  • 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).

    @Telstra your phone support taking literally hours to do simple tasks must cost you a fortune. Upgrade an internet plan 2.5hrs… really? Get an nbn technician to repair a broken like 45min, no result. @Optus I can change my plan and be off the phone in 6min.

  • thelifeofhye HYE PRIDE (@thelifeofhye) reported

    Hey @Optus what's going on with the service in Collaroy ??

  • sohiafc9 Sohi (@sohiafc9) reported

    @Optus why is there a mobile data outage near Chermside area without any maintenance notifications? This is constant every few days. You guys are literally getting worse #optus #optusoutage

  • SargeantDee Sargeant D (@SargeantDee) reported

    @amaysimAU is there a problem? A problem with optus? @Optus no service

  • SuDharmapala Su Dharmapala (@SuDharmapala) reported

    @Optus You are 🤬 of the worst sort. You billed me for services you never provided and then took my account into arrears and have put a fraudulent notice against my account so I can't be approved for a car loan. You NEVER provided the services.

  • jghaines Jason Haines (@jghaines) reported

    @Optus I tried that and was connected to an idiot support person who said it wasn’t a bug with the Optus app and that I should raise it with Apple.

  • chaunicey Pawpatart (@chaunicey) reported

    @Optus Can't wait to give you ***** a ******* 0 for your customer service, you're a ******* joke.

  • trandel Trent Randel (@trandel) reported

    @BrowntownBrew @AlboMP That isn't supported for Turnbull who tried to fix the mess with band-aides. The purchase of the old optus cable was one of the most ridiculous solutions I'd ever heard.

  • kurisubrooks Kurisu (@kurisubrooks) reported

    @Optus Yeah, 7th outage in the past 2 days… convenient of you to switch the site to “maintenance” yesterday at 10am after my dozen reports through the website so you have a fallback reason lol

  • MintaReturns 😌Minta (@MintaReturns) reported
