  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!!

  • 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 😡

  • LMT74 Linda Tait (@LMT74) reported

    @Optus Near Sanford, Qld. After hours back and forth, we were told that no short term tech fix was possible. $$ credit somewhat appreciated but doesn't fix work and learn from home

  • faizanjoyia011 faizan (@faizanjoyia011) reported

    @benedict303 @Optus @memonz05 yea also Telstra, TPG, not working, Optus, and youtube is working, I think the company/websites with competitors are not assessable ATM, everything works if I use VPN

  • GoMootyPro Mooty loves his friends No 🧢 (@GoMootyPro) reported

    @ammykwong @Optus Major outage unfortunately. They've just confirmed as above

  • therealjademac Jade MacRae (@therealjademac) reported

    Hey @Optus I’m almost a week overseas without any network coverage now. Apparently my “case manager” is going to be in touch ASAP meanwhile I can’t call you to follow up. Please provide the service I’m paying for

  • BeachGirlJan Whatever makes you happy. JG 🌴⛵🐬🏖🐾🇦🇺 (@BeachGirlJan) reported

    On a mission today. Retrieve my dodgy brand new phone that doesn't work and tell Optus to close my account. Wish me luck.

  • benedict303 Benedict Harris (@benedict303) reported

    @faizanjoyia011 @Optus @memonz05 Can confirm. Same here. Wikipedia, Twitter and 7plus not working but other sites working. This is weird. It's Optus installing some kind of great firewall of China?

  • AliPJFB Alistair Powley (@AliPJFB) reported

    @Optus Terrible service, still charging us for wifi when we’ve cancelled the service months ago and then when we finally get issued a refund, you decline it because the “refund request not eligible”

  • budibudibu KingDre 🇩🇪🇹🇭 (@budibudibu) reported

    @LisaNEdwards @Optus Doesn't penetrate sucks

  • LMT74 Linda Tait (@LMT74) reported

    @Optus clearly out of touch with how critical internet is during #covidlockdown. Just told of 6 day delay due to systems upgrade WTF!!

  • louisillustrate Louis-Étienne Vallée (@louisillustrate) reported

    @Optus Another outage in Neutral Bay!
