    @Optus I’ll send a DM as this does not need to be public. I did feel the need to use this platform to help draw attention to a process that fundamentally failed a customer though. Will reply to the thread for all later once resolved to confirm the outcome/experience of the DM discussion

    @SJOBrien8906 @Optus Useless huh. I currently cannot talk about issues I am having.

  • PriceyJohnDoe John Price (@PriceyJohnDoe) reported

    Argh 2nd NBN outage in 2 days. This time a notification from the ISP to say up to 3 hours offline. Thank goodness for my @optus tethering and lots of data available this month. On the upside: good excuse not to have video on for zoom calls today!

  • Fsn8Me FSN8ME (@Fsn8Me) reported

    @pxviet1997 @Optus No storm here in Perth wa and no internet due to upgrade of the tower that’s gonna take 7 days to fix lol

  • SeraphsSixWings Seraphim🔞 (@SeraphsSixWings) reported

    Seriously, clear ******* skies, four bars of internet, and somehow Optus still can't give me stable service. ******* hate how **** the internet is in Australia. Lived here my whole life and when I actually need it for work, I can't use it.

    Ah I see @optus are coping* well** with the power outage in my suburb, when everyone suddenly starts using their mobile data

  • tabitafrom30 chasemoneynotniggas (@tabitafrom30) reported

    My mums spent over $80 this past week on Optus recharge, do I cancel my card, it’s linked to her phone?????

  • krunchymoses Joel Hill (@krunchymoses) reported

    @Optus Why don't you answer the phone. 35 mins and counting. Why doesn't live chat work? Why are you so terrible?!??

  • SJOBrien8906 𝕾𝖙𝖊𝖕𝖍𝖊𝖓 🏴‍☠️ (@SJOBrien8906) reported

    @emm_fry @Optus Yep, generally when one issue gets "fixed" another one isn't far away.
