    @Optus I understand the Smith Lake 4g area is having issues but what I’ve experienced over the past several months is disgraceful. Patchy to zero reception is a regular feature now. When will this be properly fixed?

    @Optus It is really annoying that every weekend I have connection problems, is it possible to have an answer based on this fact and an effective solution please. Thank you

    @Optus Hi, I need to speak to someone about a contract that needs to be voided. Daughter who is on c'link only was signed to a contract of $117 per month over 36 months. Prohibitive and should never have happened. Please advise course of action.

    @Optus I understand that. But this issue has become progressively worse over the past year. I could tether and work and stream etc but for months it’s been unstable and unworkable.

    Getting carved up through the middle. Look slow, missing a key target up forward and continue to butcher chances. Currently feel sick at Optus

  • M00dle Lester Low (@M00dle) reported

    @Optus I'm getting calls from unknown Aus mobile numbers +614xxx. When I pick up, they hang up. Can I share these numbers with you privately?

  • GreigArms Greig (@GreigArms) reported

    @MTAGpodcast @mikeymifsud Do we need to stick to summer for broadcast deals or should we risk it and go it alone in winter and start a streaming service of our own? If we did start a FA streaming service like optus sports, would there be enough demand from subscribing football fans to cover costs?
