  • _domchantal Domonique (@_domchantal) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @capt_collins21 @Optus I work there too and I, and others I work with are all having the same problem 😩

  • Cruiizin Cruiizin (@Cruiizin) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @NBN_Australia down at the new place, now the dreaded one hour call with @Optus

  • _domchantal Domonique (@_domchantal) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus no one seems to be able to get any service with Optus at Melbourne airport. Multiple of us having the same problem. Half the time it’s on SOS even...

  • stirlospace 𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚛𝚕𝚘.𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚌𝚎 (@stirlospace) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @sandylanceley @CouchNish @MelbPTUser @melissakp @australian @Singtel They can not run a 3/4G network to save themselves and I cannot see why anyone still pays them / or why they’re in business. But I guess change is tricky for most. Getting off Optus was the best battery and speed boost I’ve had—like a new phone! 🤣 they’re shocking

  • juleshughan Julia Hughan (@juleshughan) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus Infrastructure issues. Good to know we are still being charged for videos that won’t render.

  • asteroidproject Damian Marley🚀 (@asteroidproject) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus you are just as bad. Tried connecting via you but you cancelled order 4 times, hence trying Telstra again.

  • juleshughan Julia Hughan (@juleshughan) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Just signed a 24 month contract. My @Optus coverage has been down for most of the day. Awesome $70 spent on service being down and false promises of data usage.

  • ShortBlokeJosh Short Bloke Josh! (@ShortBlokeJosh) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Sorry, my bad. It's from 2002. It's an optus advertising cardboard cut out from that year around the world cup...

  • j_foreigner jonnyforeigner (@j_foreigner) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Optus are currently paying ~$50m/year for the EPL streaming rights and charge $15/month to subscribers. Now not everyone pays that fee (I never have), but let’s assume that every mobile customer’s monthly bill has that subscription built in and funds go towards content

  • cptwoodsy Tristan 🌱 (@cptwoodsy) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus yesterday while at work at the Dandenong south site, I and half the factory had very poor service. Turns out you are working on a tower near us. Til December. Do we have to deal with this til then cos it’s really affecting my job!

  • juleshughan Julia Hughan (@juleshughan) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Yep, @optus 4G Wirelesss down again.

  • DavoGunner Davo (@DavoGunner) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Optus your buffering is very poor. Consistent buffering and delays. Seriously considering to cancel my long term contract. After 2-3 odd years nothing has changed. @OptusSport

  • NavalGeekSingh Navaldeep Singh (@NavalGeekSingh) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus is worst than the @reliancejio .

  • Tony_3163 Tony (@Tony_3163) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus Disappointing that 5G not working this morning - two dropouts then stopped. Murrumbeena Tower.

  • cindyn *Cindy N* 🤔 (@cindyn) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus my iPhone XR is repeatedly dropping out and telling me there is no SIM installed. This is happening all over Melbourne. I was on a call with a recruiter on Monday and it cut out 6 times in 10mins. Others can’t get through at all - tells them I’m not available. Help!

  • sportpaul Paul Walsh (@sportpaul) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus and @NBN_Australia are a disgrace! WiFi is down, I was told to be home between 8-12 for a tech visit. 3 pm still no one. I call @optus ‘Oh yeah, probably won’t happen today!’ HOPELESS!! #optu5g #NBN #Christmas #wtfock #optusfail #lmreallypissed

  • fionashirley76 Fiona Shirley (@fionashirley76) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Really @optus .. again!! 😩 on live chat trying to sort out whether I can upgrade or get some sort of incentive to stay with you due to lack of service & was told I’m being transferred to someone who can help .. that was 15 min ago and no one has replied to messages sent since!

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

    4 drop outs in service with @Optus NBN in the space of an hour. Even with a new modem installed last night. If this continues throughout today, I’ll be disconnecting my service, without penalties and moving to another provider.

  • stokers26 stokers (@stokers26) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Nice work @optus. Tried your call back service which disconnected me both times.the second one was after being put on hold for 3 minutes. I stayed on hold and got connected on my 3rd attempt. Quality service!

  • lesposen lesposen (@lesposen) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    I’m about 1km south of an @Optus 5G service. I have no 3G/4G service I can rely on currently so have to use wifi calling. NBN or Optus router goes down weekly so I’m left on a desert island. iPhone 12 with 5G comes in November. Here’s hoping 5G will arrive by then #gamechanger

  • trelord75 trelord (@trelord75) reported

    @selenatorinbldg @Optus Different addresses compared to actual website, first off - DON'T PAY A DAMN THING.

  • rovingrob Rob Scriva (@rovingrob) reported

    @Aussie_BB @Optus Can I lodge a complaint about network coverage to ABB?

  • ceIegorm katie (@ceIegorm) reported

    optus is so **** and slow I hope they know I hate them

  • Birute_62 @Birute_62 (@Birute_62) reported

    @Optus 11.44pm. I have to stay awake. Terrified due to no safety Alarm activation option. Disconnected ph at 8pm! Office shut. Service Aust pay you fortnightly to avoid this disaster but you do not act. Now what? I'm a carer. Not waiting for social call!

  • An0therLFCfan Ben (@An0therLFCfan) reported

    @Optus I have never dealt with a more incompetent and devious company in all my life living in the UK and Australia. Your worker lied and misled at the point of sale for broadband (even his manager said this). Sent me the wrong product & billed me for both it & the replacement.

  • SamLindo2 Sam Lindeman (@SamLindo2) reported

    Optus asking if they’ve ‘fully satisfied my concerns’ at the end of a 45 minute call explaining that their service is just still not really working for a few more weeks is pretty funny. Hey mate we came to fix the toilet but accidentally broke the shower hope it’s all g?

  • Ch93470644 Ch (@Ch93470644) reported

    New to optus prepaid mobile, has been complete nightmare. 3days for delivery 2days to activate sim On wrong cheaper plan than already paid. Waiting Waiting for customer service....

  • OmgIAmOver30 Laura (@OmgIAmOver30) reported

    Not saying this for me. My complaint is over and the restaurant is Menulogs problem I think. But it's increasingly frustrating how hard it is to speak to a human with most corporations now (Hai @Optus). Real complaints will go unheard.

  • alan_in_oz Alan Barlow (@alan_in_oz) reported

    @Optus I cant even send you information because the stupid MyOptus app is "System unavailable due to technical difficulties" and all the information is on that app. FYI my address is 955 Moggill Rd, phone service is 0738785858 That should be enough for you.

  • esesesse Nurse ‘Vax x 3’ Ratched (@esesesse) reported

    Over 24 hours of dealing with Optus Support and it's not going well. Not well at all.
