    @DarrenKilminst1 @Mr_Brown__ @OptusSport I already pay enough for streaming. With Optus Sport I got it as part of my phone plan so never had to pay extra.

  • REDRAWRADIO RedRaw Radio (@REDRAWRADIO) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra do you go out of you to employ rude arrogant #sassholes at your #Unley store? The rolling of eyes when you ask a question, “are you ready now?” to a waiting customer, no manners or patience Are they #BasilFawlty ‘s offspring? @Optus is looking real good to transfer to

  • bcurrall80 Blake Currall (@bcurrall80) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    So my Optus 4G mobile phone is currently running at a solid 30Mb/Sec but the home broadband, also Optus 4G, is running at a bloody terrible 451kB/Sec. What the ever living **** is this nonsense?

  • phazzles OnlyPhazz (@phazzles) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Network connectivity at Mardi Gras is spotty at best @Telstra @Optus @VodafoneAU

  • sokyola87 Sunny Sok (@sokyola87) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @KevinAirs I have been with Optus for 20 years, never have I ever gotten reception at a stadium with Optus unless it was when I got to the stadium early enough before the start of the match or concert or the crowd was a small number of under 10K

  • desmond_last DESMOND LAST (@desmond_last) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus I am a Security Officer at Liverpool Hospital Sydney - Why do I keep losing mobile network connection?

  • KateBrowne7 Kate Browne (@KateBrowne7) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Hey @Optus I cannot make calls without the voice cutting out every few seconds on the call at both ends. Are you having an outage in inner west of Sydney? Thanks.

  • michael48439600 michael hitchcock (@michael48439600) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    IPrimus dodo Telstra and Optus worked together to fake a fault on my phone so a technician was called to fix it. Then they got Dun and Bradstreet to hassle me to collect a payment

  • JulianCevaal Julian Cevaal (@JulianCevaal) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus is the internet down in wheeler heights nsw 2097. Please advise.

  • BradleyWDeacon Bradley Deacon (MAISA)🇦🇺 (@BradleyWDeacon) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Great service @Optus for my home Internet, it’s a massive improvement compared to what I experienced with @Telstra I can now connect less than 24 hours from placing order and saving $30 per month! #winwin

  • thetowncrier Jason Whittaker (@thetowncrier) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    For about a week now I’ve been getting texts up to 12 hours after they’re sent (@Optus). Is that, you know, likely to just fix itself ...?

  • ptovey01 Phillip Tovey (@ptovey01) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    **** you @Optus. Supposedly I have an NBN modem that has 4G connection, but there ain't no connection. One of the worst decisions to come to Optus. Seriously annoyed by you guys, can't get anything right.

  • realmicturner Michael Turner (@realmicturner) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @sgardz91 A lot. The Waratahs are crap, the Reds are playing well. Sonny Bill is a pundit and figures are up. What’s evident is you have no idea what you are talking about if you genuinely think somehow Optus will have a higher national reach than Australia’s largest TV/Media network.

  • bettingkingz9 Betting Kingz (@bettingkingz9) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @ConvertedCode_1 You guys don’t have optus? That sucks man 🥺

  • thatdesigner that designer (@thatdesigner) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    How the hell am I supposed to work from home with no internet? You didn’t call? You didn’t write? You didn’t email? Just CUT the service?? Needless to say I’ll be returning the phone you want to charge me for ASAP and moving all of my services elsewhere. 😡 #optus #yes? #Nope!

  • thatdesigner that designer (@thatdesigner) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    What a fail @Optus. I wanted to upgrade my phone months ago but you wanted $600 to buy out the lease agreement. Then two months ago you charge me that anyway and don’t send a notification. Which leaves my account overdue then you cut off both my NBN and mobile? Wtf!

  • thepiedwanderer Joan Wilder (@thepiedwanderer) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Lol. Clearly you have read this thread closely...I am thinking of changing services TO @Optus. Am starting to wonder if all AU providers do is blanket responses rather than customer service.

  • johnnysockz 〰️Johnny Sockz 🗨 😷〰️ (@johnnysockz) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Hello Optus ..can you help me . Not only have I contacted you many times to terminate a service you keep sending me a bill for it this goes back to Oct 2020 Can you help me

  • BMOUSA1 Maurice B (@BMOUSA1) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Is there an internet outage in Chester Hill?

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MalBJones Mal B Jones 🇦🇺 (@MalBJones) reported

    Received an email from Telstra giving me advice on how to improve my security after the Optus issue yet they haven’t responded to my request enquiring if they stored my personal information. The problem is not my computer/phone security.

  • shiraj_sen Shiraj Sen (@shiraj_sen) reported

    So, @VicRoads rep says that they cannot change my license number because they need court orders to do so. Also, they have 50k applications... This is after @Optus has emailed me yesterday stating that my license number has been definitely compromised. #auspol #vicpol #wtf

  • Rubicon_NZ ppilFƎd 🏇 🇦🇺 🇳🇿 (@Rubicon_NZ) reported

    @RachGuth3 @Optus Having enough trouble with iinet getting the internet restored #frustrating

  • gmase2020 Geoff Mason (@gmase2020) reported

    @nanologies @Optus I couldn’t even get my Apple Music to stream. I had 5G coverage too. Shocking. None of your issues are surprising, unfortunately

  • MrFakeStreet TJ Kickass (@MrFakeStreet) reported

    @abcnews Oh **** off ABC. If an Optus data breach stops you from doing anything, let alone buying a house, then youre a complete twit.

  • nanologies Ms Angus (@nanologies) reported

    @gmase2020 @Optus Thx. spend too much time troubleshooting Optus - 2 months of inconsistent signal, faulty tower services in my neighbourhood, effected me daily to the point I couldn't do my job, data breach (!!!) & now can't even provide me an accurate figure on my billings???

  • MJB19004302 MJB (@MJB19004302) reported

    @Optus is there an issue with your services at the moment? Or are the problems I’m having related to the fact you allowed a breach of my personal details??

  • optoio OptoIsolated IO (@optoio) reported

    So the Governments solution to the Optus data leak is to... GIVE THE DATA TO THIRD PARTIES?!?!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

  • cfreezle CHANEL (@cfreezle) reported

    So Optus limited my services even though the TIO said they aren’t supposed to, I couldn’t call or text anyone except Optus of course, nor could I use my internet, had to sit on the phone with Optus for an hour to have my service reinstated until a certain date

  • KurtsViews Kurt Michael (@KurtsViews) reported

    @QuentinDempster @MRowlandMP @JEChalmers The data thieves arnt the issue. This wasn't a sophisticated "hack" of any sort, this was all due to negligence by Optus. They held actual user data on an open test network that wasn't properly secured. It was just a matter of time - Optus should be held liable #OptusHack
