  @LesStonehouse @Optus There is, I think I remember correctly, a period of up to 48 hours where a new service replicates across a WAN (wide area network).

  @toninicho I am now, seriously, thinking of changing my carrier after years of being with Optus Problem is Telstra cost me a first full money last time I was with them and I dropped Vodaphone over their poor customer service.

  @Optus NOT happy about the $% increase to my wirelss internet. It is only barely acceptable in terms of speed and reliability, the fuss about replacing a defective USB cable etc. Improve service then raise prices! NOT HAPPY!

  As we speak, @Optus, @VodafoneAU, and @Aussie_BB are all down, with no signs of news as to why all 3 are all down at once. I’m calling it - there’s been a massive hack of some sort. #australia #geelong #internet

  Optus offered me Mydata 5gb, they explain to you... bargain price, and there is unlimited I been a customer since they've began in Brisbane, and I used Optus since then. Even phoned and explained to name it Optus. because of the page, they needed a business name asking submit.

  @OMGTheMess The problem is, if the Libs got in whilst that program was being rolled out: today's batteries would be replaced with traditional car batteries, older inverters would be used, they pull ye ol optus cable and repurpose it for electrical wiring. Solar replaced with wind etc...

  @AlboMP I paid Optus ~$40 every month for a full year, and now I couldn’t able to cancel my SIM service. It’s incredibly frustrating and unnecessarily difficult. Services should make it easy to cancel if you’re not happy with them - not trap customers like this. Optus, sort this out! 💸😤

  @MattBobBrad1 That was on the weekend tho. First game here we had 45,000 at Optus. That was on the weekend. There’s probably 16 maybe 17,000. That’s not to bad. Game should have been tomorrow or Sunday. Oh well. Most important thing is get a result
