  • SophiePearse Sophie Pearse (@SophiePearse) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    I’ve phoned @Optus customer service 3 days in a row and you’ve YET to rectify this issue, despite advising you have. This is incredibly poor form, deplorable in fact 😡

  • ReetuMutti Reetu Mutti (@ReetuMutti) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    .@TPG_Telecom Trying to port my TPG no from TPG’s Optus to Vodaphone network. Spent countless hrs calling helpdesk every day, talked to supervisiors, waited days for engineers to investigate. Been waiting 20 DAYS, still not working. This is ridiculous. Fix this!!

  • tmacca_1996 Thomas McKenna (@tmacca_1996) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @Optus @7mate take your ads off appearing as every second one! I will never use your service due to this. Biggest pet peeve, waste of money on your marketing side #idiots #advertising

  • gjblue Greg Blue (@gjblue) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @Hillysfarms @Telstra I reckon telstra coverage in metro areas is third after optus and Vodafone, its terrible here in Newcastle

  • nickintheworld Nick Williams (@nickintheworld) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @a_choros **** Telstra, marry Vodafone, kill Optus... Truth be told I’d prefer to kill Telstra while screaming **** you and have an ongoing FWB with Vodafone and just leave Optus alone

  • carlagrossetti @carlagrossetti (@carlagrossetti) reported from Maitland, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Thanks Nard. What causes an outage that only affects webmail?

  • ajhill_alan Alan Hill (@ajhill_alan) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @perthovalman @kevinperry @TheWorldGame @SBS @ALeague @premierleague @Craig_Foster @LucyZelic A cash-strapped FTA network does its best but has no hope of competing with Foxtel (itself scaling back football coverage in the face of its own financial woes) and Optus. I'd blame the government before pointing a finger at SBS.

  • champion13yron Some accounts you follow often like this Tweeter (@champion13yron) reported

    @Optus oi *****. Why ******** is your service so ****** today. You made a promise

  • kch7777 Last Chance Saloon @LastChanceSaloon@mas.to🏳️‍🌈 (@kch7777) reported

    @Optus I have been trying to cancel 2 services for over 30 mins now. If someone doesn’t respond soon , I am going to cancel the third too.

  • noozchoozy Prize Won (@noozchoozy) reported

    Well, there you go. @optus advertising its self-congratulatory 'it was bad, sure, but we'll fix it' data breach is next-level selective deafness. It shouldn't have happened, tens of thousands affected and the correct response is genuine contrition. Not this ad. Ever.

  • timcarabott Tim Carabott (@timcarabott) reported

    @Optus What is going on with the network? Power is out in my area and for some reason data on iPhone is not working on the Optus network - I’m only able to send this because my work phone is Telstra. Postcode 5073.

  • bbykaat kat (@bbykaat) reported

    @Optus is there an outage around mclaren vale related to the weather? no call signal or data on phones for hours

  • vuatimvui timvui (@vuatimvui) reported

    @Optus nbn down for 2143?

  • neil_borg Neil Borg (@neil_borg) reported

    @Optus I cannot believe the absolutely appalling service my wife & I have received today. Uncooperative call centre telling she has to go instore cause they can’t handle a relocation. I just tried to ring a store 3 times, no answer & shunted to the main service.

  • iibnf iibnf (@iibnf) reported

    Still no phone from @optus. That's a month now. They just ask me my identity 100s of times. I've been to the shop 3 times, spent about 20 hours combined in their chat service, exchanged 100s of emails with their customer service, and all that happens is they send code requests

  • tmandiddly TIM 🤦‍♂️ (@tmandiddly) reported

    @GGrasic ****. Sorry. I haven’t been with Optus for over 10 years but was notified via VicRoads my data was snatched in that hack. So disruptive. VicRoads issuing a new licence.

  • AussieColonizer Brin (@AussieColonizer) reported

    @AlboMP Medibank and Optus are clear Evidence that digital ID's and Currency, Centralised or not, are open to Hacks! The government needs to pass a bill ensuring cash will never be phased out, and that Banks will never again be rescued by way of Taxpayer or Industry monies!
