Switched to Vodafone for a moment cause Optus still arnt pricing themselves like they torched their brand, and boost actively incentivise you to port out then port back in. Itโ€™s not horrific, but man Iโ€™m outta the house 50 minutes and notching the network gaps pretty bad!

Out in the NW burbs, I used to get spotty interruptions with Optus (work phone). My personal Voda one, never had an issue.

Maybe that's why I never got the hate for Vodafone.

Voda in my home suburb seems fine. Great even. Voda on the train? ehhhh.

Yeah I do get a bit of an iffy bit between Footscray and west Footscray...even through they're both above ground.

All the underground stations never have an issue (Parliament and Melb Central included)

Told the wife to play the โ€œblue eyes white dragonโ€ in her game of queens blood in ff7. Anyone else draw intense joy from annoying their spouse with dumb jokes? I LIVE for the disappointed grunt noise I got.

Ughh. Had a long hot shower to try and manage pain. It's a huge waste of water and the least environmentally friendly habit I have but unfortunately it's not going anywhere.

Not a waste, needed for your wellbeing. Besides, Melbourne water storage is at 92% and Summerโ€™s over, rainy autum and winter ahead. Thereโ€™s no need to ration water right now. Any excess just gets released out of the dams.
