    @toninicho I am now, seriously, thinking of changing my carrier after years of being with Optus Problem is Telstra cost me a first full money last time I was with them and I dropped Vodaphone over their poor customer service.

    @JohnCoo51013646 @call_me_tomasso @Leinster_Lad @lesleygood1 @Optus Ah yes, I well remember Telecom and the Post Office, both focused on the customer and delivering quality service.

    @LesStonehouse @Optus There is, I think I remember correctly, a period of up to 48 hours where a new service replicates across a WAN (wide area network).

    @RealMetroLounge @WindsorDebs Optus and Vodafone had to rely on Telstra, since Telstra owned the network. It wasn't until the government set up a service and bought back the network that things started to change

    @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.

    I really rate my experience working for a serviced office, what feels like a lifetime ago. I was a senior EA promoted to a virtual office manager. We had to learn some fundamental IT troubleshooting as we were our own ISP (using the Optus network).

    @smd_donald Richmond beat West coast by 40 at optus late last season. Neither result is a reliable indicator of where they're at because they both suck. Teams go through good and terrible patches, especially when they're as bad as these 2 teams are.

    I had to help a tech at the local ph tower last night because the power tripped. (Access in the night is a bit dodgy) Electronic lock that needed guess what? Phone coverage!!! Lucky it was an @optus tower and he had @Telstra You can’t make this up!!!

    @nicko_316 You gotta feel sorry for the weagles fans. They keep rocking up in droves the last 3-4 years at Optus, but they never stay for the whole game. Think the club needs to refund their membership fees. Absolute daylight heist. No wonder they're the richest club in the land.

    @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

    @gerardmmkl Are News Corp possibly nervous that Foxtel may lose the NRL rights? Because I'm quite sure that people will follow the NRL to Stan or whichever other streaming service the coverage may end up at instead, just as there was a kind of exodus from Optus to Foxtel about 25 years ago.
