    @Optus is there any problems with the network in the ACT. Its very, very slow tonight

    Jamien Rees (@voroguecp) reported from Canberra, ACT

    You just have to love @Optus. 2nd time in a few months they have cancelled our work email. Whole account system is attached to it. No warning. Just cancelled. Thousands of dollars at a stake. Service response, ‘nothing we can do’.

    Way to wreck a Sunday, try to contact @Optus to fix their substandard offering.

    @Haydztweets @Jacko_GFreak @Telstra @Optus @iiNet Well no, some POIs have a higher capacity then others and it comes down to if they can actually support the speeds. If you're on a POI that is at almost capacity then the chances of getting higher speeds are limited, which is why people hit that 7pm slowdown.

    @Optus NBN down this morning. Website reports no issues at 2911.

    @joshgnosis They haven't told me ****. I'm an ex-Virgin customer & current Optus customer & I haven't received any email or text from Optus. Have I avoided having my data revealed or has Optus ****** up on this as well?

    @djp1974 I feel you - being similarly blighted on the Optus network

    @Optus get your f#cking sh#t together and fix digital access in #FranklinACT right now unless you want a whole world of media pain directed your way real soon. Namaste @TimShawTweets @2CC

    Christopher Anderson (@candersonAAS) reported from Canberra, ACT

    I am an @Optus customer. I have had no proactive communication from the company yet found out this morning that my debit card has been subject to fraud. Coincidence or #OptusHack ?

  • Fabulous_Red
    Leon Ha (@Fabulous_Red) reported from Canberra, ACT

    I do hope that @Optus will match 1:1 the amount of data #Optus customers have donated generously this #Christmas to help drive positive changes in our community. LH

    Jessicah Mullins (@JesMullins) reported from Canberra, ACT

    A week later and still no resolution. Just infuriating comments from people on the Optus messaging service who have clearly not read the case notes. @Optus you need to fix this…

  • sandraom
    Sandra O'Malley (@sandraom) reported from Canberra, ACT

    @yodaberg @Optus I’ve had alot of problems with them lately & the only thing that worked was going into a store. Chat is probably the next most helpful & you can get a transcript of what they’ve promised to action.

  • simoncha_n
    Simon Chan (@simoncha_n) reported from Canberra, ACT

    @somethingshort @LinkedInAU It’s about blaming your @Optus teammates for piss poor security efforts.

  • GGL_Drew
    Andrew Christian (@GGL_Drew) reported from Queanbeyan, New South Wales

    Just spoke with family in Tuross Heads. Tuross is unaffected apart from smoke. Connectivity available on the Telstra network (but not optus). Power just turned on at 2am this morning. Water is on and working. #SouthCoastFires #BushfireEmergency #tuross

  • sandraom
    Sandra O'Malley (@sandraom) reported from Canberra, ACT

    @Optus I cancelled my Optus adsl connection at the end of January after significant problems and more than a week without service & now I’ve had my previous direct debit used to take funds out on 17 February. There is no end to the terrible service by optus.

  • AmandaWorldwide
    Amanda Valentina💋 (@AmandaWorldwide) reported from Canberra, ACT

    Nothing like spending your spare time in an @Optus store because the customer service call centre are so inefficient & haven’t cancelled two numbers, one dating back to October 2017, despite being asked to on more than 2 occasions. $120 p/m charges need to be reimbursed, too.

  • refjess
    Jess the Referee (@refjess) reported from Canberra, ACT

    @NJGalea @Optus I had so many problems with them when I signed up. Never again. I'll take my chances with the clowns at Telstra rather than this mob again.

    @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.

    @sittingwanderer At least the stupid sun in their eyes won’t be around for long during this time of day. Should’ve put a roof on Optus

  • BILLTHEDJ
    Bill (Blagoyce - Pronounced "Blagoyche") Anakiev (@BILLTHEDJ) reported

    Thank you to the NBN/Optus for restoring my internet connection at full speed. For the past 2 months it was working at woeful speeds. I was initially told it was a problem at my end 3 times but it seems the complaining from my end caused action for them to investigate and fix.

  • simplecrackers3
    Nico⁸¹ (@simplecrackers3) reported

    @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.

  • yeah_naa_maybe
    yeah, naa (@yeah_naa_maybe) reported

    @NBN_Australia internet down for 20 hours in east subs of sydney. WTF no updates, silence. what the hell is going on. @Optus @optus_help

    @freopics_ If you can afford it, book flights now that you can get a refund or a credit voucher for as it guarantees more travel in 2027 hehe. But, otherwise it will be great here. Down in Freo or at Optus or with friends.

  • e6dym
    Eddy ≅ (@e6dym) reported

    @Optus has to be one of the worst companies I have dealt with. 3 hours of dealing with several departments about a simple fix only to be told they can’t help me and I have to go in store. Useless.

  • SpeedBirdEU
    Robert SpeedBird (@SpeedBirdEU) reported

    @AusSpaceAgency @raytracer_co @Optus I know Canadian teams capable of building this. They just never get the runway. Three years to live satellite ops is unthinkable at home.

  • Chilka_
    Hugo (@Chilka_) reported

    I wanted to apply but I'm sorry the UX is ridiculously bad. @Optus just give an email i can reach and send all the info and my cv bc I'aint gonna talk to this damn bot and wait 5 seconds each time i put an info. It took me 1 min just to fill my basic account info.
