  • 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

  • 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...

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • parslow77 Lliam Parslow (@parslow77) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Watching Liverpool this morning on Optus Miss 12 walks down the hall waking from her slumber and spots the Nike Ad. “Look Dad!, it’s @samkerr1!!”

  • 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)_/¯

  • gb7004 greg bradley (@gb7004) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus Dear @Optus I havre tried and spent over 15 hours trying to sort this out, including your ‘help’ desk which does nothing, as you can see from the images all you people do is lie

  • 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…

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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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

  • 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.

  • gb7004 greg bradley (@gb7004) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Dear @Optus you are a disgrace, cancel my ADSL as I am signed up to NBN well I would be but still waiting for a modem from you from 10th Oct, rang help desk and Annika CB690949 was going to ring me back in 10/15 minutes 40 minutes.

  • 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.

  • LesStonehouse Politic@l Spinner (@LesStonehouse) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @FearbySoftware Optus for over 20 years.. Never had a problem.. Fingers crossed

  • davidjfindlay David Findlay (@davidjfindlay) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Good work @Optus I recommended you to my father, but after buying a SIM he’s spent hours failing to get it activated via your automated customer anti-service system which is apparently designed to thwart victims from getting to speak to a person. Never recommending you again.

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

Optus Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ali_saenz Ali Saenz 🏆🏆🏆🏆🥄 (@ali_saenz) reported

    @Joe__Curtis @VinceRugari Yeah, the price isn’t an issue for me. It’s just that I don’t watch Optus Sport enough to be paying extra for it. Haven’t touched it at all this year.

  • ElliottRichard1 Elliott Richardson (@ElliottRichard1) reported

    The price of sporting subscriptions is too damn high, especially with this Optus price hike. For Liverpool fans this season, if they wanted to watch every match across all competitions it would cost $83/month with the new Optus price. That's $830 for the entire season.

  • vincheesel vincheesel (@vincheesel) reported

    @Optus really bad data stream around Taylors Lakes/Watergardens in VIC today

  • GuidoTresoldi ***** Tresoldi (@GuidoTresoldi) reported

    As someone who never subscribed to Optus all this outrage is baffling. I always thought you had to pay to watch the football.

  • VinceRugari Vince Rugari (@VinceRugari) reported

    I understand why Optus had to do this, and if you're a customer it's a price increase that most people can absorb. But the reality is it's just getting more and more expensive to be a football person in Australia and the cost is continually being borne by the little guy.

  • garthmarenghi12 BetterOffRed (@garthmarenghi12) reported

    @VinceRugari 💯 going to cancel my Optus sports sub and going to get another WSW membership and go to games.

  • davidmhk1 Bergkamp (@davidmhk1) reported

    @KevinAirs am I missing something? If an Optus customer, that's a reduction from $15 to $7? Got my wife's mobile plan on Optus for this very purpose.

  • SFCU SFCU (@SFCU) reported

    @jonzey0 @VinceRugari Given my experience with Optus billing there's going to be a crap-ton of credits refunded to accounts during September and October as people realise. Competence in billing isn't their strong suit.

  • jonzey0 Nathan Jones (@jonzey0) reported

    @VinceRugari Real expensive being a football fan… Optus now doubling prices after losing content to Stan Stan looks good quality, but the price is silly for the amount of football content Paramount is cheap, but only really has the A-League and is a poor app Kayo/Fox have the rest

  • UrielQuinn Counterfeit God (@UrielQuinn) reported

    G'day @Optus ...just wondering about this less than optimal phone service in Central Victoria. Any chance of an upgrade in the near future?
