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. It’s not horrific, but man I’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)

What do you mean with that Boost comment? Been contemplating moving there from Amaysim

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Boost almost ALWAYS have a good deal going. Extra data for 3 months, or cashback on a prepaid sim. But for an existing customer? you get none of that. So you're better off porting in and porting out every time the deal ends. A bit like changing your NBN provider every 6 months.
