    @Optus Hi Optus. Are there problems with Optus lines in the Canberra area at the moment? X Calls are dropping out.

  • millerpete Pete Miller (@millerpete) reported

    @Optus Thanks Quade. I’ve shared a number of DM requests as well but get the same response that the teams are doing all they can to help. I knew it would be a wait but this is getting beyond the joke.

  • LyndenKCroucher CROUCHERLynden (@LyndenKCroucher) reported

    @Optus 5G LOW SIGNAL.

  • Perorationer Perorationer🕵️‍♀️Wash Hands😷 Stay The * Home🚔 (@Perorationer) reported

    @PaulRoom101 @lynlinking @MichaelWestBiz Quite so. The extraordinary hoops they put Optus / Galaxy thru just to give Murdoch clean air. Murdoch only ever makes money when he either dominates, or has exclusivity to any medium, and Govts of all persuasions have been happy to help

  • linuxpirategeek Chris McGimpsey-Jones (@linuxpirategeek) reported

    @Optus Anybody at Optus care to argue to the contrary that the network is in a permanent state of "Maintenance"? I'm guessing no. My experience and rolling screenshots offer the true picture.

  • johnb78 John B (@johnb78) reported

    @Bergha2 That isn't really true - the original plan also involved the acquisition of the Telstra and Optus networks, and the use of their physical infrastructure, in ways that would have run into very similar problems to the actually-existing rollout.

    @Optus outage Broadview 5083 from 12:15am. Sudden and unexpected. Reset everything, no joy. I'm dying. Need the interwebs. Please guys.

  • HettieLizzy Heather Elizabeth (@HettieLizzy) reported

    Australian phone companies are tripping. I got an Optus sim and now I get at least 7 cold calls a day I miss my Three sim I was unbothered and loving it, **** the cold calls mate

  • andrewrits_ Andrew (@andrewrits_) reported

    Hello @Optus Is there a network outage? My internet has been dropping out in the last few days! @networkoutage

  • PaulAble2017 We The People, Vote Australian Republic (@PaulAble2017) reported

    @Optus OPTUS is putting my life at risk. They have the worse coverage in Twin Waters in the last 2 years. I pay a fortune for a poor service and overcharges and fees for nothing. My doctor tried to contact me, I never received a single call. Only when in the piscine?
