    @Optus Thanks. Checked last night, no planned or unplanned outage. Had 5 hours of zero service.

  • damethelog A’tuin Sneezed (@damethelog) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    3/ two @Optus guys come. Nope, it’s gotta go in here. Come back a week later. No, the folks down the back need it to do work. Well, ya might need a booster. Ok, I’ll pop down and check.

  • AdrianoDiPrato Adriano Di Prato (@AdrianoDiPrato) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    + Hello @Optus, I’ve now returned to Oz and the iPhone still hasn’t arrived. Additionally I was promised that within 5 days someone would contact me regarding my complaint. This hasn’t happened either. Clearly the incompetence previously stated just continues. #OptOUT

  • kelvin_yli 靚仔小圓 (@kelvin_yli) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Very bad signal on train track from Southland Station towards City direction, my girlfriend can’t make WeChat Call and I can’t play PokémonGo. It never happened before to us. @Optus

  • AdrianoDiPrato Adriano Di Prato (@AdrianoDiPrato) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus + 2/3 @optus just chose to send the “stock” to another customer and make me wait longer after the rekeying of the order. Basically they cancelled the original order and simply re-issued a new order with a new delivery address. #OptOUT

  • KoparaFallsKid 💧Robyn D💦 (@KoparaFallsKid) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @SydneySwitch I can't change that, Optus are in charge of their infrastructure arrangements, not me! The test just tells me Optus are using a Telstra server in the provision of their service to me.

  • Uberstooks Amber [HGG] (@Uberstooks) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus Hi Nard, thanks for the reply. Funny you advise no outages but I was engaging with someone on message/chat who advised there are in fact drop outs in my area. Issue still occurring and will call this morning. Thanks for your help

  • mrjamesmoore James Moore (@mrjamesmoore) reported from Riddell, State of Victoria

    @Optus If you could launch a Samsung TV app I’d never bring up the first 2 years again. Pinky promise.

  • msg621 Mark G (@msg621) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus just wondering if there is a status update on my internet connection issue

  • walkerhell Walker (@walkerhell) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus criminally overcharge for a service you can get, at a fraction of the price elsewhere. Will forever warn people against Optus.

  • fulv1977 Fulvio Antonelli (@fulv1977) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    What a country. 3 straight days of no internet or at best internet dropping in and out. We are in 2019 and this is as good as it gets. @Optus still don’t have a solution!

  • notout50 Alex DC (@notout50) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @zachyp35 @Optus I've been having massive issues as well. Sometimes no coverage at all for an hour.

  • eileen_1956 Eileen B Kenny (@eileen_1956) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Red_and_Blue26 You might live to rue going to Optus. They have not purchased adequate broadband & the NBN highlights that. 10 weeks with no solution - hello Telstra, bye bye Optus. Not one second of regret, we have not dropped out once in over 3 months with T.

  • kelvin_yli 靚仔小圓 (@kelvin_yli) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Very bad signal on train track from Southland Station towards City direction, my girlfriend can’t make WeChat Call and I can’t play Pokémon Go. It never happened before to us. @Optus

  • ekanj E.K. (@ekanj) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus our internet has been down for the past 4 hours

  • ppossej Michael Jessopp (@ppossej) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @adam_turner @Aussie_BB I rang @Optus once to report that a fallen tree branch had ripped the phone line from the house and phone support wanted to perform a line diagnostic test and insisted that I power on the modem

  • fulv1977 Fulvio Antonelli (@fulv1977) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Another day, another #nbn outage courtesy of @Optus . If #nbn was a legitimate business it would be investigated by the @acccgovau for its complete mishandling of the entire infrastructure and customers.

  • Jarvascious Jarvis Johnson (@Jarvascious) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @domm @jonathannen Lurking but thought I should share - Verizon is the Telstra of US. AT&T is the Optus - OK in cities and bad elsewhere.

  • DynamicDusa Dusa Shah (@DynamicDusa) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus can you please please please bring your call centre back into Australia! The offshore call centre are terrible! They never understand what's going on 🙄

  • msg621 Mark G (@msg621) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    still no internet - how long do I have to wait for @Optus to sort it’s operation out. After feeling pushed to switch to nbn within a few months rather than the allowed 18 months, a stuff up with connection dates and now no internet. Rubbish effort Optus. Truly awful

  • billdogan Bill Dogan (@billdogan) reported

    @Optus why is your network coverage almost non existent now in Hillside Victoria at the Calder Park end, it used to be magnificent up until a few months ago? Is this a result of your recent 'upgrade'

  • QuentinFry Quentin Fry (@QuentinFry) reported

    Day 1 of daytime media blackout to watch World Cup matches post-work; fail. The ******* Optus Sports app sent me a result push notification. We try again tomorrow. Also expecting some pillock in the office to blurt out the result, pub showing the game as I walk past etc.😡

  • chloebooker Chloe Booker 📚 (@chloebooker) reported

    @Optus not only were by personal details hacked and it took a gov dept to notify me, I now can’t get into my account w/o driving to an Optus store. I am told by your so called customer service that I need an email address sent by letter 4-5 years ago to access my account.

  • NewyRoosters #lolatsouffs (@NewyRoosters) reported

    While @Optus customers have to get hacked to have money taken from their accounts @Telstra just **** up your bills and steal it themselves and refuse to give it back Nice that they cut out the middle man

  • todddavies Todd Davies (@todddavies) reported

    4. Other than some fee raise restraint (on the back of endless CPI x 2 increases), really no effort on customer retention. Surprising. At least Optus did this - not well, but at least they did it.

  • thclm The Calm (@thclm) reported

    @optus has by far the most umhelpful customer service of all time.

  • danieljfischer Daniel Fischer (@danieljfischer) reported

    Hey @Optus - you've taken an extra $720 from my credit card since April. Phone support say they cant help and to use the message support in the app. Message support in the app say to call phone support! Neither will escalate it... What's the best way to sort this out?!

  • madgehasgangren madgehasgangrene (@madgehasgangren) reported

    @Optus you have been sending me those texts abt “improving speeds” for over 6 mos but my net is dropping out multiple times a day for weeks now. If you’re not capable of providing the service I pay for then you need to let me terminate the contract

  • kervinb_7 Kervinb (@kervinb_7) reported

    @Villa847 @Optus @bootyz333 Got the same issue!!

  • chris_no1ofem 💧💉💉Chris B84💉 💉🇺🇦 (@chris_no1ofem) reported

    @ProfRayWills @iiNet We were with iiNet for 22 years Prof.Ray, but problems after Michael sold out, only got worse. NBN out by lightning, 2 years running, with month long repairs. Ret village of copper. Optus 5G Home in Wanneroo, for 2.5 years now. No complaints. Feel safer with cell towers.
