    Yeah, I'm fed up with Optus as well.

    I can see the bloody tower from my house just about and I always get drop outs on my mobile and wireless at all times of the day.

    Never had this problem with Telstra.

    Thinking about switching back as well.

    Optus is crap. They entice buyers in with cheap plans, as does Vodafone and the others, but they should be cheaper because the coverage compared with telstra is substandard

    Might be worth having another look, lots of changes recently.


    Optus have had some mobile reception dramas for some time now, since they dropped the iphone on a couple of years ago, customers have been complaining about data issues aswell. More than a couple of Optus customers have switched to Telstra, yes you will pay more, but you will get more coverage. The 900mhz network extention does not seem to have improved things as much as they hoped, and in some areas have caused more problems for customers.


    *this is the disclaimer I have to add, Yes I am an employee, these comments are not endorsed by Telstra.*
