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

    Hello again @Optus . I have been on the chat service 1 hr and 45 minutes and this is the most recent message ‘As per checked, there was a usage on it. May I know if this happened to one place? Or to other places?’ Do you deliberately make it difficult to solve problems?

  • 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.

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

    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.

    hi 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.

    Arash (@aimani) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @Optus we haven’t had mobile reception at our house in The Gap 4061 all day. Why the outage and when will it get rectified???

    Bryce Parker (@bryce_parker26) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @TheSportsFreak @OptusStadium That’s really poor I did agree with your point about the WACA the only tests that should be played at Optus are Ashes and India They probably should have given perth a South African tests given the expat population as well

  • 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

  • TheOlderGamer52
    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.

  • 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. 😡

  • 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...

  • Daniel__Nash
    Daniel (@Daniel__Nash) reported from Brisbane, 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.

  • david_odonoghoe
    David O'Donoghoe (@david_odonoghoe) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    dearest @optus , I phoned you, and asked to be put through to the customer retention team. So far, I have been transferred 4 times, and am now on hold.. after being told that the wait time will be 15 minutes. #optus

  • Scribe31oz
    Linda Thackeray (@Scribe31oz) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @Optus I'm ready to go elsewhere. I am 5 days with barely any phone service because you people decide to do upgrades in the middle of a pandemic where people are advised to stay home.

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

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

  • _rigormoris_
    eggs fan page (@_rigormoris_) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @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

  • StephenABeckett
    Stephen Beckett (@StephenABeckett) 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)

    You will hear this more and more... Australia needs another mobile network operator, this will head into a colesworth situation and everyone will suffer.... Wholesaling isn't an option anymore because Telstra and Optus game the system Mark my words, Telop

  • ajdlinux
    Andrew Donnellan (@ajdlinux) reported

    @OperationalInc1 at a very minimum you should need both Telstra *and* Optus to go down, no?

    @StMaryMacKiller So bad the iPad has an Optus chip and the house has been in Starlink for years

  • Ausshot3Dave
    Tweet Whisperer David J Smith (@Ausshot3Dave) reported

    @strangerous10 And they pushed back at global roaming as well. Happens as a default in most countries. Would save a lot of problems if Telstra or Optus shared their networks when network problems arose with any communications provider in Australia 🇦🇺 @AlboMP

  • Ma_rk_e
    M_a_r_ke (@Ma_rk_e) reported

    @heidimur In WA Transporth uses Fibre that runs thought every station and Private Wireless (LTE/4.9G): Transperth doesn't use Telstra or Optus for train-to-ground data. They built a custom, secure wireless network with 160+ dedicated radio masts along the tracks using licensed spectrum.

    @amagickeagle999 You stupid ****. She was mouthing off about increasing standards and enacting penalties for service outages after the Optus crash but has done **** all. So you partisan ******** get some facts, she ****** up.

  • Corlett3jays58
    ramrod (@Corlett3jays58) reported

    @KatyKray73 In the event of a global war, data centres will be prioriy targets for bombs, missiles, and emp nukes, because.... These data centres will control everything. Ffs, telstra and optus outages caused enough disruption, imagine a total testra and optus blackout, multiply that by 100

    dan 🤞 (@Fisherking79) reported

    @jlandsme_93 The media in WA refuse to press Optus management over it. The drainage system there has issues all the time. The soil develops a slippery biofilm on it due to the **** drainage system

  • TigerAncient
    Ancient Tiger (@TigerAncient) reported

    @TonyShepherd4 As the shadow minister for emergency communications it is great she tested the system. It was supposed to switch to another network (e.g. Telstra to Optus) in case of an outage of one of them. That didn't occur and she found a fault there. I expect my elected parliamentarians to test the systems they have a portfolio of. By the way, as soon as Teltra asked her not to test it again, she stopped. Good try there, though, but again, you landed well short of common sense.
