  @Optus gahhh since the switch over with ‘Vivid Wireless’ my Internet has been painfully slow the last two days ... been trying to watch Netflix for 2 hours now and only managed to get 10 seconds out of an episode 😫 I don’t work split shifts 365 days a year not to enjoy my break

  @Telstra What a disgrace that each Telstra customer has to individually apply for compensation for the outages last week. Really shows what you think of your customers. Just provide free data like Optus did you scabs. Pathetic 😡 #telstra #telstraoutage

  I really am angry the LNP rooted the NBN. Now I have to seriously consider Musk’s Starlink for my Internet especially since both Telstra & Optus have & are having issues.

  @james00000001 @Schtang Optus is not the problem! It's individual users and their settings.

  @twensor @FetchStep sadly its totally on form for telstra. remember when a small fire in their chatswood building took out the national SMS network. where i live telstra, nbn, optus and vodafone are all on a 4 hour battery backup, while essential energy schedules regular 8 hour outages.

  @JHewy23 @wigley_matthew @FootyonNine By “this crap” do you mean obvious fact?? So Optus stadium is Freo’s home ground. If they had 4 other sides that use it as their home ground too, but Freo had twice the supporter base of those clubs so can dominate the crowd noise each week and barely leave WA you wouldn’t see that as an enormous advantage over the competition??? Of course it is. That doesn’t mean you’re wrong at all, they have to play the other teams that occupy the MCG as home also. It’s also not any fault of Collingwood to have the biggest supporter base in the land either. Both points can be correct at the same time. But there’s no doubt it’s an enormous advantage every year for Collingwood, Richmond, Melbourne and Hawthorn….

  @theheraldsun Telstra’s outage affected many states but Victoria’s train network was most affected. Why more than other states? State government stuff up. Optus has had outages too so you shouldn’t be fully reliant on these telcos.

  A guy moved into a new apartment. Only “official” internet was FTTN NBN — $90/month for a pathetic 30 Mbps down max. He called Telstra and Optus. Both said “5G Fixed Wireless not available at your address.” He checked a cell tower map anyway. Half a dozen towers within a couple km. Bought a GL.iNet GL-X3000NR 5G router + built a DIY 4x4 MIMO LPDA external antenna. Result? 800 Mbps download / 170 Mbps upload. 25x faster. $75/month. Same building. Here’s exactly how he did it 🧵

  @zanekyal Hey, Nicole. It appears that the screenshot shown captures a partially completed Speed Test for your connection to the Optus Mobile Network, as opposed to the same Wi-Fi connection as your TV. We would recommend connecting your phone to the same Wi-Fi connection and completing this again. Should there be any further concerns after this, please don't hesitate to send us a Direct Message, where we can verify some additional information and assist further. - Dillon
