    @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 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

    @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).

  • GregStonham GregStonham (@GregStonham) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @cathywilcox1 @Optus I hope they're a having a good hard look at themselves after loosing my phone 18 days ago, and refusing me a loan phone, refusing to suspend my network access charges and refusing to replace the original handset, which was still under warranty

  • raybisschop Ray Bisschop (@raybisschop) reported from Gold Coast, State of Queensland

    @Optus your service is shit, techs don’t listen. Not very happy having to reboot my internet every two minutes.

  • AlexJSmithy Alex Smith (@AlexJSmithy) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Telstra It has a yargi rooftop antenna. Installer says the issue is alignment of distant cells and jumping from one to other and dropping out. Have 4 bars on Optus.

  • BigV2011WCE Victor Yong (@BigV2011WCE) reported from Westfield, State of Western Australia

    @AndyB_Aussiered Spark NZ are suffering the same problems we experienced during the Football World Cup with Optus Sport last year

  • fictillius Evan (@fictillius) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @cenaniangzebi @Optus @Mondyboy The full signal but no connectivity is an iOS 13 bug. The only fix I’ve found is to reboot the phone.

  • mycrouch Jason Crouch (@mycrouch) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus Bit hit and miss. If I turn airplane mode on and off it reconnects just fine. I’ve also reset my phones network settings. It’s happened a couple of times today. I’ll monitor it.

  • yayafarisha7 Nik Nadiya Farisha (@yayafarisha7) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    It's official. Optus is shit

  • AlexJSmithy Alex Smith (@AlexJSmithy) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Telstra Matthew, thanks for the offer but @Telstra mobile coverage is so poor at my house that extra data is not much use. In fact I have to rely on wificalling to use the mobile. Fortunately our other mobiles are on @Optus which has great coverage.

  • SarahHurc Sarah Hurcombe (@SarahHurc) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Terrible mistake from @Optus - they made us @TwoTalesCafe switch to NBN last week and changed our number without telling us and we’ve only just found out - really crappy stuff for a long weekend when people will call us to find out if we’re open!!!! Sort it out @Optus

  • c_verdicchio Christian Verdicchio (@c_verdicchio) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    @Optus @VodafoneAU Hi @Optus I have DM you guys just waiting to hear back! Turns out you also have not updated the new deal for my wife either. Really really poor. If this doesn’t get sorted today will be returning phone and going back to @VodafoneAU or @Telstra
