  • iB3nji Ben (@iB3nji) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @blake_andersson @Telstra @Optus Go Boost Mobile! I’m with them. Same Telstra network, unlimited Apple Music, more data for less. Pre-paid.

  • iB3nji Ben (@iB3nji) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @mrdanielfeo @Optus @Telstra Agree, 1.5Mbps is terrible.

  • Thought_Patrol Thought Patrol (@Thought_Patrol) reported from Kiama, State of New South Wales

    Normal service resumed thanks @Optus

  • petenowakowski Pete Nowakowski (@petenowakowski) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @kirstinferguson @Optus My parents and I on Optus network. Mum got the txt, dad and I didn't.

  • cambuslangtrain John Roach (@cambuslangtrain) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @LesStonehouse Faithful to Telstra for 40 years despite our blind loyalty not being reciprocated in quality of service or pricing. Switched to Optus at NBN connection time some years back. Could not be happier with Optus!! Stuff Telstra "and all who ro(r)t in her!!"

  • iB3nji Ben (@iB3nji) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra_news “Telstra operate the nation’s only 5G network”. I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure @Optus has 5G too.

  • roseannebyrne 💧🌱pragmaticleftie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪💔 (@roseannebyrne) reported from Kiama, State of New South Wales

    @LesStonehouse @Telstra @Optus Oh He's. It does seem older folk were totally neglected in all of this. No NBN no phone. Cutoffs before they were ready. Expectations they'd understand it all. Neighbour is nearly 90 and it's been awful trying to keep him connected. All on his own.

  • petenowakowski Pete Nowakowski (@petenowakowski) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @DanielNigro76 Yep. Parents house connected to Optus network.

    @NBN_Australia @Optus nbn is down #Bexley #2207 and #kogarah, been happening for a few days now, WTF is happening, my mobile reception is crap in my area already so I can't rely on it

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @Arcainegel Hi Caine, I'm sorry you're still experiencing issues. Please re-install your My Optus app. If the problem persists, send us a DM and we can investigate this further for you. - Liam

  • IyBrat Brat (@IyBrat) reported

    @Optus Optus sucks

  • spectreofme1 spectreofme (@spectreofme1) reported

    @TammyWolffs @Optus Ooohhhh thanks for the suggestion. It's good that you have an external source to screenshot that for Optus. A friend at work uses the Optus App but shes convinced that data is manipulated as shes had the same problem as us but the app makes it appear less

  • junglistdon Junglistdon (@junglistdon) reported

    @Optus Your network is a joke. You spent $50 million on naming rights to the Perth Stadium and 11km away in Guildford there is no phone signal, never mind 3G coverage. Invest in your infrastructure before your image. #callfailed

  • TammyWolffs Tammy (@TammyWolffs) reported

    @Optus Thanks Zac. They couldn't find the issue, but offered to give me extra data each month to cover the surge. I appreciate the effort and the trouble to find a resolution.

  • stromedyfan7788 STROMEDYFAN7788 (@stromedyfan7788) reported

    @Optus I am not buying anymore of ur products because ur useless. I bought recharge today and dialed 555 but it says not connected to network

  • Keiths_World68 Keith (@Keiths_World68) reported

    @Optus Such a bad experience with my 1st account with Optus. It's almost been a month and I still do not have my money back after they killed my phone and attempted to blame it on their network outages. GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK!

  • JoeGale18 Joe Gale (@JoeGale18) reported

    @Optus 5)& it's"always DISAPPOINTING" to hear, by Optarse Staff how lousy their service really is & what little they do to change it...

  • dpho17 dame (@dpho17) reported

    @friendlyjordies @kbrspace Optus is pathetic - 2 years of problems with them. Don’t even know where to start. After 30 years being with them, last 2 - the worst
