    @Optus @bonesooo Is your mobile service ever going to work in Forest Lodge at all? 3km from the Sydney CBD offering data rates of a 64K modem. Woohoo. No regrets that I ditched Optus

    I see the Singaporean company optus has experienced an outage, maybe they should supply Berejiklian with a bigger power supply for all the shredders she has going

  • FenstarDeLuxe Fenstar (@FenstarDeLuxe) reported

    Since February @Optus have been doing work on my local mobile tower to "bring faster network speeds and more reliable service..." The issue is, my phone barely works, I can't make calls if I am not on wifi. I just got an SMS saying they're doing MORE work.

    @7NewsPerth @Optus How did we ever survive without them?!?! First world problems are pathetic....

  • OptusNewsRoom Optus News (@OptusNewsRoom) reported

    @Telstra @Optus Thanks for the feedback, Telstra. Our team jumped into action and restoration is already underway as we seek to look after each and every customer. Thankfully, we didn't disconnect an entire state!

  • JoshCarter_ JRC (@JoshCarter_) reported

    @Optus Hi there, is there any resources about work being undertaken at our local tower? I have had intermittent issues for a few months with my 5G home internet but whenever I check the service status map there is works happening. Can I find out when these works might end?

    @7NewsMelbourne @Optus Vodafone network had the problem, fixed now. It wasn’t Optus!
