John Cas (@moresunshine_1) reported@OMGTheMess The problem is, if the Libs got in whilst that program was being rolled out: today's batteries would be replaced with traditional car batteries, older inverters would be used, they pull ye ol optus cable and repurpose it for electrical wiring. Solar replaced with wind etc...

Benji James (@benjivoices) reportedAs we speak, @Optus, @VodafoneAU, and @Aussie_BB are all down, with no signs of news as to why all 3 are all down at once. I’m calling it - there’s been a massive hack of some sort. #australia #geelong #internet
-
Puntasaurus Bets (@Puntasaurus) reportedBrayshaw: I know his form has been dodgy, but he is 8/L9 over this vs WCE, averaging 29.4. In 25 & 26, he is also over in 10/16 games at Optus for 28.3. Rarely lets me down so backing him again here in the #AFLCappersLeague. Line moved overnight. I hope that doesn’t hurt me!

Fenix (@SpiderStrange_) reported@87off41 @JadShreyLuv you have never seen him playing in optus and mcg, right? that's not my fault.
-
notonlyacocky (@hasselljpb) reportedI had to help a tech at the local ph tower last night because the power tripped. (Access in the night is a bit dodgy) Electronic lock that needed guess what? Phone coverage!!! Lucky it was an @optus tower and he had @Telstra You can’t make this up!!!
-
David Horrocks (@DavidHorrocks1) reported@optus_help My mobile broadband internet in Eagleby is struggling at 0.21 mb per sec. I can’t even check network on Optus app. Poor internet is regular in my area. Is there any possibility that one day Wireless might be available?
-

-
MrNelli (@MrNe11i) reported@ben_mummery @gooneritis @TheFootyFeed Tell us you only started watching football yesterday without telling us. Arsenal have the most VAR errors since VAR was introduced Fact and even on Optus

Ruben Nunez (@rubenm2016) reported@Optus Seriously, I’ve been trying to organise to payout my phone over the past two months through your chat. I’ve been told now twice that “it would appear on my next billing cycle” and never does and then I am told “again” that I need to wait until next month. What a joke
-
Tak 🇦🇺 (@NF_Tak) reportedI went to cancel my service today, and they wanted me to speak with the @Optus loyalty team. I have been waiting for over 1 hour for this amazing loyalty service! I should have just cancelled when I had the chance.
-
Dre🅰️d (@5ingularitea) reported@RocketTank123 Aussies have love/hate relationship with Telstra. It is the most expensive and customer service often terrible but for rural coverage it is the best by far. Optus or Vodafone would love to take some of Telstra’s pie with $ASTS remote coverage
-
Dave Jones (@eevblog) reportedHoly f*uck trying to get an Optus data SIM was a nightmare. The usual system at Harvey Norman wouldn't work, no one could figure out why, had to call Optus support and do it manually. And I had to bend over and get privacy rubber glove, credit check the whole works.
-
Andrew Carter (@AussiePunter32) reported@reidallaboutit9 @lozza929406 @WestCoastEagles Hey at least it’s not at highly skilled stadium or whatever ******** its name is now. We took it right up to them at Optus last year and we’re considerably better now, Elijah will almost certainly be back for it also. Incursion🤔 think that might be a typo mate.
-
Anthony (@onebigmoon31) reportedIs the camera work at Optus always this horrendous? Missed half the game while the focus is off play. Horrible viewing.
-
Cal (@Cal_UpTheTigs) reported@smd_donald Richmond beat West coast by 40 at optus late last season. Neither result is a reliable indicator of where they're at because they both suck. Teams go through good and terrible patches, especially when they're as bad as these 2 teams are.
-
Peter Watson (@PWestieNZ) reported******* OneNz are the most useless comms provider on planet earth they are worse than Optus in Australia and that takes some effort because last time I was with optus their tech support left me feeling (allegedly) homicidal .... so a great big fat **** YOU to @OneNZ or whatever shell company hoovers up money and gives sweet **** all in the way of service to the ever suffering rural NZ'er Where is my ******* @starlink ?
-
DDTBRAD (@Lakshit96792492) reported@aliktareen he bats 3 at optus so shouldnt have ben much of a problem
-
Red Crow (@redcrow_28) reported1. 2001 v Carl (OO) Winless from the first three games, the Crows travelled to a dreary Optus Oval in horrible thunder, lightning and rain desperate for a win. Despite the atrocious conditions, the Crows led by new skipper Mark Ricciuto’s four goals, ground out a heroic win.
-
K S (@siento) reported@greg__briggs @disco___cat Yeah. Aldi are good. I switched from Optus and the coverage seems better and it's cheaper. The app and support leave a bit to be desired though. Major cities and highway stuff for coverage checks.
-
Raymond McKeown (@RaymondKeown3) reported@Kate3015 @Mark_Butler_MP So was the Optus Mobile Phone Network, all must have a design, this was a thought process.
-
💧Jenny White (@jennywhite38) reported@Optus Was wondering how long its going to be before I can make ph calls, receive texts and do internet banking with mobile, as postcode 3139 seems to have no service due to works?
