  @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?

  Does it make you sick to your stomach when you are an Optus customer for a long time, How long you have been a customer for and how they have mistreated their customers by WAYYYY Overcharging for their pre paid internet services. We get the shittiest deals even though WE PAY IN ADVANCE just to have out DETAILS LEAKED TO THE DARKWEB.I Got no apology and it works out we pau more money and PAY UP FRONT, no invoices but OPTUS prepaid Customers just ***** in the *** with a ***** comparable to the Governments they keep ******* us with!!!

  @Candour100 @blu_boys @Optus Yeah my husband had to switch to the Telstra network because of remote work. Boost was his choice.

  @central01000011 Depends on the network, Telstra and Optus are great. But I have no idea about Vodafone.

  @satoshigoy @Optus AusAlert isn’t delivered through @Optus. On LTE, the cell sends a Paging indication 'cmas-Indication-r9' then the warning itself is broadcast in SIB12. A working SIM or successful network registration is not required.

  @strangebaaza @RjeyTech Well, I beg to differ. My previous fold 4, S22 ultra, fold 6, the current fold 7 and s26 ultra all had or have green line screen issues while my iPhone 12 pro, iPhone 14 pro max and 16 pro max still going strong, no issues whatsoever. All cost pretty much the same but Samsung quality is subpar, and service is shite. I still ordered the fold 8 as currently it is available for $0 via Optus Harvey Norman Australia. Bet you, it will also likely have this screen issue. No matter what Samsung does, somehow manages to create overpriced paperweights.

  @1amsharky @DeafMango ENG had better bowlers last time around. This time they don't have quality bowlers. They did really well in the last Ashes down under when they got bouncy decks in Optus, MCG. If theres a flat deck then it would end up in draw as neither teams could take 20 wkts on those surfaces

  @myGovau Go digital they said. What that has got us? MyGov, Telstra, Optus hacked. Stolen identities, etc. This isn't even 1% the problem. Why keep pushing something that causes many problems & stress to everyday ppl? Tracing private citizens every move is the objective.

  @MichaelRuyg yep, when they built the NBN fixed wireless tower, that carries optus and vodafone as well, it had a backup generator. then the tower got "upgraded" with 6 months of regular outages and then next power outage we discovered the backup generator and the ability to call 000 was gone
