  • JuanGMeza Juan Meza (@JuanGMeza) reported

    @Optus what’s happening with the mobile service in the St Clair/Woodville SA area?

  • Type217 Deana Groomdiali (@Type217) reported

    @abcnews Who’s paying for that? Optus should pay the same replacement cost of anyone who lost theirs previously down the sofa.

  • Coolbrine51 Coolbrine (@Coolbrine51) reported

    @Optus After many years glad to be rid of Optus. Their customer service is woeful and they can't protect my personal information that they required to be a customer. Good riddance... never again will I be one of their customers.

  • iamyourinfinity Shemmie (@iamyourinfinity) reported

    @Optus CS is so frustrating. All we want is to get our home internet fixed the soonest yet they only keep on suggesting restarting and resetting the modem when there’s no issue with our hardware 💩💩💩 Gone are days when requesting a technician visit was one call away.

    @Optus hi team having a lot of long dropouts in Calamvale 4116 again. It was suggested there were issues yesterday and was getting fixed but it’s still no good and the service checker says all good. Can you please check and advise. Thanks

  • lynx2223 lynx222 (@lynx2223) reported

    @vincent_wales @LynAldenContact And 10m Optus accounts, 225000 medilab accounts ( patient records, credit cards and cvc, Medicare details, mobile numbers, bank account details). Fines will be levied- but what about the customer? These details should be deleted after onboarding customer

  • brettg1974 BrettG (@brettg1974) reported

    @Telstra I'll believe it when I see it. In the meantime, I'm going to crucify you on twitter using my @Optus mobile connection. You sell this service as a great broadband replacement. People need to know what they're actually going to get.

  • luvmygoose Black Jacket - Sewer rat, union thug. (@luvmygoose) reported

    @redruby17 @ClareONeilMP @Optus I made a complaint to Optus and because I wouldn't provide my ID over the phone to their inbound call they marked me as 'uncooperative' and closed the complaint as resolved. It's not resolved.

    @nihardesai7 Change 🇮🇳 flag to 🇵🇰 if Pak end on a winning note today v 🇳🇱 If they lose then focus on Zimbabwe to Qualify again if they win today Worth seeing the signs of how Optus behaves Could slow down for second match We are on thin ice Squad depleted repeat of 2021 🕴🏿

  • rossandrew61 Ross Andrew (@rossandrew61) reported from Westfield, State of Western Australia

    @VodafoneAU you seriously have no idea how to look after customers. Absolutely hopeless. I'm paying for a service that doesn't work....repeatedly. My work depends on you delivering a service that I pay for, incredibly bad and disappointing. Checking Optus and Tesltra options 😞
