    Watching 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!!”

    @Optus how come if I’m a prepay customer I can select a $20 international roaming data plan with 10gig over 14 days but if I’m on a plan I have to select a $10per day for 1 gig add on? Seems sorta cruddy for your plan based customers.

    @Optus Your stupid sales assistant says she’ll give feedback, & no I’m not fkn patient cos I can’t make outgoing calls cos you fkn idiots don’t live up to your promises.....simple as that💪🏿

    Come on @kayosports fix your streaming 👎 Don’t tell me that it’s my speed, I’ve got ultimate speed!!! No problems with other apps - like Optus Sports 🤔

    @LucasMapstone_ @Cas2o @maz_jovanovich Same happened to me just now in Brisbane. Optus network told my phone to jump forward but my girlfriend's identical phone, with identical settings, 3m away, stayed on Queensland time.

  • 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.

    Joshua Byrd (@phocks) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    tbh private health insurance shouldn't even exist (neither should private telecommunications - looking at you optus) and should be shut down immediately as they've proven they can't be trusted with our data, but that's another story /rant over

    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.

    @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.

    @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

    @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

    Bloody hell #Optus 6 ads in a row in a subscription service is beyond reasonable. All the ads were for your own products.

  • 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?

  • davidjfindlay
    David Findlay (@davidjfindlay) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    Good work @Optus I recommended you to my father, but after buying a SIM he’s spent hours failing to get it activated via your automated customer anti-service system which is apparently designed to thwart victims from getting to speak to a person. Never recommending you again.

    @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)_/¯

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

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

    @Optus, hey Floptus when are you finally going to finish work on the Cell Tower in Clontarf? At one stage it was supposed to be finished by mid Jan, but it is still dragging on! In the meantime I get 4th world service! Download speed 10.3, upload 1.16, and this is on 5G

    @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.

    I wanted to apply but I'm sorry the UX is ridiculously bad. @Optus just give an email i can reach and send all the info and my cv bc I'aint gonna talk to this damn bot and wait 5 seconds each time i put an info. It took me 1 min just to fill my basic account info.

  • BaronPhilbert
    Philip Wall (@BaronPhilbert) reported

    Recommendations for new NBN service, please? After 25 years, @Optus feels it's more important to reward new customers than existing ones. Anyone had experience with @Aussie_BB or @Kogan ?

  • HivesRoy
    Roy Hives (@HivesRoy) reported

    Madness! Google will not let me comment because Microsoft forced me to buy a new computer. I don't have my old phone because Optus forced me to buy a new phone. My comment? RICH BASTARD'S POWER DEPENDS ON EVERYONE ELSE BEING POOR, BERNARD. They keep us poor and powerless!

  • HansOrph
    🇺🇦Hans Orph🇺🇦 (@HansOrph) reported

    @Optus TLDR: after being run around for two days and 47mins, the frustrating lack of the lack willingness to own a problem and solve it through their the lack of either ability or care from staff in the call centres. Along with being told it would be an additional seven days..1/2

    Is the camera work at Optus always this horrendous? Missed half the game while the focus is off play. Horrible viewing.

  • moresunshine_1
    John Cas (@moresunshine_1) reported

    @OMGTheMess The problem is, if the Libs got in whilst that program was being rolled out: today's batteries would be replaced with traditional car batteries, older inverters would be used, they pull ye ol optus cable and repurpose it for electrical wiring. Solar replaced with wind etc...

  • met_oshi
    MetOshi (@met_oshi) reported

    @RealMetroLounge @WindsorDebs Optus and Vodafone had to rely on Telstra, since Telstra owned the network. It wasn't until the government set up a service and bought back the network that things started to change

  • Hazkypreos
    Harry Gregory (@Hazkypreos) reported

    @RFC_Centre One thing I found interesting watching the game at Optus. Time after time Sonsie was manning two players when the dockers were coming out of defence and usually stuck between both of them. There was never any backup from another team mate. Other than one error he had a good game.

  • ColonialYobbo
    ColonialYobbo (@ColonialYobbo) reported

    Internet services provider is not solely @OPTUS, and even your damn website APP for submitting incidents stalls. Less focus on sponsorships, more focus on infrastructure and upgrades might help you actually retain customers and offer a decent service.
