    @LesStonehouse @Telstra @Optus Oh He's. It does seem older folk were totally neglected in all of this. No NBN no phone. Cutoffs before they were ready. Expectations they'd understand it all. Neighbour is nearly 90 and it's been awful trying to keep him connected. All on his own.

    @blake_andersson @Telstra @Optus Go Boost Mobile! I’m with them. Same Telstra network, unlimited Apple Music, more data for less. Pre-paid.

    Just got off the phone with @Optus asking them to send bills to our current address i.e. where there is active service, not the address the service was changed from 6-months ago. This is the 6th time I've had to call and make this request. How many more times will I have to call?

    @mcg63679777 I don't own an Optus SIM so what speed are you getting on the Telstra Network in Tumbarumba ? I borrowed a friends Optus SIM and ran the test off a Telstra Samsung A31 with bluetick.
