  Two & a half hours on several chats with @Optus staff & still no resolve. This is fkn bullshit customer service when your staff “Frankie” has changed us to the wrong plan (for upgrade of modem).

  Working in regional NSW today and only @Telstra users could make calls. Optus: no signal. Vodafone: non‑existent. 2026 and we still don’t have a shared rural network? When one telco holds all the coverage, it’s not a choice - it’s a monopoly. #WakeUpAustralia #NannyStateNSW

  @AusSpaceAgency @raytracer_co @Optus I know Canadian teams capable of building this. They just never get the runway. Three years to live satellite ops is unthinkable at home.

  @Optus has to be one of the worst companies I have dealt with. 3 hours of dealing with several departments about a simple fix only to be told they can’t help me and I have to go in store. Useless.

  @optus has the worst customer service. I have tried to cancel my internet 3 times now. Every time I get to my final sign off, the online person discontents, and you then have to go through the entire process again. I switch to @Starlink 2 months ago - very quick internet.

  Of course the bad weather finally hits Perth when the Eagles have a run of Optus Stadium games.

  @levied @Optus @Starlink I had the same issue several years ago now, if they're still doing this ****** tactic it might be worth lodging a complaint with the ombudsman.

  @AndyG_2086 @ejburke_ At least we wouldnt have to remove seats like the US as some the stadia are not wide enough to fit the FIFA standard width. It dint seem to be a problem at Olympiastadion (Berlin) to watch on an Oval stadium. Im sure MCG/Optus{perth} and adalaide Oval would be fine.

  Kiro is pure garbage. I ran it for a few minutes using Optus 4.6, and then it told me "Invalid model ID. Please select a different model to continue." I couldn't find a refund option either, so I guess I'll just consider the $13 a waste. @kirodotdev
