I honestly thought Boost was a Telstra subsidiary the way Jetstar is to Qantas. I say this as someone who has been a Boost customer for a year. I get Telstra notifications and SMS messages about my service.

I did, too. The article says they just had "operational control" over boost, though. Amaysim is like the optus version of boost, and I think has been owned by optus since COVID times

it was in almost all but name. Telstra provided almost ALL components of it but the marketing.
