  • Stevenqoz Steven Quilty (@Stevenqoz) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @TheWorldGame @lewieatlarge Get the main part of whatever front end. Fox Sports will be gone in 18 months. Poor business model in last throes. A League will end up on Optus

  • skylxrksays SKYLXRK’s at least a C+! (@skylxrksays) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @joshh_dp In recent years I’ve gone Optus > Telstra > Voda and I can say that at least Optus tried to come up with compromises whereas Telstra basically told me to suck it up. I haven’t had to seek support from Voda yet.

  • manaz_d Robert Hudson (@manaz_d) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @royfrancisbrown @ssharwood @NBN_Australia @Telstra I thought they acquired it, then realised what a steaming pile of crap it was, and decided not to bother using it. Optus and Telstra cable largely shadowed each other anyway. No point having both for the majority of locations.

  • medwards87 Matthew Edwards (@medwards87) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @benjya85 I’m Optus wifi and Woolies mobile (Telstra network) ... issues connecting to Prime, Netflix and Twitter on wifi, but no problem on 4g. Indicates issue with @Optus service ... but as usual, no acknowledgement from them as yet.

  • anojch Anojcherian (@anojch) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Hello, I have ordered a Prepaid SIM with Epic data on 4th May (PF498858) & it’s not delivered yet..requesting u to cancel this order as our quarantine in SYD is over and we are moving out from here tomorrow; refer DM for details

  • ConZ0503 ConZ (@ConZ0503) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus hoping you can help me... My NBN service has stopped working and I can’t make phones calls. Tried calling but the message says you can not answer my call today. Can you please DM me to help

  • sherifmansour Sherif Mansour (@sherifmansour) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @sdomsta @Optus The irony was in my setup I couldn’t even login to the Telstra app - was stuck in some loop were I basically couldn’t do anything other than wait on the phone for hours.

  • 4Qpolies David (@4Qpolies) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @mavsmum @dazza_double_u @Optus Yes! Their system goes down at least once or twice a month and yet they try to get you to adopt an App that is not even working, much like Optus!

  • 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 🦊

  • anojch Anojcherian (@anojch) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @woolworths Guys need your help, Optus SIM cards delivered from u are expired, requesting to replace them urgently..check your DM for details..hope u can resolve it fast.

  • 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.

  • _MaverickGeorge G. 🌈❤️☮️ (@_MaverickGeorge) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus hi my nbn is down again this morning. You’re not showing any outages though. It’s becoming a bit of a joke - never know when it’s going to be working.

  • FreelyVivacious Malinda Gray (@FreelyVivacious) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus every second of my calls keep failing. I have full service, I don’t understand what is happening.

  • _MaverickGeorge G. 🌈❤️☮️ (@_MaverickGeorge) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus @NinjaBinda Your app is atrocious. As are the ongoing service disruptions.

  • steveathon Steve King (@steveathon) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @leisa @sherifmansour @Telstra @Optus @teltra As a long time customer of both - it's hard to split the difference sometimes. Both treat new customers far better than existing ones.

  • DinakarNamburi Dinakar Namburi (@DinakarNamburi) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus is a pain. Your internet sucks! I have been so patient all these days but today I gave up! #Optus #MobileBroadband

  • nawaz_shahh Nawaz Shah (@nawaz_shahh) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @LawyerAdamHouda @Optus Just they need to earn money no more good service left in @Optus

  • Stevenqoz Steven Quilty (@Stevenqoz) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @TheWorldGame @lewieatlarge Get the main part of whatever front end. Fox Sports will be gone in 18 months. Poor business model in last throes. A League will end up on Optus

  • Aussiegirl126 MsChez 🦘 (@Aussiegirl126) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @MicrophoneJock @Optus Wrong @telstra has no support put in place.

  • dorman_keith Keith (@dorman_keith) reported

    @Optus I’m so sorry, dealing with @Optus is the most frustrating thing ever…call centres useless, messaging service useless. I’m off to @TPG_Telecom

  • nerdrhage Geek Of Oz (@nerdrhage) reported

    @Optus I would rather you fix the 5g in my area that's been under maintenance and unusable for 2 months (it was meant to be 8 days). Can't use apps on the computer without having a good internet to get them or use them.

  • morcone67 Camillo Lombardi (@morcone67) reported

    @Optus Be nice if you return my call . Instead answer then call fail every time .

  • cloudcitizen Graham Lauren (@cloudcitizen) reported

    DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH #Optus. @Optus Even with its rotten support, you can't escape its lousy service without paying an $8.00 port out fee for each service number you have with it. I have never been happy with #Optus and this is among the worst customer experiences I have had.

  • juleshughan jules hughan (@juleshughan) reported

    Getting charged for two different internet plans by @Optus. I just can't quit them because of their customer service, but damn, this better get resolved.

  • mushr00m_lov3r i r i s (@mushr00m_lov3r) reported

    i give up im trying later **** you so ******* hard optus i really hope you choke

  • Kristian9k3g Kristian9k3g (@Kristian9k3g) reported

    @Optus Look at this guy assuming the problem is with my understanding. I assure you Nard I am intelligible and the fault is in the 6 different non-native speakers I've had to try to communicate with now. I am on the phone for the 3rd hour.

  • Michael63321388 Michael (@Michael63321388) reported

    Why are Optus twits such a load of **** from a Company which is on its corporate dem7se

  • fairyfloss32 Flossy (@fairyfloss32) reported

    @Optus still shockingly bad 5G. I just get told work is being done on a tower but I should not be impacted… can’t zoom, can’t even open my emails this morning. Not good enough Optus! I see you are giving the same answer to everyone else.

  • juleshughan jules hughan (@juleshughan) reported

    So @Optus have rendered my internet unable to work. After technical support advised me to switch SIM cards they deactivated the previous service that had been working for two years. I now have to wait 5 days. No technicians available.
