Rua Uilliam (💉💉💉 Pagan Prole Sewer Rat) (@RuaBrithem) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandThe plumber ****** the NBN cable and I am now without wifi and phone. Plumber notntaming responsibility because it wasn’t “regulation”. Waiting to hear back from Optus to see when NBN can come out to fix it.
-
Boris Osery (@BorisOsery) reported from Brisbane, 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
-
Politic@l Spinner (@LesStonehouse) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandMy poor almost 90 year old mother in law has just lost hundreds with a scam on her landline.. She spent almost an hour thinking it was Optus gave them all the details they needed ..nightmare for my wife on the phone to the bank for hours trying to fix everything up.. **** 🤔
-
James Cridland (@JamesCridland) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Yeahbutnaahh @Optus Optus informed me last week that my Australian passport number has been compromised. Narrator: James didn't have an Australian passport when he was an Optus customer. He is confused.
-
Steve Putt (@EthicalAdviser) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@glendat45 @Optus Its mistake after mistake and no service to sought it out. Congratulations on your grandchild!!
-
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
-
LimeEyed (@LimeEyed) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus stop trying to bill me for a service i cancelled
-
Jase Smith (@JaseSmith78) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@GaryNunn1 Aldi mobile uses the Telstra network without the Telstra price... but not sure if it supports things like multi devices or Apple Watch - I put my husband on $35 Optus plan (plus $15 to link iPad and the watch was free for the first year) with 30gb
-
Joel (@JoelTHFC) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Daniel__Nash Haha Optus rotate presenters every four hours, sometimes 2. Hang in there bud!
-
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
-
eggs fan page (@_rigormoris_) reported from Brisbane, 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
-
Lliam Parslow (@parslow77) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandWatching 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!!”
-
Nathan John Kearney (@nothingkanye) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandHow is @Optus so incredibly bad? It's my 4th time on customer support since I got mobile broadband one month ago because the internet isn't working.
-
Barry Rutherford | Parkrun fan (@barryrutherford) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@InsidersABC Including me who was last an Optus customer in2005
-
Politic@l Spinner (@LesStonehouse) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandHi @Optus no internet since early this morning which means landline phone's not working.. we have a sick mother-in-law who needs to communicate with us.. could you please Mark this is urgent in the Mitchelton area cheers
-
Laszlo Heiter (@laciheiter) reported from Brisbane, 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. 😡
-
Twenny-Juanita. (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, 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.
-
Steve Medley (@stevemedley) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus no internet, called support, told ling wait use message system, talked to a bot, no reply still no internet! Useless!
-
Bonshaquita’lafondria (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@_marty_k Ugh. No thank you. I haven’t used a SimCard at all since I moved to Optus. When I ported from vids phone on the iPhone 12, I just activated via the app. Same deal with the 14PM. Just had to phone to get them to issue a new eSim to the app (transfer phone to phone didn’t work)
-
Blake (@blake_andersson) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandAfter putting it off for months, walked into Optus and sorted the issues with my plan, got a better deal and a 12Pro. Procrastiwin?

AAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (@slizeoo) reported@DumbFoxFurry Every single carrier is so *** telstra pre paid costs your kidney for a 7 day recharge optus is Optus and vodafone has garbage coverage in my experience
-
Peter Colbert (@PeterJColbert) reportedHere is the kicker. I was there b/c my father has Parkinson and border line Dementia which Abu knew at 383 George St. Abu tried to get the attention of the manager who was with a customer along with another Optus colleague and he brushed Abu away without even acknowledging Abu. Being also brushed off angrily by the guy at World Trade Square (witnessed by another angry customer) and had not opened the store at required time only shows Optus has a serious cultural problem which I’m sure Ben Fordam at 2GB will find interesting tomorrow when I email him.
-
Svyatoslav Pidgorny 🇺🇦🇦🇺 (@Slav636) reported@bexcran IPv6 is massive in India, first class support by JIO. There are carriers that hold on to IPv4-only. Australia’s Optus is one. They had massive outages and security breaches. Lack of IPv6 support is a sign of systemic issues in the organisation.
-
Val (@mightgetthere) reported@DevMohali @Ausbobsmit I have met some really nice Indians, and I have met some that want to rip us off every chance they get. I will never again deal with an Indian or a Pakistani in telecommunications. I’m not sure but I think Telstra and Optus are a bit gun-shy well.
-
Francis McF (@FrancisMcF1O) reportedTelstra MVNOs ████████████ (higher cost) Optus MVNOs ██████░░░░░░ (mid-range) Vodafone MVNOs ████░░░░░░░░ (cheapest) Conclusion: We pay more because only one network actually works.
-
M_a_r_ke (@Ma_rk_e) reported@OneNewsAu optus announced the partnership with starlink on July 12 2023 and telstra announced it on July 3rd 2023, Telstra starlink messaging started June 3 2025 optus? well nothing. "covers blackspots telstra never will" that might make sense if telstra also didn't get starlink messaging
-
Allan Cullinger (@AllanMCI47) reported@australian Stan’s coverage is so **** and cost a bomb. Optus sport was way better.
-
Anthony Smith (@Anthonydsmith86) reportedAnyone else thinking North Melbourne could be a banana peel this week? Fremantle have been dominating and if it were at Optus I wouldn’t even be considering it but down in Bunbury in the wind, could it even things up?
-
Ian Clarke (@ianclarkeAU) reported@BusyTonn Somewhat true. Telecom never had a FTTP plan, but CBDs did have Telstra fibre in the 1990s (after Optus started).

𝕵.𝕭𝖆𝖐𝖊𝖗 (@PremiumPies) reportedHow bad is the turf at Optus Stadium? I've never seen so many players slipping over in a dry game.
