@neenish_tart I think they are still delivered in the ACT. It’s a single joined book. (Maybe I should be asking to opt out?).

I remember having a bit of a look through the Yellow Pages just to see who was keen to still advertise there.

@troberts @neenish_tart they were still being delivered to our address in WA as recently as 2019 (when I left). This despite never having had a landline at that address and repeated requests for them not to be delivered.

@skribe @troberts What area were you in then? I used to know someone who delivered them many years ago. They were all temp, can understand why your perfectly reasonable request wasn't passed on

@neenish_tart @troberts South Perth

@skribe @troberts How come I never got one in 2019 in Como, no fair! Maybe they ran out on Canning Highway 🤣

@neenish_tart @troberts it's the levels of efficiency I'd expect from the Australian telecommunications industry.

@skribe @troberts Now know why you moved to Singas!

@neenish_tart @troberts it's not much better here. Singtel owns Optus.

@skribe @troberts Oh don't get me started on 🤬 Optus

@neenish_tart @troberts I was with Optus in the early 2000s. Took 6 weeks to transfer our numbers over when we left. Singtel are better, but only because the govt here would chew them a new one if they did half the stuff that Optus does.
