    Optus is so ******* **** holy

  • TIFFINbitesized Tiffin Fiona 🥟🍒🧀🍷 (@TIFFINbitesized) reported

    @SteveMolk Have & pay for Netflix. Have & pay for Optus NBN which gives us Fetch, which means EPL games. Have a 1 year trial of Apple TV. Frigging terrible. Have used it once.

  • hipstergeddon Hipstergeddon (@hipstergeddon) reported

    First guess is some sort of DNS issue at Telstra / Optus / VOCUS /. or a DDOS attack ? or just someone unplugged a ethernet cable somewhere..

  • Palwtff Pal 2 Shiesty (@Palwtff) reported

    Optus is so ******* ****

  • munchbrother munchbrother (@munchbrother) reported

    @BetterHealthGov I understood that NBN set up 2 satellite trucks with wifi and mobile device charging in the area. Telstra and Optus would require power like everyone else to run their service’s.
