    @WAtoday It is worth pointing out that WA State Government now has a surplus this year exceeding 3 billion dollars from mining and stamp duty, tear up the Optus contract at the Stadium which was only put in place looking for extra dollars when coming to office, that problem is now fixed.

    @optus is there a reason why so slow today?

  • macisaman1 mac is a man (@macisaman1) reported

    @TInvestor2 @WAtoday Also that has never happened. Not allowed to say anything but Optus except for Cricket

  • missizzyofficer Isabel Thomson-Officer (@missizzyofficer) reported

    @Optus Internet has dropped out three times today, it's still offline and I'm being forced to use data from my phone which is fast running out. We spent an hour on the phone to support yesterday and were informed it was fixed. What is going on?

    @Dave_Matteo Walked into the Optus store nearby, sorted with a new service in about 17 minutes. @Telstra

    @VickswFett @uli_davila Nah I only have optus sports which doesn't have A league and today I can't find a stream. Poor game though

    @AFoxApc @Optus Optus got back to me via DM and said they’re aware of the issue on Samsung TVs and looking to fix the issue.

  • JayJayK75 #sydneyisskyblue (@JayJayK75) reported

    @Optus Third phone call for today, 1st said 2 hours to connect, 2nd said another 5 hours, and now it’s tomorrow. Way to treat customers 👍🏻

  • MiaFerreira MiaFerreira (@MiaFerreira) reported

    Imagine moving house in 2021, amid a global pandemic, where most people are still working from home, and finding out that @NBN_Australia is having equipment shortages and connection issues and will be unable to get you online for 58 - 60 days... #nbnfail @Optus

  • Thomo6006 Thomo (@Thomo6006) reported

    @Optus NBN not working. Have been told by @Optus customer service it takes 2-3 business days before they will look into it. Is this the worst KPI by not only Telco's, but in any service industry?? Do not use @Optus !!!!!
