    @MrSquiggleAu @NBN_Australia I'm with Vodafone. I've been with both Telstra and Optus over the years and Vodafone is great now they have good coverage. Telstra is only useful if you live out bush. Optus was ripping me off with secret charges and they wouldn't fix it when I realised.

  • AureliaStClair Aurelia St Clair (@AureliaStClair) reported

    @Optus having the worst time with international data plan 🥲 pls help x

  • deeyaygz D (@deeyaygz) reported

    @Optus I am using an Apple TV 4K 2021 version, it is on your list. My connection is 89mbps download and 38mbps upload, every other streaming app is streaming 4K with no issues. Just Optus that is poor

  • Adam_Meyer1 Adam Meyer (@Adam_Meyer1) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus Hi there. Still doesn't work correctly

  • cubes67 Cubes (@cubes67) reported

    @OptusSocial I cannot log into your new paid service via SubHub for existing Optus customers Premier League, it comes up with an error. I have utilised your "Help" service on my Optus log in and they cannot resolve, they close the case and send me to Socials to get it fixed? WTF!

  • estherchinmedia Dr Esther Chin (@estherchinmedia) reported

    @Optus You have again sent me a bill. I have submitted a complaint on Mon and been told I would receive a response in 2 business days. It has been 4 business days and I have not received a response.

  • Kingstons101 🌳Kingston (@Kingstons101) reported

    @kateju9 @MrSquiggleAu I've been with Telstra and Optus and am now with Vodafone. Will be putting her on the same deal as me. $50 less than what she paying now and phone data doesn't run out, just slows down but I can still watch Netflix etc and play on my phone when it slows down. No contract.

  • simmybeats Simmy (@simmybeats) reported

    @Optus @deeyaygz Give us minimum 1080p stream or hand the service back to @kayosports. It’s 2022. Do better.

  • atpterry Terry Townsend (@atpterry) reported

    @TheKennyDevine @Optus as a customer I need to ask……is Kelly on crack?

  • jake_80 Jake (@jake_80) reported

    @Socrate90000750 @friendlyjordies “The telco (Optus) was last week awarded a government contract from rival Telstra to run the inbound calls for Service NSW.” … seems legit🤪

  • SportsnDealies Sports Dave (@SportsnDealies) reported

    Nothing in the world is more inevitable than death, taxes and Optus Sport’s terrible service making you miss goals #OptusSport

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @Melbourne_MUFC2 We're sorry to hear you feel this way, Jon. Where 1080p support is not available, Optus Sport streams are available in up to 720p HD (depending on your device, and the quality of your connection). (1/2)

  • Kingstons101 🌳Kingston (@Kingstons101) reported

    @TheKennyDevine And now Optus have a contract with the NSW government. It never ends.

  • SomePrickIKnow SomePrickIKnow #Titanism (@SomePrickIKnow) reported

    @OptusSport Get rid of the adverts on Optus Sport….it’s a subscription service. If viewers wanted to watch ads they’d watch a free to air channel.

    @sweettea19990 Hi Zee - apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. Can you please confirm if your Optus Sport login is working fine (using the same details) on your mobile and if the issue is just with the TV? Aman 1/3

  • sweettea19990 Zee (@sweettea19990) reported

    @OptusSport HIIIIIIII - my optus sport aint working even though my membership is active, please help

  • ChrisQuelch23 Chris Quelch (@ChrisQuelch23) reported

    @__bethlouise Optus is hard to gauge crowds. As there are so many options to hang apart from your seat. I was surprised when they said 53k

  • QuantumFish777 Marc (@QuantumFish777) reported

    Wow @OptusSport subscription now costing Optus customers, adding ads in to games, and highlights. What a disgusting model and service you are providing.

  • FitFantastic1 Ali Cavill Fit Fantastic (@FitFantastic1) reported

    @Optus The outage is still going. Please advise how you will financially compensate my parents?

  • deeyaygz D (@deeyaygz) reported

    @simmybeats @Optus @kayosports Agreed, majority of people in Australia are watching replays or mini matches due to the time difference. These are riddled with ads and terrible quality, Stan Sport could get everything right in 1 year, Optus are still a dogs breakfast after 6 years

  • Matthewjw1978 Matthew Wilson (@Matthewjw1978) reported

    @SqdLdKashifSyed @Telstra Look I’m with Optus moving over to Telstra Optus customer service ease of use shits all over Telstra but Telstra has the better mobile service Optus is hopeless drops out all over the place in Sydney for Christ sake

  • cammersw Cam (@cammersw) reported

    @OptusSport Even Optus customers now pay for Optus Sport, so why are there still ads? No other paid subscription service has unskippable ads. Disgraceful.

  • SteveRe92554759 Steve Read (@SteveRe92554759) reported

    @strangerous10 She’s corrupt and must go now. I’m moving my OPTUS accounts l can’t support a company that has employed a corrupt LNP hack.

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @sweettea19990 If Optus Sport is part of your Optus billing plan, then you can manage your login as per the instructions below: •Login to Optus SubHub using your My Account details. •After this, you can add Optus Sport to SubHub using your email. Aman 2/3

  • simmybeats Simmy (@simmybeats) reported

    @Optus @ARobert95256658 Just untrue. I don’t know anybody that’s been able to playback in 1080p. I’m also using the native app on a Samsung TV with a hardwired Internet connection. It’s garbage. I can pirate it and have a better experience.

  • BkWhatOCE Bk (@BkWhatOCE) reported

    @Qu1ckdraw_ ****, Optus Sport was worth it if I can watch this in full.

  • Melbourne_MUFC2 Jon (@Melbourne_MUFC2) reported

    @Optus You’ve had the service for years. Why can you not offer HD universally? Why can’t you offer 4K?
