    You are an absolute joke @Optus Went into a store about an issue and they couldn't fix the problem and twice today I contacted the customer care centre, both times got put on hold and you hung up on me. I'l be contacting the ombudsman and moving my services to @Telstra

  • _marty_k Marty K (@_marty_k) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @developerjack You gotta wonder if there’s been a bank hack that hasn’t hit the news yet… & they’re trying to get ahead of it instead of the poor response a-la-Optus & Medibank

  • sj_sally Sally Fletcher (@sj_sally) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus been trying to log into your app to fix a tech issue no internet and access online messaging with no success please help

  • NigelHighley Nigel Highley (@NigelHighley) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @AlboMP Hows the reversal of the anti syphoning of the EPL coming along? Shouldn't have to be an optus mobile customer to gain access

  • msstraighty180 Tiffany (@msstraighty180) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @HansOrph @Optus Not handling the breach well IMO made me glad not to be a customer

  • hugobrown Hugo (@hugobrown) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus is the network down in 2022 (Oatley Mortdale ) I've been on H+ all morning can barely tweet let alone use apps, its not even enough optus open app to check network status. Why are we getting these connection issues .

  • alderman1973 Peter Alderman (@alderman1973) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Offshore @Optus call centre's are the death of me at the moment. One hour and still no level of comprehension to resolve my problem with mobile charges. Horrific customer service.

  • GT_AUS Graeme T (he/him)💉x 4😷 - 🌳🌲 🍃🌏 (@GT_AUS) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @janine_hendry @MargaretHollin1 @Optus Ah yes, seems things haven't changed since I dropped them a few years ago. Still fascinates me they are a going concern. Mgmt here and parent, SINGTEL couldn't give a rat's arse about customer service. 👎😡🤬

  • ProbalC Probal Chakravorty (@ProbalC) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Almost 20 days @TPG_Telecom could not deliver a modem..confusion,promises, no update, silence and frustration. Absolutely customer unfriendly organisation with fake processes being in place.. shall I go to @Optus or @Telstra now..who can help me?

  • 50to39 Donna Longhurst (@50to39) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    The latest Optus ad deals with their cyber attack. Fair enough. My problem is they use the term 'learnings'. A word that doesn't exist in the English language. Lessons is the correct term, or 'what we have learnt'. If they can't get something that simple right, I wonder....

  • JVizzone John Vizzone (@JVizzone) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Wonder how the Optus customers are going? More than 18 months after some pirate called Service NSW and illegally obtained and changed my licence details to then access various institutions I deal with to steal from me, today Service NSW finally issued me a new licence number.

  • Bricklemoree Blake Scott (@Bricklemoree) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Deeply love how the @Optus App won't let you pay your God damn bills until they charge you a late fee.

  • lyng62 Lyn (aka The Tractor 🚜) (@lyng62) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus call centre staff are immeasurably incompetent it took three phone calls in order to cancel a service for a house I’m moving out of Not that difficult you would think. Gave them a date - 1st Feb It was cancelled within two minutes now I have no Internet…

  • msstraighty180 Tiffany (@msstraighty180) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @HansOrph @Optus Had bad customer experience with them in 2009 thus they've been blacklisted by me since then

  • adhdbusiness Untypical Business @adhdbusiness@mstdn.jp (@adhdbusiness) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Well done @optus. My current plan is $63 a month and gets me 160gb and unlimited international roaming plus 2gb data. The new plans are $59 for 100gb PLUS $5 a month for roaming with no data. I’ll either stay on my old plan or jump ship elsewhere because the value is bad.

  • adro_franco Adrian Franco (@adro_franco) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Renzy188 Well when Optus got La Liga i wasn’t going to wake up early in the morning just to watch the game so I just watch the highlights problem solved

  • just_brash Justin Brash 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇦🇺🍸📷🐱 (@just_brash) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Tim_Fiddes I’m on the very leaky Optus network.

  • BradJCurtis2 Brad Curtis🇦🇺🇩🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺🇦🇺 (@BradJCurtis2) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Why ******** is Optus Sport not allowing me to watch anything saying: need to be Optus Sport Premium Subscriber? Only just started now. So the $25 per month isn't the premium

  • vacant3rdman Anthony Horton @spacelizard@aus.social (@vacant3rdman) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus I bought a 4G modem for use at a location that has coverage from your 4G network, only to find that it's artificially limited to 3G speeds. This is totally unacceptable. I want a refund so I can spend the money on a Telstra modem instead.

  • TabLordKP KP (@TabLordKP) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Is anyone else having issues with the Optus Sport stream this morning

    There will never be a streaming service worse than Optus Sport, the **** is embarrassingly bad, unsurprising given how **** Optus themselves are.

  • AndyMur37716863 Andy Murray (@AndyMur37716863) reported

    @Optus @AlexAymonier As if this isn’t a to priority, the main customer base for Optus sport would be men in there 20’s and 30’s. Guess whose buying and using the ps5… I’ll give you a hint there In there 20’s and 30’s!

  • davidbrewster David Brewster (@davidbrewster) reported

    @Optus Are discount Hoyts tickets still available or not? The website says yes, but no links are working and I can't get the app to even open. Someone in tech support told a friend the deal is no longer operating. Pls confirm one way or the other.

  • FORTHEPEOPLE_AU FTP (@FORTHEPEOPLE_AU) reported

    Hey @Optus your 5G broadband internet around Emu Plains is absolute garbage. It has been all week. Fix it now already.

  • Davehaha2001 Dave ✌️ (@Davehaha2001) reported

    @VodafoneAU @Optus why is uploading so bad can’t upload HDR videos at all it’s like what’s the point

  • _Not_Happy_Jan The Bitter Twittora (@_Not_Happy_Jan) reported

    @Optus Why can no one on optus ring through with my phone number? It gives them a 'that number is disconnected' message. No problem with any other telco getting through to me.
