    @LesStonehouse @Optus There is, I think I remember correctly, a period of up to 48 hours where a new service replicates across a WAN (wide area network).

    @JohnCoo51013646 @call_me_tomasso @Leinster_Lad @lesleygood1 @Optus Ah yes, I well remember Telecom and the Post Office, both focused on the customer and delivering quality service.

    Okay who is coming with me to the WBBL final in full cosplay because it's the same day as kaicon? It's at Optus at 4pm and I need to go to support Women

  • Ryaniqgod Ryaniq (@Ryaniqgod) reported

    @tuttiau if ur with optus i think we got same problem

  • PaulMoody_au Paul Moody (@PaulMoody_au) reported

    @Optus is just the worst NBN provider. It has taken 5 days and almost 2 hours on hold to cancel my service with them. You really get to see the true side of a service provider when you leave them. Optus is crap.

    @SteveMolk Casting devices struggle and apps for TV’s have been difficult. But my user experience has been okay. Fans seem to forget the issues that plagued Optus sport during the World Cup. Now THAT was disastrous. But now winning awards for streaming app and retaining the EPL rights

  • Spoogatti Spoo (@Spoogatti) reported

    @Optus @KingXRay Well you'd be wrong. 🤥 I have friends telling me they can't load the game or website at all on an Optus network but literally everything else works.

  • FtblShirtsAus Football Shirt Finds Australia (@FtblShirtsAus) reported

    @MelbourneBlokee @Shazzaroooie @ParamountPlusAU Give it time to iron out the issues. It’s not great but Optus had the same headaches.

  • WorsleyBrothers Hybrid Tom (@WorsleyBrothers) reported

    @radiusfn Bro optus is so bad. GG my man

  • StephenCarlyon Stephen Carlyon (@StephenCarlyon) reported

    @steveburgess23 @GuidoTresoldi @ParamountPlusAU Yeah I find the picture sharp as long as nothing fast is happening. Once a ball is kicked at pace it judders and ghosts like Steve says. I run Optus as well and don’t have the same issue so it’s not my net.
