Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Geelong and nearby locations:

  • 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.

    @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.

  • cmalietoabrown Christian Malietoa-Brown (@cmalietoabrown) reported from Geelong, State of Victoria

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

  • monicasmeow Monicasmeow🐈 (@monicasmeow) reported from Geelong, State of Victoria

    @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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    @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.

  • camo2572 💧Darren Camilleri (@camo2572) reported from Geelong, State of Victoria

    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

  • SilkyHeineken Logic Lives (@SilkyHeineken) reported

    @OptusStadium Absolutely woeful communication from Optus Premium Sales. Whats the point of registering online AND NOT GETTING ANY UPDATES WHAT SO EVER? Not even a courtesy email saying that all the Premium Tickets were sold?? Nothing but crickets & tumbleweeds. Piss poor. EAD Optus

  • AnAverageJay Jay (@AnAverageJay) reported

    @Mattys123 @Billands123 Gonna have to favor Chelsea here over the Grand Final. Will keep track of the score tho. Sucks I don't have Optus Sport tho

  • Alpaca_Capital Alpaca Capital (@Alpaca_Capital) reported

    @7amahanti @OwenRask Is the Optus 5G service in your location?

  • PuttyMcK Fiona (@PuttyMcK) reported

    Worst tattoos on anyone I've ever seen on Optus Oval right now.

  • GraemeEtt Graeme Ettinger ↕️ (@GraemeEtt) reported

    @johnsy123aus I flicked the NBN earlier this year. Went to Optus 5G wireless. No more outrages, no more waiting weeks to have a problem fixed.

  • Kutiel_ K u t i e l 💉💉 (@Kutiel_) reported

    @kimbo_jayne Oh and Optus’s 4G network tower was damaged in Coburg too. As I mentioned it was interesting times.

  • chdjyumcha Yum Cha (@chdjyumcha) reported

    Nothing like a new iPhone to make you realise how bad @Optus is. Their first option is to send a QR code - via post - for an eSim… via post. Otherwise you can spend 45+ mins, 3 transfers, for an eSim that doesn’t download, then they offer to call you back later from a 4th person

  • livwhite19 Olivia White (@livwhite19) reported

    @Optus any news on when you or NBN is going to fix the internet issues being experienced for the last 3 hours or so in Glebe NSW?

  • mattlongtweets Matt Long (@mattlongtweets) reported

    Hi @Optus , I cannot log into my optus sport account and the reset password function doesn't seem to be working. I'm not in Australia currently if that makes a difference, can you help me?

  • TheRealJon3sy Jonesy (@TheRealJon3sy) reported

    @OptusSport ******* Optus trying to sturr ****. Will unfollow you if you keep this up
