  • tiges_rule Susan Luber (@tiges_rule) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus has the worst customer service ever. I tried to organise nbn through their online chat and they flat out lied to me in order to get my business.

  • iDineshRoy Dinesh Kumar Roy (@iDineshRoy) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Hello @Optus, I am at Osway St, Broadmeadows VIC. The internet is too slow. It has been slow for a long time.

  • AdamTho88718953 Adam Thompson (@AdamTho88718953) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus then i to top it off ever since my adsl2+, got changed I have had 6 drop outs this weekend lucky if it stays on for 1-2 hours this is a disgrace. Then I’ll end up on no bloody network which I’m guessing it will be WORSE.!!!!

  • Stephen02721621 Stephen (@Stephen02721621) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus @HuaweiMobileAU Try connecting me a fkn phone line - 1 month no phone - you guys suck so bad

  • StepmeisterOz Snickers (@StepmeisterOz) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Well after 15 years it’s see ya @Optus & hello @Telstra I can’t believe in 2019 Optus cannot provide a 4G service in Prahran & they don’t have any plans to upgrade that black spot either. It baffles me. Oh well, a complaint to the TIO means I pay nothing to leave. #ByeFelicia

  • abcoathup Andrew B Coathup (@abcoathup) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus Hi, I tried phoning 131344 to report from my mobile but the signal dropped out. Still no phone line or internet.

  • Paul_Coniglio Paul_In_Melb (@Paul_Coniglio) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @cooksey_ben @Optus Ben we are in 3195 and our cable net down too. Colleague in parkdale reporting no mobile phone coverage on Optus either in 3195.

  • mattdarveniza Matt (@mattdarveniza) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @mipearson My Optus DSL has been dropping PPPoE auth and DNS once every couple of hours for the last few months and I haven’t tried to fix it because I know contacting Optus about it is such a ***********.

  • julianprice_ Julian Price (@julianprice_) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus, help! My nbn isn’t working. I’ve tried the old “off and on again” trick and I can’t see any outages in my area. Can’t get through to technical support “too busy”.

  • jiawhoo cheah (@jiawhoo) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus hello 👋 why is it so hard to reach optus, called twice with no return calls:( I received my nbn & router yesterday morning but the nbn has been blinking the whole day. Need help!

  • themediapod Ross Monaghan (@themediapod) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @mjrowland68 @BreakfastNews I was getting faster speeds on the Optus cable network 15 years ago. NBN means slower and more expensive service in my area.

  • abcoathup Andrew B Coathup (@abcoathup) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus Mobile reception is poor. Will deal with it tomorrow.

  • tiges_rule Susan Luber (@tiges_rule) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus And I have spoken to nbnco themselves and they have confirmed that you are flat out lying to me. The times available depend on the provider NOT the nbn. Further proving how bad the customer service at Optus has been.

  • G1NCHY g1nchy 🌏 (@G1NCHY) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @jendudley You forgot to @Telstra and @NBN_Australia. I don't feel so bad now, at least @optus replied to my tweets.

  • tiges_rule Susan Luber (@tiges_rule) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Just when I thought @Optus was finally doing right by me their inept customer service staff had to go wreck everything again. Guess I’ll be changing mobile providers.

  • corneliusJK Corné Kloppers (@corneliusJK) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus can you please help me activating my 4g plus modem i picked up this morning! Very frustrating as I would like to use it at home and get no response from technical support, phone or chat . Please help

  • nonspecialist Colin Panisset (@nonspecialist) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @mipearson They had a cable outage at our place. My ticket got merged with someone else’s somehow, and I’ve spent the past 2 weeks telling Optus when they call me that they have the wrong number for a call I didn’t open. My issue did get resolved, but I bet that other customer is cranky

  • roadrunner83_ Roadrunner83 (@roadrunner83_) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @heart_explodes @Optus Sounds like the issue I had. Apart from the one text I didn't get anything... I find the best way is to be all to Optus over phone. Webchat nothing seems to be done

  • TheNotoriousNJW 🅽 🅹 🆆 (@TheNotoriousNJW) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus This is still a major issue. At peak hours we get glacial speeds where even loading a Twitter feed is problematic. The coverage map is not correct for the area at the end of collins street in Melbourne around 750. Was never an issue before. Something has changed.

  • darthodingaming DarthOdin (@darthodingaming) reported

    @Optus Not likely since you can’t keep customer data safe

  • jackfjack6 🦈AKA Jack🦈 (@jackfjack6) reported from Moss Vale, State of New South Wales

    At 20:07 received a bill from Optus for 22 cents. Worth a giggle - then saw due date 22 November. Too bizarre ...... and no, have not severed our relationship. Was a victim of their data **** up. One way traffic .... its way.

  • teamrhett Scarlet (@teamrhett) reported

    @Optus Could not be more unhappy right now, over a week to port a number and then incomplete set up means no sim for ‘up to 48hrs’. I think I’m probably the one of the only people choosing to go to Optus after the breach, and it’s been the worst experience.

  • wierdwolf99 Ron Saunders (@wierdwolf99) reported

    @Optus I have found an answer to high mailbox quota. Even after all emails cleared I had 478 Mb used. The problem was the "Sent" folder. Years of sent emails hide in there. I now have only 18% used after deleting most of the old sent emails. Happy days!

  • shamsherkainth Shamsher Kainth (@shamsherkainth) reported

    @Optus I did receive information about network upgrades in my area. That doesn’t mean existing customers should be left in cold without adequate backup arrangements. Have you thought of the effects on businesses that rely on connectivity?

  • that_guy19_ Josh (@that_guy19_) reported

    @troyhunt At this point the hackers appear to have better customer service than Optus and Medibank / AHM combined

  • christine_w86 Christine Whybrow🏳️‍🌈💉💉Wear a 😷, SAVE A LIFE! (@christine_w86) reported

    SO glad I'm not in #Medibank! Or #Optus, or EVERY other company who's FAILED at protecting personal data! That's why I never allow them to store my data, "to make it easier to check-out next time"!🙄 #TheProjectTV

  • shamsherkainth Shamsher Kainth (@shamsherkainth) reported

    Dear @Optus, I know these are not the easiest of times for you, but your mobile phone network is a disgrace - has been so for the past few weeks. Porting

  • Jugeyfruits Juge (@Jugeyfruits) reported

    @AlexWang10630 @Optus Give Aussie broadband a look, they've been superb for me. Fantastic customer service and no issues with anything! If you do, use this referal code to get $50 credit: 7979438.

  • random_pest Rand😁m Sarah 🖕🏼 (@random_pest) reported

    So first I get done by the @optus data breach (hadn't been a customer for years) & now the @medibank / AHM breach (haven't been a customer in 2yrs) 🙄 already changed my number due to massive spam increase #auspol
