  • Granville4879 💉💉💉 Granville in FNQ 😷 (@Granville4879) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    @toninicho I am now, seriously, thinking of changing my carrier after years of being with Optus Problem is Telstra cost me a first full money last time I was with them and I dropped Vodaphone over their poor customer service.

  • Granville4879 Granville #AussieResister (@Granville4879) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    @JohnCoo51013646 @call_me_tomasso @Leinster_Lad @lesleygood1 @Optus Ah yes, I well remember Telecom and the Post Office, both focused on the customer and delivering quality service.

  • Granville4879 Granville#AussieResister (@Granville4879) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    @LesStonehouse @Optus There is, I think I remember correctly, a period of up to 48 hours where a new service replicates across a WAN (wide area network).

    @Optus having internet issues all morning while locked at home with Covid is torture. Please check 5G-4G data dropout in Kangaroo Point QLD 4169

  • dbllplusgood Leo (@dbllplusgood) reported

    @Telstra No outages, checked mobile too as I use a 4G LTE modem for my home internet. It's been like this since Christmas. Really hard to justify almost $100 month for this when my phone, which is on Optus network, never has these issues. Contract expires soon so I probably won't renew.

  • velushomaz Vel (@velushomaz) reported

    Have to mention that my neighbours with other providers - optus, launtel, telstra are experiencing the same issue so it wouldn't be them

  • ChateauQuang Laird of Chateau Quang (@ChateauQuang) reported

    @allisonBeDemure @GrogsGamut I'm with Moose Mobile, which is an MVNO selling Optus 4G LTE. Coverage with Optus thru Central West, Hay Plain, Broken Hill area good. Spouse on Belong (Telstra's MVNO reselling part of their network - same service as Aldi - meh). BH to Balranald, she had some service, me none.

  • DanniSafina danica♡ (@DanniSafina) reported

    I’ve been w Optus help desk since 5….

  • lizthegrey Liz Fong-Jones (方禮真) (@lizthegrey) reported

    so the way I figure, Optus owes me about 150 AUD from having charged my card for 180 AUD and only delivered 30 AUD of service...

  • sir_alex52 Alex D'Alessandro (@sir_alex52) reported

    @billygraveslfc @Optus Oh, and they never stopped charging me the $130 a month whilst it was all happening. When they finally agreed to send out a technician for FREE (because I refused to pay the extra $$$), he knocked on the door at 6am on Boxing Day! 🙄

  • fast_media Chris Langlands (@fast_media) reported

    @Optus The new card detail is sitting there, but apparently I need to be alerted to some problem. OK so here's a "CHAT" thingy. Let's click it and see what happ.... oh no, ******* ROBOT

  • TammyWolffs Tammy (@TammyWolffs) reported

    @simpsubhswf @Telstra Optus tried it with me when I upgraded my plan recently. Apparently, "it will help you to manage your budget". Told them in no uncertain terms that I was perfectly capable of managing my own budget. Took a lengthy exchange and the intervention of a supervisor before they gave in.

  • Kyle_Laidlaw Kyle Laidlaw (@Kyle_Laidlaw) reported

    Hey @Optus, I’ve been a customer again for a little over a month and your service sucks. My Optus app not working, having to re-visit the store I signed up at to solve account issues, incorrect information given by call centre staff and your new plan with “AutoPay” is terrible.
