  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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 .....

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • _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...

  • catherrrinex Cac (@catherrrinex) reported

    Optus Sport all I have to say is **** yourselves

  • agroasx AGRO ⚡️🔋 (@agroasx) reported

    @Optus your customer service is an absolute joke. I was told that my plan would be placed on hold only to be debited a monthly fee. I have raised a complaint about this as well!

  • AnitaHeiss Prof Anita Heiss AM (@AnitaHeiss) reported

    Slow clap for @Optus still sending out bills to customers but no other emails related to the data breach.

  • Hillyhobbit Hilly #MaintainTheRage #TripleVaccinated (@Hillyhobbit) reported

    Massive raspberry to @Optus for their awful protection of my data. Why did you need to keep it anyway? BUT massive bouquet to Services SA Modbury for updating my driver's licence in less than 30 minutes. Big thank you to @PMalinauskasMP for making this happen. #OptusHack

  • nimoraki95 Espresso95 (@nimoraki95) reported

    @Optus I have already checked it through your site and they have been assessing the device since early last week! Not sure why it takes so long to assess the device, not even fix it

  • AdelinaBasile Adelina Basile (@AdelinaBasile) reported

    So tired of paying monthly for crap internet. 5 years of useless Telstra NBN TTN which didn't work because copper wires degraded. Now, Optus wireless can't even stream IView. Scared to lock in to anything else, or too expensive

  • kevinklehr 𝕂𝕖𝕧𝕚𝕟 𝕂𝕝𝕖𝕙𝕣🕺 🏳️‍🌈 (@kevinklehr) reported

    @AnitaHeiss @Optus Yikes. A friend of mine had his identity stolen by people who applied for new credit cards. Fortunately he has a really bad credit rating so they didn't get far with their applications.

  • carolinerannard caroline (@carolinerannard) reported

    this optus thing has really screwed me at work (i am not an optus customer but i am its biggest victim)

  • troyhunt Troy Hunt (@troyhunt) reported

    @jroper My summation: 1) Significant portion of population included 2) Identity documents 3) Massive issues around data retention 4) Raises identity proof issues 5) Ransom and gradual leaking of data 6) Extraordinarily bad response by Optus

  • barryrutherford Barry Rutherford | Parkrun fan (@barryrutherford) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @AnitaHeiss @Optus I’ve had two emails confirming my data had been breached even though I haven’t been a customer since 2005
