  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • 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🤔

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

    Optus mobile and nbn slow tonight

  • 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.

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

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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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

  • JoelTHFC Joel (@JoelTHFC) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Daniel__Nash Haha Optus rotate presenters every four hours, sometimes 2. Hang in there bud!

  • 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…

  • 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)_/¯

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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.

Optus Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • PersiaPhotos Persian Rose (@PersiaPhotos) reported

    @9NewsAUS I got a new SIM card from Optus after the hacking scandal. I called their support centre to activate it bcos the app wouldn't work. The lady asking for all my personal details was based in the Philippines. Do we even learn from these mistakes? @AlboMP @OptusSport

  • Barefootnurse1 The Barefoot Nurse (@Barefootnurse1) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    When Optus was hacked, state governments were quick to offer support for victims with new ID, nothing for Medicare customers, why the difference in response? The support from Medicare at this point has been pathetic. #thedrum

  • meatyhenri MEATYHENRI (@meatyhenri) reported

    @aussiemuscleXXX @TransDeleted Optus? Are you poor?

  • normal_ness Vanessa Smith (@normal_ness) reported

    @noshamecreative @AlboMP I assume it means "if you have problems later we don't want you to sue us". Though credit to Medibank (AHM), their comms have been far superior to Optus'

  • DavidShoebridge David Shoebridge (@DavidShoebridge) reported

    Most of the Govt’s response has been about much needed tougher penalties, but there's no extra funding to fix the damage already caused to millions of Australians through Optus, Medibank & other major data leaks. We need a response that goes beyond penalties & reactive measures.

  • aussiemuscleXXX Alex_k (@aussiemuscleXXX) reported

    @TransDeleted I mean I’m with Optus and I have Telstra promotional emails sent to me. #rude

  • neilrich75 Neil (@neilrich75) reported

    @Optus hi - are there issues in the Brisbane area? I can’t seem to use any data at the moment.

  • wierdwolf99 Ron Saunders (@wierdwolf99) reported

    @churchmouse22 hi Kathryn, I had the same problem, and I found a solution. No Optus helper suggested clearing the "Sent" box (mentioned in some support texts). Clear old unimportant "Sent" messages. My box went from 478 Mb down to 18 Mb

  • lansj john lans (@lansj) reported

    @ClareONeilMP @Medibank like @Optus before made it our problem when its theirs. Why are they monitoring the dark web and notifying their customers of fraud? Because they are lazy and incompetent perhaps?
