  @SkullSpeedDeal I called Optus support the other day. The Indian guy on the phone literally couldn’t speak coherent English, misunderstood 5G and NBN, and sounded like he was calling from a scam centre which he probably was. Got escalated to an Aussie girl, problem was immediately solved.

  @hakluke About 20 years ago I was with Optus, and back then if you were late paying your bill Optus would disconnect your SIM so you couldn't even receive calls. To get it connected again you'd have to ring Optus and they'd tell you it would be back on within 4 hours. That never happened, so you'd have to ring them over and over again until it eventually got done. After wiaitng for over a week for my phone to be put back on and again being told it would be back on within 4 hours, I said "no, I'll wait on the phone with you until it's done. He then passed me to another team who enabled my SIM again while I was talking to him. Anyway, that night I noticed that when my Dad who has a private number rang me, it showed his phone number with a hash tag before and after the number. This happened with every private number and I realised that when my SIM was turned back on, something went wrong and I was able to see private numbers. It was the greatest thing ever! I would get telemarketers all the time who would abuse me when I'd tell them to stop ringing me, but now I had their number to call back. You should have heard how shocked the first one was when I rang him. I kept ringing him and he begged me to stop and kept asking "How did you get this number? I don't even know this number". That ended when that phone was stolen 2 years later, but it was great while it lasted. I've since had Optus tech employees in our pubs and ask them if they can do it, and they tell me that it's impossible, but I know it's not.

  @sueytweets @lainie_york I might pop in to Optus to get a new one but it’s not on the top of my to do list. Apple purposely do this when a contract is finished slow the phone down and battery too.

  @SulloReport Moving it from Brisbane would kill it. There’s **** all around Optus stadium, Adelaide is boring, Sydney won’t turn up. The only option is Brisbane and Suncorp. Never been but can only imagine the buzz Caxton street has over the weekend.

  BEHIND THE SCENES Before, during and after every AFL match at Optus Stadium, the Main Roads’ events team work with many stakeholders to provide a safe passage for vehicle and foot traffic to and from the game. They do this by closing off certain roads, checking in with traffic management, the Real Time Traffic Operations Centre and the stadium events team to make sure all elements are in place and ready to play their part. If there are any issues that occur, they are first to reach out on communication channels to make sure it’s handled effectively and efficiently. Even down to the pointy end making sure no unauthorised vehicles are parked near areas that will affect the flow.  #perthtraffic #optusstadium

  I'm paying about $100/month for Optus/NBN, and lose connection at least twice a week for a few hours. Today I got a text from Optus saying that they're trying, apparently so far unsuccessfully, to fix what they helpfully called fault 754885. Anyone know what on earth this?

  @Optus Congratulations @Optus your incompetence has led me to @amaysimAU which are far far cheaper! You just lost a 30+ year customer. Well done 🤡 #auspol

  @ProudLeftyHatr @AustralianCelt @SkyNewsAust Petal, those flights have been checked and passed by the parliamentary office. She had other flights booked, they were cancelled as Wells dealt with the Optus fall out. Last minute flights were secured. Acting like this has never happened before is just pathetic. Born yesterday?

  @MattM_78 @optus_help Will be interesting to see what they can offer. I got nothing the last time and when I was wanting to upgrade my phone was told I couldn’t have a cheaper plan as it was only for new customers. I’ve left and gone elsewhere. Just waiting to activate my new SIM so I can cancel Optus

  The Optus Stadium surface never looks anything other than average.
