  • fulv1977 Fulvio Antonelli (@fulv1977) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Another day, another #nbn outage courtesy of @Optus . If #nbn was a legitimate business it would be investigated by the @acccgovau for its complete mishandling of the entire infrastructure and customers.

  • ppossej Michael Jessopp (@ppossej) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @adam_turner @Aussie_BB I rang @Optus once to report that a fallen tree branch had ripped the phone line from the house and phone support wanted to perform a line diagnostic test and insisted that I power on the modem

  • damethelog A’tuin Sneezed (@damethelog) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    3/ two @Optus guys come. Nope, it’s gotta go in here. Come back a week later. No, the folks down the back need it to do work. Well, ya might need a booster. Ok, I’ll pop down and check.

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

    Once again we are having trouble with our @Optus mobile broadband service .... constantly not working properly. Time to look at the other service providers .....

  • Jarvascious Jarvis Johnson (@Jarvascious) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @domm @jonathannen Lurking but thought I should share - Verizon is the Telstra of US. AT&T is the Optus - OK in cities and bad elsewhere.

  • kelvin_yli 靚仔小圓 (@kelvin_yli) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Very bad signal on train track from Southland Station towards City direction, my girlfriend can’t make WeChat Call and I can’t play Pokémon Go. It never happened before to us. @Optus

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

    @Optus Hi Nard, thanks for the reply. Funny you advise no outages but I was engaging with someone on message/chat who advised there are in fact drop outs in my area. Issue still occurring and will call this morning. Thanks for your help

  • ekanj E.K. (@ekanj) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus our internet has been down for the past 4 hours

  • 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.

  • eileen_1956 Eileen B Kenny (@eileen_1956) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Red_and_Blue26 You might live to rue going to Optus. They have not purchased adequate broadband & the NBN highlights that. 10 weeks with no solution - hello Telstra, bye bye Optus. Not one second of regret, we have not dropped out once in over 3 months with T.

  • 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!

  • fulv1977 Fulvio Antonelli (@fulv1977) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    What a country. 3 straight days of no internet or at best internet dropping in and out. We are in 2019 and this is as good as it gets. @Optus still don’t have a solution!

  • simonshirley72 Simon Shirley (@simonshirley72) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Once again @Optus overcharge, and only back down once WE chase them!!! At least **** Turpin wore a bloody mask!! #robbers

  • 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!

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

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

  • EFCcorrespond The Correspondent (@EFCcorrespond) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus All I want to know is why so many NBN issues when my cable was fine... I had no choice!

  • DynamicDusa Dusa Shah (@DynamicDusa) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus can you please please please bring your call centre back into Australia! The offshore call centre are terrible! They never understand what's going on 🙄

  • kelvin_yli 靚仔小圓 (@kelvin_yli) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Very bad signal on train track from Southland Station towards City direction, my girlfriend can’t make WeChat Call and I can’t play PokémonGo. It never happened before to us. @Optus

  • Evan__Gale Evan Gale (@Evan__Gale) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus Thanks. Checked last night, no planned or unplanned outage. Had 5 hours of zero service.

  • fadesmond Fiona Desmond (@fadesmond) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus please fix your customer service. Spent 30 mins on the phone, interrupting my dinner, with one of your customer service advisors in India. Got nowhere. Please fix. #optusareawful

    @JoshGarlepp Exact same issue with streaming platforms (both: sports - Kayo, Stan Sport, Paramount, Optus Sport etc; and entertainment - Netflix, Stan, Disney, binge, paramount etc)

  • hapast8 Ade (@hapast8) reported

    @AusIndiMedia And Optus still insist on clumsy overseas "support" model and no proper goodwill compensation like free credits etc for this huge spamming we've all been getting

  • RKOZBOY Rob (@RKOZBOY) reported

    @ShitFuckery1 I’m already dealing with the ombudsman over Optus. They are supposed to contact me to sort it out. Not heard a peep for months—they obviously don’t give a ****!! @Optus Big business is busy ripping of their corporate clientele because they in turn rip off us, the little people.

  • campuscodi Catalin Cimpanu (@campuscodi) reported

    Also: -Optus data extortionist sentenced to community service -SecurityScorecard publishes list of 17k IPs used by Killnet -ESXiArgs data can be recovered -Malware reports on Paradies Clipper and Stealerium -Researcher hacks Toyota's global supply portal -New Netgear pre-auth RCE

  • mySMtips Tim Williams (@mySMtips) reported

    @dodo How do I report our company website as being SAFE to Optus? We had an issue a few weeks ago and all problems have been resolved. It is now 100% clean as indicated by Google & 90+ Virus Security Site checkers. It's still being blocked by Optus / Costing us $10-15K a week!

  • BigShotJason Jason Bowers (@BigShotJason) reported

    @Optus I. CAN’T. SETUP. SERVICE. WITHOUT. YOUR. APP. RECOGNIZING. MY. VALID. PASSPORT.

  • kimbstruck Kim (@kimbstruck) reported

    @AyleneinNZ @Optus @kbrspace Thank you, it’s a full on fuxache. Less time with cute animal ads and leaving peoples’ data at bus stops, more time providing a service people pay for.

  • NeeceWulf Neece Lone Wulf (@NeeceWulf) reported

    @sunriseon7 @Optus Tower at Rosemeadow NSW has been worked on for for over a year and half and drops signal daily

  • kimbstruck Kim (@kimbstruck) reported

    trying to set up a conference call - but @Optus hung up on them after keeping them waiting ages. @Optus assured an email would be sent to fix it, but in news that will surprise nobody, least of all me and my daughter, it’s still in limbo.

  • Suzanne26171032 Suzanne North 🇦🇺 🌸 (@Suzanne26171032) reported

    @Optus why is it so hard to talk to a human? 14 days no internet! This is unacceptable! Calling and messaging with no help! I call and I get disconnected? I message and I am constantly repeating myself… I have a case manager I cannot get a response from!
