    Looks like Telstra's current mobile plans - prepaid and postpaid - have totally killed premium SMS services, so idk Aussie #Eurovision fam I guess there's never been a better time to get some Optus burner SIMs for the weekend?

    @Optus Also not on the app it’s an issue with the service through fetch TV, not sure if that’s another department?

    @Zuckles @Telstra Why would you send it back to them? I have like 7 routers here from Optus because my **** wasn't working right. Not only did I remand a new one each time. I never paid for them either.

    Hi @Optus , my mobile Internet connection is very unstable and bad in my apartment. It has been like this for months. It’s really frustrating…… :/

  • tomsoneddy Tom Schuch (@tomsoneddy) reported

    Hey @Optus I wish you'd make sure your internet service was to an acceptable quality in Chevron Island on the Gold Coast. This stop start I'm getting whilst streaming is absolute ****!

    @Optus internet hasn’t lasted for more then 10 minutes after every restart of my modem for the last week, Optus app says reduced service but doesnt say why, haven’t had a problem like this until now, 4-5g works fine on phone data so just wondering what the problem is
