    Robert Watkins (@twasink) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @haruki_zaemon @Optus I’ll try again when I upgrade my phone (which arrives in a couple of weeks). That will include shifting to a new 5G plan, which will hopefully fix the weirdness.

    dearest @optus , I phoned you, and asked to be put through to the customer retention team. So far, I have been transferred 4 times, and am now on hold.. after being told that the wait time will be 15 minutes. #optus

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

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

    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.

  • nothingkanye
    Nathan John Kearney (@nothingkanye) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    How 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.

    Currently having a blackout and my 4G is garbage at best. Optus letting me down like most people in my life lol

  • Flansq

    Does anyone else find Optus 5G regularly shows as connected with full service, but no data will transfer? Websites won’t open, apps won’t connect etc?

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

    @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

  • CognitiveVerb
    💧cognitive verb (@CognitiveVerb) reported from Brisbane, 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.

  • Flansq
    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.

  • LesStonehouse

    @Optus My wife should contact you tonight she's working.. **** she was a mess never I want to see her like this again

  • fanaticeel
    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

  • NTEUQldDivSec
    Michael McNally (@NTEUQldDivSec) reported from Brisbane, 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.

  • barryrutherford
    Barry Rutherford | Parkrun fan (@barryrutherford) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @AnitaHeiss @Optus I’ve had two emails confirming my data had been breached even though I haven’t been a customer since 2005

  • EthicalAdviser
    Steve Putt (@EthicalAdviser) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    After telling the optus chat line that my house had burned down and that I had tried repeatedly to get the nbn cancelled (which I am still paying for), she asked me, and I kid you not, if I had tried turning it off and turning it back on again. I…I don’t know how to answer.

  • TheOlderGamer52
    Robbie Shenton (@TheOlderGamer52) reported from Brisbane, 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.

  • Flansq
    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)

  • barryrutherford
    Barry Rutherford | Parkrun fan (@barryrutherford) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @JanB_QLD @joshgnosis Moreover i have not been a customer for 15 years yet I received a letter from Optus saying it was likely my personal information had been stolen.

    @TheLizVariant In Australia my isp optus said that due to my phone being old I would have to upgrade my phone as it would be disconnected when the new system is in place and that the phone would not be able to communicate with emergency services. So basically we are screwed !

  • AnssiTal
    Anssi Tal (@AnssiTal) reported

    @optus you don't allow me to cancel my mobile number and are forcing me to keep paying. I want to cancel, how can I do that? I left Australia last year. Your customer service agents say that to cancel I need to return to Australia and physically present at an Optus store.

  • 5BNylonTip
    Drooling Drummer (@5BNylonTip) reported

    It would now take full two days to send a message to Voyager 1 and receive a reply. Still better than Optus’ mobile network.

  • DavidHorrocks1
    David Horrocks (@DavidHorrocks1) reported

    @optus_help My mobile broadband internet in Eagleby is struggling at 0.21 mb per sec. I can’t even check network on Optus app. Poor internet is regular in my area. Is there any possibility that one day Wireless might be available?

    @freodockers loss fixed how many miss in optus this is ridiculous coach how did u select ur forwards today all are like my ****

  • 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?

    wtf is wrong with the deck at optus #AFLFreoHawks

  • SydneyCityTV
    SydneyCityTV (@SydneyCityTV) reported

    @gerardmmkl Are News Corp possibly nervous that Foxtel may lose the NRL rights? Because I'm quite sure that people will follow the NRL to Stan or whichever other streaming service the coverage may end up at instead, just as there was a kind of exodus from Optus to Foxtel about 25 years ago.

  • WHUdownunder
    West Ham Fans Australia (@WHUdownunder) reported

    @villaminium They were absolutely fleecing us towards the end of that spill though… Had a mate who worked at Optus and he said there was hundreds of British customers who were only with them for the football package. Seemed an insanely stupid deal to let go of imo

    @Shaebee22 My weather app says Optus will be pretty cold, 14° down to 11°, big diff from Darwin. Hope our heroes bring the 🔥 Bloody Wharfie Time shits me to tears 😭
