-
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.
-
Matt Guest (@Guesty22) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus your 5G service is really terrible. It’s been awful for about 3/4 weeks but on and off awful for months. I really need to get rid of this and look at going on your other plans or elsewhere….
-
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
-
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.
-
Linda Thackeray (@Scribe31oz) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus Quade, My number is 0413910086. 109 Mcloughlin Road morayfield O7/04/1969 They are doing upgrades but my reception is so bad I can only call out if I leave the house.

Adam Meyer (@Adam_Meyer1) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus Hi there. Still doesn't work correctly
-
David Findlay (@davidjfindlay) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandGood work @Optus I recommended you to my father, but after buying a SIM he’s spent hours failing to get it activated via your automated customer anti-service system which is apparently designed to thwart victims from getting to speak to a person. Never recommending you again.

Stephen Beckett (@StephenABeckett) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus trying to change my voicemail message to say I’m on leave. Apparently my phone number is invalid. Pls help
-
Politic@l Spinner. (@lesstenny) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandGreat.. I'm blaming you @Optus our credit card has been compromised three times with dodgy transactions.. My wife now has to get a new card.. Again I say **** you optus, we are so pissed off
-
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?
-
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.
-
💧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.
-
faeling 💜 (@faelingx) reported from Brisbane, Queenslandhi you keep trying to charge me $500 for general use damages on screen/pixels UNDERNEATH the screen on a lease phone I had. You know that's a manufacturer fault right? Are you ok @Optus can you fix this stupidity thanks.
-
greg bradley (@gb7004) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandDear @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.

💧cognitive verb (@CognitiveVerb) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandDear @Optus I can’t do my job with slow internet
-
D (@etredoo) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@optus HUGE MASSIVE THANK YOU for being the provider that got our NBN installed in less than 2 weeks. No text messages back and forth for 6 weeks just amazing service! @Telstra you need to take a leaf out of their book 6 weeks of bullshit vs 2 weeks and NBN installed #yesoptus

Dr Mark 🎄 🏴 🇵🇸 อาจารย์มาก (@AjaanMark) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandIs it just me or is Optus WiFi really slow this week?

Grok (@grok) reported@chatzi41 @iSpeedtestOS RCS support for iPhone Messages in Australia isn't live yet. Apple added it back in iOS 18, but it requires carrier activation from Telstra, Optus, or Vodafone. They're still working on it with no confirmed date—latest indications point to mid-to-late 2026 rollout. Contact your carrier for the latest.
-
J (@jcotteri) reported@SSendybez8 @MelbourneBlokee Exactly this. WTF. It’s worse than Stan/Optus
-
Kath (@Kathblue) reported@MattM_78 @optus_help Will be interesting to see what they can offer. I got nothing the last time and when I was wanting to upgrade my phone was told I couldn’t have a cheaper plan as it was only for new customers. I’ve left and gone elsewhere. Just waiting to activate my new SIM so I can cancel Optus
-
GamblingonLife (@highstakesbet) reported@Optus Congratulations @Optus your incompetence has led me to @amaysimAU which are far far cheaper! You just lost a 30+ year customer. Well done 🤡 #auspol
-
AL (@asewell6) reported@Optus what disgraceful experience. Into the second day of trying to upgrade my internet. @Telstra do you want a new customer?
-
@shadowmaster13@mastodon.social (@shadowmaster132) reported@ThomasDougherty @oscarcsims In the past Optus tried it and failed so bad they had to hand it back to SBS which I think has also made streamers nervous the soccer fantasy in Aus likes the SBS team

dexq (@qexdval) reportedTech illiterate idiots in this comment section is insane, if ur still getting low internet speeds with nbn installed ur likely not asking for the fttp upgrade which is free and ur paying the same per month sometimes even cheaper then ur avg fttn ect with deals, yes sometimes u cant get fttp installed but cases are slim and u only ever have to pay if ur 1. Getting business grade lines (which u wont need for the avg household) 2. If they have to actually install the lines which if u have pre existing lines then ur fine and wont need to pay which is the case for most, As for wifi its only really a user issue so many things can can contribute to a bad wifi connection Like Bad routers Damaged lines Interference (usually if u have ur router lined with a stud in the wall can contribute to this) but microwaves and emf interference can cause a bad wifi connection Some routers just need a simple setup properly rather then it being just default IF you’re internet provider says anything like ur ineligible immediately ask for a technician to come out and look as the internet provider company’s themselves don’t have the technology to see if you’re ineligible or not they might say they do but at best they only have surface level ****, my first 2/3 calls to the internet company’s themselves were “you’re ineligible” the 4th I asked for a technician to atleast have a look and he said and in quotes “this is piss easy to install what where they even telling you” they then relayed that to them and got this (photo attached) within the next couple of days with the fibre installed And I’ll add my circumstances which is why I think most will not have any issues • I live in ******** nowhere with a avg of 2/5k people with a outdated tower for the town • the house I’m currently in is roughly 80+ years old as far as I know it got built in 1945 (yes it did get re modernised but like surface level **** like up to date stove and redone walls and paint obviously) no rewiring Yes we got ****** by abbot so we had to deal with **** company’s like Telstra Optus selling a fttn scam for probably more than enough time but we have had fibre implementations for a while now so the wifi/internet connection excuse just isn’t there anymore maybe at the start but we are pretty close to having most of Australia on fttp or atleast attempting We are in no way as good as NZs and USAs fibre implementations but you should be getting perfectly fine wifi and speeds for the avg homes use no matter what you do and if u work from home and do any data transfer work.

levi ed fletcher (@levied) reported@optus has the worst customer service. I have tried to cancel my internet 3 times now. Every time I get to my final sign off, the online person discontents, and you then have to go through the entire process again. I switch to @Starlink 2 months ago - very quick internet.

Adam (@AdamBurgessWatl) reported@Sullivan87M @footyindustryAU @BernardJKD The nrl also do state of origin at the mcg every other year and the Optus stadium can’t be that bad if they keep doing it, great stadiums both of them,
