-
Jyckel C (@CavillJyckel) reported from Wollongong, New South Wales@EdKent77 @Optus So hard to support from a distance, particularly when she’s distressed already.
-
Ben (@iB3nji) reported from Wollongong, New South Wales@mrdanielfeo @Optus @Telstra Agree, 1.5Mbps is terrible.
-
Pete Nowakowski (@petenowakowski) reported from Wollongong, New South Wales@DanielNigro76 Yep. Parents house connected to Optus network.
-
Ben (@iB3nji) reported from Wollongong, New South Wales@blake_andersson @Telstra @Optus Go Boost Mobile! I’m with them. Same Telstra network, unlimited Apple Music, more data for less. Pre-paid.
-
John Roach (@cambuslangtrain) reported from Wollongong, New South Wales@LesStonehouse Faithful to Telstra for 40 years despite our blind loyalty not being reciprocated in quality of service or pricing. Switched to Optus at NBN connection time some years back. Could not be happier with Optus!! Stuff Telstra "and all who ro(r)t in her!!"

Pete Nowakowski (@petenowakowski) reported from Wollongong, New South Wales@kirstinferguson @Optus My parents and I on Optus network. Mum got the txt, dad and I didn't.

Ben (@iB3nji) reported from Wollongong, New South Wales@Telstra_news “Telstra operate the nation’s only 5G network”. I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure @Optus has 5G too.

Yvonne Gunn (@YvonneGunn) reported@EVERALDATLARGE Many have said their Telstra provider phone worked but not their Optus. I even saw one question regarding Vodafone. Is it a provider issue perhaps?

B-Rad 🍉🔴🦢🐶 (@ImOneWithTheKop) reported@footyindustryAU Granted for those states. AO and Optus were well executed. That Tassie will cost more than either for a stadium less than half the capacity pisses me off (I'm aware of all the supply side problems). Whilst Brisbane Roar is being fkd around by Suncorp having the busiest schedule.

Ray Finkle (@itsrayfinkle) reportedAusAlert cost ~$130 million to rollout. A 13x increase from the $10m initial budget. Here are the known costs and estimates: $10m Initial Planning Taskforce $60-70m Carrier access tolls (Telstra, Optus, TPG) $30m Security architecture & hardening $20-25m Foreign hardware + offshore managed services $5-10m Public awareness, testing & administration Want to know how each allocation is spent? Too bad. Contractors and government use "Commercial-in-Confidence" clauses to keep specific commercial margins and costs hidden from the public eye. A 1300% blowout with no accountability.
-
J Labs (@jnj_pro) reported@Optus The advise didn't help. Can @Optus explain why already logged in users still need to do identify verification form as well as verification code. What security concerns the process actually addresses? Compared with putting unnecessary burden and waste time for users.

Robot Cave (@RobotCaveCom) reportedOrbital robotics is quietly becoming a real commercial business, not a DARPA demo. Northrop's Mission Robotic Vehicle just launched on a Falcon 9 with two robotic arms and three detachable Mission Extension Pods. In 2027, it will autonomously dock with the Optus satellite at ~27,000 miles up and bolt on a pod to extend its life by 6 years. The Optus bird launched in 2009, designed for 15 years. It's not broken. It just needs propellant. That's the whole thesis here. The business model shift is what stands out. Operators buy and own the MEPs permanently attached to their spacecraft. That frees the MRV to keep servicing other vehicles, more like a mobile repair truck than a dedicated tug. Two MEVs have already delivered 10 years of combined life extension across three customers. The unit economics are starting to close. Autonomous proximity ops at GEO velocities, with no margin for error, is the hard part. Does the MRV's dual-arm approach give it enough dexterity to handle satellites it wasn't originally designed to service?

Adam Papalia (@adampaps) reported@FOXFOOTY @maxlaughton You would have instant support in the South West but a harder time converting northern suburbs of Perth away from WCE & Freo. Powers above would want northern Perth side to get the extra $$ from more matches at Optus. I am bias but South West Sharks is the way to go!
