    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!!”

    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

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    @FearbySoftware Optus for over 20 years.. Never had a problem.. Fingers crossed

  • 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.

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

    @Optus Dear @Optus I havre tried and spent over 15 hours trying to sort this out, including your ‘help’ desk which does nothing, as you can see from the images all you people do is lie

  • AlexJSmithy Alex Smith (@AlexJSmithy) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Telstra It has a yargi rooftop antenna. Installer says the issue is alignment of distant cells and jumping from one to other and dropping out. Have 4 bars on Optus.

  • 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

  • DanielBox87 Daniel Box 🇬🇧🇦🇺 (@DanielBox87) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @falmouth_wolf Im watching on optus sport, they're just as biased towards city. Never get any credit do little old #wolves

  • AlexJSmithy Alex Smith (@AlexJSmithy) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Telstra Matthew, thanks for the offer but @Telstra mobile coverage is so poor at my house that extra data is not much use. In fact I have to rely on wificalling to use the mobile. Fortunately our other mobiles are on @Optus which has great coverage.

  • 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

  • MKWAnthony V2★Anтнøny (@MKWAnthony) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

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

  • 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.

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

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

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

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

  • 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.

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

    @cathywilcox1 @Optus I hope they're a having a good hard look at themselves after loosing my phone 18 days ago, and refusing me a loan phone, refusing to suspend my network access charges and refusing to replace the original handset, which was still under warranty

  • LemStar71 Lema Niumata Noel (@LemStar71) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    I’m so disappointed with your service tonight @Optus, chatted with 3 people who disconnected on me 3 times, I just called & the guy said he cldn’t access my details to call back in 2hrs. We haven’t been able to get connection. #nothappy

  • riannella Renato Iannella (@riannella) reported

    Stark difference between @TPG_Telecom and @Optus. I can move between plans online within minutes with TPG self-service. With Optus, on the “chat” for 90+ mins, 4 different (real) people, and 5 user validations to change my plan, and it still did not work. I dread trying again.

  • borgc 💧Carmen Borg 🇲🇹 (@borgc) reported

    @LesStonehouse @raywilton4 @Optus My Telstra I/net has been **** since the end of the initial 2yr contract, now after an increase of 15 dollars/month to 80 constant dropouts, unable to refresh only have decent use between 6 & 7 am. Rest of day total crap. Telstra pack of Mafia criminals.

  • bkjeremy Jez - The Nanny* 💉💉❤️💛🖤 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧☮️ (@bkjeremy) reported

    @LesStonehouse @Optus Major Optus problems the last 2 weeks in Melbourne with internet. Atrocious. I thought it was just me. Now I'm at mum's in Sydney and she's having problems. NOT HAPPY @Optus 🤬

  • mayak2 Maya K2 (@mayak2) reported

    Curious to know if this tweet will even go out... no power, no wifi, and is the @Optus network out, too!? 😩

  • ArtMarieCalais @Marie Calais 💉💉😷😷💃💃 (@ArtMarieCalais) reported

    @LesStonehouse @Optus Few yrs ago Optus was supposed to send new sim card out for my portable modem. Took 6 wks because had wrong address (existing customer 3 yrs) & people got it were away for Christmas. Went into Telstra & got modem within a week. Service not always good but better than Optus.

  • InnesFrances Frances Innes (@InnesFrances) reported

    @AlsPatch @LesStonehouse @Optus Many opt in to Telstra due to reach of service only to find they have way too much traffic on the platform and big biz and big media (read Murdoch) get priority of commons segments now most media is digital. Murdoch is chasing Optus Satellite tech contracts, should be stopped!

  • SmeeHereAgain Joe -GoEarly-GoHard_GoHousholds (@SmeeHereAgain) reported

    @LesStonehouse @Optus Why use optus or telstra The biggest players are the most expensive and the biggest under performers in the market. Plenty of excellent smaller players out there. When I was troubleshooting internet problems the calls were always for the main players

  • Hey_NicePhoto 🇵🇸 🕯️Paul A. Thomas 🇸🇾 ⏳ (@Hey_NicePhoto) reported

    @Optus NBN outage in Coffs Harbour! Shephards Lane.

  • ewster ‏Ewen Bell (@ewster) reported

    @LesStonehouse Been a long time since I had internet with Optus. They sub-contract everything. Installers used a cable box that went wobbly in the afternoon sun. Optus refused to even try and fix it. I changed to another provider and never had problems since.

  • labrooy61 Garth Hughes (@labrooy61) reported

    @hotnutbar @LesStonehouse @Optus Out where I live Optus has much better coverage than Telstra with the mobile signal. I used to be with Optus but they absolutely stink with their customer service so my mobile is through amaysim (cheaper and better customer service).
