    @Optus Thanks Nard. What causes an outage that only affects webmail?

  • JKRLMazur 🇦🇺Julian 🇦🇺 (@JKRLMazur) reported from Cessnock, State of New South Wales

    @recneps51 @Optus @NSW_FairTrading I bpay to telstra also, I know they charge me for a paper bill, which I request but never receive, but I don’t know about the other bit. I’d never allow direct debit, especially Optus, I used to ring them every other month about issues.

  • JKRLMazur Julian 🇦🇺 (@JKRLMazur) reported from Cessnock, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra Yep. Unfortunately I’m so disgusted with the way I’ve been treated as a customer will see me head to @optus Telstra high prices dont reflect the service you receive from staff when there is a problem. It’s disgraceful. By far the worst telco I have dealt with, ever.

  • KitaandMat Mat and Kita Clarke (@KitaandMat) reported from Maitland, State of New South Wales

    @OeterB @Fozbyte That's what I did! I'm an optus customer so it's included in my plan.

  • Shuttlecock Brad Stephenson☕️ (@Shuttlecock) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus I'm sorry too but I've spoken to several customer support people on the phone directly about this and have just been told every single time to be patient and wait because there's nothing that can be done.

  • decryption decryption (@decryption) reported

    @BeauGiles @jonoabroad @peterwells Most android phones actually have 2 SIM card slots. I prefer than than ducking around with eSIMs and being locked in to either Telstra, Optus or Vodafone. None of the cheap MVNOs like Kogan, Catch, Coles etc support it :(

  • jessikadouglas jess // 35 ÷ (@jessikadouglas) reported

    @parisvelvet Yeah 100%! Telstra can definitely be a pain to deal with so if you’ve never had issues with Optus you might as well stay with what works. For comparison, I pay $55 a month for 40gb, unlimited everything else on Telstra. But that’s just the plan, I already owned the phone.

  • wyrdjo Johanna Latham (@wyrdjo) reported

    @caitlen @Optus @Telstra This does not surprise me... from either company. The difference in customer service between the 2 companies is striking.

  • TheNessness Vanessa Butty (@TheNessness) reported

    Trying to figure out how @Telstra omitted to direct debit my NBN bill for 6 months and now expect me to pay $500 in one month after a mistake that wasn't mine. Got a text stating they will cut my service. Should have stayed with Optus, never happened with them.

  • NewcastleGardia ☂ Newcastle Guardian🇦🇺 (@NewcastleGardia) reported

    @Shirley56733062 Optus here too for years now, after a lifetime previously with Telstra. Posted this to alert all the poor Telstra suckers, what was going to be happening to them.

  • decryption decryption (@decryption) reported

    @Len_Jet @peterwells @michaelmeloni same as Optus, same network

  • Fipty Johnny Rotten (@Fipty) reported

    @Optus I'm finally moving house this weekend, then I'll be transferring to another provider. I. Cannot. Wait. To. Be. Rid. Of. Your. "Service."

  • Websta_Black Nikki Black (Websta) (@Websta_Black) reported

    @Optus Not currently. Just slow internet in general and then really really bad every so often. I want to join another provider but am unable to. No need to reach out thanks.

  • Shuttlecock Brad Stephenson☕️ (@Shuttlecock) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Genuinely physically feel like I'm on the verge of having an anxiety attack over this whole @Optus thing. 5G net hardware ordered on Weds, delivered to wrong address and returned to warehouse on Fri, and is still there 6 days later despite 2 support calls during the week.
