  • ChersCherpman Chapmanden (@ChersCherpman) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Optus is possibly one of the worst internet providers 😂 0.06mbps

  • PaulJohnHodgson Paul Hodgson (@PaulJohnHodgson) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Sad to say goodbye to Virgin Mobile Australia after many years of exceptional service. Yesterday and today I have had 3 unsuccessful live chats and 1 unsuccessful call to @Optus to activate a new SIM and port my son’s mobile number. Still have no idea what’s going on.

  • dansheps_ MurfasaurusRex (@dansheps_) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus This is still a major issue... dont you run isolation tests before doing major upgrades.. im hoping this cost your millions in lost revenue if not billions.

  • Dnball62 David (@Dnball62) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @David_TaskerIR @Optus Why does it take a posting on Twitter to get them moving. People are fed up with poor performance from these large telco companies!

  • BMac_TLDR Brian MacNamara (@BMac_TLDR) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus Hi Vicky it is 4114, am I reading it correctly that our service will be out for 5 days due to maintenance

  • raymanoz Raymond Barlow (@raymanoz) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @alan_in_oz @SelW08 @Optus What BS! Pretty sure they will refund you for the days of no-service.

  • SucCess0783 Mark Cecil (@SucCess0783) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Dear @Optus telling us you have system issues and we need to call back in 3hrs after having ongoing internet issues for over 2 months is not good enough. How about you show your customers some #customerservice and call us back. We will be going elsewhere #poorservice #Internet

  • BMac_TLDR Brian MacNamara (@BMac_TLDR) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Dear @optus your cable Internet has been down all day, is there any chance of getting an update as to how much longer it will be

  • jimmcslim James Webster (@jimmcslim) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus My Account login is dangerously broken at the moment, I was just logged in as some other user. An attempt to log back in is now resulting in an infinite loop.

  • GuinnessGirl13 Helena 📺⚽🌻🎶🇮🇪☘ (@GuinnessGirl13) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus I have to say your customer experience is non existent by phone. It is pretty much impossible to speak to human being or find a number to get through to. I call sales to try and got left on hold for 10 mins. I hung up #NotHappyJan

  • dgr_dgr Daniel Rose (@dgr_dgr) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    I went to the shops today to get info on NBN plans. Spoke with @Telstra , @Optus , @VodafoneAU and @DodoAustralia . One decision was made - I will never give 1c to @DodoAustralia . Rude, condescending and made me feel I was wasting their time asking questions.

  • MissDRidders Donna Ridley (@MissDRidders) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus That’s for that - there was a tower outage

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

    Congratulations @Optus you have the WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE and as for your ‘Help Desk’ they to would win awards for incompetence.

  • lachgriffiths Lachie (@lachgriffiths) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Telstra It may be officially time to jump boat to OPTUS, not ideal situation but after the last 3 months of my Internet randomly going down for days at time with no explanation the frustration is a 10/10.

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

    Ok so @Optus kills off @virginmobile and make all customers switch to #Optus. The process has been a total stuffup. Hours spent on chat and then they cancel #Virgin service before Optus works. Oh and then it takes yet another chat. Makes @Telstra look amazing #pissedoff

  • pmgee76 Peter Gee (@pmgee76) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    The worse customer service around. @Optus

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

    @Optus No it’s not. I’m demonstrating the difference between your previous cable service and nbn FttN

  • sonyantony Sony Antony (@sonyantony) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Optus Internet ,you’re are the terrible home internet service provider i have ever used . Can’t even reach your customer service. @Optus

  • sonyantony Sony Antony (@sonyantony) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus Seems like its somewhat okay now . Home internet was too slow .thanks for the reply . Appreciate your effort.

  • lukerhn Luke (@lukerhn) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    It’s taken 30min via @Optus livechat to reset a password and setup online billing. Never thought I’d say this but @Telstra is actually better at customer service

  • engagedpractx Daniel Reeders 🏳️‍⚧️ (@engagedpractx) reported

    Heart attack... it appears I may have lost my mobile number in the porting process, due to @optus terminating my service two days earlier than requested. On the phone trying to sort it out.

  • JacMay19 Jac (@JacMay19) reported

    Day 2 of my @Optus saga. I just want to pay my bill. I can't use the app I'm shut out of. I can't use the link on the email without giving up more information to a system that is not working. UTTERLY RIDICULOUS.

  • wheresistherain rainy days (@wheresistherain) reported

    @Optus Now the dr is trying to call with results for my daughter! No service yet again

  • rodneaves007 rod neaves (@rodneaves007) reported

    @HPE_GreenLake @HPE fletcher dont work for u does he . he watered down security at optus to save a buck . haha . get out of optus .we did . trouble after troble . yes we ca prove it

  • SenPaterson James Paterson (@SenPaterson) reported

    He’s given it to the already very busy Attorney General. But before the election Albanese said: ‘cybersecurity needs to be someone’s day job, not the last item on another minister’s to-do list’. No wonder the govts response to Optus and Medibank has been so slow and inadequate

  • GMKitson Glenn Kitson (@GMKitson) reported

    @swollenpickles Good lord that woman is so dishonest. Optus is a garbage company.

  • BibaWythes Beebs (@BibaWythes) reported

    Imagine if you were both a Medibank AND Optus customer right now 😬 #medibank #optus

  • mikeypine Michael Pine (@mikeypine) reported

    @sassycarrie They have a blurb on their site about the Optus data breach as well so I imagine a LOT of people are going down that path.

  • DoodyDarren Darren (@DoodyDarren) reported

    @IanMcMi38908747 @AlboMP What do you suggest, a new publicly owned telco perhaps? Talk to Telstra, Optus and co. They are the ones who can fix the problem.

  • sassycarrie Sassy Carrie (@sassycarrie) reported

    @mikeypine Yeah I already did. That’s why optus called me. This was their “resolution”. To say sorry and not let me out of the contract. Change my license number and offer equinax.
