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

  • CommonGroundAu

    @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.

    @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.

  • 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.

    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!!”

    ScubaSteve (@fanaticeel) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @peter__kay I think many will abandon Optus. At least the state governments have agreed to allow people to change their licences however that doesn't help those who used their passports. I hope it doesn't happen but someone could lose a lot of money

  • StephenABeckett
    Stephen Beckett (@StephenABeckett) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @Optus trying to change my voicemail message to say I’m on leave. Apparently my phone number is invalid. Pls help

  • 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.

  • djgillespie9
    David J Gillespie (@djgillespie9) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    Come on @kayosports fix your streaming 👎 Don’t tell me that it’s my speed, I’ve got ultimate speed!!! No problems with other apps - like Optus Sports 🤔

  • laciheiter
    Laszlo Heiter (@laciheiter) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @Optus Thanks. I have had several conversations and chats with customer service. I stopped reporting the issues, as it’s mainly nbn issues and it’s really frustrating. Paying $70 a month for the service you can hardly use is just outrageous. Text messages coming through advising outages

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • gb7004
    greg bradley (@gb7004) reported from Brisbane, 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

  • 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.

  • emeerana
    Imran Ali Rana (@emeerana) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    Fix your **** @Telstra don't let your customers switch to Optus. ******* nightmare!

  • davidjfindlay
    David Findlay (@davidjfindlay) reported from Brisbane, 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.

  • Matteris
    :Matt. (@Matteris) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @EVillainess @markrayfield2 @Jeremy_Kirk Better check the ACMA carrier legislation and then the audit requirements. 👍 Optus have failed to maintain customer privacy. Failed to secure the private data AND have failed to protect data IMO this was a deliberate act from cabal to force a cyber security event in the future.

  • Flansq
    Bonshaquita’lafondria (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @_marty_k I dumped Voda for poor 5G coverage and rollout. Optus is still much better in that regard.

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

    @sandyhunter2 @Apple I would just say the Optus Sim hasn’t “engaged” yet ... I know sounds stupid but try the ol “turn off turn on” trick

  • twasink
    Robert Watkins (@twasink) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @haruki_zaemon @Optus I’ll try again when I upgrade my phone (which arrives in a couple of weeks). That will include shifting to a new 5G plan, which will hopefully fix the weirdness.

    @BigDog_USA @Telstra You must be deaf and blind. It was a massive outrage when Optus went down too. Not everything is about an agenda **** head.

  • DonaldS61870
    Donald Saavedra (@DonaldS61870) reported

    @Batman2242 I'm on Optus . had no idea Telstra had gone down.

  • Thelandofark

    @matt_barrie @van00sa And the Optus network went down right after Albanese visited Beijing in November 2023.

  • VDejan0000

    @NoticerNews Same reason for the recent Optus outage. This woke CEO & Labor government needs to swing.

  • ladybugfunk
    Ladybugfunk (@ladybugfunk) reported

    @OMGTheMess She was supposed to implement a new BCP after the Optus outage. What are we paying her to do? Other than drink champagne on her business class flights? What has she actually achieved? Does anyone know?

  • jez99
    Jeremy (@jez99) reported

    What an absolute joke from Telstra today. Changed companies to them from Optus over their outage a few years ago and it still happens. Had no connection all morning.

    @BinManIan Even if we were to propose the oval stadiums, the AFL is too greedy and has too much influence, they'll never allow the use of the MCG, Adelaide Oval and Optus Stadium for a month

  • evangelinestuff
    Evangeline (@evangelinestuff) reported

    @thmsenglsh i used to work at telstra and we had even more data breaches and outages than optus did but telstras like besties with every australian media outlet and funds alot of their services so everyone just bags on optus instead, telstra genuinely sucks

  • AK22762976
    A K (@AK22762976) reported

    @PaulBongiorno Oh woe is me ! Just purchase a sim card supported by Optus [this is redundancy contingency] when Telstra goes off line swap out their sim & slot in the backup & vice versa. Alteratively purchase a dual sim phone which allows you to switch between service providers

  • CaseyMcGregorAu
    Casey McGregor (@CaseyMcGregorAu) reported

    So we have another outage impacting 000 calls in Australia, this time by Telstra. This has already happened with Optus twice if I recall. Enough is enough. Renationalise Telstra and Optus, and give them all the funding needed to maintain, develop and expand our telecommunications infrastructure across Australia in the interests of the people rather than private and foreign shareholders. #auspol
