    @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.

    @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.

  • 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.

    Optus has to have the most **** signal coverage in the whole world

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

    @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.

    @AjaanMark FYI: Optus / Vodafone share the same mobile network.

  • fuckmoneyz corey (@fuckmoneyz) reported

    i hate optus sm literally the worst internet i’ve ever had

  • RogueEdukator Ben Hornsey (@RogueEdukator) reported

    Dear Optus, Please stop sending me messages which begin with "Good News" and then tell me my internet will be garbage for a fortnight. If you actually cared, you would discount me when you fail to provide the service I pay you for. #optus

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @StupidistGit Have you tried via another network like cellular? Did you get a chance to raise a fault case via the Optus app itself? Kartik

  • lilli_hitcher anemic era (@lilli_hitcher) reported

    love that vodafone are just sending out the most petty emails rn. oh yeah heard about the optus leak? that would never happen at vodafone…

  • PeterOB24979769 Peter OBrien (@PeterOB24979769) reported

    These ‘data breaches’ at Optus and now MyDeal will continue. It’s not so much lax security within the companies. The problem is the internet itself. It cannot be secured. But humanity is obsessed with computers and whatnot so it’ll keep happening.

  • Fitzgeezy20 Liam (@Fitzgeezy20) reported

    So are @Optus just ignoring every single problem they have these days & hoping it goes away, or is it just me?

  • yaboiandro Knight OwL 🦉 (@yaboiandro) reported

    Time to cancel my phone and internet service was @Optus #UselessLies

  • Blynkfnm blynk (@Blynkfnm) reported

    @pagan_ob @Eshzfn how much is it bc my optus internet sucks

  • LusciousLani Ms Banani (@LusciousLani) reported

    Which telecommunications company wants to sell me a business contract today? I’ve been with @Optus for about 15 years but due to the consistent poor service & dishonesty & active ableism from their company, I’m looking at other options. Pitch me your best deals.
