  • Kira67469865 Kira (@Kira67469865) reported from Ferodale, State of New South Wales

    @Optus streaming issue, constantly please check internet... friggin fix ypur issues ....

  • ajhill_alan Alan Hill (@ajhill_alan) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @perthovalman @kevinperry @TheWorldGame @SBS @ALeague @premierleague @Craig_Foster @LucyZelic A cash-strapped FTA network does its best but has no hope of competing with Foxtel (itself scaling back football coverage in the face of its own financial woes) and Optus. I'd blame the government before pointing a finger at SBS.

  • gjblue Greg Blue (@gjblue) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @Hillysfarms @Telstra I reckon telstra coverage in metro areas is third after optus and Vodafone, its terrible here in Newcastle

  • SophiePearse Sophie Pearse (@SophiePearse) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    I’ve phoned @Optus customer service 3 days in a row and you’ve YET to rectify this issue, despite advising you have. This is incredibly poor form, deplorable in fact 😡

  • michaelread1 Michael (@michaelread1) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @optus can’t call me and I can’t call them because I don’t have either a business or a personal line. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise. Do we have any options that don’t leak peoples private data to randoms in Australia? How absolutely incompetent and stupid.

  • ReetuMutti Reetu Mutti (@ReetuMutti) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    .@TPG_Telecom Trying to port my TPG no from TPG’s Optus to Vodaphone network. Spent countless hrs calling helpdesk every day, talked to supervisiors, waited days for engineers to investigate. Been waiting 20 DAYS, still not working. This is ridiculous. Fix this!!

  • michaelread1 Michael (@michaelread1) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    Optus then decided after over 90 mins of explaining myself multiple times to different people on chat, I’d need to wait for a call. That call happened, it was from the wrong department. So they had to transfer me. After 2 hours I got some help. “So what can we do today?” 🤯

  • KitaandMat Mat and Kita Clarke (@KitaandMat) reported from Maitland, State of New South Wales

    @OeterB @Fozbyte That's what I did! I'm an optus customer so it's included in my plan.

  • tmacca_1996 Thomas McKenna (@tmacca_1996) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @Optus @7mate take your ads off appearing as every second one! I will never use your service due to this. Biggest pet peeve, waste of money on your marketing side #idiots #advertising

  • MansfieldOwen Owen Mansfield (@MansfieldOwen) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Worst service I’ve ever recommend. Have been trying to connect NBN. No one in your call centres seem to know what to do.

  • nickintheworld Nick Williams (@nickintheworld) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @a_choros **** Telstra, marry Vodafone, kill Optus... Truth be told I’d prefer to kill Telstra while screaming **** you and have an ongoing FWB with Vodafone and just leave Optus alone

  • michaelread1 Michael (@michaelread1) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    My name isn’t Andrew. But thanks to @optus I have access to his full name, home address, email address, passwords, contact number, credit card details and other random bits of information. My situation isn’t solved, and now if I was a bad guy, Andrew’s would have been ruined.

  • Kira67469865 Kira (@Kira67469865) reported from Ferodale, State of New South Wales

    @Optus wtf is going on with your services . Fetch, hayu, you name it. Keeps saying no internet but we do!!! Going on for days.

  • carlagrossetti @carlagrossetti (@carlagrossetti) reported from Maitland, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Thanks Nard. What causes an outage that only affects webmail?

  • ShaneNatalie Shane N. Thompson (@ShaneNatalie) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @Optus hello, I received spam email this week claiming to be Optus & confirming that I had increased my laptop data usage with Optus. I never increased my data usage. Can you now confirm with me that my laptop/mobile plan hasn’t been changed? Thanks.

  • mediahunter Craig Wilson (@mediahunter) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @CouchNish I can't even watch it. Optus issues. 😡

  • carolduncan Carol Duncan (@carolduncan) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @joshgnosis I’e tweeted Optus for help/advice, tried online chat twice … nothing.

  • ozziewiltshire Oz. Pro Choice! (@ozziewiltshire) reported from Raymond Terrace, State of New South Wales

    @madameshawshank @PringPhillip Love is blind... and stupid evidently. Career straight down the **** chute, although I high paying gig at optus is 2nd best I suppose.

  • siobhan_curran Siobhan Curran (@siobhan_curran) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    As an @optus customer I haven’t received any correspondence regarding the data breach and have no idea if my data has been compromised.

  • rainey_knight Lauraine knight (@rainey_knight) reported

    @NomessTess @RonniSalt @Telstra Yep thats why I ditched them too , they were rude and unhelpful, I switched to optus for phone and iiNet for internet , never had an issue with either.

  • JayDzed Sparkling Assault Wasps is my next band name (@JayDzed) reported

    @DaveMilbo HFC is an utter shitshow and should never have been even considered for being included in the NBN. It was purely an excuse to give shiploads of government funds to Telstra and Optus* for their shitty cable TV networks. 1/x

  • r_quazzy ramona quazzola (@r_quazzy) reported

    @RonniSalt @WindsorBeaver @Telstra Optus is just as bad.

  • MinisterMisreb Malphred (@MinisterMisreb) reported

    @Optus my phones data is literally the worst thing I’ve ever experienced. Any way to fix this???

  • blue_sti Ivor Carr (@blue_sti) reported

    @RonniSalt @Telstra Because of poor customer service, I was also forced to contact ombudsman for Telstra and Optus. I will never, ever use them again. Would rather use a pigeon for my corresponding.

  • witlessboy end's wit (@witlessboy) reported

    @Optus Yep, it's an outage. Tower hit by lighting last night by any chance?

  • TechnicianNano Nano TechnicianHQ📞 (@TechnicianNano) reported

    @FlaminScott77 @Aussie_BB @NBN_Australia Never looked back after going with Optus 5G. Costs less and its faster.

  • GreenScreen3r GreenScreen3r (@GreenScreen3r) reported

    @Optus Yeah thanks Jack but those maps don't represent anything approaching reality out here ... hot-spotted my partner's Telstra phone and fine for the rest of the trip ... thanks for trying but the Optus network is useless outside of metropolitan areas ... ditching it this month

  • flanker62 brian bosanko (@flanker62) reported

    @SpotlightForYou @Telstra Try Amaysim on the Optus network. $45 monthly for 80gig prepaid.

  • Roblmcrob MsMc (@Roblmcrob) reported

    @MiaCamp40513113 @RonniSalt @Telstra Optus had the same impact on me after NBN connection. Lied, failed at "service" and lost our custom after 25+years.
