  @ThoughtVacancy @wayne_kag @AlboMP It is a problem and it bloody well exists!!! Ever tried cancelling Optus Sport, BigPond Broadband or Foxtel? Try listening to Optus's "give me the simple life" hold music for 2 hours.

  I am too lazy to proof read and edit the below from grok, we had a chat in the car and below is the direct output for a post from grok, 85% my intent but could use some polish… (it gave me 3x image prompts, images from grok attached are also not proofed.) - enjoy: Why Starlink Roam Falls Flat in Australia (And How to Fix It) Honest opinion: Starlink Roam is brilliant on paper—$80 a month for 100GB priority data, perfect for caravans, motorhomes, or pros working on the go in the outback. But in reality? It’s poop for mobile use. Australia’s endless trees, dense bushland, and tunnels (think Bruce Highway or any regional drive) block the line-of-sight to satellites constantly. You’re crawling along at zero bars half the time, burning data elsewhere or offline entirely. Great for static campsites, useless in motion. The glaring hardware oversight: No LTE/cellular failover. Starlink Mini (or next-gen) should’ve shipped with an eSIM slot for Australian carriers like Telstra or Optus. When sats fail, auto-switch to 4G/5G local network as a hotspot—seamless, like your phone. Caveat: ACMA spectrum rules (IMT bands for terrestrial mobile) might need carrier partnerships, but it’s doable—Telstra/Optus already partner with Starlink for direct-to-device sat-to-phone using those bands. NBN fixed-wireless modems do exactly this: SIM failover when fibre/cable drops, approved under existing regs. If it’s green for NBN, it should be for Starlink Roam. Pricing fix for AU market: Base $19 add-on for up to 10% cellular failover (10GB on the $80 plan), covering Starlink’s wholesale data costs. Double to $38 for 100% cellular option if you’re in eternal tree hell. Keeps it affordable, competitive with eSIM hotspots, and actually usable. Starlink, take notes—Gen3 Mini or beyond, make it hybrid. Aussie travellers deserve better. What do you reckon? Roll it out!

  @ollierafc @Optus What a croc of crap. It's electronic. Just because the stores are shut on a public holiday. The electronic version doesn't shut down..

  @Optus router and modem aren’t compatible and they denied they’d supplied it but they sent it to us. Appalling. Such trashy service!!

  @TeamHinduUnited The BS that they spread that they converted to Christianity because of caste Optus just Bull-Crap! They converted to Christianity because they are greedy and have absolutely no principles or self-respect. This has always been the case.

  @Optus It’s an insane state of affairs that Optus now has to specify “but this time we didn’t let any of our customers pass away by denying them the right to call emergency services”. Crazy that no other telco has ever needed to clarify that

  @Optus network between Ballarat and Melbourne… absolutely woeful! Switched from @Telstra last year, not sure it was the best decision… although they weren’t much better. 3rd World network. #shameful #dobetter

  @InTheMixer_FM The problem in Perth is HBF stadium is shite and we don't have our own version of CommBank or Ammi Park so any major rectangular event defaults to Optus statium which is a terrible stadium for rectangular field sports.

  @deniseshrivell 5G modem has never worked better. I then found out they tried the same thing with my dad and he fell for their reasons. He has an old computer that doesn’t even reach the speeds the NBN plan they put him on can reach. Boo Optus Boo iiNet!
