    @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).

    @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.

    How is it in 2021 in a Western Sydney shopping centre/mall that I lose all service from both the major 2 telcos? (Telstra & Optus) Also how & why does the centre not have free wi-fi without a Facebook login? 🤬 Never again! Only there so Mr 12 (yesterday) can get his vaccine.

  • OllieYeMate R7 Ollie (@OllieYeMate) reported

    @mania_fn @optus I having trouble with my internet

  • sdoc23 Simon (@sdoc23) reported

    I like McGowan, a Premier willing to put public health first. No one should sit in the Perth sun for 7 hours at Optus stadium, just terrible sun safety.

  • PeterPrincipas Peter Principas (@PeterPrincipas) reported

    @Optus my phone is being invaded every 10 minutes or so and I have engaged the protections under iOS 15 as well as open VPN. I ask that you intervene on my line at my request and see who is breaking into my service as I think it is the Australian government

  • retardscord retards cord (@retardscord) reported

    .@Optus why is my **** so bad, fix it

  • Paul40431539 Depressed one (@Paul40431539) reported

  • suhashimmareddy Suhash reddy (@suhashimmareddy) reported

    @Paul40431539 @Optus I'm sure if you can chat with the correct department it can be resolved with in minutes. Please try contacting the support again.

    @kbrspace This is BS!! I've been 7 days without any @Optus NBN!! Contacted at least 15 people, and you still can't provide me with an answer or a solution!! Technician that was scheduled today DID NOT COME! Nobody can give me an answer.

  • bjornmakein Bjorn Makein (@bjornmakein) reported

    @Optus I have had my call accidentally hung up on 4 occasions when trying to resolve a technical issue with a new Optus product. Not the service I would hope for and certainly not what I had planned for my afternoon.

  • LocalNews4051 DennisMWilliams (@LocalNews4051) reported

    Not happy @Optus outage and no warning … and this is to go on for weeks !!! You are kidding!
