  Hutchy reckons Freo is a bigger club than C'wood at the moment. Freo are playing great footy & deserve to be flag favourites. However, even if Optus Stadium had a similar capacity to the MCG, I doubt they would be attracting crowds of 80,000 plus on a regular basis. Financially, the pies are all over them. I would also argue that WCE are the No.1 WA team by a stretch (4 flags, tainted or otherwise) despite 4-5 poor years.

  @PaulDonGipps The WAFL eagles just played this afternoon on a fairly open oval just down the road from Optus.

  In 3 weeks, Freo play StK at Optus. During that time, I hope I can forget that the Blues had a red hot sniff on the road against the Dockers while the Saints stomped on their dead carcass in front of the Blues home crowd. One year ago today, 94-33. Never forget that one.

  @eevblog I have both, NBN service stability is far less than Starlink's, so it is my backup. I could probably push traffic through both, did that with Telstra and Optus cable modems back in the day, but Starlink is so fast I haven't needed to bother.

  @eevblog Maybe Optus doesn't want you to leave and stop paying them, even if they are related to the network? I can only assume here that Dodo is less expensive than Optus, and that is the reason for you wanting to migrate.

  @FOXFOOTY Crap. SA v WA at Optus next year then the winner plays Vic the following year in Adelaide or Perth.

  Tech illiterate idiots in this comment section is insane, if ur still getting low internet speeds with nbn installed ur likely not asking for the fttp upgrade which is free and ur paying the same per month sometimes even cheaper then ur avg fttn ect with deals, yes sometimes u cant get fttp installed but cases are slim and u only ever have to pay if ur 1. Getting business grade lines (which u wont need for the avg household) 2. If they have to actually install the lines which if u have pre existing lines then ur fine and wont need to pay which is the case for most, As for wifi its only really a user issue so many things can can contribute to a bad wifi connection Like Bad routers Damaged lines Interference (usually if u have ur router lined with a stud in the wall can contribute to this) but microwaves and emf interference can cause a bad wifi connection Some routers just need a simple setup properly rather then it being just default IF you’re internet provider says anything like ur ineligible immediately ask for a technician to come out and look as the internet provider company’s themselves don’t have the technology to see if you’re ineligible or not they might say they do but at best they only have surface level ****, my first 2/3 calls to the internet company’s themselves were “you’re ineligible” the 4th I asked for a technician to atleast have a look and he said and in quotes “this is piss easy to install what where they even telling you” they then relayed that to them and got this (photo attached) within the next couple of days with the fibre installed And I’ll add my circumstances which is why I think most will not have any issues • I live in ******** nowhere with a avg of 2/5k people with a outdated tower for the town • the house I’m currently in is roughly 80+ years old as far as I know it got built in 1945 (yes it did get re modernised but like surface level **** like up to date stove and redone walls and paint obviously) no rewiring Yes we got ****** by abbot so we had to deal with **** company’s like Telstra Optus selling a fttn scam for probably more than enough time but we have had fibre implementations for a while now so the wifi/internet connection excuse just isn’t there anymore maybe at the start but we are pretty close to having most of Australia on fttp or atleast attempting We are in no way as good as NZs and USAs fibre implementations but you should be getting perfectly fine wifi and speeds for the avg homes use no matter what you do and if u work from home and do any data transfer work.

  In 2022, Optus (Australia's 2nd biggest telco) exposed 9.8 million customer records. Root cause: an old API endpoint from a legacy system, left unauthenticated, facing the public internet. No one knew it was still running.

  @bowling23 I was at the game last year , at Optus. They defended better that day. The suns still defend poorly at times. Today, they relied on their offence. North are bad defensively.. Suns are not too much better.
