    @Optus Hi Aman, I appreciate that but I was told that before when I was promised multiple phone calls that never eventuated. Never mind the FTTN service we are getting drops out constantly and isn’t as reliable as the previous DSL service at my old address.

  • corymedia Cory (@corymedia) reported from Geelong, State of Victoria

    If the .@Optus network wasn’t so bad and .@VodafoneAU wasn’t ridiculously panicked as to whether I can pay (because they made it clear they think I don’t make enough money), I’d be looking for a better network.

    @WhirlpoolFooty @trevorlong Ok so i jumped on the Nvidia Shield (non pro). At first glance it did exactly the same thing as before. Sony Bravia TV definately does have frame rate refresh issues by default. Downloaded a refresh rate app to refresh rate match Optus sport app...and bingo...frame skip gone.

  • CRIPPStoniteSC Lincoln Beggs (@CRIPPStoniteSC) reported from Lara Lake, State of Victoria

    @WhirlpoolFooty @trevorlong @kayosports Yeah I'm looking at other options. Very annoying as my net connection is fine and being Sony their motion handling is top notch. Nvidia Shield certainly looks like a great option. I had trouble with Kayo and now Optus Sport is buggy with its frame rate.

    Optus has to have the most **** signal coverage in the whole world

  • peterke60628957 peter kenny (@peterke60628957) reported

    @JoshButler @BelindaJones68 Then **** ‘em - threaten revoking their telecoms carrier licence. Hit Optus where it hurts.

  • BarbMuin Barb Muin (@BarbMuin) reported

    @LaurenHLoz @Optus I’m so disgusted in the way Optus has handled this. Absolutely zero customer support. My question is how do I terminate my contract with them without having to pay it out ???

  • call_me_tomasso Tom Osborn PhD, FRSA. (@call_me_tomasso) reported

    Cybersecurity fail from both Optus AND Service NSW.

  • BMDD10 Brandon (@BMDD10) reported

    @SarkySage2 Poor Qaren doesn’t know when she’s down. Optus, and today also hanging Australian citizens out to dry.

  • kelseyvh @kelseyvh (@kelseyvh) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Hey @Optus I’m having nbn service issues. Your online messaging service is not responding. You network status page says “under investigation” and has said that for three days. I’ve sent you a DM but no response there either.

  • needs_holiday holiday vibes (@needs_holiday) reported

    @karenandrewsmp Didnt you have legislative power for near a decade to be proactive in this space? Why is optus not caught as a critical service provider

  • Sulphurcocky1 Sulphurcocky (@Sulphurcocky1) reported

    .@Optus I was a past customer, but chruned when you cut the 4G frequencies in my area without notice. I've ditched the DATA Sim and changed my email address How will you notify me if my data was hacked/stolen ? #ausgov #auspol #ausbiz Digital Insanity, Analog Reality !

  • GHellbitches 🅶🅾🆃🅾 🅷🅴🅻🅻🅱🅸🆃🅲🅷🅴🆂 (@GHellbitches) reported

    So @optus and @ServiceNSW are saying that both card and license number need to be breached for there to be an issue. I just signed up to an online finance service and they only require licence number. Think you both need to stop lying to the public.

    @misssarahswan @Optus Hi Sarah if you have the Service NSW app on your phone you can do it online
