  • BigV2011WCE Victor Yong #WestIsBest (@BigV2011WCE) reported from Westfield, State of Western Australia

    @kazdownunder23 time to support the WAFL this year given the Grand Final played at Optus with spectators

  • au_chrismor Chris Moran (Home Internet still borked) (@au_chrismor) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    So @optus are sending me a SIM for the wrong service. I spent 40 minutes trying to correct this, and now I have even less service than before.

  • Granville4879 Granville #AussieResister (@Granville4879) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    @JohnCoo51013646 @call_me_tomasso @Leinster_Lad @lesleygood1 @Optus Ah yes, I well remember Telecom and the Post Office, both focused on the customer and delivering quality service.

  • AnnaKEdwards Anna (@AnnaKEdwards) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @markahollands @Optus Yes. I checked the @Optus network status page and no mention. This is happening frequently in Russell Lea.

  • NickArkoudis Nick Arkoudis (@NickArkoudis) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    I have never ever dealt with a more incompetent & poor service business like @Optus in my life. You can’t make up some of the mistakes these people make

  • Dan_M75 Dan (@Dan_M75) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @clkz0r @kilcarnup Use the ABB address checker - you may be one of the new HFC users who can get 250mbps down. Then you’ll be inundated with ABB users giving you their referral codes for $50 credit each. (I’m on ABB FTTC and it shits on Optus Cable’s 2mbps upload cap, I’m getting 95/20 24/7).

  • tomwoodau distant tom (@tomwoodau) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @negri_thomas @ClaytonTFord Likely to be just Optus' fixed backhaul, no reports of an issue with Telstra I can find, and Optus mobile data working. @Optus please provide more details of this significant outage! (ping @NBN_Australia)

  • petehanssens Peter Hanssens #BlackLivesMatter (@petehanssens) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Ah yup, sorry my bad - i didn’t realize anything but the EPL was playing in England - thanks for the heads up :)

  • samcurrie Sam Currie (@samcurrie) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus once again no signal (NBN HFC) in Hampton 3181. The service the last couple of days has been horrendous

  • DebCansdell 💧 Deb Cansdell 🌱 (@DebCansdell) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @rubin_angela @MinhKular Optus are just as bad. 94 year old MIL was dying. Found her unpaid mobile bill. Only way to pay was our credit card to pay $ owing. Have sent them her death certificate but 6 months later, they are STILL billing our credit card for her mobile phone contract!
