  • AlexJSmithy Alex Smith (@AlexJSmithy) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Telstra Matthew, thanks for the offer but @Telstra mobile coverage is so poor at my house that extra data is not much use. In fact I have to rely on wificalling to use the mobile. Fortunately our other mobiles are on @Optus which has great coverage.

  • brandonlung_ brandon (@brandonlung_) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @lavosaurus Oh shit that’s decent! A while back I saw Optus doing a specia that was $40 for 80gb, so that’s what I’m realllly hoping for eventually. Also just realised my plan ends in October so your way might be able to happen sooner than later haha

  • Dr_Xiang_Li Xiang Li 李翔 (@Dr_Xiang_Li) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @TWBredy @martinalexsmith ...... OPTUS so slow

  • AlexJSmithy Alex Smith (@AlexJSmithy) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Telstra It has a yargi rooftop antenna. Installer says the issue is alignment of distant cells and jumping from one to other and dropping out. Have 4 bars on Optus.

  • 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

  • samf_66 Sam (@samf_66) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @NBN_Australia @Optus NBN HFC 6 weeks of daily multiple dropouts. 4 NBN tech visits + 1 Optus & the issue is still not resolved. Optus modem replaced, NTD replaced, F-connectors replaced but tech not permitted check the connection on the street. Farcical!

  • DanielBox87 Daniel Box 🇬🇧🇦🇺 (@DanielBox87) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @falmouth_wolf Im watching on optus sport, they're just as biased towards city. Never get any credit do little old #wolves

  • LemStar71 Lema Niumata Noel (@LemStar71) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    I’m so disappointed with your service tonight @Optus, chatted with 3 people who disconnected on me 3 times, I just called & the guy said he cldn’t access my details to call back in 2hrs. We haven’t been able to get connection. #nothappy

  • mycrouch Jason Crouch (@mycrouch) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus Bit hit and miss. If I turn airplane mode on and off it reconnects just fine. I’ve also reset my phones network settings. It’s happened a couple of times today. I’ll monitor it.

  • WhiplashUnited Mickey Dee (@WhiplashUnited) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus even when you send a new modem I have the same problems. This is just getting ridiculous now.

  • brandonlung_ brandon (@brandonlung_) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @lavosaurus Ooh that’s sick! Someone told me to complain about my wifi being shit (Optus as well) and they’ll give me free stuff, so maybe I do both and get all the benefits haha

  • samf_66 Sam (@samf_66) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @NBN_Australia The problem is the techs that are sent won’t check the connection on the street. They change something internally for no good reason and report back that the fault is fixed which it is not. I go back to @Optus and the same process happens again.

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

    @cathywilcox1 @Optus I hope they're a having a good hard look at themselves after loosing my phone 18 days ago, and refusing me a loan phone, refusing to suspend my network access charges and refusing to replace the original handset, which was still under warranty

  • hillyshoist Hilly73 (@hillyshoist) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    If your after some useless customer support look no further than #Apple and #optus another cracked screen and no assistance. Looks like #telstra and #Samsung will be the winners here

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

    @Optus my 4G broadband at #stafford is so bad. Either that or the @Huawei modem. Not an isolated event. Really question the advertising around super fast 4g. Every night a snail pace speed. #nbn #broadband #nombps #slowinternet

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

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

  • Dr_Xiang_Li Xiang Li 李翔 (@Dr_Xiang_Li) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @martinalexsmith @TWBredy Jealous,locked in for another 6 month with this optus ADSL service...

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

    @Telstra @Optus.. Please help my darling wife I miss her 😢 #auspol #NBN

  • WhiplashUnited Mickey Dee (@WhiplashUnited) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Can’t even watch a five minute video because .@optus is useless. Worse still it’s NBN.I pay $85 month for a failing service. Rort.

    @BillyCrazy2 Hi Billy, we're sorry to hear about the issues you're experiencing with the My Optus App. We recommend deleting and re-installing the app if you haven't done so already. Please send us a DM if you're still experiencing issues. Tam

  • 96Mrbsa Stuart Bland (@96Mrbsa) reported

    @TooheyMatthew Got an email a few days ago from Telstra saying that I would be removed as a contact from our @Telstra acct, if I wasn't updated as a contact. Service is in wife's name, email is mine. Just been hacked coz, Medibank, Optus, AGL...all of them and now Telstra wants us to trust them

  • MiaMiAlma Dany (@MiaMiAlma) reported

    @Optus Hi, my company's account # is 62197651151, currently my internet is down, also my phones, can you please let me know if your service is down? If so, when will it back? Thanks.

  • peternlewis Peter N Lewis (@peternlewis) reported

    @Optus Why? No one ever does anything. There is never any admission that it is outside of my house that is the problem. It's just endless goes around with reset modems (as if my modem suddenly has the wrong settings) etc until eventually the problem resolves itself.

  • PaulFeola Paul Feola (@PaulFeola) reported

    @Optus I can't make or receive a phone call from my house over the last 3 days. I called optus and received little to no solution to the issue. Instead he just tried to up sell me on a plan, when my current plan doesn't even work. I really need this fixed asap.

  • _BridgeTooFar BridgeTooFar (@_BridgeTooFar) reported

    As a victim of both the @medibank and @Optus customer data fire sales on the dark web I have to say both of your responses are total ****. I’m left to my own devices to fight the tsunami of phishing emails, text messages and phone calls from scam farms while still /2

  • Jugeyfruits Juge (@Jugeyfruits) reported

    @timdotexe @Optus Give Aussie broadband a look, they've been superb for me. Fantastic customer service and no issues with anything! If you do, use this referal code to get $50 credit: 7979438

  • bozwhite Boz (@bozwhite) reported

    @DeanRosario @souwalker @ParamountPlusAU Not unique to Optus either. Look at other streaming sports like kayo about 2 years ago had some issues as well. What people call in tech and streaming industry as teething issues. All streaming apps have it. FTA networks are not immune from this either in nightly news bulletins

  • LearnKotch Brady_All_The_Way (@LearnKotch) reported

    @Optus Optus Chat has now responded with a new code. I will work with them on resolving this issue. Thanks for your help.

  • PaulFeola Paul Feola (@PaulFeola) reported

    @Optus There’s an issue that has been ongoing for 3 days - I can’t call anyone or receive calls from certain phones. On both my work phone and personal phone. Customer service didn’t seem that interested in helping, any chance you can?
