  • Hazaa84 Harry Dinis (@Hazaa84) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @StavrosKaltsos @Optus @Telstra I’ve done that before. Doesn’t help

  • petenowakowski Pete Nowakowski (@petenowakowski) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Thanks but to be honest, after four phone calls with an average hold time of 1.5hrs, three appointments booked where no one turned up, and no resolution clearly set out, I'll be considering taking my business elsewhere over the coming days. Thanks

  • c7campbell7 Caitlin Campbell (@c7campbell7) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus appalling customer service today. After trying to resolve a network issue for the past 6 months, I got offered a “discount” but was then told I would lose 20GB... that’s not a discount... that’s a downgrade #notimpressed

  • beerboy182 BEERBOY (@beerboy182) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @GusWorland I could be wrong. But that possibly gets left like that especially in those leafy areas after storms have brought down non dangerous voltage lines. There’s one near by house from the Optus cable I had to tie up still taped from the February super storms

  • 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.

  • Matthew_James72 Matthew James (@Matthew_James72) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @optus Hi, are you guy's having problems with email tonight? Email service is only working on a very limited basis, but mostly not able to login at all.

  • 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

  • Hazaa84 Harry Dinis (@Hazaa84) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    I’m so over @Optus mobile service. Constant drop outs and poor reception. Can’t wait for my contract to finish to switch back to @Telstra

  • just_brash Justin Brash (@just_brash) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @iinet did it again. You canceled my service without warning twice in one month. I warned you I was going to join one of your competitors and this is my first tweet using @Optus. iiNet good bye, it’s been fun.

  • SirJS Joseph (@SirJS) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Great customer service from @optus, who are miles ahead from @telstra when it comes to online customer support.

  • DjuroSen Djuro Sen (@DjuroSen) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @MConallin @Optus @amazon @geteero Hey Murray definitely wait if you want 5G. If you get the current 11 - you’ll be stuck with 4G. Still fast but it won’t be able to access the 5G service.

  • Jogi432 kavya Sharma (@Jogi432) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus hi your finace team is unreachable. Need to talk about bill and every one around me is facing a same problem. You guys immediately need to suspend the collections for this month

  • 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!

  • ExpandALeague Expand the A-League (@ExpandALeague) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Optus sport are really stepping up, and stomping down that others mob you know the one that supposedly supports football 🦊

  • 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.

    @RozChia I don’t have a choice. Optus doesn’t service this street. They service the street behind us and the streets at either end of ours, but not this one. Was with Telstra 1987-2008* and moved bc they’re useless. Turns out Optus is too but had to come back to Telstra when we came here

  • 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).

  • JVartndesign Julie Vaux (@JVartndesign) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @GillianPolack @SueBursztynski Im supposedly to have been moved from virgin to optus but I think a lot of providers and other orgs n businesses are having issues with being understaffed due to lockdowns

  • 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 :)

  • JakePorritt Jake P (@JakePorritt) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @RSBayliss @OptusSport Can we have nothing but LUFCon Optus for the next 24 hours? **** the rest

    @Optus hi. I am travelling in Poland now and my phone says “no service”. When I change the SIM card to a Polish T-Mobile account It works fine. What could the issue be? Thanks.

  • perthhacks PerthHacks (@perthhacks) reported

    @Optus a friend tried to port out of your network a week ago and you've still left them in mobile limbo. Any chance of getting some real support maybe in Australia?

  • hwespotato nuest brain rot | 🥔⁷ (@hwespotato) reported

  • PnKllr 𝙋𝙉𝙆𝙇𝙇𝙍 (@PnKllr) reported

    @Optus I just noticed they were doing works, that might be the cause. Ill check back after the works been completed and see if theres an issues. Thank you tho.

  • kel4x4 Kellie Davis (@kel4x4) reported

    @Optus @Wayne02Wayne Hi Optus, I have 2 users experiencing the same issue. I am not an Optus customer myself, so how can I raise a case? It's definitely the same issue, there are many reports of this issue with the latest firmware.

  • Greg_CHF Greg (@Greg_CHF) reported

    @Optus I live at Ramsgate and in recent weeks I’m often only able to do wifi calls. I actually called Optus, was speaking to someone and the call dropped out. I can’t remember reception being this bad in a long time. In addition at Tempe I’ve noticed there is only 3G reception.

  • ToneSaysGoLeft 🐀Tone The Sewer Rat🐀 (@ToneSaysGoLeft) reported

    @somewherein84 Walked into Telstra store here once. Waited and hour. Walked out. Went to Optus across the way. Cancelled our 25 year Telstra account & joined Optus. Have had nothing but great service since

  • SMC6450 Steven (@SMC6450) reported

    @Optus Optus you have shown your true colours! My wireless broadband is so slow that I’m getting faster rates hotspotting from my phone. Complained to Optus, 5 tiresome phone calls later, your solution...upgrade to a more expensive package. Pathetic customer service!

  • nemuinell 넬Nell (@nemuinell) reported
