  @Telstra This tweet brought to you by me piggy backing off my Optus phones fully functional mobile network data. Eftpos machines are unable to do this. So any work around has to come from Telstra or I have to get the bank to change to Optus.

  @Optus I have been trying to contact support regarding unexpected OPTUS PREPAID charges but have not received a response. Could someone please assist urgently?

  @TaniaLe89811601 @realRick_AUS @SenstiveHearts I'm near the airport, very strong winds but a few planes still taking off. Wondering if they will cancel the Eagles game at Optus?

  @jobsta @SBS Cant even get the app to stream the game, reminds me of the massive Optus fail

  Hey @Optus how is it that I cannot pay you MORE money to add a device to my plan because of a "contract limitation" I was never told about to begin with. Worst customer experience I've ever had, will be cancelling all my services as will my friends and family.

  Here is the kicker. I was there b/c my father has Parkinson and border line Dementia which Abu knew at 383 George St. Abu tried to get the attention of the manager who was with a customer along with another Optus colleague and he brushed Abu away without even acknowledging Abu. Being also brushed off angrily by the guy at World Trade Square (witnessed by another angry customer) and had not opened the store at required time only shows Optus has a serious cultural problem which I’m sure Ben Fordam at 2GB will find interesting tomorrow when I email him.

  @ImOneWithTheKop @MikeGBurner @mleppard11 I’m sure they would, but the bidding requires at least seven existing stadiums be used out of 14. So we would need more than just Optus The FFA were certainly considering using the MCG in their potential 2034 bid that never materialised

  @NBN_Australia Another internet free night because you and Optus won't fix whatever makes our internet drop out regularly. FTTP in 2026 but we'd get better connection in South Sudan.

  @SSendybez8 @MelbourneBlokee Exactly this. WTF. It’s worse than Stan/Optus

  I'm currently running a backup SIM in my phone. The number has never been put online, anywhere. And yet I got two spam calls today. That ain't a bot dialing random numbers. The number was recently transferred from Optus to Dodo. My number leaked out somewhere, how?

  @TVTV494601 @OliverTrenchard Things can be free and still be awful. Back when Optus sport had the rights their app was great. You’d happily pay the $15 because it was a good service.
