Imagine being a grown man and deciding to be an Optus customer, lmao

Someone sent me a screenshot the other day and it had “Amaysim” (pre-paid service) as the provider.

He is no longer in my life.

Surely "Belong" would be the network to go for since they are so inclusive.

That's right, they will allow anyone or anything to access their network as long as the bill is paid.

Am i being overly cynical. Hmmm Owned by Telstra.

What's wrong with prepaid? I know nothing about Amaysim but I get everything I need from a $230/year Boost prepaid plan. Uses the Telstra network and way cheaper than postpaid.

One for the Yes voters who cite education as causality.

Not sure on your conclusion. If you're talking about life success then a decent amount of education is necessary but not sufficient.

But extra education after that sufficiency level is definitely useless. I know a lot of PhDs and none of them are particularly intelligent except in their very very specific field.

We have two phones in the house on Optus and two on Telstra. Optus is actually better up in the bush where I am so kept it but * they are s**t at keeping their networks up.

One of my mates started at Optus in IT and on his first day entered some dodgy code that shut down their entire networks for about 4 hours. Back in those days they had to compensate business and individuals when they lost networks. Cost them a couple of million in payouts.

Yeah I've worked with Optus IT a bit and they're pretty bad. Telstra are terrible too in most of the business, but at least the networks division seems to have its shit together.

Amaysim, christ that is bleak. Pre-paid owners of anything shouldn't have friends IMO

I'm too lazy to pay bills so just have everything on auto payments.

IQ tests consider a range of knowledge, and i suspect a lot of those who go into very high level specific fields of knowledge tend to get tunnel vision.
They may know the most practical way to harness nuclear fusion and demonstrate the mathematics, but they've forgotten who the president of the united states is.
Never mind, chances are the pres has forgotten that too.

Out in the country its pretty much pot luck where they decide to build towers.
My parents had a holiday house on the South Gippsland coast, for years there was zero optus and patchy telstra. So all the locals there used Telstra based service.
Suddenly Optus built a new tower , suddenly Optus is amazing, and telstra remains patchy.

The intelligent person (or wise, whichever adjective you prefer) doesn't overestimate their intelligence in comparison to others.

Nothing in isolation, but you don’t strike me as a “can’t text I’m out of credit” type operator like this bloke.
F*cker is over 30 still bumming around like a 14 year old girl in 2005.

Yeah for sure. I just thought you were making a point about "education as causality".

Point was about the Yes voters assuming their 'education' allowed them to reach some form of mystical enlightenment known only to the inner-city elite.

Yeah that's the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Imagine being a grown man and going to the supermarket to ask the cashier (who's probably on a post paid plan themselves) for prepaid credit, lmao

Imagine being a grown man

Hang in there Buster

Is that how they'd do it?

I have all my kids on pre-paid, no-one is going to a supermarket.
Seems a weird old fashioned way to do it.

 

[George]

Imagine being a grown man and questioning another grown man, who hasn't had prepaid since he was 12, on the ways in which to get prepaid credit, lmao
