  • BMac_TLDR Brian MacNamara (@BMac_TLDR) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Dear @optus your cable Internet has been down all day, is there any chance of getting an update as to how much longer it will be

  • lachgriffiths Lachie (@lachgriffiths) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Telstra It may be officially time to jump boat to OPTUS, not ideal situation but after the last 3 months of my Internet randomly going down for days at time with no explanation the frustration is a 10/10.

  • MissDRidders Donna Ridley (@MissDRidders) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus That’s for that - there was a tower outage

  • PaulJohnHodgson Paul Hodgson (@PaulJohnHodgson) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Sad to say goodbye to Virgin Mobile Australia after many years of exceptional service. Yesterday and today I have had 3 unsuccessful live chats and 1 unsuccessful call to @Optus to activate a new SIM and port my son’s mobile number. Still have no idea what’s going on.

  • raymanoz Raymond Barlow (@raymanoz) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @alan_in_oz @SelW08 @Optus What BS! Pretty sure they will refund you for the days of no-service.

  • BMac_TLDR Brian MacNamara (@BMac_TLDR) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus Hi Vicky it is 4114, am I reading it correctly that our service will be out for 5 days due to maintenance

  • ChersCherpman Chapmanden (@ChersCherpman) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Optus is possibly one of the worst internet providers 😂 0.06mbps

  • AlexJSmithy Alex Smith (@AlexJSmithy) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Ok so @Optus kills off @virginmobile and make all customers switch to #Optus. The process has been a total stuffup. Hours spent on chat and then they cancel #Virgin service before Optus works. Oh and then it takes yet another chat. Makes @Telstra look amazing #pissedoff

  • lukerhn Luke (@lukerhn) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    It’s taken 30min via @Optus livechat to reset a password and setup online billing. Never thought I’d say this but @Telstra is actually better at customer service

  • mycrouch Jason Crouch (@mycrouch) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus No it’s not. I’m demonstrating the difference between your previous cable service and nbn FttN

  • paypontAU Paypont (@paypontAU) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus Our mobile broadband service is still down. More than 24 hours now.... says connected to Optus 4G but cannot browse any websites - local or overseas. Have power recycled - no improvements. Rang your call centre - on hold for 80 mins before giving up.

  • Dnball62 David (@Dnball62) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @David_TaskerIR @Optus Why does it take a posting on Twitter to get them moving. People are fed up with poor performance from these large telco companies!

  • sonyantony Sony Antony (@sonyantony) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Optus Internet ,you’re are the terrible home internet service provider i have ever used . Can’t even reach your customer service. @Optus

  • pmgee76 Peter Gee (@pmgee76) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    The worse customer service around. @Optus

  • dansheps_ MurfasaurusRex (@dansheps_) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus This is still a major issue... dont you run isolation tests before doing major upgrades.. im hoping this cost your millions in lost revenue if not billions.

  • GuinnessGirl13 Helena 📺⚽🌻🎶🇮🇪☘ (@GuinnessGirl13) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus I have to say your customer experience is non existent by phone. It is pretty much impossible to speak to human being or find a number to get through to. I call sales to try and got left on hold for 10 mins. I hung up #NotHappyJan

  • sonyantony Sony Antony (@sonyantony) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus Seems like its somewhat okay now . Home internet was too slow .thanks for the reply . Appreciate your effort.

  • SucCess0783 Mark Cecil (@SucCess0783) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Dear @Optus telling us you have system issues and we need to call back in 3hrs after having ongoing internet issues for over 2 months is not good enough. How about you show your customers some #customerservice and call us back. We will be going elsewhere #poorservice #Internet

  • jimmcslim James Webster (@jimmcslim) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus My Account login is dangerously broken at the moment, I was just logged in as some other user. An attempt to log back in is now resulting in an infinite loop.

  • gb7004 greg bradley (@gb7004) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Congratulations @Optus you have the WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE and as for your ‘Help Desk’ they to would win awards for incompetence.

    @finkotology LITERALLY !!!! optus shut ******** up challenge 🙏🙏

  • Benyaep Ben Yaep (@Benyaep) reported

    Seriously @Optus . You know how bad your reception is when I have to angle my phone around to locate a spot with at least 2 bars to get internet. What age are we living in ? The stone age?

  • vitalwaterman Paulie (@vitalwaterman) reported

    @Optus after 40 minutes on hold, your automated phone attendant told me your technical support dept is experiencing technical problems and then ended the call...

  • finkotology fal | :3 era (@finkotology) reported

    STFU OPTUS I DONT CARE IF YOURE UPGRADING **** AROUND MY AREA SHUT UP!!!!!

  • vijayarumugam Vijay Arumugam (@vijayarumugam) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @BigKev67 @ianrobo1 @gisby_marc Adelaide day tests used to attract 30-35K for Ashes. Now, 50K is too big, despite D/N. Optus will never have 60k, unless Barmy Army fills up 30K. Gabba is good for 20K. But the capacity is 42K.

  • jordan732 Jordan (@jordan732) reported

    Optus is VOLTE down in 2756 area my calls keep going to 3g

  • real_xye xye (@real_xye) reported

    @Optus @lee_birdy **** that shitty maintenance! The maintenance is meant to be providing customers with stable and quality service, but @optus is **** all their best to kick customers out!

  • testok51981 tariq (@testok51981) reported

    @Optus is optus my account down?

  • debbieschipp Debbie Schipp (@debbieschipp) reported

    Still waiting for a service in Zetland @optus. You know - the one down since Nov 23 that was supposed to be sorted by today. That one???

  • Andyroper6 Andy roper (@Andyroper6) reported
