    @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).

  • 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.

    @cassterisk I offered my lewds to Optus if they would help me

  • BenSmee Ben Smee (@BenSmee) reported

    Ooh a response! @optus: “what is the specific problem?” Honestly

  • lawrencevanrijn Lawrence Van Rijn (@lawrencevanrijn) reported

    @SenPaterson Advertising Common Cyber Sense seems an obvious first issue to address. Optus being a prime example.

  • craigcromar Cromar PTG (@craigcromar) reported

    @Optus Do we get a discount on our bill for no service

  • walshy05 Travis Walsh (@walshy05) reported

    @Optus I’ve been shocked at how poor your service and communication has been in the past 6 months. Price increases, data leaks, no service now this.

  • fabronanami nadz | nanami enthusiast (@fabronanami) reported

    **** optus sports. why don’t they have ligue 1 and bundesliga when they have literally every other competitions on there T-T

  • gaz80t Gazza 🐉 (@gaz80t) reported

    @Optus your service on the mid north coast nsw, is disgusting at the moment. Modem needs resetting at least 8 times per day. Your towers & infrastructure are just not coping, yet your happy to take my monthly payment for rubbish service #optusrubbish

  • FluffyFrostbyte The Fluffy Frostbyte (@FluffyFrostbyte) reported

    @Telstra My advice is don’t be demanding payment by a certain day if you’re gonna take two whole days to recognise said payment. You can blame this on your customers all you want. You’re as bad as Optus, the only thing you haven’t done YET is put my ID up for sale on the dark web.

    Dealing with @Optus Internet goes down… @optus: “you need a connection to check what is wrong with your connection. Try calling.” Calls… @Optus: “no one is here. Try live chat”
