    @sydney_ev @anirbanmahanti Optus is not much better shit all round.

  • DannMallet Dann Mallet (@DannMallet) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Optus mobile and nbn slow tonight

  • CognitiveVerb 💧cognitive verb (@CognitiveVerb) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @annkozma723 @OlivierElzingre @steven_kolber I suspect it was an internet service provider problem. @Flipgrid grid is pretty hungry and @Optus was not playing fair.

  • DezerdaAdvocate Dezer da Advocate (@DezerdaAdvocate) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus is advising up to 90 minute wait for customer call centre with no explanation🤔 #CustomerService #COVIDー19🤔

  • JoelTHFC Joel (@JoelTHFC) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

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

  • NTEUQldDivSec Michael McNally (@NTEUQldDivSec) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus Hi Aaron. I would love to use the app but your system now has the wrong date of birth for me after 20 years as a customer. And when I finally got through on Thursday and did my ID check - no problem. Something wrong with your app.

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

    Nothing like being stuck on the @TransLinkSEQ flying junction into Bowen Hills, where the @Optus coverage sucks…

  • CognitiveVerb 💧cognitive verb (@CognitiveVerb) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Dear @Optus I can’t do my job with slow internet

  • TheOlderGamer52 Robbie Shenton (@TheOlderGamer52) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @VicBStard @NBN_Australia Makes sense. If @Optus had of kept the maintence of the cable up to standard before selling to the NBN then it wouldn't have been an issue.That being said I don't get why the NBN didn't just fix the issues.

  • BlackwellJ_ James Blackwell (@BlackwellJ_) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    My 2nd days-long internet outage in a week with @Optus — and they can’t/won’t send a technician out until Tuesday...

  • Tur71e Brett Turville (@Tur71e) reported from Brisbane, State of 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.

  • NTEUQldDivSec Michael McNally (@NTEUQldDivSec) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Absolute crap service from @Optus “more than an hour and so we won’t be dealing with your call today”. #optusfail Yasmin got through and they wouldn’t let her just report the fault even though she has an @Optus account at same address. Complete failure of their outsourcing model

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

    @lukeacl @halftimbered @tuppaware @BeauGiles @AppleMusic @Mardukian @twistieman FWIW I’m on Optus (don’t hate me) and I have zero issues like what’s been described ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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

    @ktdenise My only true issue atm is struggling to screen mirror but mainly due to having an outdated TV and or not having an Apple Box.. mainly issue for my Optus Sports but that not a drama atm lol

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

    @Optus hello, we got a new plan yesterday and the sim is not yet activated. Not in store, not later as told, not thanks to the online chat agent today, and I can't find the way to do it. Kinda need to be able to use the phone... please help.

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

    @imogynmargaret @ktdenise @Optus I’m Optus no problems my end... odd

  • lesposen lesposen (@lesposen) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus I’m on phone support currently. The question is about remotely rebooting my modem when away, it drops connection 2xweekly

  • BlackwellJ_ James Blackwell (@BlackwellJ_) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    My 2nd days internet outage in a week with @Optus — and they can’t/won’t send a technician out until Tuesday...

  • iamalexsi Alex SI 😷 (@iamalexsi) reported from Brisbane, State of 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...

  • GlenNixon Glen Nixon (@GlenNixon) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    From the evidence I have to conclude that @Optus don’t have anyone working in a call centre. They just play music at you until you give up. #service

  • linandtheblues LR (@linandtheblues) reported

    Who ******** okayed all these events at Optus in such a short amount of time. The ground looks absolutely woeful

  • RichardLVaughan Richard Vaughan (@RichardLVaughan) reported

    @Optus i have had my phone stolen - your phones are down, app is not working, and website is down until 9am tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! someone is hacking my account using my number with you

  • gigantiqandy Andy Trigg (@gigantiqandy) reported

    @Optus it has been over a year since I have had any account with you. I still receive reminders via email and sms about paying an account that is not even mine or in my name. I have spoken to your useless customer support many times and yet it still keeps happening. 🤡

  • AndiC1 Andi Csontos (@AndiC1) reported

    @optus_help @Optus I’d accept this but I can be standing still in the Main Street of Berry and not have service. And there are plenty of towers around Coniston.

  • waveofhumanity traveler ∞/21m (@waveofhumanity) reported

    @ausvstheagenda @grok In long form Given events like the optus hack which forced people to replace drivers lic and medicare cards....if this database was hacked what terrible things could follow. Think as wickedly as you like. The hackers will.

  • luis8777 MjstcArt (@luis8777) reported

    **** you #optus I'm getting rid of you

  • TallNupinks Tall Nupinks (@TallNupinks) reported

    Wait up… so he isn’t being charged for the actual post, but because he used Telstra/Optus/The NBN to post it? “Byrne used a carriage service ‘in a manner that a reasonable person would regard as menacing’”. Wonder whether he’d be in this position had he used a VPN as they wouldn’t have been able to view the content on the carriage service.

  • HelenMcken28625 Helen Mckenzie (@HelenMcken28625) reported

    @xskinn @saltyskin_ I ditched Telstra long ago but we are going NBN this coming Thursday sick of no service from Optus as well for over 12 months Optus has been working on our area now latest is Merrijig still not much reception

  • AndiC1 Andi Csontos (@AndiC1) reported

    @optus_help @Optus I would add the trains in Europe provide high speed wifi for customers if they wish and our transport systems need to catch up and do the same. Why isn’t there an Optus wifi service on trains I can pay to use? It’s a missed opportunity
