I’d take the lovely, spacious 9 across 777 Virgin operate over a cramped 9 across 787 every single day of the week.

The LCD is over twice as bright. That matters to some people (HDR lovers and bright room owners).

Just going to put it out there, I think Optus have made a few changes to their network over 10 years.

The network can't tell the difference between an Optus and Virgin customer. You even use the Optus APN when you're on Virgin.
