  • 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.

  • 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 🙄

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • _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...

  • 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!

  • _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 😩

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

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

  • 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!

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

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

  • 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.

    @Optus fix your ****

  • freshtonic James Sadler (@freshtonic) reported

    @tobermatt Most likely not. Turns out that both telstra phones in our house are uncallable via an Optus phone. This seems like an Optus problem.

    @Optus hi optus, I am not able to make any calls, error message saying the phone number I am calling is disconnected. Have tried several different numbers. Is there an outage in Albury?

  • bonesooo 👻 (@bonesooo) reported

    @Optus fix your service. Cannot make phone calls. People do not have home phones these days and need to use their mobiles to call. Seriously
