    @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.

    @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.

    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.

    @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.

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

  • averagealexis95 Average Alexis ⁷💜 (@averagealexis95) reported

    —long and VERY frustrating messaging conversation via the @Optus app I was getting nowhere and having to explain the situation over and over again. So I dmed @Optus via Twitter and Facebook and finally managed to get the issue resolved almost immediately. One problem solved—

  • LeighroyH Leroy Brown (@LeighroyH) reported

    @Optus I’m an existing customer and you just sent me an email with a plan “recommended for you” that is costs more and includes less data. Please explain??

  • CaffeAficionada CaffèAficionada☕ (@CaffeAficionada) reported

    @Optus many of us don't have the option to roll over our data, so, why can't YOU automatically donate customer's unused data instead of very few individuals doing so? So much obviously goes to waste 😕

  • Badger_tbg Badger 🦡 (@Badger_tbg) reported

    hey @Telstra how ******** can i run a business when you have disconnected my phone?? nothing overdue no reason.. @optus do you guys want a business account? I'm sick of this **** #customerservice #terribleservice #business

  • fubarhouse Karl 💉💉 (@fubarhouse) reported

    I decided to get a device via Optus recently to find out how their customer experience is... And something as rudimentary as changing payment details - or even paying - is literally a headache...

  • Grimjobxox Grim (@Grimjobxox) reported

    @Mattox_81 @xDOCTAx Ahhh already running a bridged modem into a router, cool. Wouldn't be surprised if that optus Sagemcom is holding the speeds back, a quick temp fix is to do a factory reset on both your modem and router as long as you have your PPPoE password from your ISP since they use logins.

  • Bell1Nic Nic M Bell (@Bell1Nic) reported

    @Optus fix my internet

  • MitchSully Mitch Sullivan (@MitchSully) reported

    @Optus guys your 5G service is dropping out every few minutes at Charlestown nsw.

  • consult_a_crim Consult a Criminal (@consult_a_crim) reported

    @Optus KML when Kevin rang, about my complaint he had no idea what my complaint was about yet said he did, tried to sell me same package as I complained about, hung up on me and sent SMS & email he had resolved my issue? How can I get copy of phone call? @TelcoOmbudsman

  • minrdi Richard Bailey (@minrdi) reported

    .@Optus OMG shocking 5G WiFi connectivity all week. Speeds have slowed to a crawl and constant drop-outs. Apparent fault / maintenance is taking ages to fix - what gives?
