  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @WoodLeonie Hi Leonie, Optus along with other communication companies have been working to address issues with increasing amounts of scam, spam and spoof calls. If you'd like me to report these just PM and I'll get the details. Meg

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @jrade76 @heron_andrew @OptusSport Sorry to hear about your Optus Sport app buffering issue on your LG TV, John. Are you facing the same buffering issue on another device like a phone or table? Kartik

  • SophieMcKay Sophie McKay (@SophieMcKay) reported

    @Optus @OptusSport Yes, I’ve done all of the above. I am able to cast YouTube, Netflix etc without a problem, though once I switch to @OptusSport it buffers and disconnects

  • SimonTB4 Simon TB (@SimonTB4) reported

    @Geelonggolfer @TimLaneSport Rob, those two teams have massive support all over Australia. How big would a Dons Hawks crowd be had it been played at Optus? Isn’t there an argument that says the A in AFL means Australia which should include Tassy don’t you think?

  • jrade76 John Smith (@jrade76) reported

    @Optus @heron_andrew @OptusSport Hi there, the issue seems to have resolved itself after turning the TV off at the power point, waiting the obligatory 30 seconds and then switching it on again.

  • JamesyR1 Jamesy (@JamesyR1) reported

    @telstra My dead Dad has never been on our account and trying to get a new service for some reason Telstra listed my Dad as a 3rd party??? Seriously, he had his own service with iPrimus so why is Telstra's client database so messy @Optus please contact me as I want a new service

  • JAKO_NO_C Andrew Jakowenko (@JAKO_NO_C) reported

    @optus what’s wrong with your service now?!

  • serotonin11 Evelyn (@serotonin11) reported

    Not happy @Optus ! Wasted almost 2 hours trying to make a very important phone call but your reception is terrible, keeps cutting out! Thank you for the crappy service and stress.

  • crypto_bitlord7 Crypto ฿itlord (@crypto_bitlord7) reported

    @Optus Don’t lie to me bro it’s not odd it’s by design. I wanted to watch it in bed on laptop and wouldn’t let me log in. Then logged my mobile app off. Once I logged in it would no longer allow me to watch it. You cost me a goal bro how you gonna make fix that

  • digibaus Diana Gibson (@digibaus) reported

    @Optus you have reported an nbn outage in my postcode since Friday . Your chatbot is no help. I want a human to contact me.

  • captainbarndog Cap'n (@captainbarndog) reported

    @NBN_Australia I have already spoken to @Optus, the issue is with NBN infrastructure. It just doesn't seem fair that they should have to pay for @NBN_Australia's failure to provide a service.

  • crypto_bitlord7 Crypto ฿itlord (@crypto_bitlord7) reported

    @Optus You haven’t replied to me DMs. Why would any Australian pay for a service when we can watch it for free with less headache. Your service is an embarrassment to our country #OptusSport

  • craigharnett1 Craig Harnett (@craigharnett1) reported

    @tommorris32 @FOXFOOTY 1 of 2 - Hi Tom….. not sure I have ever anyone raise this but to help even the draw plus promote the game each of the Melbourne based teams should be made to play one “AWAY” “Blockbuster” in either a neutral capital or major regional location. Eg Tigers v Bombers at Optus.

  • Khortish Khortish (@Khortish) reported

    That was simple to cancel my @Optus plan via their Optus App messaging service. I thought I'd have to jump through hoops and say "No" to offers several times, but took 2min and no questions/offers from them. If it weren't for budgeting, I'd stay.

  • fI0wery iris (@fI0wery) reported

    @weafyisnothere yeah i understand that, a lot of people have been telling me that my optus not valid so sorry if i sound a little rude, not my intention :)

  • khalilkayalKK Khalil Kayal (@khalilkayalKK) reported

    @flemo_bill @VinceRugari @beINSPORTS_AUS Yes you're right. $20 a pop is fair bit for the service that's not the quality of Optus but it's an option i will certainly consider.

  • skippywaring MW (@skippywaring) reported

    @munawarmac1 With Optus so get it for free, great if you like soccer but **** all else on there.

  • Heplayedfour ThisOldMan (@Heplayedfour) reported

    @OptusSport Calm down Optus. It's only 3pm on a Sunday. You can only post this stuff after 10pm

  • travski73 travski (@travski73) reported

    @Optus don't trust the network status on optus website. I've been told by optus my internet could be down for a week. I'm at Bald Hills QLD. I guess they don't want the bad publicity.

  • Stoxxie David Lee (@Stoxxie) reported

    @davispg They are piggybacking off it. Telstra, Optus and other networks couldn't afford to build a 5G network from absolute scratch.

  • thebomberboysss cousy (@thebomberboysss) reported

    @Big_T_2 @Optus Yet, still time to whinge about ****, sook.

  • vk3xem Simon Templar (@vk3xem) reported

    Optus lied to me at least 3 times, so I am changing mobile and NBN to Belong. Any trouble from Optus I will contact the TIO.

  • pigeonburger pigeon 🕊 (@pigeonburger) reported

    Will my internet provider @optus unblock port 25 for me so I can run my @pigeonburger.xyz email service again?

  • captainbarndog Cap'n (@captainbarndog) reported

    @Optus @NBN_Australia There's really no point, there is nothing Optus can do that will satisfy me. The ONLY solution I'm willing to accept is full restoration of service, and since the fault is with NBN infrastructure, there is nothing you can do. It would be a waste of my time.

  • tbkAustralia Neil Horneman (@tbkAustralia) reported

    @Optus I have been an Optus customer for over 20 years. I am now a pensioner living from day to day. I can’t afford big plans – I don’t use much data. I have been on a 5GB my MBB Plus plan for 8 years. My service number is 04. My stick modem was working fine until Microsoft turned off

  • WoodLeonie Leonie Wood (@WoodLeonie) reported

    @sallyrugg had five (5) calls today - 2 from 'no caller id', 2 from a disconnected @optus mobile in WA & another from a fixed line in Sydenham - all threatening to cut off my internet within four hours unless I paid up. And the taped opening? An English woman saying "Hello dear customer".
