  • samf_66 Sam (@samf_66) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @NBN_Australia @Optus NBN HFC 6 weeks of daily multiple dropouts. 4 NBN tech visits + 1 Optus & the issue is still not resolved. Optus modem replaced, NTD replaced, F-connectors replaced but tech not permitted check the connection on the street. Farcical!

  • brandonlung_ brandon (@brandonlung_) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @lavosaurus Oh shit that’s decent! A while back I saw Optus doing a specia that was $40 for 80gb, so that’s what I’m realllly hoping for eventually. Also just realised my plan ends in October so your way might be able to happen sooner than later haha

  • Tur71e Brett Turville (@Tur71e) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus my 4G broadband at #stafford is so bad. Either that or the @Huawei modem. Not an isolated event. Really question the advertising around super fast 4g. Every night a snail pace speed. #nbn #broadband #nombps #slowinternet

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

    @Optus Bit hit and miss. If I turn airplane mode on and off it reconnects just fine. I’ve also reset my phones network settings. It’s happened a couple of times today. I’ll monitor it.

  • MCooperAus Michael Cooper (@MCooperAus) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @NBN_Australia leasing @Telstra copper with @Optus as a retailer is a perfect example of how three providers is not better than one. A lot of 👉👈 finger pointing as to who has the issue all the while the customer (me) with awful internet....#sortitout

  • WhiplashUnited Mickey Dee (@WhiplashUnited) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Can’t even watch a five minute video because .@optus is useless. Worse still it’s NBN.I pay $85 month for a failing service. Rort.

  • neilmaddo10 Neil Maddison (@neilmaddo10) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Trying to get hooked up to @Optus nbn... Monday they said, now it won’t be. Ready for two weeks of arguing like last time. Customer service is not at all important to them.

  • LesStonehouse Politic@l Spinner (@LesStonehouse) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Telstra @Optus.. Please help my darling wife I miss her 😢 #auspol #NBN

  • Dr_Xiang_Li Xiang Li 李翔 (@Dr_Xiang_Li) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @martinalexsmith @TWBredy Jealous，locked in for another 6 month with this optus ADSL service...

  • WhiplashUnited Mickey Dee (@WhiplashUnited) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus even when you send a new modem I have the same problems. This is just getting ridiculous now.

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

    @Telstra Matthew, thanks for the offer but @Telstra mobile coverage is so poor at my house that extra data is not much use. In fact I have to rely on wificalling to use the mobile. Fortunately our other mobiles are on @Optus which has great coverage.

    @TWBredy @martinalexsmith ...... OPTUS so slow

  • hillyshoist Hilly73 (@hillyshoist) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    If your after some useless customer support look no further than #Apple and #optus another cracked screen and no assistance. Looks like #telstra and #Samsung will be the winners here

  • samf_66 Sam (@samf_66) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @NBN_Australia The problem is the techs that are sent won’t check the connection on the street. They change something internally for no good reason and report back that the fault is fixed which it is not. I go back to @Optus and the same process happens again.

  • brandonlung_ brandon (@brandonlung_) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @lavosaurus Ooh that’s sick! Someone told me to complain about my wifi being shit (Optus as well) and they’ll give me free stuff, so maybe I do both and get all the benefits haha

  • LemStar71 Lema Niumata Noel (@LemStar71) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    I’m so disappointed with your service tonight @Optus, chatted with 3 people who disconnected on me 3 times, I just called & the guy said he cldn’t access my details to call back in 2hrs. We haven’t been able to get connection. #nothappy

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

    @Telstra It has a yargi rooftop antenna. Installer says the issue is alignment of distant cells and jumping from one to other and dropping out. Have 4 bars on Optus.

  • Better4Brisbane @Better4Brisbane (@Better4Brisbane) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus Thanks but your service has been awful. What you could do is not sell people in West End/Toowong postcodes your data products when you KNOW your infrastructure in the area is at capacity with speeds below 2MBps. I got speeds 10x faster in Bali. @Optus @telstra

  • GregStonham GregStonham (@GregStonham) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @cathywilcox1 @Optus I hope they're a having a good hard look at themselves after loosing my phone 18 days ago, and refusing me a loan phone, refusing to suspend my network access charges and refusing to replace the original handset, which was still under warranty

  • DanHanney Daniel Hanney ⚽ ✈ (@DanHanney) reported

    @battledinosaur Pity we have to pay another $15 for a streaming service to watch it. Shame Optus didn't get it

  • CobGu3 Jacob Guthrie (@CobGu3) reported

    I honestly think over the past 3 months, my phone has had no service more than it's had service. And we're located in the dead centre of Wagga. Would've thought @Optus would have courtesy to notify customers of outages. #optus #optout

  • asylumgc8 AsylumGC8 - The undiscovered celebrity. (@asylumgc8) reported

    @LegacyOCE @Optus Except for the fact that it's @Optus It'll be overpriced by 70% and available in full service to MAYBE 6 users across Australia.

  • ThirteenJun 13 Jun (@ThirteenJun) reported

    @Optus We have already done that twice. No explanation and no indication when the outage will be repaired. Thx for reply though.

  • obi_bongkenobi subconsciously unconscious (@obi_bongkenobi) reported

    Me: I have an issue with my bill @Optus : don’t worry, we have charged you more than your bill. But rest assured we will correct it in our next month bill Me (*next month*): still you have charged me wrong @Optus: don’t worry next bill we will correct it

  • wf66 Warren (wf6@mastodon.social) still tweeting (@wf66) reported

    @Optus Please have your 3rd service @gomoau accept ID Verifications for those who don't drive and travel to other countries. You accept Keypass, Proof of Age Card, Medicare Card and Credit/Debit Card I was wondering why the Gomo doesn't have the same ID Verification system?

  • ScottyDontTwit ScottyDont (@ScottyDontTwit) reported

    @asylumgc8 @LegacyOCE @Optus And that it’s something that should already be apart of the service. Not an add on.

  • KingCalmette Calmette Lahoud (@KingCalmette) reported

    @Optus Prepaid is **** would not send sms very strange

  • smellyheadz Joel (@smellyheadz) reported

    @Optus It's not an outage issue, it's a coverage problem. It's happened every single day for the last 8 years. Your 3g/4g service doesn't cover the train line between Strathfield and Redfern.

  • AFH7777 Farid Hassani (@AFH7777) reported

    @Optus My bad jack meant group h the one united are in, usually they are up on the optus app pretty quick after the match so was just abit weird, not a big deal jack but fair play mate 10/10 customer service
