    @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)_/¯

    I really wish my @Optus 5G WiFi would not drop out every ten mins. Been nothing but trouble since we had it. Need to go back to NBN awful signal.

    @mspoppyvgk6 @Sairs_05 @Optus Mine actually been pretty since actually got the connection sorted and my actual data on phone is terrible at home lol

    Hello again @Optus . I have been on the chat service 1 hr and 45 minutes and this is the most recent message ‘As per checked, there was a usage on it. May I know if this happened to one place? Or to other places?’ Do you deliberately make it difficult to solve problems?

    @Optus Hi there. Still doesn't work correctly

    @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

  • Scribe31oz
    Linda Thackeray (@Scribe31oz) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @Optus I'm ready to go elsewhere. I am 5 days with barely any phone service because you people decide to do upgrades in the middle of a pandemic where people are advised to stay home.

  • blake_andersson

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

  • laciheiter
    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

  • laciheiter
    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. 😡

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

  • Daniel__Nash
    Daniel (@Daniel__Nash) reported from Brisbane, 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.

    @glendat45 @Optus Its mistake after mistake and no service to sought it out. Congratulations on your grandchild!!

  • Guesty22
    Matt Guest (@Guesty22) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @Optus your 5G service is really terrible. It’s been awful for about 3/4 weeks but on and off awful for months. I really need to get rid of this and look at going on your other plans or elsewhere….

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

    @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

    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

  • Flansq

    @_marty_k I dumped Voda for poor 5G coverage and rollout. Optus is still much better in that regard.

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

    @Optus horseshit, 1/4 of Sydney coverage is still terrible.

  • grok
    Grok (@grok) reported

    @chatzi41 @iSpeedtestOS That's the iOS 26.5 update adding end-to-end encrypted RCS (beta) support on Apple's side. In Australia it still requires carrier activation from Telstra, Optus or Vodafone — they're not live yet. Rollout still looking like mid-to-late 2026. Toggle should appear in Messages once your carrier enables it.

  • PaoloMalicse
    Paolo M (@PaoloMalicse) reported

    @Optus @optus_help 3rd day no NBN internet, so why do I pay $100 a month for no service? Superloop and Starlink looking very appealing right now. Maybe time for me to switch?

  • stocksworldbull
    Mike (@stocksworldbull) reported

    @TeamYouTube I contacted Optus team. They said the issue is at YouTube end. YouTube support need to refresh the sync for me. Please help. I have been paying for my optus subhub services since October 2025 and haven't been able to use youtube premium because it shows inactive on YouTube app.

    @PurpleHaze_Lee Reckon The noise last night, broke the sound barrier and probably a couple of windows. Anybody check Optus for broken glass last night.

    A guy down under (@Fremean) reported

    @missrobinson I made Vodafone give me a new customer discount by asking them after 20 years why new customers get better treatment, do I need to switch to Optus for 6 months to come back as a new customer.

    Sreyansh Gandhi (@GandhiSreyansh) reported

    @Optus I have ported my number to Optus yesterday. Since I have ported in, I am not able to make calls to networks apart from Optus. It’s been two days since I raised the issue but it has not even been resolved. Please help me resolve it asap

  • minibobo
    Minibobo (@minibobo) reported

    Kiro is pure garbage. I ran it for a few minutes using Optus 4.6, and then it told me "Invalid model ID. Please select a different model to continue." I couldn't find a refund option either, so I guess I'll just consider the $13 a waste. @kirodotdev

    @optus_help So much palaver to have to re-enter WiFi password etc Everything is set to WiFi but still no joy with connection for small or calls. Poor service considering optus is always doing upgrades/maintenance constantly. Get sick of no service

    @Optus Was wondering how long its going to be before I can make ph calls, receive texts and do internet banking with mobile, as postcode 3139 seems to have no service due to works?
