    @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

    @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).

    @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.

    @AttilaBalassa It's quite a responsibility to get it right. Optus has the EPL over here but they do a pretty decent job. Still sucks when you're paying for Foxtel though and can't get some of the best sport.

  • parslow77 Lliam Parslow (@parslow77) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    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!!”

  • LeithGourlay Leith Gourlay (@LeithGourlay) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    @danhaesler @Optus Hi @danhaesler, this is not a 1st world problem, is a contractual issue where services paid for haven’t been provide. #goodfaith #fair #reasonable #expected

  • eastuto Eugene of Astuto 🤔 (@eastuto) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    So how's this for next level bad customer service. @Optus sends a warning notice that services will be restricted of we don't pay $270. Never seen the account number. Wife was on phone every day last week. They couldn't say what it related to. Couldnt provide copy of a bill.

  • delan82 Delan Adikari (@delan82) reported from Darwin, Northern Territory

    Ive switched from Telstra to Optus...hopefully no issues

  • AdrianoDiPrato Adriano Di Prato (@AdrianoDiPrato) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    + Hello @Optus, I’ve now returned to Oz and the iPhone still hasn’t arrived. Additionally I was promised that within 5 days someone would contact me regarding my complaint. This hasn’t happened either. Clearly the incompetence previously stated just continues. #OptOUT

  • nathan_warner Nathan Warner 🇨🇦🇦🇺🚑🚒 (@nathan_warner) reported from Darwin, Northern Territory

    Back on hold and it advises me it will be about 30 min for my call to be answered. Multiple staff in the #Darwin store I’m at not serving customers at the moment. Can’t cancel my contract that expired in 2018. #Optus @Optus

  • bloodhoundau Anthony Ashton (@bloodhoundau) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    @LawrieColliver Oh gosh. This is similar to optus. Who had issues with broadcasting the rugby world cup.

  • 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

  • damethelog A’tuin Sneezed (@damethelog) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria
