    @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

  • 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

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

    @Optus We seem to have an outage in the 4506 postcode.

    @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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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?

  • 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💪🏿

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • _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

  • Bf99Floyd Bev Floyd 🇦🇺 (@Bf99Floyd) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Everything in my world seems to be taking longer. My computer has slowed down. I no longer have email.(Optus has no online techicnical team). It took me an hour and a half to get through to Telstra. My washing machine is broken. My TV doesn't work. All I have is Twitter. TGFT.

  • 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 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)

  • labrooy61 Garth Hughes (@labrooy61) reported

    @hotnutbar @LesStonehouse @Optus Out where I live Optus has much better coverage than Telstra with the mobile signal. I used to be with Optus but they absolutely stink with their customer service so my mobile is through amaysim (cheaper and better customer service).

  • dizziedame28 Loo Roberts II 💉💉 (@dizziedame28) reported

    @LesStonehouse @Optus Only way to deal with Optus is razz the **** out them on FB and Twitter. And I really mean razz them.

  • 25MMCC Ema Proud Prole, Sewer Rat, Bot and Trot. (@25MMCC) reported

    @LesStonehouse Shame on Optus. Any other providers that are bit more service- focussed?

  • buschmann_josh Josh Buschmann (@buschmann_josh) reported

    @Optus Internet been dropping out constantly since Monday in 3437 area. Happens at least once a month for days at a time, service is horrible and unusable for working conditions and anything else. ETA on a fix? Considering a new ISP. If you can even smell rain your service drops.

  • aussieblonk geoff (@aussieblonk) reported

    just wasted an hour online to @Optus #whatadisgrace. #poor. Service? yeah right...

  • SmeeHereAgain Joe -GoEarly-GoHard_GoHousholds (@SmeeHereAgain) reported

    @LesStonehouse @Optus Why use optus or telstra The biggest players are the most expensive and the biggest under performers in the market. Plenty of excellent smaller players out there. When I was troubleshooting internet problems the calls were always for the main players

  • Fluckit2Fluckit Flowers fluff (@Fluckit2Fluckit) reported

    Oh *******. Just spent 45 plus minutes talking to chat bot at optus for a refund on a closed account. Refund is $5. My Time spent cost $50. No wonder people don't bother

  • acmejc 💧🐨 🄹🄾🄷🄽 🄲🄾🅄🄰🄽🄸 #2AZ #2CI (@acmejc) reported

    @LesStonehouse @Optus Time for another provider. I like iiNet but it depends what’s available in the area. Optus support notoriously bad.

  • ewster ‏Ewen Bell (@ewster) reported

    @LesStonehouse Been a long time since I had internet with Optus. They sub-contract everything. Installers used a cable box that went wobbly in the afternoon sun. Optus refused to even try and fix it. I changed to another provider and never had problems since.

  • JoGwatkin Joanne G-W (@JoGwatkin) reported

    @LesStonehouse @Optus Oh dear, its awful isn't it - my 96 y.o. mum has troubles too with Telstra and self & husband live remotely where we can only get Telstra (& no mobile) and we can spend months & months without a 'phone ... & we run a business from home. Universal Service? Nightmare.
