    MissLiLy (@Team_LiLy) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    hey @newscomauHQ saw your article on @Optus about their incompetency and the hecking! They told me I wasn’t hacked and then a month later told me I was! Being trying to find a resolution and they are useless. Reach out if you want the story!

  • 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. 😡

  • debmberger
    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.

    @Optus DM sent. I’m not sure you can help. I was simply told I should have read my contract better.

    @Optus you suck right now I can’t even unrestrict my phone through the app and I’m trying to wait for customer service online

  • 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.

  • _rigormoris_

    @rab_s It’s so ******* annoying they ALWAYS get the first attempt wrong to a business and it only arrives successfully after optus email them letting them know the business name and floor. How ******** don’t they have a work around for this yet? it’s incredible

    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.

    @optus HUGE MASSIVE THANK YOU for being the provider that got our NBN installed in less than a week!! No text messages back and forth for 6 weeks just damn amazing service! @Telstra 6 weeks of bullshit text messages vs 1 week and NBN installed #yesoptus

  • 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.

    Is it just me or is Optus WiFi really slow this week?

  • iamalexsi
    Alex SI 😷 (@iamalexsi) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    I 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...

  • Flansq

    @_marty_k I dumped Voda for poor 5G coverage and rollout. Optus is still much better in that regard.

  • TimmyfromOz888
    Timmy (@TimmyfromOz888) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @ktdenise My only true issue atm is struggling to screen mirror but mainly due to having an outdated TV and or not having an Apple Box.. mainly issue for my Optus Sports but that not a drama atm lol

  • 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.

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

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

  • CommonGroundAu
    CommonGround (@CommonGroundAu) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @ParamountPlusAU @lfc2379 Umm. Problem. Apple TV's don't have a web browser, how can I watch this game on my apple TV. Also, your excuse for lack of apple TV support is unfounded when I watch many other live sporting matches with other apps on Apple TV. 10play and Optus sports have no issues.

  • emeerana

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

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

    @Optus @glendat45 My house burnt down 14 months ago and they charged me for not returning the fetch box. That burnt along with it. Impossible to get any service from them. Hope it gets sorted out soon for you.

    @deniseshrivell 5G modem has never worked better. I then found out they tried the same thing with my dad and he fell for their reasons. He has an old computer that doesn’t even reach the speeds the NBN plan they put him on can reach. Boo Optus Boo iiNet!

    @JezMans @Telstra @Optus It's #WhackAMole, shut one down another pops up.

    @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.

  • bennymcslats
    Benji Slater (@bennymcslats) reported

    @Telstra It’s not been a short term outage issue. It’s been a problem for an extended period of time. I have customers that come into my office and anyone with Telstra can’t access our app/website due to poor service. Optus and Vodafone customers are fine. I have to provide the clients with wifi details just so they can interact. It’s substandard.

  • _nicks_tweets
    Nick (@_nicks_tweets) reported

    @Optus I’m not having issues activating my eSIM. I already have a eSIM with you. I want to buy a secondary number sim and cannot enter my OTP once it is sent via email. It also seems like there is a issue on your end with getting OTPs via email as it has taken over 10 minutes to arrive

    Optus can get ******. Another phone outage today for more than 5hours. How often does this happen #Optus

  • kidkerrigan
    Nina Nikolic 💫 Kerri (@kidkerrigan) reported

    @DeadSlugg @Aussie_BB 🫠 from Telstra to Optus to internode to iinet to Aussie bb but honestly you’re probably right if the don’t get their stuff together. It always starts the same, then you see the customer service start to deteriorate, then the service. Who are you with now?

  • pfbt
    Marquis d'Killara, Duc du Centre-Ouest (@pfbt) reported

    @Optus It’s clearly a case of the building blocking signal. Signal is Ok outside ( in parts). You meed more transmission towers
