  • jimmcslim James Webster (@jimmcslim) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Nothing like being stuck on the @TransLinkSEQ flying junction into Bowen Hills, where the @Optus coverage sucks…

  • DaveCox92490089 womble (@DaveCox92490089) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @sydney_ev @anirbanmahanti Optus is not much better shit all round.

  • BlackwellJ_ James Blackwell (@BlackwellJ_) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    My 2nd days internet outage in a week with @Optus — and they can’t/won’t send a technician out until Tuesday...

  • blake_andersson Gerimima StFrostfirst (@blake_andersson) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @lukeacl @halftimbered @tuppaware @BeauGiles @AppleMusic @Mardukian @twistieman FWIW I’m on Optus (don’t hate me) and I have zero issues like what’s been described ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • debmberger Deb Berger (@debmberger) reported from Brisbane, State of 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.

  • BlackwellJ_ James Blackwell (@BlackwellJ_) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    My 2nd days-long internet outage in a week with @Optus — and they can’t/won’t send a technician out until Tuesday...

  • iamalexsi Alex SI 😷 (@iamalexsi) reported from Brisbane, State of 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...

  • JaseSmith78 Jase Smith (@JaseSmith78) reported from Brisbane, State of 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

  • DezerdaAdvocate Dezer da Advocate (@DezerdaAdvocate) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

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

  • michelle_author Michelle Worthington (@michelle_author) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

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

  • TheOlderGamer52 Robbie Shenton (@TheOlderGamer52) reported from Brisbane, State of 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.

  • DannMallet Dann Mallet (@DannMallet) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Optus mobile and nbn slow tonight

  • lesposen lesposen (@lesposen) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

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

  • CognitiveVerb 💧cognitive verb (@CognitiveVerb) reported from Brisbane, State of 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.

  • Daniel__Nash Daniel (@Daniel__Nash) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus hello, we got a new plan yesterday and the sim is not yet activated. Not in store, not later as told, not thanks to the online chat agent today, and I can't find the way to do it. Kinda need to be able to use the phone... please help.

  • GlenNixon Glen Nixon (@GlenNixon) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    From 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

  • MKWAnthony V2★Anтнøny (@MKWAnthony) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Currently having a blackout and my 4G is garbage at best. Optus letting me down like most people in my life lol

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

    Dear @Optus I can’t do my job with slow internet

  • Tur71e Brett Turville (@Tur71e) reported from Brisbane, State of 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.

  • PerriW2345 Perri Winkle (@PerriW2345) reported

    @Optus @jaybay23911 @Optus would be great if you could list an update to the problem after 12 hours instead of just "under investigation" when entire suburbs don't have internet

  • rovingrob Rob Scriva (@rovingrob) reported

    @imdonncha @Optus @amaysimAU And I don't think the tower I can see from my living room supports 4G as my signal is basically 0. If I switch to 3G full bars!

  • utegirl70 KJ (@utegirl70) reported

    @Optus I finalised my account with your service in January, I had 0.00 payment on my bill. Today I receive a bill for $10.00 for “additional data level”. Just to clarify, I am not with your service anymore. Why am I being charged again?

  • anthony_gerrits 0xAnthony Ω (3,3) (@anthony_gerrits) reported

    @nikos_paxie @Optus Agree, just a hassle moving all phones and nbn off them, screw it I’ll do it. They are absolutely terrible

  • leaveforthecup The Platinum Jubbly (@leaveforthecup) reported

    @jaybay23911 @Optus I called and even though online it said no issues in our area they told me there was an issue after they performed a line test and have escalated, so, who knows?

  • jaybay23911 Jay Bay (@jaybay23911) reported

    @leaveforthecup That's my exact problem. Connected, but no internet. Had the same problem since yesterday. I called @Optus, they said everything is fine on there end but still the problem persist. At least it's not just me.

  • villoksa omg (@villoksa) reported

    I pay 100 million dollars for internet, but I can’t add @Sethrogen **** YOU @Optus

  • farscap8 farscape (@farscap8) reported

    @steelite @Optus Having the same problem not able active the number share after removing the plan from my watch, The tech are blaming the tower maintenance 286951 and 286959 causing the system error "Optus Number Share is currently active"

  • leaveforthecup The Platinum Jubbly (@leaveforthecup) reported

    Anyone else have an issue with an Optus supplied Sagemcom device where you are connected to the internet via NBN and can see the network but can’t connect any device via WIFI? Worked fine all day yesterday until the evening after we had a sight storm.
