    @Optus lol sure “as soon as possible” “3-5 working day pick one? I’m filing a TIO complaint today either way so it doesn’t matter for you guys I suppose.

  • bond_spread BondSpread (@bond_spread) reported

    So our Yr 12 kids will be doing their Trials online from home from this week. @Optus @NBN_Australia have planned NBN maintenance works during this time. It will cause outages and disruption to exams. Apparently nothing Optus can do. Great planning and support. @NSWEducation

    @MichaelFenech1 i have been having the same problem with optus for months. i used to have full coverage in my local area, now i get 1 bar if im lucky, no idea if they are reducing the power of the towers or are simply decommisioning towers without informing us ?

  • StepUpComputing Step (@StepUpComputing) reported

    @Reynardo_red @Optus Confirmed the same issue here Optus to Hotmail or outlook not working.

  • chappellidotcom Ash Chappell (@chappellidotcom) reported

    @tommorris32 @FOXFOOTY Tom, why don’t the AFL just commit to the Grand Final in Melbourne with only fully vaccinated MCC & Club members eligible? At a whiff of a case, McGowan may lock down Perth, and have no crowds at Optus anyway.

    @VapiFM @Optus The last 8 days now just before midnight I start getting upto 50% packet loss which makes gaming online unplayable. It's fine beforehand and then seems fine again in the morning. YouTube works but is constantly loading then fine for a minute then loading. This is terrible Optus

  • Reynardo_red Reynardo the Fox (@Reynardo_red) reported

    @Optus @StepUpComputing Thanks heaps, StepUpComputing. I think that with the variety of people having the same problem, @optus needs to open a Mail Server Issue and talk with Microsoft, because it's really not my job, as a customer, to be the negotiator for a company-wide issue.

  • bond_spread BondSpread (@bond_spread) reported

    @Optus The date and time given is right on when they have their exam. When there is an outage, it will disconnect the webcam and to the website they access the exam. This could happen in the middle of an exam.

  • whisperfist C. Aleph (@whisperfist) reported

    Maybe it's an every-Wednesday issue. Again 'No Service' and nothing reported on Optus network status page. Yes, mobile has been off-on-ed.

  • SoxAndStocks Ross Sterland (@SoxAndStocks) reported

    @AvidCommentator That’s frustrating. We had lots of issues with Optus and Telstra who blamed it all on the infrastructure but once we got Aussie Broadband it all went away. We also went from an inconsistent 90Mb download speed to a consistent 450Mb.
