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

    @Optus and @NBN_Australia your network is shocking. I don’t think there’s been a day since Christmas that we’ve had a full day without network outage and connection dropping to the level where the internet just can’t be used. Seriously, just unacceptable for the price we pay. 😡

  • BorisOsery Boris Osery (@BorisOsery) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @OptusNewsRoom I ordered a SIM card online on the 25/09/20. The Optus site says 3/5 business days delivery time. Optus can you tell me should your advertising be 30/50 business days delivery?? It’s the 12/10/20??? 🤬 WTF

  • etredoo D (@etredoo) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @optus HUGE MASSIVE THANK YOU for being the provider that got our NBN installed in less than a week!! No text messages back and forth for 6 weeks just damn amazing service! @Telstra 6 weeks of bullshit text messages vs 1 week and NBN installed #yesoptus

  • _rigormoris_ eggs fan page (@_rigormoris_) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @rab_s It’s so ******* annoying they ALWAYS get the first attempt wrong to a business and it only arrives successfully after optus email them letting them know the business name and floor. How ******** don’t they have a work around for this yet? it’s incredible

  • BorisOsery Boris Osery (@BorisOsery) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus Your stupid sales assistant says she’ll give feedback, & no I’m not fkn patient cos I can’t make outgoing calls cos you fkn idiots don’t live up to your promises.....simple as that💪🏿

  • mr_mouse Mr. Mouse (@mr_mouse) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus is the a known issue with Fetch streaming? I’m on Optus NBN and have no issues with any other internet/streaming services. Streamed channels not reliable, on demand (e.g. BBC catch-up) not working at all. Done soft reset, still broken.

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

  • etredoo D (@etredoo) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @optus HUGE MASSIVE THANK YOU for being the provider that got our NBN installed in less than 2 weeks. No text messages back and forth for 6 weeks just amazing service! @Telstra you need to take a leaf out of their book 6 weeks of bullshit vs 2 weeks and NBN installed #yesoptus

  • NigelBell19 💧Nigel Bell (@NigelBell19) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Greybeard3 @JohnBirmingham @Optus I didn't go to TPG but I did leave Optus. I twice had to call to cancel, going through the whole process twice. But, for over a year now, Optus still sends me monthly invoices that (a) state that I have a 9 cent credit & (b) the 9 cents is zeroed off at the end of each invoice.

  • itsOnlykhem ThatGirl (@itsOnlykhem) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Wth @Optus! What is up with the service today. It’s been lagging all day and it’s driving me insane. FIX IT!

  • duttonkona andrew dutton (@duttonkona) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Been 2 days without NBN in Mansfield qld. Silence from @optus but they confirm there is an outage.

  • damienpbuckley Damien Buckley (@damienpbuckley) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @simonswiss @Optus Switch to Telstra mate. I know everyone loves to hate them but you can’t beat their mobile network

  • blake_andersson Blake (@blake_andersson) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    After putting it off for months, walked into Optus and sorted the issues with my plan, got a better deal and a 12Pro. Procrastiwin?

  • mr_mouse Mr. Mouse (@mr_mouse) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus I’ve done all the checks. IView, etc. all work fine on the Fetch box. It’s the streaming channels that take ages to start and give streaming errors. Catch-up like BBC First are really bad and often fail to start a show, showing a streaming error. Looks like Fetch service prob.

  • Flansq Twenny-Juanita. (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @ch1ch01 @Optus The issue resolved itself once I left that immediate area but had to get a few towers away first.

  • MonBLeaves Monica Bradley (@MonBLeaves) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @ConniePaul2018 @EnolaGrae @CNN What about the families of 100,000 Covid deaths from #Optus incompetence. Grow up you elected a guy with the temperament of a 5 year old WTF

  • JoGierke Jo (@JoGierke) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus so we are now into week 3 of no service to my Apple Watch and no idea when this will be fixed even though I have had a tech unpair my watch many times, many attempts and trips to the store and 2 new sims... what’s the plan @Optus move back to @VodafoneAU

  • Flansq Twenny-Juanita. (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @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.

  • Flansq Twenny-Juanita. (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @ch1ch01 @Optus Yeah. I reported as well — and also raised it in live chat. Spoke with another person on Optus here and they also have the same issue (actually said it’s regular at this location)

  • ITrustLabor Dirk (@ITrustLabor) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus Harrison want to add that there is no reduction/compensation in the monthly payment when no service for hours/days.

  • bbigmak Cam McIntyre (@bbigmak) reported

  • siddlaha Sidd. (@siddlaha) reported

    Can Kayo or Optus please buy the rights to show European football? I can’t stand more of Craig Foster. And who is this George RR Martin looking dude on a bad skype connection?

  • nicolemdesign Nicole Mallalieu (@nicolemdesign) reported

    @Optus My second email address (of 10+ years) has disappeared from my account. Phone help sent me around in circles before instructing I use web chat. Web chat tells me to log in (I'm logged in) or go back to previous page.. which sends me around in the same circle. Who can help?
