  • russelljnoble Russell James Noble (@russelljnoble) reported

    The Optus Sport app on Samsung TV has some weird memory leak that leads to quality degradation? Watching on a Chromecast w/ Google TV connected to the same TV and wifi network and it's remained consistent.

  • fionamlee fiona (@fionamlee) reported

    @Optus I have made 20+ attempts to speak with a customer care officer. It's clear no-one cares. Customer service is horrendous, I do not know how you keep your customers. Live chat 24/7 no response for hrs thrn Automatic responses with no outcome

  • payne22550 MaxPayne22550 (@payne22550) reported

    @selina2twt @Optus Such is the DUBIOUS nature of service that @Optus encourages customers to use MyOptus app but has unfortunately none to support on chat

  • Todayin2020 TrudyH (@Todayin2020) reported

    After struggling on 1 bar of @Telstra signal at home for the last 2 years and a 6 week battle with @Telstra to port my number @Optus it finally went through today. I've got 4 bars of signal & it's half the price. Should have dumped #telstra years ago, they won't be missed!

  • TammyWolffs Tammy (@TammyWolffs) reported

    @spectreofme1 @Optus They're trying to tell me that it's normal to use 4 gigs of data an hour. It isn't, and it's not a one-off either. I don't want free data - I just want the issue resolved.

    Optus **** rn #Optus

  • fionamlee fiona (@fionamlee) reported

    @Optus phone helpline, get told whole server is down request call back which never happens. This is the worst customer care ever

  • spectreofme1 spectreofme (@spectreofme1) reported

    @TammyWolffs @Optus I think they know/understand that they have a loyal customer base, but that comes with appreciation both ways. Hope your issues dont happen again and you get complimentary data too!
