  • cambuslangtrain John Roach (@cambuslangtrain) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @LesStonehouse Faithful to Telstra for 40 years despite our blind loyalty not being reciprocated in quality of service or pricing. Switched to Optus at NBN connection time some years back. Could not be happier with Optus!! Stuff Telstra "and all who ro(r)t in her!!"

  • roseannebyrne 💧🌱pragmaticleftie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪💔 (@roseannebyrne) reported from Kiama, State of New South Wales

    @LesStonehouse @Telstra @Optus Oh He's. It does seem older folk were totally neglected in all of this. No NBN no phone. Cutoffs before they were ready. Expectations they'd understand it all. Neighbour is nearly 90 and it's been awful trying to keep him connected. All on his own.

  • iB3nji Ben (@iB3nji) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra_news “Telstra operate the nation’s only 5G network”. I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure @Optus has 5G too.

  • iB3nji Ben (@iB3nji) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @blake_andersson @Telstra @Optus Go Boost Mobile! I’m with them. Same Telstra network, unlimited Apple Music, more data for less. Pre-paid.

  • Thought_Patrol Thought Patrol (@Thought_Patrol) reported from Kiama, State of New South Wales

    Normal service resumed thanks @Optus

    hotspotting off @VodafoneAU because @Optus can't manage a network, nor manage their relationship with @NBN_Australia

  • saridakis_john John Saridakis (@saridakis_john) reported

    @hely_emily @Optus Absolutely disgraceful and it’s been a regular issue too!

  • PLaloukiotis Petros Laloukiotis (@PLaloukiotis) reported

    @Optus @sydneymardigras Any update on fixing your service? Slow as internet, no mobile data. Unacceptable and pathetic

  • franic_lidija Lidija Franic (@franic_lidija) reported

    @Optus hi, I’m trying to recharge and it won’t let me, it says there is a problem. I have money in my bank account. Is there a problem with recharge?

  • AJMarsh17 Ashley Marsh (@AJMarsh17) reported

    @JoshFrydenberg You have been the worst Treasurer but you might be able to get a job with Glady at @Optus after the election.

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @DJXX__ Hi Danny, due to severe weather, some Optus customers in NSW may experience issues connecting to their services. Our Networks team are working on it, and in the instance of emergency, customers should still dial 000. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Kartik

  • thekernel18 TheKernel (@thekernel18) reported

    @optus NBN outage I have no internet in Roselands 2196 since 7am today, I can't get through to you to report it, your 24/7 help app chat is not responding. Where is your commitment to customer support?!

  • liverpoolfcsyd Liverpool Fan (@liverpoolfcsyd) reported

    @optus is the worst telecommunications company in Australia there’s no way to speak a human on the phone for technical help after hours, six months of constant dropouts, BS excuses from the technical support team i.e. your Internet drops out because you have your Xbox connected

  • MidgetFN midgetfishy (@MidgetFN) reported

    @Optus I haven’t had internet all day it’s been down in 2219? I need connection to be able to work

  • erinmielens_ Erin Mielens (@erinmielens_) reported

    @Optus trying to recharge my kids phone credit but I’m currently unable to. Any idea how long it will be before your recharge service is working again? My child can’t contact me as they’ve got no credit
