  @helphelpandhelp It's the fact that Optus KEPT all the personal info, even of ex-customers. WTF were they doing with licence and passport numbers well after the 100 point check had been done. WHY?

  @ktdenise Damn I moved from ****** Optus, my plan went from $25pm to $60pm in 2 years and last week another price increase so I left immediately

  @RFC_Centre One thing I found interesting watching the game at Optus. Time after time Sonsie was manning two players when the dockers were coming out of defence and usually stuck between both of them. There was never any backup from another team mate. Other than one error he had a good game.

  @deniseshrivell 5G modem has never worked better. I then found out they tried the same thing with my dad and he fell for their reasons. He has an old computer that doesn’t even reach the speeds the NBN plan they put him on can reach. Boo Optus Boo iiNet!

  @SocialPiranha3 And then, doubtless, gave you a fake name and position number when you called his threat out I had an incident where an Optus operator made all manner of promises but, when I called back, no notes, no names, fake ID and number Telco ombudsman became involved

  @eevblog If you turn on Data Roaming when in Vodafone, in areas where there is poor coverage, it will connect to an Optus tower to fill the gap. This only works for Vodafone and not Optus or Telstra.

  @optus_help So much palaver to have to re-enter WiFi password etc Everything is set to WiFi but still no joy with connection for small or calls. Poor service considering optus is always doing upgrades/maintenance constantly. Get sick of no service

  @TeamYouTube I contacted Optus team. They said the issue is at YouTube end. YouTube support need to refresh the sync for me. Please help. I have been paying for my optus subhub services since October 2025 and haven't been able to use youtube premium because it shows inactive on YouTube app.

  @greg__briggs @disco___cat Yeah. Aldi are good. I switched from Optus and the coverage seems better and it's cheaper. The app and support leave a bit to be desired though. Major cities and highway stuff for coverage checks.

  @optus 4G collapsed along Dynon Road, Footscray, as per usual ever since 5G started. Can’t even watch cable news. Before 5G used to get 70mbps up and down, now 4g average about 10Mbps dn (tonight even less) and about 1 to 3 up. How is allowed?
