  So the answer to the @Optus breach by @VicRoads is to issue everyone a second card, effectively 2 CARD # FACTOR AUTHORISATION which will need to later be quoted to companies needing license info. Looking forward to the day I have a full deck of License cards. #OptusDataBreach

  @Batman2242 Basically 2 mobile providers as Vodafone & Optus share a regional network but still have most of the cities on their own networks.

  @Optus Was wondering how long its going to be before I can make ph calls, receive texts and do internet banking with mobile, as postcode 3139 seems to have no service due to works?

  @WestCoastEagles I’m seriously thinking about not renewing my membership. I just can’t be bothered any more. I used to like footy now it’s just a chore. Add in all the bullshit songs after goals and the Optus garbage entertainment. I can’t believe I actually pay for this **** 🤮

  Screw you @Optus. Putting my plan up again and trying to make it sound better by giving me more data. I don’t use the data I have now. I’ve moved providers so no longer a customer.

  @MattM_78 @optus_help Will be interesting to see what they can offer. I got nothing the last time and when I was wanting to upgrade my phone was told I couldn’t have a cheaper plan as it was only for new customers. I’ve left and gone elsewhere. Just waiting to activate my new SIM so I can cancel Optus

  @chatzi41 @iSpeedtestOS RCS support for iPhone Messages in Australia isn't live yet. Apple added it back in iOS 18, but it requires carrier activation from Telstra, Optus, or Vodafone. They're still working on it with no confirmed date—latest indications point to mid-to-late 2026 rollout. Contact your carrier for the latest.

  @eevblog I have both, NBN service stability is far less than Starlink's, so it is my backup. I could probably push traffic through both, did that with Telstra and Optus cable modems back in the day, but Starlink is so fast I haven't needed to bother.
