    @westaustralian No more big crowds at Optus, right Mark?I mean you wouldn’t want 60000 people “milling” around to get drinks, food, toilet, yelling with spit going in every direction if the risk is so high...sorry I forgot Optus is a COVID free venue, it’s only Anzac servics we need to cancel🙄

  • aerguney Alp Erguney (@aerguney) reported

    @Optus I got all my bills rebated as a result of my TIO complaint. Sent the modem back although I was told by the Sr case manager that it's fine to keep it. But I got a bill emailed to me which makes absolute no sense. Any ideas? Support is useless.

    @Optus Too bad I don't live in newy.

  • Nadsypoll Nadine Pollard (@Nadsypoll) reported

    @Telstra I want to know what is being done about the fact that it has been 6 days since I have purchased my mobile and my SIM card has still yet to be activated. I have had many conversations online and in store and no one is able to help me. Dissatisfied and disappointed. #optus

  • Poribo Paul Mahoney (@Poribo) reported

    @Lunick_Fiore Yeah... a lot of **** to sort out. Optus couldn't connect my nbn for 4 months because my house "wasn't in the system". Luckily everything else connected without a problem

    @Optus I was on hold for 16 minutes only to then have to hang up and start again because I couldn’t get back to the Optus loop line

    @AveryKaeHoward I've had pretty good experience with the cheap sim only type services. They just bill you for providing a service and leave you alone and very easy to switch over. They're mostly Optus/voda resellers so you'll get the same coverage.
