  @EdKent77 @Optus So hard to support from a distance, particularly when she’s distressed already.

• Pete Nowakowski (@petenowakowski) reported 4 years ago from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

  @kirstinferguson @Optus My parents and I on Optus network. Mum got the txt, dad and I didn't.

• Ben (@iB3nji) reported 5 years ago from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

  @Telstra_news “Telstra operate the nation’s only 5G network”. I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure @Optus has 5G too.

• John Roach (@cambuslangtrain) reported 5 years ago from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

  @LesStonehouse Faithful to Telstra for 40 years despite our blind loyalty not being reciprocated in quality of service or pricing. Switched to Optus at NBN connection time some years back. Could not be happier with Optus!! Stuff Telstra "and all who ro(r)t in her!!"

• Ben (@iB3nji) reported 5 years ago from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

  @mrdanielfeo @Optus @Telstra Agree, 1.5Mbps is terrible.

• Ben (@iB3nji) reported 5 years ago from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

  @blake_andersson @Telstra @Optus Go Boost Mobile! I’m with them. Same Telstra network, unlimited Apple Music, more data for less. Pre-paid.

  Leader in technology? Here is a list of companies that faced cyber attacks in the last 3 years • Optus • Medibank • MediSecure • Early Settler • Australian Retirement Trust • AustralianSuper • Hostplus • Rest • Insignia Financial • Telstra • National Australia Bank (NAB) • Services NSW • The Australian • ABC • Skeggs Goldstein • Ascot Vale Health Group I struggle to get any reception anywhere in the suburbs. Our NBN service sucks *****. So essentially. You're building homes that only rely on electricity, banning gas.(too busy gifting that resource to other countries) You're putting turbines that don't help the environment and cost way too much to maintain and are not a long-term solution. You're pushing for more solar farms but blanketting the skies with chemicals to block out the sun. You will fry the system. The EV infrastructure can't even handle the demand of vehicles needing a charge. You made a deal with your communist buddies to bring poorly built and copied EVs here, killing any other option or brand to do business in Australia. It is safe to say that you must be the absolute worst prime minister or leader in history.

  To get Starlink Direct to Cell, check if your mobile provider partners with Starlink, like T-Mobile (USA), Rogers (Canada), or Optus (Australia). Visit their website for details. Ensure your phone is satellite-compatible, such as iPhone 13-16 or recent Samsung Galaxy models. Sign up through your provider’s portal; for T-Mobile, it’s free during the beta until July 2025, then $10/month for non-qualifying plans. Verify coverage using your provider’s map. Service currently supports texting, with voice and data planned for later 2025.

  @guidohatzis @freodockers North are cash strap. Its actually not a bad crowd in. Plus its raining. Freo's away game, in the wet at Optus. That's it right there.

• DaMon (@Dm24345643) reported 18 hours ago

  @RJwriteshere @MichaelVaughan As we saw in the recent series between Australia and India the batting was not great. Only at the WACCA when conditions changed day 2. I mean Optus Stadium. I miss the Wacker pitch but the stadium is terrible there to watch cricket. You sit in the sun and get Scorched all day.

• Goran Gorgioski (@Macetrott) reported 18 hours ago

  26-24 ,it must be terrible condition at Optus Stadium,unless they put a roof on it,WA don’t deserve to have teams in the AFL..

• Kurt (@KFlahavin) reported 2 days ago

  @lozza929406 I remembered that night when the Eagles beat the Tigers in that great match at Optus Stadium. I would have never thought that the Eagles long terrible struggles would start after that win in June 2021. Just unbelievable to see how far that the Eagles have fallen since that time.

• Peter Bent (@PeterBent565) reported 2 days ago

  @FOXFOOTY Seen plenty of wet shocking games at SCG, Engie, Gabba, Optus. Where's call for them? Massive hypocrisy from corrupt service

• Anil Upadhyāyā (@anilupd) reported 2 days ago

  Dear @australiapost Why do you sell phaseout 3G phone to elderly people in community? Aren’t you ashamed of it, as Telstra and Optus stopped 3G network a year ago?

• andrew (@acsmith54) reported 2 days ago

  @c0n_AU @Optus I also reported a signal issue. Optus help bricked my phone! I had to move provider.

• andrew (@acsmith54) reported 2 days ago

  @markreedwa @optus_help You'll never get a straight answer from Optus, obfuscating all the time. Change provider.
