    @Optus Is there an internet outage in Chester Hill?

  • Hirald0 Shane Henry (@Hirald0) reported

    @Optus Tried both, tried a different browser, still the same problem. No problems with other full match replays except this one. Seems like the video itself needs to be reuploaded.

    @Jachael123 @iamnickdubs Internet connection. Just looked it up. I was on a bus/at my uni campus, wifi is crap; also was using 4G and Optus is kinda, y’know...

  • LUFC_20 Jase (@LUFC_20) reported

    Any other optus users having issues sending messages? Having error messages bouncing back saying it can't be delivered? #Optus #Vodafone

  • craigmemery Craig Memery (@craigmemery) reported

    @engagedpractx @Optus Have you checked with neighbours that Telstra doesn't drop out in the same area? Telstra 5G is pretty good in my experience. Also I've always found Telstra customer service to be a breeze.

  • Benjistrange Benji Strange (@Benjistrange) reported

    @kelvinrsmith @Telstra Just got to Aus and got a virtual SIM card from @Optus - took 5 minutes and the call operator gave me his direct line if there was any issues

  • bleu_margot Margot Bleu (@bleu_margot) reported

    @madigoldsmith Optus is rubbish atm. Very poor reception.

  • andrewwhiteau A n d r e w (@andrewwhiteau) reported

    @engagedpractx @Optus Pros: Fast, and reliable. Cons: Customer service is terrible. I couldn't access billing info for 4 months. Quit them and rejoined just so I could get a new account that worked when accessing info. New SIM only plans from them website are much better value than even a year ago.
