    @Optus Sarah, I've just received an SMS from NBNCO confirming their appointment tomorrow so let's just wait and see. There's a TIO complaint already in progress about Optus' mishandling of this issue so let's just see how the NBN visit plays out for now.

  • OiRyles Oi Ryles Bro 🥭 (@OiRyles) reported

    @Optus when is your service going to be usable for more than 2 days?

  • itsagrandollife stay at home dad (@itsagrandollife) reported

    @Telstra goolwa north 4G has gone from average to 0 in the last two days. Look at the data downloaded over the last week in goolwa, its impacting everyone. @Optus open to challenge the telstra hegemony down here. #battleforreception

  • BankingFatties Fat Stack Banker (@BankingFatties) reported

    @Optus @OptusSport Then don't advertise to me when I'm paying for the service. Wtf don't you understand about this?

  • ArmarniBulkani Armarni B🍑🍦 ONLYFANS 😘 BRISBANE 😘 fullyvaxed💦 (@ArmarniBulkani) reported

    @Optus Why is it every scammer that messages with these stupid parcel / voicemail link is an optus number?. You guys should be held responsible for damages ppl incur as you are giving out phone numbers like toys in a cereal box... It's honestly so annoying. Fix your sign up process.

  • fortisgreenman Fortis Green (@fortisgreenman) reported

    @Optus Hey @Optus why say “available 24/7” in your Twitter bio… seriously. Online supposed tech support saying I will “probably get a call tomorrow or in next 48 hours” also no case number? just not good enough when trying to work from home and Optus NBN FTTC box has stopped working

  • MiseryPlague 𝔪𝔦𝔰𝔢𝔯𝔶 🥀 (@MiseryPlague) reported

    @BirnoOCE @Optus I contacted their support team almost 2 weeks ago bc my net was constantly crashing (including during a tourney & streams). twice they’ve responded and said they’ll be with me in a few mins then I don’t hear a response back at all.💀 like I just wanna cancel my plan pls.

  • paulknox77 Paul Knox (@paulknox77) reported

    Hey @Optus , after lightning fried my nbn modem I spend ages trying to convince your tech people I needed a new one and was told I’d get a call back in 24-36 hours. Hasn’t happened, and I’m facing work on Monday without internet. Help?

  • Loverbalguy2000 Hamis - Aubrish - ALL BUSINESS FOR UK & AUSTRALIA (@Loverbalguy2000) reported

    im definetely looking at buying optus. but i will look to expand its footprint in asia by launching new satellites in asia and dumping FOR A FEE. the australian customer base to a new entrant to the australian arena, whoever that is?

  • YeetThouSelf chophie (@YeetThouSelf) reported

    @Optus My partner tried calling your tech support and that number didn't even work, tried going through sales and you put him on hold for almost an hour. Do better. We shouldn't be paying an arm and a leg for piss weak service.
