  @helphelpandhelp It's the fact that Optus KEPT all the personal info, even of ex-customers. WTF were they doing with licence and passport numbers well after the 100 point check had been done. WHY?

  Optus is traditionally the best service at the farm & being that Starlink is temperamental, at least I'll finally have good coverage there. Of all five networks that I can conveniently access, none of them work properly here.

  @outbreezyWC SACA has the rights to Adelaide Oval till the end of March or something - so that makes sense given the issues last year when SA had the home Sheffield Shield final and Optus has the Matilda’s playing there in a day or two

  @ausstockchick Moonlighting as Optus Customer Support.

  Phone bills are about to bite harder - Optus, Telstra and Vodafone have told customers mobile prices will rise soon, squeezing household budgets across Australia. First, the hikes are being driven by higher network and operating costs, inflation and ongoing 5G investment, and will hit both postpaid accounts and some prepaid users. Second, timing and scale differ by provider - some increases take effect within weeks and could outpace general inflation, so expect clear monthly impacts. Third, consumer protections are limited - check your contract, know your exit rights and review small-business plans. Act now: compare plans, contact your provider for options and escalate to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman or ACCC if you need help. #Telecoms #CostOfLiving #Australia
