  • Granville4879 💉💉💉 Granville in FNQ 😷 (@Granville4879) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    @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.

  • Davidgt84 David Thompson (@Davidgt84) reported

    Optus Sport presenter “the crowd seemed to die down after a bit” - probably just the buffering on your ****** stream

  • StStrummertime Senor Cosgrove (@StStrummertime) reported

    @mrcjohnston @tobiasbusch @Optus Easy fix . Take a decent Vpn and watch on both bbc and ITV iPlayers . Better pundits pre/post .

  • drdjmilly Dave Jones (@drdjmilly) reported

    @Optus Thanks for trying Casey. Please see my other reply. Unfortunately, as you're not personally able to invest 10's of $millions in @OptusSport infrastructure, there is absolutely nothing you can do that will help with the #3rdworldoptus service your company provides.

  • GavN_ Stretching jumpers for the love of Richmond (@GavN_) reported

    @simmo_melb89 It definitely seems to be an afterthought. Optus require you to install their Satellite product if I recall. Stan bet on using Sky Racing, but that flimsy. Safe bet most venues have a Smart TV, we have a national broadband network. Seems logical to me.

  • Bobloblaw045 Shav (@Bobloblaw045) reported

    @Optus Streaming on a Web browser. I've restarted the stream many times, yet still the same issue where after 10 seconds of play it buffers for 30 seconds

  • Melburnian Moss 👊😎 (@Melburnian) reported

    Anyone else always have issues casting Optus Sport?

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @corsar_harry Hi there Harry. Are you still experiencing issues? If so, please try restarting your stream or Optus Sport app and see if that helps. For further assistance, please send us a screenshot of the error you're getting via DM - Nard
