    @RegulusEridani @Optus @Optus Fix this or I'm switching provider. Straight up this is ridiculous.

  • nathanoldfield6 Nathan Oldfield (@nathanoldfield6) reported

    @Optus my wireless home broadband has not been working since last night and very poor few days before that. Anything going on around 4521?

  • buschmann_josh Josh Buschmann (@buschmann_josh) reported

    @MK64966665 @Optus Agreed, no need for the threats. But the issue happens every couple of months with optus. Last time it was online connection issues and super high latency via Optus which made the game unplayable for weeks, so I cancelled sub. They also like to tell customers it's their fault.

  • Redandblack91 Bek 🔴⚫️ (@Redandblack91) reported

    Is there an optus outage for phones atm? Internet is fine, can’t call.

  • Modradormi Prae (@Modradormi) reported

    @Optus When are you guys gonna fix the issues people are having with connecting to @SquareEnix 's login and authentication servers? I've only really seen Optus people with this issue and Endwalker is about to release so I'd like it to be fixed very soon.

  • DrRebeccaO Dr Rebecca Oyomopito (PhD) (@DrRebeccaO) reported

    @Optus NO @Optus 😡@TelcoOmbudsman >6mths testing >10hrs from me OPTUS says 2/2 friends with OPTUS mobiles have message bank set up incorrectly despite them getting messages from EVERYONE else-including international 🤔 I found problem as friends switched to OPTUS-my setup never worked

  • razaaonline Ali Raza (@razaaonline) reported

    @Optus I am at 3978. I don’t have network coverage since this morning. Could you please fix or explain what is going on? Thanks

  • Brendinsnote Brendin Lacco (@Brendinsnote) reported

    @Optus Good now. A idea is Optus app have a news from your Optus system. I know Optus app have network news but not system news like the automatically payment no work or Optus system is updated system in next day with time?

  • RaceFor2030 RACE for 2030 (@RaceFor2030) reported

    @Optus have the planned nbn works overrun in Chippendale 2008? I have no network connection.

  • kaze_yousei Kaze (@kaze_yousei) reported

    @Optus @caraxian I am also experiencing issues, which is a shame, since I was thinking about resubbing soon to catch up on MSQ before Endwalker drops
