  • brandonlung_ brandon (@brandonlung_) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @lavosaurus Oh shit that’s decent! A while back I saw Optus doing a specia that was $40 for 80gb, so that’s what I’m realllly hoping for eventually. Also just realised my plan ends in October so your way might be able to happen sooner than later haha

  • paypontAU Paypont (@paypontAU) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @wardenofmyheart @Optus There’s no explanation as what caused the issue, what percentage of customers are still affected. Optus are not sharing the full story on this.

  • LesStonehouse Politic@l Spinner (@LesStonehouse) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Telstra @Optus.. Please help my darling wife I miss her 😢 #auspol #NBN

  • paypontAU Paypont (@paypontAU) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus Left an SMS with your call centre agent 8 hours ago. Still waiting, service is not active.

  • Dr_Xiang_Li Xiang Li 李翔 (@Dr_Xiang_Li) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @martinalexsmith @TWBredy Jealous,locked in for another 6 month with this optus ADSL service...

  • WhiplashUnited Mickey Dee (@WhiplashUnited) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Can’t even watch a five minute video because .@optus is useless. Worse still it’s NBN.I pay $85 month for a failing service. Rort.

  • samf_66 Sam (@samf_66) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @NBN_Australia @Optus NBN HFC 6 weeks of daily multiple dropouts. 4 NBN tech visits + 1 Optus & the issue is still not resolved. Optus modem replaced, NTD replaced, F-connectors replaced but tech not permitted check the connection on the street. Farcical!

  • neilmaddo10 Neil Maddison (@neilmaddo10) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Trying to get hooked up to @Optus nbn... Monday they said, now it won’t be. Ready for two weeks of arguing like last time. Customer service is not at all important to them.

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

    @Optus my 4G broadband at #stafford is so bad. Either that or the @Huawei modem. Not an isolated event. Really question the advertising around super fast 4g. Every night a snail pace speed. #nbn #broadband #nombps #slowinternet

  • Dr_Xiang_Li Xiang Li 李翔 (@Dr_Xiang_Li) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @TWBredy @martinalexsmith ...... OPTUS so slow

  • WhiplashUnited Mickey Dee (@WhiplashUnited) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus even when you send a new modem I have the same problems. This is just getting ridiculous now.

  • CrayonANZ Dave Holmes 🇦🇺🇬🇧 (@CrayonANZ) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @zyzzyvamedia @Optus Been with @Internode on NBN for two years, never down, always fast. I guess it is some ISP and some location.

  • MCooperAus Michael Cooper (@MCooperAus) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @NBN_Australia leasing @Telstra copper with @Optus as a retailer is a perfect example of how three providers is not better than one. A lot of 👉👈 finger pointing as to who has the issue all the while the customer (me) with awful internet....#sortitout

  • cat_spalding Cat Spalding (@cat_spalding) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus have the worst onboarding customer experience. Email says order on way, online system says still processing. Online rep tells me order is being delivered... today, while I'm at work & can't sign for it. Rep blamed @startrack for mistake when clearly a system issue.

  • hillyshoist Hilly73 (@hillyshoist) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    If your after some useless customer support look no further than #Apple and #optus another cracked screen and no assistance. Looks like #telstra and #Samsung will be the winners here

  • Better4Brisbane @Better4Brisbane (@Better4Brisbane) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus Thanks but your service has been awful. What you could do is not sell people in West End/Toowong postcodes your data products when you KNOW your infrastructure in the area is at capacity with speeds below 2MBps. I got speeds 10x faster in Bali. @Optus @telstra

  • samf_66 Sam (@samf_66) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @NBN_Australia The problem is the techs that are sent won’t check the connection on the street. They change something internally for no good reason and report back that the fault is fixed which it is not. I go back to @Optus and the same process happens again.

  • neilmaddo10 Neil Maddison (@neilmaddo10) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus @Optus service is going down... must be a World Cup soon.

  • brandonlung_ brandon (@brandonlung_) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @lavosaurus Ooh that’s sick! Someone told me to complain about my wifi being shit (Optus as well) and they’ll give me free stuff, so maybe I do both and get all the benefits haha

  • samf_66 Sam (@samf_66) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @NBN_Australia @Optus NBN HFC 6 weeks of daily multiple dropouts. 4 NBN tech visits + 1 Optus & the issue is still not resolved. Optus modem replaced, NTD replaced, F-connectors replaced but tech not permitted to check the connection on the street. Farcical!

  • GDixon1977 Maranoa Girl (@GDixon1977) reported

    @adamliaw The exceptionally wealthy investors in Optus are too poor to compensate the suckers sorry clients who got ripped off in the hack. The investors invest only to make money not lose it. They outsource any loss or thought of a loss to the taxpayer.

  • patmar33 Pat Mar (@patmar33) reported

    Just like to say I am not a member of Optus & have never used its services my phone & internet are with different providers.

  • imandings Andy (@imandings) reported

    @AuzzieKing I'm assuming the AFP downloaded the data leak that was made. I don't think the Optus email went to all clients, as colleague #1 didn't get an email, but colleague #2 did. Crap communication by Optus either way.

  • GDixon1977 Maranoa Girl (@GDixon1977) reported

    @MaggieMAB @adamliaw @JRWeaver55 Unless it is written down in a watertight document, I don't think Optus will repay any government handout. See Job Keeper.

  • MissCaseyCes Miss Ces needs coffee ☕ (@MissCaseyCes) reported

    Argh! Email this morning from @Optus letting me know I've been caught up in the hack. I'm a previous customer (pre 2013) and they've said my data in a number of combinations has been accessed. Bloody fantastic. 🤬

  • katieaust Katie (@katieaust) reported

    @Optus why is webmail so incredibly slow ATM? An email sent to me at 0830 still not received at 1530? When will this go-slow service over the past few days improve? #Optus

  • Efrog1 Sharon Crerar (@Efrog1) reported

    @janine_hendry I’m an #Optus customer but haven’t heard from them at all.

  • luxlazuli catty (@luxlazuli) reported

    oh my god i Got Got by the Optus **** up too and i haven't been a customer for like 5 years

  • TeddJimbs Jedd Timbs (@TeddJimbs) reported

    @Optus so listen here right… you leak all of my info to whoever you got hacked/scammed by and then also want me to pay more than i already was for Optus Sport because you got the German league cup… How about you give me my discount on Optus sport because I’m a customer?

  • Descarts11 Decart (@Descarts11) reported

    @RichardDroofus @ServiceNSW @Optus Good idea. I found that the three people dealing with licenses etc. at Service NSW had different views on what should be done. Not their fault but head office not providing clear guidance. No second email yet.
