  • nimzmir Nimz (@nimzmir) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Shit Optus ain’t sent my phone. You already KNOW I’m calling up and not paying for my the phone portion of my bill at the end of my month if it ain’t here by then

  • maxymedia Scott Maxworthy (@maxymedia) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Come on @Optus our broadband has been down now for over three hours!!! 🤯

  • fictillius Evan (@fictillius) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @cenaniangzebi @Optus @Mondyboy This happened to me on Vodafone during beta testing. On iOS 12 I had so much trouble with Telstra’s network going deaf I moved to Vodafone and it has been fine apart from some beta issues.

  • eastuto Eugene of Astuto 🤔 (@eastuto) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    They even said that they had the wrong birth date on the system for that account. Now today internet slows down to Alphalink level dial up speed. 👋👋👋 Well done @Optus on making 20 yr long customers feel special.

  • chillnesses KR Dev 🇦🇺 (@chillnesses) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus fix ur shitty mobile network it never works. By far the worst carrier in Australia

  • officialdanek Danèk (@officialdanek) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    So I don’t know whose at fault, but my data is on but works like 5% of the time. Even turn my phone off for a bit and back on won’t help! @Apple @Optus

  • SarahHurc Sarah Hurcombe (@SarahHurc) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Honestly @Optus we have had the worst customer experience @TwoTalesCafe with you the last few weeks + particularly the last few days - your failure to take responsibility + resolve this has been shocking to experience. It’s always been someone else’s fault within the organisation

  • fictillius Evan (@fictillius) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @cenaniangzebi @Optus @Mondyboy The full signal but no connectivity is an iOS 13 bug. The only fix I’ve found is to reboot the phone.

  • Slacko_Mitch Mitchell Vladamotte (@Slacko_Mitch) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra I’ve already moved on. I left because you wouldn’t let me upgrade my phone a month early (I was a Telstra customer since I had my “hiptop” maybe 10yrs). So I saw out my contract and moved to Optus. They were just as good and cheaper. Im now on prepaid and it’s even cheaper again.

  • NickBurrough Nick Burrough (@NickBurrough) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra I raised a complaint on Telstra Website. I don’t need someone to tell me to switch on and off a service I don’t have! I moved to Optus last week. I just need the wire removed.

  • markc Mark Cohen (@markc) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus response to six hours with no service after four calls to various customer service no’s, two store visits and multiple emails… eh, try again tomorrow

  • MikePearsall93 Mike Pearsall (@MikePearsall93) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @juzzyjuuice @Optus As bad as Optus is I reckon they're the best of a horrible bunch. Just tried a different co for internet and went crawling back to them cause they were that shite.

  • nimzmir Nimz (@nimzmir) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Shit Optus ain’t sent my phone. You already KNOW I’m calling up and not paying for the phone portion of my bill at the end of my month if it ain’t here by then

  • paloappie Chelsea Feltham (@paloappie) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    After two weeks of no internet with @Optus due to “back end issues” with my relocation, I was told it could be a further 21 days to get connected. I cancelled my service. 30 mins after submitting the form on the @Aussie_BB website, my NBN was connected. Customer service folks!

  • maxymedia Scott Maxworthy (@maxymedia) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Hi, was back an hour or so after post but has been on & off over the last few days. Whatever your techs are doing is very frustrating for us poor customers.

  • SarahHurc Sarah Hurcombe (@SarahHurc) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Terrible mistake from @Optus - they made us @TwoTalesCafe switch to NBN last week and changed our number without telling us and we’ve only just found out - really crappy stuff for a long weekend when people will call us to find out if we’re open!!!! Sort it out @Optus

  • clivedickens Clive Dickens (@clivedickens) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @EFTM @trevorlong Hi @trevorlong @optus launched eSIM support for compatible @Apple iPhones and Watches in April 2019. #keepup :)

  • vijayarumugam Vijay Arumugam (@vijayarumugam) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @BigKev67 @vipinbjain Interestingly, Rose Bowl, Bellerive and WACA / Optus are the three venues with poor Test crowds, although Gabba has had some poor crowds of late as well. #savsInd #INDvsSA

  • eastuto Eugene of Astuto 🤔 (@eastuto) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    So how's this for next level bad customer service. @Optus sends a warning notice that services will be restricted of we don't pay $270. Never seen the account number. Wife was on phone every day last week. They couldn't say what it related to. Couldnt provide copy of a bill.

  • Slacko_Mitch Mitchell Vladamotte (@Slacko_Mitch) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @MissCBella @Telstra That’s shit service! I wish I was surprised though. I was just looking at Optus plans. They have free phone upgrades after 12 months. I’d switch if you could. Optus coverage where I live is just as good.

Optus Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • gruntchuck Mark Anderson (@gruntchuck) reported

    Operation Guardian by Oz police to protect 10K compromised Optus customer IDs coz 100 points of ID exposed. Let’s also raise ID reqts to include 1 xtra document? So, 125+ points not 100. Quick to do, comforts those affected and minor inconvenience to the rest #AFP .@ClareONeilMP

  • fs_kev Kevin Ferguson-smith (@fs_kev) reported

    Like to say as an Optus customer I have a lack of trust in the telco as far as I’m concerned that shouldn’t have happened

  • hlen25 Heather (@hlen25) reported

    @saci68 @ClareONeilMP @billshortenmp Same here. Initial email and nothing more since then. I’m not going to change everything, get a new passport etc etc if I don’t have to. It’s been a total **** show from the beginning. Minister, you need to come down hard on Optus everyday until they update us with next steps.

  • PeteRepeatAber Pete Repeat (@PeteRepeatAber) reported

    @SimoneFoxKoob "Optus has not contacted customers"... I received an email from @Optus informing me my personal details had been provided by them without my consent to a hacker and then, nothing else, just crickets. I know this mob has appalling customer service because I ....

  • Ozwhisperer1 OzstralianPusscat🇦🇺🇺🇦 (@Ozwhisperer1) reported

    @6PR Optus has sent me two (2) emails. First was advising some of my details had been hacked and the second was that only my drivers licence details had been hacked, no photo. Since Optus took my details for a new account I cancelled the service after a year and have changed address.

  • ChrisEgginton Chris Egginton (@ChrisEgginton) reported

    @SallyLawry @karenandrewsmp Alas not fixable. The then Minister for Communications Fletcher lowered standards for security and here we are. Damage done. Optus and the former LNP government need to make a public apology to the customer base while they sue.

  • jodstar2000 Jody Crothers (@jodstar2000) reported from Westfield, State of Western Australia

    @Optus I have spent hours on your help app. Conflicting message, SMS My data has been compromised, confirmed by the help desk. Ask for an email to confirm, was told my account hadn't be compromised, had to send screen shots of earlier messages twice to show you had told me I had

  • MisterMyztik Myztik (@MisterMyztik) reported

  • ChrisEgginton Chris Egginton (@ChrisEgginton) reported

    @karenandrewsmp Optus has the call Karen. Last heard the minister had waited days for requested data from Optus which had not been then provided. Stop defending your mates at Optus. Worst telco in Australia before this happened. Now....

  • recneps51 Komrade (@recneps51) reported

    Optus have been charging me $2.20 monthly for using BPay and not Direct Debit. I complained and rejected a one off waiver and said I was going to ombudsman. They rang back today offered 12 months waiver. Offer withdrawn if I go to ombudsman. Lodge complaint with ombudsman people.
