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

  • 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...

  • 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…

  • gb7004 greg bradley (@gb7004) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Dear @Optus you are a disgrace, cancel my ADSL as I am signed up to NBN well I would be but still waiting for a modem from you from 10th Oct, rang help desk and Annika CB690949 was going to ring me back in 10/15 minutes 40 minutes.

  • michelle_author Michelle Worthington (@michelle_author) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus DM sent. I’m not sure you can help. I was simply told I should have read my contract better.

  • DaveCox92490089 womble (@DaveCox92490089) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

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

  • JaseSmith78 Jase Smith (@JaseSmith78) reported from Brisbane, State of 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

  • 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.

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

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

  • debmberger Deb Berger (@debmberger) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus Thank you. It’s a pity your chat help couldn’t check this. Or at least advise me to look at it. I was asked to reset my phone, remove my SIM card, change various settings. Each of these solutions were suggested multiple times despite advising none of them corrected the issue.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • 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)_/¯

  • 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.

  • david_odonoghoe David O'Donoghoe (@david_odonoghoe) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    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

  • davidjfindlay David Findlay (@davidjfindlay) reported from Brisbane, State of 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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...

  • westozdonna 🐝🐣westozDonna 🎀 (@westozdonna) reported

    Dear @amaysimAU I have just had 2 messages stating my payments attempted has failed. I can't make payment until the @Optus network & @bankaust issue is resolved. This is not a failure of my willingness to pay but a wider issue. Please do not cut me off from my mobile service.

  • westozdonna 🐝🐣westozDonna 🎀 (@westozdonna) reported

    Anyone who has an @Optus account in the Perth metro area, especially Perth South metro is likely to be having issues for one or more weeks. They've forgotten to mention that they were taking out one or more major towers so you may not have access to banking etc. 1/

  • lindner_brad Brad Lindner (@lindner_brad) reported

    @Optus Hi there I able to log into my account from my phone app or laptop using the website. Is there an outage?

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @mxkatem Hey Kate, apologies for the trouble with that. We were having an issue with the website and My Optus App which may have been preventing that. Are you able to give that another go and let me know if that's working now? The app issues should all be sorted out. Rob

  • James_M_South JimBobSquarePants (@James_M_South) reported

    @Optus Whoever runs your WebDev department needs to go back to school. Basics are embarrassingly broken.

  • johnhallis John Hallis (@johnhallis) reported

    @abcnews Hello ABC possible news story Are Covid contact tracing using Telstra and Optus mobile phone network data to do contact tracing!!! Please investigate

  • westozdonna 🐝🐣westozDonna 🎀 (@westozdonna) reported

    @Optus @bankaust As I have already informed @amaysimAU, I'm not willing to drive to a semi-country area without mobile phone service in case of an emergency. I will have to reschedule the room viewing for a rental property to another time now. This may affect my future accomodation status.

  • James_M_South JimBobSquarePants (@James_M_South) reported

    @Optus I'm an expert at this stuff so believe me when I tell you you NEED to fix your site.

  • Oz_Abi Abi (@Oz_Abi) reported

    @Optus Thanks Ness. Unfortunately my iMessages weren’t working either. Before sending my tweet I had already turned the device off and back on, and reset my network settings. I am confused as to why, despite having 3 or more bars of reception, nothing worked? Issues in Canberra?

  • mcdonellaussie mark mcdonell 🐅🐅🏆 (@mcdonellaussie) reported

    @thebalmainboy @FootballAUS @TheMatildas Your die hards will gladly pay 4 another service but people like me who have Fox for afl & have religiously watched A-League over other sports not paying for another service. Netflix Disney Optus Fox or a mixture especially after so many dollars lost by small businesses & workers
