    @Optus 5 days without internet. Please update an ETA. This outage has hampered work a lot.

    to covid. And this isn’t the first time I’ve had to do so in trying to deal with Optus incompetence in the last 4 weeks or so. It’s absolutely pathetic. If Optus is going to offer nbn service it should also offer technicians on Sundays to fix issues. Not good enough.

    @Optus hello, I received spam email this week claiming to be Optus & confirming that I had increased my laptop data usage with Optus. I never increased my data usage. Can you now confirm with me that my laptop/mobile plan hasn’t been changed? Thanks.

    Apparently Optus has an issue with valorant, turns out I’ve been playing on 10-20% packetloss the past few days. I was genuinely just accepting I was **** and everyone was better than me

  • CJ23588 Caedan James (@CJ23588) reported

    @Optus @michaelpearson2 I'm experiencing the same issue

  • b03hmy B03hmy (@b03hmy) reported

    Oh gee nevermind just a random 5 minute downtime. Amazing service Optus please never change

  • JatinderManga11 JatinderMangat (@JatinderManga11) reported

    @Optus I’m frustrated after 20 days of interrupted/unavailable service. I was tilde there is another major upgrade planned for next 15 days. #optusPoorService #CustomerExperience #FrustratedOptus

    @DragonsWCEagles @Richmond_TT Not as bad as being a West Coast supporter in Auckland watching good sides playing Optus in September!

  • HannahArtefacts Hannah Clayton Atkin (@HannahArtefacts) reported

    @whophd @OptusSport It's only when casting, and only when casting from the Optus Sport app. No problems with any other streaming service, even if streaming live broadcasting. It's certainly a puzzler.

    @Cyclify Yup, and unfortunately I’m probably going to be forced to give my business to the dreaded Telstra, because Optus confirmed that my reception is poor in this apartment, and that I haven’t got the option to get ADSL or NBN, because it’s already maxed out in my building. Huh?👀🤨😑
