  @kaine177 Optus oval was built closer to MCG dimensions … that would play a part, but yes if you think back, they didn’t play well in the hubs last year either. It’s a shame … No Gaff doesn’t help … and our weather is shite compared to over there. It’s proper winter footy.

  If the .@Optus network wasn’t so bad and .@VodafoneAU wasn’t ridiculously panicked as to whether I can pay (because they made it clear they think I don’t make enough money), I’d be looking for a better network.

  At least if Leeds get relegated, I can cancel my Optus Sports subscription & watch the Championship on BeIn.

  @Optus Hi Aman, I appreciate that but I was told that before when I was promised multiple phone calls that never eventuated. Never mind the FTTN service we are getting drops out constantly and isn’t as reliable as the previous DSL service at my old address.

  @3AWNeilMitchell scare mongering again on the @Optus data breach. Mitchell needs to be part of the solution and not the problem. Although it’s a nice reprieve from the constant @DanielAndrewsMP bashing.

  If there's one silver lining after the recent Optus and Medibank hacks here in AU, then it's the fact that orgs seem to finally be putting a focus onto their security from the top down. Today I had another great workshop with a new customer to assess their overall #cloudsecurity.

  @Optus Please fix your Pay By Phone service. Three failures so far today. Rang your Enquiries number and got shunted back to Pay By Phone.

  @Telstra @Optus Kingsfield in sunbury 3429, they confirmed a 4g and 5g outage and have no idea know when it will be fixed

  Hutchy reckons Freo is a bigger club than C'wood at the moment. Freo are playing great footy & deserve to be flag favourites. However, even if Optus Stadium had a similar capacity to the MCG, I doubt they would be attracting crowds of 80,000 plus on a regular basis. Financially, the pies are all over them. I would also argue that WCE are the No.1 WA team by a stretch (4 flags, tainted or otherwise) despite 4-5 poor years.

  @Optus @alexblair_1 the app is overwhelmed. It isnt running at high quality and is buffering fix it

  Working in regional NSW today and only @Telstra users could make calls. Optus: no signal. Vodafone: non‑existent. 2026 and we still don’t have a shared rural network? When one telco holds all the coverage, it’s not a choice - it’s a monopoly. #WakeUpAustralia #NannyStateNSW

  @electricfuture5 Good charger. WiFi would help because there’s piss poor Optus coverage making use of the Tesla or Kia apps hard.

  @sidneyfrommelb Whilst Telstra has network issues after your data leaked by Optus. Cooked.

  @Optus I have ported my number to Optus yesterday. Since I have ported in, I am not able to make calls to networks apart from Optus. It’s been two days since I raised the issue but it has not even been resolved. Please help me resolve it asap

  @freopics_ If you can afford it, book flights now that you can get a refund or a credit voucher for as it guarantees more travel in 2027 hehe. But, otherwise it will be great here. Down in Freo or at Optus or with friends.
