  • JesMullins Jessicah Mullins (@JesMullins) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    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…

  • Colincopeland2 Col Copeland (@Colincopeland2) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

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

  • Fabulous_Red Leon Ha (@Fabulous_Red) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    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

  • simoncha_n Simon Chan (@simoncha_n) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

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

  • miksta85 Michael (@miksta85) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @optus you need to fix your coverage at Gungahlin marketplace. It’s non-existent.

  • P_Glo Phoebe #Raiders4Life (@P_Glo) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @RedFiddler Yep pretty good deal. Don’t have too many problems with them. Partner is with Optus and does nothing but complain.

  • AusLoafer Marko (@AusLoafer) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    Damn it seems George didn't lose the ******** shades at Optus Stadium... #Masterchefau

  • JayJayK75 50ShadesofJay (@JayJayK75) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @allaningleton @Optus Surely someone working there would see how completely stupid that is and take it back, complete crooks mate, phone company’s these days are a nightmare to deal with

  • stillupsocut Andy Marsh (@stillupsocut) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @Optus I had two wireless broadband plans and as soon as I terminate one my speeds slow to under 1mb/s. Been two weeks with no solution from your tech support.

  • AmandaWorldwide Amanda Valentina💋 (@AmandaWorldwide) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    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.

  • simoncha_n Simon Chan (@simoncha_n) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @timburrowes Most email services that Optus would be using or have the ability to use can easily handle that volume of emails. Amazon Web Services sells SES (Simple Email Service) that is very cheap and scales considerably.

  • thesiswhisperer Prof Inger Mewburn (@thesiswhisperer) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    So, @Optus put up my phone bill because 'inflation', but has done nothing about my complaint about having no coverage many times over the past 4 months. I guess it's back to @Telstra for me, but I don't hold out much hope it will be better. Duopolies suck.

  • sweetgilly Gillian Smith (@sweetgilly) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    Well @Optus no service after act storms last night…what are you doing about it?!

  • GGL_Drew Andrew Christian (@GGL_Drew) reported from Queanbeyan, State of 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

  • mariekringxx ♛Ƙring (@mariekringxx) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    hello @Optus i am network-less atm what happened

  • LizDolphinfluff Liz Darvill (@LizDolphinfluff) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

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

  • refjess Jess the Referee (@refjess) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @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.

  • macec88 Mace Caruana (@macec88) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @OptusSport I’ve been trying for weeks to contact you regarding my subscription - calls don’t work as their Optus not Optus Sport (found annoying after 2 1 hour calls) & I’ve raised 3 cases now - 2 of which closed without resolution & 1 is pending open for days now! Please help!

  • garigalAnj 🌏💧Anj of Garigal (@garigalAnj) reported

    @ABCiview only has Series 11 Episode 5. Badly let down by ABC and Optus 🙁 #Vera

  • thebalmainboy DJ (@thebalmainboy) reported

    @Optus your chat support has been broken and returning errors for 2 days. Please fix it as it's the only way to contact support

  • ElizabethKamel Elizabeth Kamel (@ElizabethKamel) reported

    @Just_Saying2021 @Optus @ashbarty This was last year. It was awful. When I (and others) needed to speak to my husband I (we) couldn’t. 3 weeks of him going to and from stores and calling on another phone to get this fixed. They cut off his number due to a “technical error.” Still causing problems. New number.

  • Aitch_El Overlizard (@Aitch_El) reported

    @JimRHoughton @Optus When i lives in Thornbury, my nearby Optus tower was grossly oversubscribed. If new apartments close by, thats likely source of your problem. Does it get worse around 5pm?

  • brandonctlee Brandon Lee (@brandonctlee) reported

    @Optus Your Auto-Bill feature is utterly broken. Every and any link to try to make it work results in broken URL. Optus customers agree this is a common issue. You are a tech company at heart. This is unacceptable. Some would argue negligence. You should fix this ASAP. Thanks.

  • matttaylor_1 Matt Taylor ⚓ (@matttaylor_1) reported

    @RayJCapo79 @camcc87 Premiership Terrace came up as an option for my family too but I searched again and for half the price got the same position above the other pocket near the northern wing where the majority of action occurs. That said... there are no bad seats at Optus on 3rd September!! #gofreo

  • renshaw_gary Gary Renshaw - #VoteYes (@renshaw_gary) reported

    @favfavalore @margo694 So do I - the week before last there was a puff piece on Sky with Bin chicken and the CEO of Optus - my immediate thought was there’s bad news for her on the horizon and they were trying to get ahead of the game

  • stefaniewsw Stefff W (@stefaniewsw) reported

    Hi @Optus - haven’t had any coverage all morning - is there an outage?! No internet or calls

  • Keirashley Keira☁️ (@Keirashley) reported

    @Optus reception has been sooo bad on the Gold Coast for months - across multiple customers on different devices. What’s going on?
