Fair enough man.....makes sense. The network sharing agreement only came into effect in January 2025 which explains your past experience.

NedStark102 on 2-Year Fixed Home Loan from 5.55% p.a. (Expired, CR 6.05% p.a.) + 0.10% Broker Cashback @ Macquarie Bank

What are the chances of rates being unchanged for the next 24 months? That's the assumption the OP has made.

My Redmi Note 9 Pro and Poco F5 both still working. Will be interesting to see which other Xiaomi devices are impacted.

Iggemo on Proactive Action - Xiaomi (& Other Chinese Brands / Import) Phone Owners Affected by 3G Shutdown (Now Due to Be Network Blocked)

No one suggested that. Its a really bad take. The result would be that Telcos aren't forced to intervene and block devices on the basis of…

How about instead of making the telco responsible for blocking untested devices, (as per the legislation), we make consumers accountable…
