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

  • Tur71e
    Brett Turville (@Tur71e) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @Braxeoswow @Optus I’d like to know the answer to that same question @Optus I call and then told the system to check is down. Pathetic service. This happens all the time in inner north Brisbane.

    @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.

    @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.

    @Optus stop trying to bill me for a service i cancelled

  • NigelBell19
    💧Nigel Bell (@NigelBell19) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @Greybeard3 @JohnBirmingham @Optus I didn't go to TPG but I did leave Optus. I twice had to call to cancel, going through the whole process twice. But, for over a year now, Optus still sends me monthly invoices that (a) state that I have a 9 cent credit & (b) the 9 cents is zeroed off at the end of each invoice.

  • viller
    Stephen Viller (@viller) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @Optus we've had no home broadband since this morning in Chapel Hill (Qld 4069), with the MyOptus check network status saying there is a problem and it is being investigated. Any news on the outcome of the investigation and when we will have our network and phone working again?

  • JaseSmith78
    Jase Smith (@JaseSmith78) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @GaryNunn1 Aldi mobile uses the Telstra network without the Telstra price... but not sure if it supports things like multi devices or Apple Watch - I put my husband on $35 Optus plan (plus $15 to link iPad and the watch was free for the first year) with 30gb

  • 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

  • girlondon
    Kathryn Geels (@girlondon) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @alsotheabyss @LaurenBeldi I felt the same about filling out those forms even before the Optus incident. It really wasn’t very clear how they used the information, how they stored it and where, who had access to it, and how long they keep it.

  • Bf99Floyd
    Bev Floyd 🇦🇺 (@Bf99Floyd) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    Everything in my world seems to be taking longer. My computer has slowed down. I no longer have email.(Optus has no online techicnical team). It took me an hour and a half to get through to Telstra. My washing machine is broken. My TV doesn't work. All I have is Twitter. TGFT.

  • nothingkanye
    Nathan John Kearney (@nothingkanye) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    How is @Optus so incredibly bad? It's my 4th time on customer support since I got mobile broadband one month ago because the internet isn't working.

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

    @annkozma723 @OlivierElzingre @steven_kolber I suspect it was an internet service provider problem. @Flipgrid grid is pretty hungry and @Optus was not playing fair.

  • JoGierke
    Jo (@JoGierke) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @Optus so we are now into week 3 of no service to my Apple Watch and no idea when this will be fixed even though I have had a tech unpair my watch many times, many attempts and trips to the store and 2 new sims... what’s the plan @Optus move back to @VodafoneAU

  • TheOlderGamer52
    Robbie Shenton (@TheOlderGamer52) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @VicBStard @NBN_Australia Makes sense. If @Optus had of kept the maintence of the cable up to standard before selling to the NBN then it wouldn't have been an issue.That being said I don't get why the NBN didn't just fix the issues.

  • bryce_parker26
    Bryce Parker (@bryce_parker26) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @TheSportsFreak @OptusStadium That’s really poor I did agree with your point about the WACA the only tests that should be played at Optus are Ashes and India They probably should have given perth a South African tests given the expat population as well

  • LesStonehouse

    My wife nearly had a major breakdown last night over her 89 year old mums @Optus phone not working properly for years now.., anyone else having major problems with Optus recently? they're forcing her to pay for another modem. it's been a complete nightmare lives on her own

    @Optus Me again @Optus, just checking in, when your staff name drop people’s fiancée, who Optus are aware was involved in previous domestic violence incidents, on a complaint that doesn’t involve said fiance, is this an approved intimidation tactic by Optus?

  • Someb0dy455556

    @DarkWebInformer Australia since Optus data breach, has been the best place to do hacking. Seriously, companies here are dumb as ****, people in power that should know better, have IQ of a potato 🤦 Idk how they get hired, Australians data will continue being leaked left and right 🤦

    @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

  • DamagedByDan
    DamagedByDan (@DamagedByDan) reported

    @Optus 2 bars of 4G usually means satisfactory receiving which neither my wife or I achieved. I don’t complain about speed on 1 bar. Download speed was so slow it did not support normal FB. Upload did not exist for text emails. That is unsatisfactory.

  • DamagedByDan
    DamagedByDan (@DamagedByDan) reported

    @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?

    Deadset @Optus your “customer service” from your loyalty team is disgraceful… Still haven’t had a reply after 25 minutes and counting. No wonder I’m looking elsewhere. #disgusted
