Bonshaquita’lafondria (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@_marty_k Ugh. No thank you. I haven’t used a SimCard at all since I moved to Optus. When I ported from vids phone on the iPhone 12, I just activated via the app. Same deal with the 14PM. Just had to phone to get them to issue a new eSim to the app (transfer phone to phone didn’t work)

David J Gillespie (@djgillespie9) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandCome on @kayosports fix your streaming 👎 Don’t tell me that it’s my speed, I’ve got ultimate speed!!! No problems with other apps - like Optus Sports 🤔
-
Deb Berger (@debmberger) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus Thank you. It’s a pity your chat help couldn’t check this. Or at least advise me to look at it. I was asked to reset my phone, remove my SIM card, change various settings. Each of these solutions were suggested multiple times despite advising none of them corrected the issue.

Bev Floyd 🇦🇺 (@Bf99Floyd) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandEverything 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.

ＣＯＮＡＬ (@conal_tuohy) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@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.
-
Steve Putt (@EthicalAdviser) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandHi @Optus just got this message about ‘not returning my fetch box’. I have told you repeatedly over the last 12 months that my house burnt down and there is no fetch box. I have begged to speak with a real person with no luck. I’ll need confirmation by the end of the

Alex SI 😷 (@iamalexsi) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandI just switched from @Optus to @TPG_Telecom 1 week ago. I ordered my NBN and the modem has arrived, but no one came to instal it after few days. The bloody customer service is terrible, worst than @Optus!! I had to be in chatRoom in line, ticket number 600 and after 9 hours...

Lliam Parslow (@parslow77) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandWatching Liverpool this morning on Optus Miss 12 walks down the hall waking from her slumber and spots the Nike Ad. “Look Dad!, it’s @samkerr1!!”
-
Glen Nixon (@GlenNixon) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandFrom the evidence I have to conclude that @Optus don’t have anyone working in a call centre. They just play music at you until you give up. #service
-
Twenny-Juanita. (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus Hey there. My mobile service has died completely. Is there any known issues going on? Waiting 15mins for an agent on live chat suggests maybe there is but not sure.
-
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.
-
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
-
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
-
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.
-
Robert Watkins (@twasink) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@haruki_zaemon @Optus I’ll try again when I upgrade my phone (which arrives in a couple of weeks). That will include shifting to a new 5G plan, which will hopefully fix the weirdness.
-
Twenny-Juanita. (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@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)
-
Dezer da Advocate (@DezerdaAdvocate) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus is advising up to 90 minute wait for customer call centre with no explanation🤔 #CustomerService #COVIDー19🤔
-
Rua Uilliam (💉💉💉 Pagan Prole Sewer Rat) (@RuaBrithem) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandThe 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.
-
Politic@l Spinner (@LesStonehouse) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandHi @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

Timmy (@TimmyfromOz888) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@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

Mike (@stocksworldbull) reported@TeamYouTube I have spent an hour on the link you provided but it is not helping. My third-party provider (Optus) shows active until May 2026, but my YouTube app is stuck showing an expired date from October 2025. All i want is Help to refresh my youtube account's sync with Optus.

Patriot princess 777 (@Garycopela0) reportedPfizer and CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) rollout. In short, Gladys Berejiklian who was found guilty of corruption, was installed in Optus as a puppet to create the hack in 2022 and outage in 2023 in order to pushout digital id and CBDC for offline payments according to
-
Miss Igraine (@MissIgraine) reportedI really rate my experience working for a serviced office, what feels like a lifetime ago. I was a senior EA promoted to a virtual office manager. We had to learn some fundamental IT troubleshooting as we were our own ISP (using the Optus network).
-
harleyw (@harleywattsconn) reported@ThoughtVacancy @wayne_kag @AlboMP It is a problem and it bloody well exists!!! Ever tried cancelling Optus Sport, BigPond Broadband or Foxtel? Try listening to Optus's "give me the simple life" hold music for 2 hours.

🌵 (@macar0n55) reportedi am founder of the protect and respect all customer service workers club BUT OPTUS CUSTOMER SERVICE ACTUALLY NEED TO JUST GIVE UP
-
Lasindu Nambige (@LasinduLive) reportedSpaceX is now the most valuable telecom company on earth and it doesn't have a single retail customer yet. Telstra, Optus, Verizon — all about to find out what happens when one guy with rockets decides your industry is too slow, too expensive, and too protected by government.
-
Alison Kyteler (@ali_kyteler) reported@AnikaWells @Optus @acccgovau Verification emails with codes are taking 1–3 hours to reach Optusnet users’ inboxes, making them useless since most codes expire in 5–30 minutes. A search online shows plenty of people describing this issue. Result: locked out of accounts.
-
💧Jenny White (@jennywhite38) reported@optus_help So much palaver to have to re-enter WiFi password etc Everything is set to WiFi but still no joy with connection for small or calls. Poor service considering optus is always doing upgrades/maintenance constantly. Get sick of no service
-
M (@imboudee) reported@Justme136160 @robb_j_m To be fair, David is not wrong. Telcos will use the NBN infrastructure as they see fit. It’s cheaper to pay to use the NBN infrastructure that is already there than to lay down their own fibre. In fact, telcos like Optus and Telstra are already NBN providers.
