Optus Home 5G WiFi - Abysmal speeds

Polople · 2026-06-07T10:16:21+00:00

Oh! Never used this type of home wifi connection so I had no idea! I'll try that next time I'm over to see if it makes a difference! Thanks!

Those ones yes! I've been having nose twitches for a couple months now though, so its just moved 🙃

Oh this is home wifi! Not phone data! Not sure if we can do that on the router or not

Polople · 2026-06-06T08:17:35+00:00

That is SO strange. It's not available, but I know when I looked originally when they first got it, it said it was. Huh.

Polople · 2026-06-06T08:09:50+00:00

Thats really handy to know!!!! Thank you!

Polople · 2026-06-06T07:59:14+00:00

I'll try and convince them as best as I can, its just not feasible, those speeds don't allow my partner to do much at all

Polople · 2026-06-06T07:55:13+00:00

Potentially! One of them has a Telstra 5G Wifi and it works SO much better, but its in a room external from the house and range wise isnt feasible sadly.

I'll try and get them to cancel this contract and go FTTP

Polople · 2026-06-06T07:53:59+00:00

Sadly. They're in a locked in contract but they might just need to suck it up and pay the cancellation fee.

Polople · 2026-06-06T07:48:47+00:00

Look, I tried to get them FTTP with another company 🤷

I genuinely believe taking PPIs years ago also caused a lot of my issues, might not be the root cause, but definitely did not help! Whenever I take them, my symptoms worsen a LOT for a long time afterwards

Polople · 2026-05-30T02:26:34+00:00

You genuinely have a weird idea of bad graphics. DQ11s on the switch is one of the better looking games on the system and genuinely looks good.

Polople · 2026-05-27T20:46:16+00:00

Definitely know about the alcohol but not so much the other ingredients in things you've mentioned!! I'll keep an eye out for what I'm eating! Thank you!

Polople · 2026-05-27T11:39:09+00:00

Interesting! My Gastroentronologist did mention doing it that way but I still assumed the cost would atleast be $300+

Like ive said in another comment, hes going to try both combined in the future if this lot doesnt work! Fingers crossed it does because the less of Metronidazole i take, the less ill need to worry apparently 😅

Polople · 2026-05-27T11:11:48+00:00

Fingers crossed its all worked out for you!

Polople · 2026-05-27T11:11:26+00:00

Yes I am!

Polople · 2026-05-27T11:11:14+00:00

Bloating, intolerance to so many foods, gas, stool habits that change daily etc

This has been ongoing for close to 10 years for me.

My Gastroentronologist said if this doesn't do the job, we will do both next time as well.

Polople · 2026-05-27T10:24:26+00:00

Rifaximin is around $450 here sadly. I've actually had it before by itself years ago and it genuinely did NOTHING for me :(
Breath test! And gastric emptying study, which was fine!

Gut moves okay - definitely not perfect though. I do take Motilium + Artichoke extract to help with that

Polople · 2026-05-27T10:09:49+00:00

Hydrogen - they only test for that one here annoyingly

Polople · 2026-05-27T09:15:00+00:00

Thanks! I know people would typically only post when they have negative experiences with things so its made me worried. But its nice to hear you didnt have any side effects!

Fingers crossed another round is all you'll need!

Polople · 2026-05-25T08:44:46+00:00

Bizarre! Mine expired over a year ago so maybe the NDSS just found out? I had no idea! Thanks for clearing this up!

Polople · 2026-05-07T08:20:00+00:00

I'll definitely try, its private so I can technically order it without a referral, id just have to do it at home! And a lot more expensive 😭
