  • coelmay Coel May (@coelmay) reported

    @amaysimAU There's nothing to check. I simply don't use the data allocated so it "banks". Reasons are a) I'm at home more often than not and b) @optus network at my house is pitiful so I use WiFi instead.

    You're on hold. It's been fifteen minutes. Surely you can make it, right? You make the decision and rush to the toilet. You pull down your pants an- "Hi this is Daniel from Optus". ****

    @backupbear Nah I sent the photo to the ABB support guy, and bypassed all the troubleshooting I’m sure Telstra or Optus would make you reboot your modem though

    @CdrHBiscuitIII @PMGPSC Knew a management contractor on NBN. Biggest waste of money I've ever heard. Billions buying rotted cables from Optus. Turnbull announces turning world-leading into piece of ****. Anyone competent leaves. Remainder of useless people become management. Hire unthreatening idiots.

    next @Optus I think you have more than one song but it kept restarting for some reason? Boring corporate garbage 3/10

  • qlotti Renee Burge (@qlotti) reported
