    No freezing on any other platform except @kayosports. Reckon they need a few more servers to provide a basic service. Bit like when Optus got the World Cup and everything crashed. #poorvalue.

  • DaithiCon Le Freakshow (@DaithiCon) reported

    @Optus ongoing issue with our internet that hasn’t been resolved in over 6 months. Modem replaced by tech last week, but the issue remains - coverage drops out regularly (every 15-20mins). We’ve spent hours on the My Optus app chatting with support but you still haven’t sorted.

  • PaulXBeck Paul Beck (@PaulXBeck) reported

    @TurnbullMalcolm @TheAusInstitute @auspost Like you subsidised Telstra and Optus with taxpayer money to build an obsolete non-broadbank network?

  • oscarc168 Oscar Cao (@oscarc168) reported

    @Optus Hi, I just got off chat with one of your technical support staff who have informed me that there’s an unplanned outage in my area and that’s why my internet is crippled. There’s no ETA for fix. I feel some compensation is in order.

  • Jessee0923 Jessee (@Jessee0923) reported

    @RunThemMemes @COCAFO2016 Optus was never going for it I believe as they don’t produce content. They just produce pre game shows and take the game content from overseas ie EPL, champions league, Jleague etc

  • kts350 Wayno (@kts350) reported

    @Optus Nah reception is **** in my area all the time pretty bad for in the middle of sydneys western suburbs.

  • actionchange Schulz Capital (@actionchange) reported

    @Optus wtf is going on with your mobile network, in the middle of the city or suburbia different locations side by side with Telstra same webpage takes an extra 30 seconds to open or times out? Even if I swap the sims to other phones. #4G #5G
