    @Anthony_Klan They are id##ts I got a letter today but it was addressed to my house but with someone else’s name, I’ve lived at this address for 32 years and have been a optus customer since then 😳

  • Bf99Floyd
    Bev Floyd 🇦🇺 (@Bf99Floyd) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    Everything 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.

    @AnitaHeiss @Optus I’ve had two emails confirming my data had been breached even though I haven’t been a customer since 2005

    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

  • 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.

    Joshua Byrd (@phocks) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    tbh private health insurance shouldn't even exist (neither should private telecommunications - looking at you optus) and should be shut down immediately as they've proven they can't be trusted with our data, but that's another story /rant over

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

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

    After telling the optus chat line that my house had burned down and that I had tried repeatedly to get the nbn cancelled (which I am still paying for), she asked me, and I kid you not, if I had tried turning it off and turning it back on again. I…I don’t know how to answer.

  • 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.

  • RuaBrithem
    Rua Uilliam (💉💉💉 Pagan Prole Sewer Rat) (@RuaBrithem) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    The 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.

  • lissyvz67
    Lissy (@lissyvz67) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    Is it an #optus tactic to make getting something fixed so difficult that customers just give up? I've had no nbn since 16th February and no one at #optus seems to care or want to help her the nbn working again. My son works from home. This is just not acceptable.

  • MattIsNE1
    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.

  • duttonkona
    andrew dutton (@duttonkona) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    Been 2 days without NBN in Mansfield qld. Silence from @optus but they confirm there is an outage.

  • babybrit
    babybrit (@babybrit) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @DezMaggs @Optus No contact from them to me either but thanks to @TrendMicro nearly 6,000 spam sms scams have been prevented... I struggle to even have service on certain days and times... it sucks.

  • Guesty22
    Matt Guest (@Guesty22) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    I really wish my @Optus 5G WiFi would not drop out every ten mins. Been nothing but trouble since we had it. Need to go back to NBN awful signal.

  • 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.

  • Flansq
    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.

    @GladysB Optus garbage service is a backwards step for Australia

  • etredoo
    D (@etredoo) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @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

    Francis McF (@FrancisMcF1O) reported

    Regional reality check: Telstra = service. Optus = maybe. Vodafone = forget it. If only one network works outside the cities, that’s not a market — that’s a monopoly.

  • ali_kyteler
    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.

  • AlexeyButovMP
    Alexey Butov (@AlexeyButovMP) reported

    @Optus @maxxthum Can you also stopped getting hacked while you’re at it and fix 000?

  • Optus
    Optus (@Optus) reported

    @LydiaAmesha Sorry to hear you may be experiencing issues with your Optus internet. If the issue is only persistent whilst viewing the SBS stream, it would most likely be an issue on their end. However, if you are facing issues with your Optus network in general outside the SBS stream, please send us a Private Message, so we can look into the issue for you further. -Jay

  • doingwritebyme
    leon (not kin) (@doingwritebyme) reported

    Hey @Optus how is it that I cannot pay you MORE money to add a device to my plan because of a "contract limitation" I was never told about to begin with. Worst customer experience I've ever had, will be cancelling all my services as will my friends and family.

  • AussiePunter32
    Andrew Carter (@AussiePunter32) reported

    @7AFL $3b **** right off with that bullshit it’s a ******* ground improvement not a ******* weapon system, someone is pocketing a fortune. The total cost of Optus Stadium, the train station & the surrounding precinct was $1.6 billion which included extensive ground reclamation🤬

  • kanethesaint
    K•A•N•E (@kanethesaint) reported

    @Teh_Jkr @Optus Prepaid is the best option. No more need for greedy companies like Optus! One of the worst employers around after Telstra!

  • AdamBurgessWatl
    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,

    @Teh_Jkr @Optus Phone plans are the ******* devil. Designed to keep you handing over money. Get a prepaid SIM card and never look back. Watch your wallet grow too.

    @ProudLeftyHatr @AustralianCelt @SkyNewsAust Petal, those flights have been checked and passed by the parliamentary office. She had other flights booked, they were cancelled as Wells dealt with the Optus fall out. Last minute flights were secured. Acting like this has never happened before is just pathetic. Born yesterday?
