  @Optus until you improve your service you have no business increasing your undeserved fees a whopping 7.7% - above inflation. You are already overpaid at the current fees for what customers get.

  Madness! Google will not let me comment because Microsoft forced me to buy a new computer. I don't have my old phone because Optus forced me to buy a new phone. My comment? RICH BASTARD'S POWER DEPENDS ON EVERYONE ELSE BEING POOR, BERNARD. They keep us poor and powerless!

  @ben_mummery @gooneritis @TheFootyFeed Tell us you only started watching football yesterday without telling us. Arsenal have the most VAR errors since VAR was introduced Fact and even on Optus

  @FOXFOOTY Crap. SA v WA at Optus next year then the winner plays Vic the following year in Adelaide or Perth.

  @Optus @ollierafc This happens all the time and the customer service team does not care or offer any help

  @Optus @optus_help 3rd day no NBN internet, so why do I pay $100 a month for no service? Superloop and Starlink looking very appealing right now. Maybe time for me to switch?

  @optus you don't allow me to cancel my mobile number and are forcing me to keep paying. I want to cancel, how can I do that? I left Australia last year. Your customer service agents say that to cancel I need to return to Australia and physically present at an Optus store.

  @chatzi41 @iSpeedtestOS That's the iOS 26.5 update adding end-to-end encrypted RCS (beta) support on Apple's side. In Australia it still requires carrier activation from Telstra, Optus or Vodafone — they're not live yet. Rollout still looking like mid-to-late 2026. Toggle should appear in Messages once your carrier enables it.
