    @Telstra @Optus @VodafoneAU I am a primary school teacher with five students who currently do not have home internet. I am happy to pay for the Wifi 4G USB dongles and trying to find anyone who has them in stock. Any help would be greatly appreciated. #Teacher #RemoteLearning

  • kelvin_yli 友人圓 (@kelvin_yli) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    A serious problem with @Optus users is the assisting agents reply late but there’s no notification pushed to the phone. It used to have notifications but not any more. I was trying to talking to your financial team for three times and all missed because they replied 12 hr... (1)

  • stbabo_ stbabo (@stbabo_) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus Good start to my new customer journey with your internet technician not rocking up to install your service. A phone call would help. Hopefully they rock up tomorrow.

    @Optus you preach wanting to keep people connected during this time, but I can’t get onto anyone about my nbn set up not working....

  • Tony_3163 Tony (@Tony_3163) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @_kimannexo @Optus We tried Optus 5G home broadband, it stopped working and stayed that way for more than two weeks. Poor communication, response and service. We cancelled and moved to an alternative.

  • VickiWardMP Vicki Ward MP 🌈 (@VickiWardMP) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Dear @Optus An Eltham mum has been trying to get her service connected for 7 weeks, with no luck. Kids will be learning from home next Wednesday, but can’t atm. Two emails have been sent to you from my office, no response. Please sort this out. Kind regards Vicki

  • KharlaWilliams Kharla Williams (@KharlaWilliams) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus severe issues making calls from my mobile phone on your service today. Colleagues with Telstra didn’t have difficulties I had. I am paying higher than average monthly premium

  • stbabo_ stbabo (@stbabo_) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    For the first time in my life I have subscribed to a service provider and cancelled before the installation. Credit where credit’s due @Optus.

  • SeeingWithStars Stephanie Johnson (@SeeingWithStars) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Hope that @Telstra @Optus @Internode etc are ready for the onslaught of home workers Our NBN is extremely slow today

  • JohnnyLydon jk (@JohnnyLydon) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @PSyvret Medicare has now graciously consented to cancel its proposed oversized price increase for 2020. Optus Sports has also wisely suspended payment for my monthly subscription until 1 June.

    @10NewsFirstSyd @TallulahMT I have an issue with Optus. Cannot make any outgoing calls @Optus

  • kelvin_yli 友人圓 (@kelvin_yli) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus All sorted now but wanna lodge a complaint for that, I seriously doubt the Optus system is a mess and not maintained well based on this issue and other experiences.

  • msg621 Mark G (@msg621) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

  • woooz3r wooozer (@woooz3r) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

  • the_tanman Nicholas Tan (@the_tanman) reported

    @Optus Users on your NBN service can’t seem to resolve to certain websites. One I can’t access is hosted by Webflow and has Fastly as the CDN. Is there a known DNS issue impacting NBN subscribers? Confirmed with multiple other subscribers.

  • Keirashley Keira ❁ (@Keirashley) reported

    Spoken to 4 different agents over on the @Optus app and every single one is an incompetent idiot. Does anyone decent work for Optus that can help me? @optussubhub

  • Appaluza Appaluza (@Appaluza) reported

    My attempt to get @Optus to change my mobile plan to prepaid has just entered it’s 3rd hour on their live support chat.

  • rlaxton Richard Laxton (@rlaxton) reported

    @Optus Talked it through with support today, apparently Optus thinks that adding charged services without authorisation is the only way to go and that refunding for these services is somehow my problem. Very disappointed.
