    Mr. Mouse (@mr_mouse) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @Optus I’ve done all the checks. IView, etc. all work fine on the Fetch box. It’s the streaming channels that take ages to start and give streaming errors. Catch-up like BBC First are really bad and often fail to start a show, showing a streaming error. Looks like Fetch service prob.

    @sandyhunter2 @Apple I would just say the Optus Sim hasn’t “engaged” yet ... I know sounds stupid but try the ol “turn off turn on” trick

    @ConniePaul2018 @EnolaGrae @CNN What about the families of 100,000 Covid deaths from #Optus incompetence. Grow up you elected a guy with the temperament of a 5 year old WTF

    @DezMaggs @Optus No contact from them to me either but thanks to @TrendMicro nearly 6,000 spam sms scams have been prevented... I struggle to even have service on certain days and times... it sucks.

  • GuyRedRooHaines
    The RedRoo from Downunder (@GuyRedRooHaines) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @Optus how come if I’m a prepay customer I can select a $20 international roaming data plan with 10gig over 14 days but if I’m on a plan I have to select a $10per day for 1 gig add on? Seems sorta cruddy for your plan based customers.

    Wth @Optus! What is up with the service today. It’s been lagging all day and it’s driving me insane. FIX IT!

  • 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

    @ch1ch01 @Optus Yeah. I reported as well — and also raised it in live chat. Spoke with another person on Optus here and they also have the same issue (actually said it’s regular at this location)

  • gb7004
    greg bradley (@gb7004) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    Dear @Optus you are a disgrace, cancel my ADSL as I am signed up to NBN well I would be but still waiting for a modem from you from 10th Oct, rang help desk and Annika CB690949 was going to ring me back in 10/15 minutes 40 minutes.

  • EthicalAdviser
    Steve Putt (@EthicalAdviser) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    After telling the optus chat line that my house had burned down and that I had tried repeatedly to get the nbn cancelled (which I am still paying for), she asked me, and I kid you not, if I had tried turning it off and turning it back on again. I…I don’t know how to answer.

  • stevemedley
    Steve Medley (@stevemedley) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @Optus no internet, called support, told ling wait use message system, talked to a bot, no reply still no internet! Useless!

  • 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.

    @Dollaryd00s I have an Optus 4G dongle as well as my phone and both seem slow since Wednesday.

    The plumber ****** the NBN cable and I am now without wifi and phone. Plumber notntaming responsibility because it wasn’t “regulation”. Waiting to hear back from Optus to see when NBN can come out to fix it.

    @FearbySoftware Optus for over 20 years.. Never had a problem.. Fingers crossed

    @Optus is advising up to 90 minute wait for customer call centre with no explanation🤔 #CustomerService #COVIDー19🤔

  • 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

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

    @Optus Thanks. I have had several conversations and chats with customer service. I stopped reporting the issues, as it’s mainly nbn issues and it’s really frustrating. Paying $70 a month for the service you can hardly use is just outrageous. Text messages coming through advising outages

  • 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.

    The telecommunications industry needs a closer look by the Australian ombudsman or whoever regulates fees being taken for service not provided. Telcos with phone only service centres overseas are in the perfect position to rip people off under the banner of Optus/Telstra.

    @optus_help against my better judgement got an optus sim pribs should of saved my money and went elsewhere as the website has been down for hours and wont let me activate it guess i will go buy a vodaphone one in money so i can use my phone.

    @electricfuture5 Good charger. WiFi would help because there’s piss poor Optus coverage making use of the Tesla or Kia apps hard.

  • KymRob25112
    rob2511 (@KymRob25112) reported

    Telstra....missed your recharge message because the service has been so fuckung bad for weeks that people's personal SOS devices haven't been working. Have been hotspotting with Optus device.

    @bowling23 I was at the game last year , at Optus. They defended better that day. The suns still defend poorly at times. Today, they relied on their offence. North are bad defensively.. Suns are not too much better.

    @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

    @enz2g @1WeakGuttedDog Your gaslighting is terrible. I’ve not seen a single complaint about Boost. The list is endless for Vodaphone and Optus. Hell, Optus is in the news today for another outage. As the saying goes, it seems you will die on the hill than admit you are wrong.

  • TrooperOz
    Oz Trooper (@TrooperOz) reported

    Pauline can you please also look into telcos and mobile accounts because optus just put small plan up again other day by $9 a month!. I disconnected it, i actually begged to disconnect 2 services apple watch n mobile service. Im really considering disconnection of home internet and anything online subscriptions. Apple keeps taking money out account.government got no department or power to stop nor investigate. Im considering disconnection id save min $1k a month thats aprox $12 k a year. Ill get a phone that calls n txt only n use council internet at library like in past. Ive lived without it before in past. Ive lost so much weight due to orgion putting up power prices and lots of subsidies kicked in they refused to put up the ceneterpay repayment to power use kept saying oh no it will balance out. Im stuck paying $134 a week to keep home power connection on due to inept management. I know those calls were recorded , i begged and begged for it to be put up but they refused. Ive lost over 75 kg and can’t afford to eat, got no food no fuel and 1 car is out of rego my sons runs out the week. Its a endless cycle we cannot get out of. Please help us!. Thank You!.

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia When my husband died @Optus (Australian telco) harassed me for about two years about his bill and phone. Years. Told them over and over and over that he was dead. It was awful.
