  • awholelotofgeek a whole lot of geek 💜 (@awholelotofgeek) reported

    @Optus when we moved into the new house the power cord that goes into the nbn and power socket is missing! Now I read on the NBN site our service provider is supposed to replace things like that free of charge. So how does on go about getting a replacement for it?

  • shayne_chester ☪️ Shayne Chester بلال محمد الحاج (@shayne_chester) reported

    @D_Melissa2 I spent a long time onto Optus this arvo b/c I had no connection. They couldn't find a problem and said, "it's strange." Having to work from home with no www seems par for the course.

  • jsstwright Jackson SST Wright 🇦🇺 🌏 🌟🌌❤️ (@jsstwright) reported

    @riellefps I couldn't tell if it was an Optus problem or just Apex D:

  • Lucid_Richard Richard (@Lucid_Richard) reported

    @Optus haven’t been able to use the internet or phone since 11am in Bahrs Scrub, 4207, tried calling support and no one knows what’s going on, the most I’ve heard was “we are having outraged” Any news?

  • SliccMick Michael With Two Y’s (@SliccMick) reported

    @GoMootyPro @Optus Yeah and when I called to see what I can do about it, they legit pretended to lose connection and hung up on me 3 times I’ve never been so angry

  • jimcaro Jim Caro, PhD (@jimcaro) reported

    @Optus you used to have a very well staffed online customer support service. I can’t get hold of one and if I do get a response, that’s after more than two hours waiting. Still can’t adjust to our new normal?

  • idrewthis Bully (@idrewthis) reported

    Signal is better with Optus but switching back to ITV for the half-time ads. #ENGDEN #ENG #ComingHome

  • blueskydream80 Dani (@blueskydream80) reported

    @conniecoburg @xskinn Yep! I had to go to the Optus store at a local shopping centre to replace a broken phone this week (no other option) and was shocked to find EB Games, a camera store, Adairs, book shops etc... all open as "essential services"......

  • GoMootyPro Mooty loves his friends No 🧢 (@GoMootyPro) reported

    @SliccMick @Optus Surely it's been 12 months already? Ay I ain't ever really had an issue hey haha. That's sucky

  • SliccMick Michael With Two Y’s (@SliccMick) reported

    @GoMootyPro @Optus Ages, cause I got locked in with that HN deal Everyone on @Optus has been having issues, seems their way to solve it is to hang up on you

  • desmond_last DESMOND LAST (@desmond_last) reported

    @Optus No Optus - it is the same every time - you are not able to fix it. I want my money back for all the time that the system has not been working. Why should I be charged for a faulty system? This phone and system have not been right since the first day of my contract.

  • katie19_06 Kate Hodges (@katie19_06) reported

    @Optus I've DM'd you twice today about activating a prepaid Sim card for work - system appears to be down since yesterday?? Can someone please reply??

  • prwsydney Paul Wilson (@prwsydney) reported

    Come on England not sure I’ll last until kickoff with these horrible pricks on Optus sport

  • GoMootyPro Mooty loves his friends No 🧢 (@GoMootyPro) reported

    @Optus NBN is down again... #Optus

  • serious14 James Walker (@serious14) reported

    The absolute ******* worst thing about modern football coverage is this incessant need to talk over the pre-match atmosphere. Spoilers for you pundits... no-one cares about your inane, cliched observations. Let the crowd do your jobs. Yes Optus Sport, this means you. #Euro2020

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @desmond_last Hi Desmond, I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you're having with your device. If you are having issues with calls cutting out we can take a look into that service from our end. Please send through a DM, our team will check that out and the Optus Sport issue. Rob

  • alewifebycIairo jyoti (@alewifebycIairo) reported

    optus sports switch up wtf my stream is so choppy dieeeeeee

  • grahambowtie Graham Yates (@grahambowtie) reported

    @Optus terrible mobile coverage in Five dock it bounces up and down so no possible calls can happen

  • drserenalove Dr Serena Love (@drserenalove) reported

    @BobCollins @BarrowcliffeR I was on Optus, which is a "city plan" because it has such poor reception in remote locations. But let's be honest, I'm not really a city girl ;)

  • ShameemaNAM meema (@ShameemaNAM) reported

    @Optus That's not good enough at all! I have paid for a sim that doesn't work due to a known issue to you(5 days) then why is it being sold at all!!!

  • lyng62 Lyn (@lyng62) reported

    @MasterSharky @UpUpNulla @Optus Obviously their solution to him being charged for my calls was to cut off the phone

  • davidwildgoose David Wildgoose (@davidwildgoose) reported

    And I'm glad the Optus stream waited until after the game was over to **** itself.
