  • BlackwellJ_
    James Blackwell (@BlackwellJ_) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    My 2nd days-long internet outage in a week with @Optus — and they can’t/won’t send a technician out until Tuesday...

  • damienpbuckley
    Damien Buckley (@damienpbuckley) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @simonswiss @Optus Switch to Telstra mate. I know everyone loves to hate them but you can’t beat their mobile network

  • Flansq
    Twenny-Juanita. (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @ch1ch01 @Optus The issue resolved itself once I left that immediate area but had to get a few towers away first.

  • PagewoodCoach
    Rubens Camejo (@PagewoodCoach) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @MelbInvest @nyunggai @HelloMakkaPakka Yes & no. If you work for Optus but doing the praises of Telstra you're going to get sacked. In effect Kitching was sacked To fix it? Requires a referendum. Factions are funded by outside interests unions businesses, individuals with an agenda etc. That's hard to remove NEXT

    @Optus My wife should contact you tonight she's working.. **** she was a mess never I want to see her like this again

  • NTEUQldDivSec
    Michael McNally (@NTEUQldDivSec) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    Absolute crap service from @Optus “more than an hour and so we won’t be dealing with your call today”. #optusfail Yasmin got through and they wouldn’t let her just report the fault even though she has an @Optus account at same address. Complete failure of their outsourcing model

  • MattIsNE1
    Matt (@MattIsNE1) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @TGUZ72 @Optus Well I have evidence as per screenshot and chat history that there is an issue which @Optus know about and they will compensate for number of days we are without service.

  • phocks
    Joshua Byrd (@phocks) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    tbh private health insurance shouldn't even exist (neither should private telecommunications - looking at you optus) and should be shut down immediately as they've proven they can't be trusted with our data, but that's another story /rant over

  • BorisOsery
    Boris Osery (@BorisOsery) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @OptusNewsRoom I ordered a SIM card online on the 25/09/20. The Optus site says 3/5 business days delivery time. Optus can you tell me should your advertising be 30/50 business days delivery?? It’s the 12/10/20??? 🤬 WTF

  • EthicalAdviser

    @glendat45 @Optus Its mistake after mistake and no service to sought it out. Congratulations on your grandchild!!

    @LucasMapstone_ @Cas2o @maz_jovanovich Same happened to me just now in Brisbane. Optus network told my phone to jump forward but my girlfriend's identical phone, with identical settings, 3m away, stayed on Queensland time.

  • LesStonehouse
    Politic@l Spinner (@LesStonehouse) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    Hi @Optus no internet since early this morning which means landline phone's not working.. we have a sick mother-in-law who needs to communicate with us.. could you please Mark this is urgent in the Mitchelton area cheers

    Fix your **** @Telstra don't let your customers switch to Optus. ******* nightmare!

    @imogynmargaret @ktdenise @Optus I’m Optus no problems my end... odd

  • MattIsNE1
    Matt (@MattIsNE1) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @TGUZ72 @Optus That’s one thing about hiring people to provide front line support when they are not adequately equipped to work through issues. Sometimes that will result in someone letting out more information than they should.

  • CognitiveVerb
    💧cognitive verb (@CognitiveVerb) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    Dear @Optus I can’t do my job with slow internet

  • JamesCridland
    James Cridland (@JamesCridland) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @Yeahbutnaahh @Optus Optus informed me last week that my Australian passport number has been compromised. Narrator: James didn't have an Australian passport when he was an Optus customer. He is confused.

  • lesposen
    lesposen (@lesposen) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @Optus I’m on phone support currently. The question is about remotely rebooting my modem when away, it drops connection 2xweekly

  • barryrutherford
    Barry Rutherford | Parkrun fan (@barryrutherford) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @AnitaHeiss @Optus I’ve had two emails confirming my data had been breached even though I haven’t been a customer since 2005

  • laciheiter
    Laszlo Heiter (@laciheiter) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @Optus and @NBN_Australia your network is shocking. I don’t think there’s been a day since Christmas that we’ve had a full day without network outage and connection dropping to the level where the internet just can’t be used. Seriously, just unacceptable for the price we pay. 😡

    💥BREAKING NEWS: Let's talk about Optus and the 'outage'!💥 There has been a lot of speculation and questioning over the suspicious Optus outage. This explosive video exposes what is really going on and shows with evidence its links to the corruption in the Australian Government

  • Katy_Cat_Jessie
    KatyCatJess (@Katy_Cat_Jessie) reported

    @Optus im actually talking to the optus customer service right now, but now ill be turning my attention to the discussion im having with the ACCC since optus is claiming my service was used despite them cancelling again, without my knowledge

  • whateveryeahnah
    Icanhaveaopinion (@whateveryeahnah) reported

    @Optus @Telstra @AlboMP ******* peace of ****, ******* useless ******* telecommunications. ******* piece of **** ******* useless ********* who make decisions on this ******* ****. Little wonder businesses are going out of ******* business and no one wants to ******* invest

  • PaoloMalicse
    Paolo M (@PaoloMalicse) reported

    @Optus @optus_help 3rd day no NBN internet, so why do I pay $100 a month for no service? Superloop and Starlink looking very appealing right now. Maybe time for me to switch?

  • steele_sports
    Alby T (@steele_sports) reported

    @ausstockchick They work for Optus help

  • Cal_UpTheTigs
    Cal (@Cal_UpTheTigs) reported

    @smd_donald Richmond beat West coast by 40 at optus late last season. Neither result is a reliable indicator of where they're at because they both suck. Teams go through good and terrible patches, especially when they're as bad as these 2 teams are.

    @ArdenStReview 7 years since I watched North at Optus. Never again.

    Dave Jones (@eevblog) reported

    Now tweeting from my lab machine again with very basic Optus 5G internet. Will have to upload video and stuff from home, but otherwise I'm kinda functional again. No idea when NBN/Telstra will restore the connection, it's been 3 days already so I assume it's very bad. Today is Sunday and tomorrow is another public holiday.

  • stocksworldbull
    Mike (@stocksworldbull) reported

    @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.

    @xjet @qikka2888 I'll be able to get a better/cheaper plan through another provider that uses Optus as the carrier, I just had to test that Optus worked, and it does. So it will end up being the permanent internet solution in the bunker. And temporarily gets me out of trouble at the lab.
