    Why is optus internet always so god damn trash man 😢

  • sdoc23 Simon (@sdoc23) reported

    @cweaver1983 @sjhross I’ve got an Apple TV and had almost zero streaming issues which is a huge step forward (hello Optus). But the layout was very rudimentary, no split screen options, not a lot of curated content. Certainly very good but hopefully only gets better

    @arnottchris @stuartrobertmp @AlboMP Even homeless while trying to househunt with everything online, applications, enquiries, browsing, on telstra prepaid mobile Internet because optus hspda had terrible signal was only $100 per 100GB I still only spent half that.

    @Aussie_BB I am pretty annoyed at being forced to move onto the Optus mobile network with your SIM cards. Need Telstra coverage for when I travel to Newman for work! #NotHappyJan

  • JaneMAngel Jane Angel 💙💛💙💛 (@JaneMAngel) reported from Westfield, State of Western Australia

    @TitusOReily It was bullshit - no lightning at optus! Down the road maybe but zero at footy!

  • PC808 Peter Cohen (@PC808) reported

    The Government monopoly, NBN Co sells substandard Internet to Telstra, Optus and TPG. The Government organisation, the ACCC then sues the Telco's for selling a substandard Internet service that was sold to them by the Government. Hypocrisy!

    How the hell are scammers able to use other people’s mobile numbers for their robo calls? Surely this is an easy fix for the telcos. Sort your **** out @Telstra @Optus

  • Aussie_BB Aussie Broadband (@Aussie_BB) reported

    @aekmuldoon 2/2We can now also offer better data prices and more flexibility with mid month plan changes. not 100% ideal for all as some areas are better covered with optus or telstra but we made a "better off overall" choice and hopefully the network expands to cover you better soon! -Meg

    @7NewsAustralia Optus call centre is out of Australia, most the time it could take up to 6 hours on the phone to get help, they did fix the line back over a year ago, but it's getting slow again, and we paying much more then we should for the speed we get! maybe I can make a claim!

  • fit4footy Scottie Hamers 🇭🇲🏀🟢🟡 (@fit4footy) reported

    **** I hate @WestCoastEagles supporters with a passion. They get all the help from the umpires and yet still ******* BOO! If only lightning WOULD strike Optus! #AFLEaglesDees
