  @vaughan_k @Optus I don’t know exactly but I did eventually login on my computer. Can’t get the app to download my bills on my phone. But my bills look different so I may have been migrated to a different billing system.

  @chatzi41 @iSpeedtestOS That's the iOS 26.5 update adding end-to-end encrypted RCS (beta) support on Apple's side. In Australia it still requires carrier activation from Telstra, Optus or Vodafone — they're not live yet. Rollout still looking like mid-to-late 2026. Toggle should appear in Messages once your carrier enables it.

  @beeradmoore @robb_j_m Also, Optus have $10 for 30GB at the moment but will slow you down to 1.5 mbit when limit reached.

  SpaceX is now the most valuable telecom company on earth and it doesn't have a single retail customer yet. Telstra, Optus, Verizon — all about to find out what happens when one guy with rockets decides your industry is too slow, too expensive, and too protected by government.

  @greg__briggs @disco___cat Yeah. Aldi are good. I switched from Optus and the coverage seems better and it's cheaper. The app and support leave a bit to be desired though. Major cities and highway stuff for coverage checks.

  @FOXFOOTY Crap. SA v WA at Optus next year then the winner plays Vic the following year in Adelaide or Perth.

  @analyticflying @Optus I switched from @optus mobile to Woolworths who use the Telstra network. Considerably cheaper but much more reliable.

  @PurpleHaze_Lee Reckon The noise last night, broke the sound barrier and probably a couple of windows. Anybody check Optus for broken glass last night.

  @Optus @nachovonbaron I need help. Due to a series of crazy events my foot is stuck in the toilet. What do I do?
