Suey (@sueytweets) reported@Candour100 @blu_boys @Optus I can confirm this is great! I use it for personal & work I only pay $300 a year upfront per plan so it works out at $25 a month & I never run out of data or calls

Optus (@Optus) reported@iisancs Hi Isan, we're sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with your internet connection in spite of paying your monthly Optus bill. Please send us a DM with your full service address and your internet type, so we can take a look and investigate further. -Enku

MorgoSmisho (@morgosmisho) reported@Optus ordered a phone upgrade and eSIM. Got the email saying the order number would arrive next. But nothing. Told the order wasn’t processed ‘yet’. Had this before. They say order again and you end up with 2 accounts. When you cancel one, it incurs fees and a debt agency. Scam.

GibberishCapital (@GibberCapital) reported@ellensandell The data centres are built by Australian companies you utter imbecile. Do you have problem with data centres built by Goodman? NextDC? Used by Telstra? Optus? Vodafone? How are you such a ******* simpleton?
-
Peter Lewis (@Peter_Lewis747) reported@Sueberry2 @blu_boys @Optus Not full Telstra network, limited Telstra network access. Only Boost has full Telstra network access.

Aberrant Gentile (@AberrantGentile) reported@nemagovau If i receive the alert on the phones i had to replace because they couldn't call one number on one network that i don't use, "000" on Voda network. Then i want those phones imei numbers reinstated on the Telstra & Optus, that i have sims for. The public/private partnership scam
-
Mark Symons (@SymonsYahoo) reported@ronInBendigo A clear sign that corporate management wishes to frustrate and alienate customers. No just due to the decision but principally due to the inevitable decline e to disastrous levels of customer service and systems reliability. The much reviled Optus is a case in point: dreadful customer service and numerous life-threatening outages as a result inadequate staff processes and failed procedures. I would love to see the risk assessments carried out by both companies, in relation to both real and reputation risk.

Jay C 🟣⚓⚪ (@lolgasem) reported@JordanTHFCFFC Optus stadium is so **** to get to/from
-
J Labs (@jnj_pro) reported@Optus The advise didn't help. Can @Optus explain why already logged in users still need to do identify verification form as well as verification code. What security concerns the process actually addresses? Compared with putting unnecessary burden and waste time for users.
-
Kristen Holden (@kholden) reported@LeeshieV @Optus And instead of celebrating not getting this garbage you let them know?
-
Warge (@Warge6) reported@AdityaS41869751 @randomcricstat Heads batting at the Optus to England off the back foot mainly But yes these drop in pitches on multi sport grounds are awful they break up and crack so easily or you leave enough grass on the top and it’s like your playing on a minefield
-
Jackson (@jackson31619) reportedTrains down in perth so people have to walk? My two times in optus and going to perth thats ridiculous. Having a stadium you can only access by public transport...surely you'd make sure the ******* trains are working #AFLFreoCrows
-
Dean Hawkes (@hawkeyemanagem1) reported@Theblackfemini3 Not a thing here? didnt get any alert Maybe optus network dont get?? Helpfull🤡show
-
J Labs (@jnj_pro) reported@Optus And the session time-out keeps interrupting me when I'm talking to a customer support, I have to log in again after a while. Why is that? Can the product manager explain? The overall experience with Optus apps (Web and mobile) is painful, and a simple request would take days.
-
Amicus Curiae (@AmicusCuri99068) reported@optus_help nah i dont have a problem YET..well the nets been ongoing for ages but ive been TO a 200km round trip optus shop and their only answer is? pay a huge amount for a NON portable chunky wifi setup. because your tower is ...maybe too close to my home ... to get decent service (facepalm)
-
The West Coast Beagle (@WCEBeagle) reported@AJG_87 @MiguelS92940618 This is where I’m at. Looking at yesterday alone we had the personnel on park to beat Richmond. Can blame poor kicking but it was the same against Port & North at Optus. We have gone backwards post bye If we have the personnel then for me it’s the coaching staff that are failing
-
Optus (@Optus) reported@saline Hi Samela, so that we are on the same page, you have an Optus service and your service is getting cut off at night, especially when you call your colleague Brenda? If you are an Optus customer having issues with your service then please send us a direct message with more details of the fault so that we can assist you further - Kartik

Eagles. Stats and random. (@EaglestatsNW) reported@WestCoastEagles so Milan derby at Optus. In what part of the oval are they going to situate the rather tiny pitch? And are they erecting seating on a surface that's already having problems?
-
Brendan Kelly (@brendan_kelly9) reported@nicko_316 Thats bad news for Brizvegas if you’re right. Freo will be favourites in that match up at Optus.

Khalil Kayal (@khalilkayalKK) reported@ozman024 Even during Ange's 2 seasons of Spurs I used a friend's Optus login.
