  @FranMooMoo Optus forced me to upload the lasted software update on my phone or they would remove me from their network. That’s enough for me to opt in with Starlink and opt out of Optus🇦🇺👍

  @TheCl0wn85 @Telstra I felt like that when i moved from Optus for the same reason. As soon as the contract is up I'll switch back, basically no service ever in my area.

  How bad is the turf at Optus Stadium? I've never seen so many players slipping over in a dry game.

  Update 5. Annnddd we're done. "Glad we've been able to help you. This case is now resolved" So, if you are hearing impaired you are not welcome at Optus ... they will only help you if you can speak on the phone. Disgraceful in this day and age @Optus. @Vodafone, here I come!

  If you only have one SIM it sucks to be you. I have 4. Telstra, Optus, Vodafone and a French SIM from Free. So I’m never without service.

  @matt_barrie @van00sa And the Optus network went down right after Albanese visited Beijing in November 2023.

  @FranMooMoo I use Optus 5G on my phone with 500gb of data and that feeds my computers indoors, TV etc and it is super fast, up to 350mbs. only problem is they have stuff all 5G towers and most are still 4G only, they just wont upgrade them, I'm in a good area with a good signal.

  @ianclarkeAU If you have a business you need both, they never go down at the same time. This was the case with Optus and Telstra cable networks decades ago, if you had both and a firewall/router that handled either bridging or failover you were never off line. Mind you Telstra did get nasty in the early days because their billing system was lazy so you could send packets out on one service and pull down data on the other thus avoiding usage fees. 🤓
