We’ve swept the WhistleOut Awards

Well, we don’t like to brag (too much), but Optus has just claimed a stack of accolades at this year’s WhistleOut Awards.
So, we’ve dusted off the metaphorical limo, squeezed into our most glamorous metaphical outfits and strut the metaphorical red carpet to collect not one, not three, but FOUR shiny awards from everyone’s favourite Telco comparison website, WhistleOut.
That’s right, amidst all the glitz and glam that you can expect at one of the biggest nights for the telecommunications biz, we’ve picked up awards for ‘Best Mobile Broadband Provider - High Use’, ‘Best Home Wireless Broadband’, ‘Best Provider - iPhone Plans’ and ‘Best Provider - Samsung Plans’.

The awards in more detail
Best Mobile Broadband Provider - High use
Your favourite option for on-the-go access has its own category, and rightly so. The beautiful little SIM is your highway on ramp to the wider world of seamless streaming, extra-long road trip playlists and a stronger video-call game.
That’s why we’re extra proud that the WhistleOut team have decided to award us the Best Mobile Broadband Provider - High Use, because it means we’re doing something right in this increasingly important category.

Best Home Wireless Broadband Provider
We’re rapidly approaching a world that’s entirely wire-free, and that’s why we’re thrilled to be at the forefront of the future of broadband with an award-winning solution, with a wireless 4G connection for your home.
It’s especially recommended if your home doesn’t sit in a 5G friendly area yet (we’re working on it) and you want to get a feel for the convience of awireless tomorrow.

Best Provider - iPhone Plans
The ubiquitous iPhone is one of Australia’s most-loved devices, and that’s why it deserves the phone plan to match (you also deserve it). This particular award celebrates the iPhone plans that deliver the best value to Australians - which people like you love the most too.
So really what we’re saying is that if you get the most loved phone on the most loved plan, it’s love to the power of love, or love squared.
And isn’t that nice?

Best Provider - Samsung Plans
But when it comes to competition, there’s almost no greater rivalry than Samsung vs iPhone, and just because we don’t want to be seen to be taking sides between the two amazing manufacturers, we’ve made sure you get the same value with a Samsung on an Optus plan..
When it comes to spreading the award-winning value, we want to cover all the bases.
