  • bloodhoundau Anthony Ashton (@bloodhoundau) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    @LawrieColliver Oh gosh. This is similar to optus. Who had issues with broadcasting the rugby world cup.

  • wengywong Weng Wong (@wengywong) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    @Optus Second time a NBN technician has not bothered to come, well done @Optus, such great customer service. You guys are a joke.

  • c_verdicchio Christian Verdicchio (@c_verdicchio) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    @Optus so just called and got to a operator who transfers me and the line gets cut. Good work for a communications company. This poor service is too common with Optus and I’m really looking at taking the family and business back to @VodafoneGroup or @Telstra.

  • effielarocca Teresa LaRocca (@effielarocca) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    @Telstra 1/2. 2,weeks ago I suggested we switch from @Optus to Telstra, up our speed to 50mps as your bundle seemed better than Optus. Now we have no internet (which seemed to work on an Optus network) and yesterday my sister lost her job. She has 2 weeks left of her job and now

  • wengywong Weng Wong (@wengywong) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    Been with @Optus for over 23 years now but looks like it is time to take my business elsewhere due to their unresponsiveness and lack of customer support/care...poor form @Optus, very disappointing after all this time

  • ABlueSkyandaCoo christopher maland (@ABlueSkyandaCoo) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    @Optus 3/1 Mills street South Brighton South Australia 5048 part (2) If the problem is not external the box on the outside of the building needs to be checked. The box needs a more secure locking mechanism

  • suechook Susie 🌹 (@suechook) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    @Optus How stupid are Optus don’t have app anymore so can’t send latest bill! Who employs these muppets.Cant call as keep getting cut off. Identity has been provided, Ombudsman will get call tomorrow

  • suechook Susie 🌹 (@suechook) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    @Optus Trying to get a refund with you is a bloody joke!Hubby has verified who he is and now you want details on when he opened account 14 years ago ! WTF terrible customer service all for $39 refund

  • c_verdicchio Christian Verdicchio (@c_verdicchio) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    @Optus @VodafoneAU Hi @Optus I have DM you guys just waiting to hear back! Turns out you also have not updated the new deal for my wife either. Really really poor. If this doesn’t get sorted today will be returning phone and going back to @VodafoneAU or @Telstra

  • LeithGourlay Leith Gourlay (@LeithGourlay) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    @danhaesler @Optus Hi @danhaesler, this is not a 1st world problem, is a contractual issue where services paid for haven’t been provide. #goodfaith #fair #reasonable #expected

  • c_verdicchio Christian Verdicchio (@c_verdicchio) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    @Optus @VodafoneAU Still on the phone for 30-mins and this is a mess. All your staff have no idea. Expect a formal complaint to the @TelcoOmbudsman on how you charge for services not delivered and how you don’t put on your records your discounts you quote to get us to sign up too!

  • ABlueSkyandaCoo christopher maland (@ABlueSkyandaCoo) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    @Optus 3/1 Mills street South Brighton 5048 part(3) I cannot contact Optus any other way at this time. If the problem is in the box (on the outside of the building) a more secure locking mechanism must be provided. If not please change my contract to wireless.

  • c_verdicchio Christian Verdicchio (@c_verdicchio) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    @Optus This is a joke. Now your telling me I have to pay more than agreed. This is pure theft. If you want to discuss how about you call me for once directly and maybe try reading your notes first before asking the same questions. Should never have left @VodafoneAU. DM me for a number.

  • c_verdicchio Christian Verdicchio (@c_verdicchio) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    @Optus you’ve done it again. #Floptus I’ve tried to assist setting up my mums home phone for a month now. You cancelled her nbn setup visit and still haven’t contacted her after a week and now send her another nbn box. You guys are the worst for customer service. @acccgovau

  • keegansard Keegan J. Sard (@keegansard) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    Hey @Optus - your app is broken again! DM me.

  • sian_walden Sian Walden (@sian_walden) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    @alanwedesweiler @Optus RIGHT! Its now 3 wks since I ordered & am blown away by the lack of problem solving @Optus has offered given this situation. This is horrific customer service, while ‘out of your control’- what you can control is how you solve an issue quickly - keeping customers happy.

  • stratEGbywade stratEG by wade (@stratEGbywade) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    @Optus @Icy_Remote I'm also trying to register a SIM for a non English speaking friend. Online help is not working

  • ABlueSkyandaCoo christopher maland (@ABlueSkyandaCoo) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    @Optus 3/1 Mills street South Brighton 5048 (do not wait for me to contact you) Check for external errors immediately. If not send someone over immediately to check the inside of the box & provide a more secure locking mechanism. If you cannot do this ship me a wireless kit

  • returnofsmith Paul Mizzi (@returnofsmith) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    Thanks @Optus for your inconsistent internet speeds on your wireless broadband service. Sunday night movie was ruined by constant buffering even after many router resets. $800+ a year and I can’t even be confident to invite friends over for a movie 😡😡😡😡😡

  • wengywong Weng Wong (@wengywong) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    @TPG_Telecom are no better than @Optus, two complaints now lodged with the Ombudsman. Come on telcos, lift your customer service

    @Optus can you please update me on 5G service in rivervale, perth. No internet all day

  • His0ka_Morow Hisoka Morow (@His0ka_Morow) reported

    @Optus Yep. Area outage. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

  • autistic_muse Dissolved Girl ̿̿ ̿̿ ̿̿ ̿̿ ̿'̿'\̵͇̿̿\🏳️ (@autistic_muse) reported

    holy ****. Optus are recommending I take a photo of the Encryption key. Do they teach them anything about security measures at all? Yes let's just have that information floating around

  • Guimari Marie Fernandez (@Guimari) reported

    @NSWHealth My son works for Optus in Bondi junction, which is one of the suburbs locked down but he lives in a suburb that is not affected. However the manager at Optus in Bondi junction is insisting that he attends work at their Bondi store, what is the point of a locked down?

  • FootyRhino Ryan Daniels (@FootyRhino) reported

    Mark down July 15 as a Thursday night clash between @freodockers & @GeelongCats at Optus. As noted by @sirswampthing, would end a streak of 5 years without a Thur/Fri night game for Freo. Not yet confirmed (no doubt we'll be dealing with more Covid mess by then), but likely.

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @Oz_Abi Hey Abi, we’re aware of an issue still impacting SMS for some Optus customers (Ref#23889943). We are working to restore services as a priority. We recommend restarting your device and resetting your Network settings. Alternatively, we suggest data messaging services (1/2)

  • pieman_78 Pietro Cosenza (@pieman_78) reported

    Why has this idiot on Optus just called extra time “additional time” - twice? Berk.

  • Blaydenn67 Brett Martin (@Blaydenn67) reported

    @FootyRhino @sydneyswans @WestCoastEagles WTF would not just use Optus, and give the money to Sydney!?!?!!? There'll be no crowd to speak of, and it's not a home ground advantage for Sydney? Why not give them a decent ol' payday, if nothing else?

  • dimo1629 Chris Dimo (@dimo1629) reported

    @Optus is there an ETA when the SMS issues will be fixed. Intermittent issues with sending text messages since yesterday

  • westozdonna 🐝🐣westozDonna 🎀 (@westozdonna) reported

    Went to do my online banking today for next week's bills only to find that the @Optus network isn't talking to @bankaust. @Optus, this is a big NO from me & lots of people won't be able to pay your account & other bills if you don't get it sorted ASAP.
