  @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.

  @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).

  💥BREAKING NEWS: Let's talk about Optus and the 'outage'!💥 There has been a lot of speculation and questioning over the suspicious Optus outage. This explosive video exposes what is really going on and shows with evidence its links to the corruption in the Australian Government

  @analyticflying @Optus I switched from @optus mobile to Woolworths who use the Telstra network. Considerably cheaper but much more reliable.

  I wanted to apply but I'm sorry the UX is ridiculously bad. @Optus just give an email i can reach and send all the info and my cv bc I'aint gonna talk to this damn bot and wait 5 seconds each time i put an info. It took me 1 min just to fill my basic account info.

  @optus_help So much palaver to have to re-enter WiFi password etc Everything is set to WiFi but still no joy with connection for small or calls. Poor service considering optus is always doing upgrades/maintenance constantly. Get sick of no service

  @Optus I’m not having issues activating my eSIM. I already have a eSIM with you. I want to buy a secondary number sim and cannot enter my OTP once it is sent via email. It also seems like there is a issue on your end with getting OTPs via email as it has taken over 10 minutes to arrive

  @Optus Swear down you’re the only company that goes before the public holiday and not after. No wonder people are queuing up to leave
