    @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 I'm on my third day + of 0.20-0.25 mbps on my NBN at home - lodged an online complaint and tried contacting by online chat. Can someone please get in touch in the am.

  • msmansk Ms Mansk (@msmansk) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    I’m an @Optus customer and they’ve explained reasonably about an outage situation. @Telstra was inconsistent.

    @Optus - my nbn service is horrendous. It just won’t work. Dropouts that go on for hours #useless #nbn

  • lesposen lesposen (@lesposen) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus I’m on phone support currently. The question is about remotely rebooting my modem when away, it drops connection 2xweekly

  • GGL_Drew Andrew Christian (@GGL_Drew) reported from Queanbeyan, State of New South Wales

    Just spoke with family in Tuross Heads. Tuross is unaffected apart from smoke. Connectivity available on the Telstra network (but not optus). Power just turned on at 2am this morning. Water is on and working. #SouthCoastFires #BushfireEmergency #tuross

  • asteroidproject Damian Marley🚀 (@asteroidproject) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus you are just as bad. Tried connecting via you but you cancelled order 4 times, hence trying Telstra again.
