  @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.

  @nemagovau If i receive the alert on the phones i had to replace because they couldn't call one number on one network that i don't use, "000" on Voda network. Then i want those phones imei numbers reinstated on the Telstra & Optus, that i have sims for. The public/private partnership scam

  @Adrian_Arciuli @FIFAWorldCup Get rid of the mcg, Adelaide oval and Optus. Not designed for football. Terrible to watch a game

  Is it just me, or has Optus 5 been seriously dumbed down? I feel 4.8 was way better.

  @gpeurocars These 1/2 wits leave us unsafe! Telstra & Optus widespread outages triggers severe, cascading national security & public emergencies as modern infrastructure is hyper-connected, a single software defect or network drop instantly paralyzes critical systems, not just calls. 2/2 🧵

  @strangerous10 The Optus CEO fell on her sword after their nationwide outage a couple of years ago. The Telstra head might go the same way. What were they thinking, laziness, or just penny-pinching.

  @nicko_316 Thats bad news for Brizvegas if you’re right. Freo will be favourites in that match up at Optus.

  @VibewireCentral What is the business case for 6G? Can we get rid of our non services and only run on the radio network? @Optus
