@ryanleckie @Optus @Telstra Even with the additional cost of Telstra, I’ve never regretted the move away from Optus.

Hey @Optus - your service sucks. Calls cutting out after 10 seconds is not good for business.

@peters_malcolm Telstra and Optus for the last decade - "Your call is important to us, we are experiencing a higher than usual volume of calls atm" No, it's the usual volume of calls. I got Starlink so that I never have to deal with our sub par telcos ever again.

@iiNet just canceled my ozemail account after nearly 30 years. That’s how dreadful your service has become, how empty your promises to fix things are, and how💩 your company is. Bought a 500GB SIM from Optus, immediate 40Mbps stable connection compared to your unstable 1.5Mbps

See, the problem is my fault. Because I’ve been with @Optus for 20 years, I'm treated like crap. I should churn every few weeks like everyone else and I’d probably have implants by now.

Around Heidelberg and Eaglemont stations, data from the mobile signal disappears completely. I've never fully understood why, and have wondered if the hospitals are somehow to blame. Yes it's both the Telstra and Optus coverage.
