  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

  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

  Pauline can you please also look into telcos and mobile accounts because optus just put small plan up again other day by $9 a month!. I disconnected it, i actually begged to disconnect 2 services apple watch n mobile service. Im really considering disconnection of home internet and anything online subscriptions. Apple keeps taking money out account.government got no department or power to stop nor investigate. Im considering disconnection id save min $1k a month thats aprox $12 k a year. Ill get a phone that calls n txt only n use council internet at library like in past. Ive lived without it before in past. Ive lost so much weight due to orgion putting up power prices and lots of subsidies kicked in they refused to put up the ceneterpay repayment to power use kept saying oh no it will balance out. Im stuck paying $134 a week to keep home power connection on due to inept management. I know those calls were recorded , i begged and begged for it to be put up but they refused. Ive lost over 75 kg and can’t afford to eat, got no food no fuel and 1 car is out of rego my sons runs out the week. Its a endless cycle we cannot get out of. Please help us!. Thank You!.

  Currently Sim confirmation is Huawei to Huawei but my sim is not here. I do have check Optus network response time when a request is sent. I've been timing everything for a very long time so I know everything and how it's supposed to be operating.

  @Telstra Telstra Doncaster failed and refused to help, I'll be lodging a complaint with the ombudsman in due course, duly note the outcome, you lost two decades long people to Optus, who were terrific in help.

  @theinfradev @ruicharadrius I'm not revising history. The plan was fttp everywhere, with Telstra and optus copper being bought out to move them to the NBN. The copper was never going to be used for the NBN. Look at the Telstra definitive agreements from 2011.

  @optus_help Pointless. I've gone over this many times. It's been like this for a while now. It's leaving Me no choice but to have to move to another carrier. I've shown this to staff at the Bendigo Optus store. "That's pretty ****" were His exact words but NOTHING He could do.

  @TheRagingMackem I was with Optus for 10 years but only because I worked there. I've had far fewer issues with Vodafone.

  @diggerdeegs I'm with Optus too. Maybe with Elon's phone service we'll be able to call 000 in an emergency 🙄
