    @WhirlpoolFooty @trevorlong @kayosports Yeah I'm looking at other options. Very annoying as my net connection is fine and being Sony their motion handling is top notch. Nvidia Shield certainly looks like a great option. I had trouble with Kayo and now Optus Sport is buggy with its frame rate.

  • CRIPPStoniteSC Lincoln Beggs (@CRIPPStoniteSC) reported from Lara Lake, State of Victoria

    @WhirlpoolFooty @trevorlong Ok so i jumped on the Nvidia Shield (non pro). At first glance it did exactly the same thing as before. Sony Bravia TV definately does have frame rate refresh issues by default. Downloaded a refresh rate app to refresh rate match Optus sport app...and bingo...frame skip gone.

    @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.

    @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.

    love @gilly381 but for Gilly to jump up and down and say MCG shouldnt have a guaranteed Boxing Day test in favour for his Optus Stadium in Perth yeah um Gilly half of all Kiwis live in WA for the mining jobs and yet you cant even fill up a day 1 1st test in a ANZAC clash #AUSvNZ

  • corymedia Cory (@corymedia) reported from Geelong, State of Victoria

    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.

  • DaWoggly Anna (@DaWoggly) reported

    @Optus I have to tell you that after a month of constant, on again off again interruptions to my phone service for upgrades in the area, I am over it. Sick of getting Texts hours after they are sent... Sort it out already, stop inconveniencing everybody...

  • desmond_last DESMOND LAST (@desmond_last) reported

    @ScottMorrisonMP Why is Optus permitted to provide a 3G sub-standard service in Suffolk Park NSW. It makes COVID sign difficult or impossible. Optus are becoming a ‘not fit for purpose’ organisation.

  • servicereview13 Sharzi (@servicereview13) reported

    iiNet. Day 17 of no internet service. Busy day at work, code of conduct changes are keeping me busy, so are phone calls and emails from random iiNet staff who are telling me I should go to Optus @optus for a solution until nbn will fix at the end of the month

  • HanBarry93 Hannah (@HanBarry93) reported

    An @Optus outage has brought Broome court to its knees. The District Court is unable to record, patch into prisons and video link to lawyers. Why anyone relies on Optus up here is still an utter mystery.

  • DeanCal Dean O'Callaghan (@DeanCal) reported

    @Optus All my other apps are streaming in 1080p quality with no issues. I'll try uninstall

  • desmond_last DESMOND LAST (@desmond_last) reported

    @Singtel Why is Optus only providing 3G in Northern NSW Suffolk Park? I have complained to Optus today with little in the way of resolution. Telstra is fine. Get your act into gear Optus.

  • Stephen76 Stephen SeventySix (@Stephen76) reported

    @Optus Have before, was told that it wasn't a priority, and will improve as the 5G network is rolled out. So, indefinite time frame. But, the new maitland hospital will be using the same towers, causing the same issues.

  • Crackers_14 Crackers Carter (@Crackers_14) reported

    @Stephen76 @Optus Telstra no better in Tarro. So glad the NBN was dumbed down to fibre to the node

  • kim_testa Kim Testa (@kim_testa) reported

    @Optus Such a poor experience using this Company for my mobile service. Or should I say lack of service. They are still sending me bills and deducting money from a direct debit I set up and have locked me out of my Account so I cannot turn this off...

  • CliveAckers Clive Ackerman (@CliveAckers) reported

    WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER, THANKS @Optus
