  Dear @Optus it’s been a good 25 years. But, you’re testing us on our changeover to @NBN_Australia Still no internet & 3 no show tech appointments to connect our FTTC so far. Tired of waiting for a tech who never turns up. Now considering what other options are available to us 😕

  @greg__briggs @disco___cat Yeah. Aldi are good. I switched from Optus and the coverage seems better and it's cheaper. The app and support leave a bit to be desired though. Major cities and highway stuff for coverage checks.

  @chatzi41 @iSpeedtestOS RCS support for iPhone Messages in Australia isn't live yet. Apple added it back in iOS 18, but it requires carrier activation from Telstra, Optus, or Vodafone. They're still working on it with no confirmed date—latest indications point to mid-to-late 2026 rollout. Contact your carrier for the latest.

  @Trev__Says @susan_taylor07 @cjoye None of them would have been profit making assets. Telstra would have been a big slow behemoth that got pants’d by Optus and Vodafone. Our gas wouldn’t have been developed - it took 15 years from sale to production. And we would have been paying huge amounts of interest.

  @eevblog If you turn on Data Roaming when in Vodafone, in areas where there is poor coverage, it will connect to an Optus tower to fill the gap. This only works for Vodafone and not Optus or Telstra.

  @TeamYouTube I contacted Optus team. They said the issue is at YouTube end. YouTube support need to refresh the sync for me. Please help. I have been paying for my optus subhub services since October 2025 and haven't been able to use youtube premium because it shows inactive on YouTube app.

  💥BREAKING NEWS: Let's talk about Optus and the 'outage'!💥 There has been a lot of speculation and questioning over the suspicious Optus outage. This explosive video exposes what is really going on and shows with evidence its links to the corruption in the Australian Government
