*Cindy N* 🤔✨4️⃣🦠💉 (@cindyn) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaHey @Optus can you lot sort out your reception issues? Apparently you’ve been working on towers in my area since Dec 16, and I can’t make a bloody call. They can’t hear me, or I sound like a robot, or calls fail. I’ve restarted my phone, reset network settings and nada. One bar.

Andrew Watson (@tmwwthere) reported from Melbourne, Victoria10am yesterday @Optus told me over the phone that my info wasn’t caught up in the breach. By the end of the day I received an email saying my info has been breached. No way of trusting #optus - haven’t been a customer of theirs since 2018. @SlaterGordon bring on the class action
-

-
Matt (@supremeturnip) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Optus My expectations you would help were low. Mainly posted as a warning to potential new customers of Optus so they know to stay away. In the absence of your helping in the multiple avenues of inquiry I’ll be passing to the TIO (since this includes potential over billing for 2 years)

All reported but how bad will this get before you take action. What guarantees will you put in place to ensure my passport and licence details aren't sold off to the highest bidder?

Millin Bear+FSD helping you profit from AI (@MillinBear) reportedI am too lazy to proof read and edit the below from grok, we had a chat in the car and below is the direct output for a post from grok, 85% my intent but could use some polish… (it gave me 3x image prompts, images from grok attached are also not proofed.) - enjoy: Why Starlink Roam Falls Flat in Australia (And How to Fix It) Honest opinion: Starlink Roam is brilliant on paper—$80 a month for 100GB priority data, perfect for caravans, motorhomes, or pros working on the go in the outback. But in reality? It’s poop for mobile use. Australia’s endless trees, dense bushland, and tunnels (think Bruce Highway or any regional drive) block the line-of-sight to satellites constantly. You’re crawling along at zero bars half the time, burning data elsewhere or offline entirely. Great for static campsites, useless in motion. The glaring hardware oversight: No LTE/cellular failover. Starlink Mini (or next-gen) should’ve shipped with an eSIM slot for Australian carriers like Telstra or Optus. When sats fail, auto-switch to 4G/5G local network as a hotspot—seamless, like your phone. Caveat: ACMA spectrum rules (IMT bands for terrestrial mobile) might need carrier partnerships, but it’s doable—Telstra/Optus already partner with Starlink for direct-to-device sat-to-phone using those bands. NBN fixed-wireless modems do exactly this: SIM failover when fibre/cable drops, approved under existing regs. If it’s green for NBN, it should be for Starlink Roam. Pricing fix for AU market: Base $19 add-on for up to 10% cellular failover (10GB on the $80 plan), covering Starlink’s wholesale data costs. Double to $38 for 100% cellular option if you’re in eternal tree hell. Keeps it affordable, competitive with eSIM hotspots, and actually usable. Starlink, take notes—Gen3 Mini or beyond, make it hybrid. Aussie travellers deserve better. What do you reckon? Roll it out!

Benjamin Bavea (@BBavea) reportedOptus is traditionally the best service at the farm & being that Starlink is temperamental, at least I'll finally have good coverage there. Of all five networks that I can conveniently access, none of them work properly here.

Benji⁷ - 💜apobangpo (@BTbro_23) reportedI have now been on the phone to @Optus @optus_help for 2hrs and 51mins and am still waiting to speak to the 7th consultant just to replace a sim card that has not been delivered! This is my 3rd attempt to get my new service activated after previously spending 1.5hrs beforehand.

paul gallagher (@perthovalman) reported@MattBobBrad1 That was on the weekend tho. First game here we had 45,000 at Optus. That was on the weekend. There’s probably 16 maybe 17,000. That’s not to bad. Game should have been tomorrow or Sunday. Oh well. Most important thing is get a result

-
Benjamin Bavea (@BBavea) reported@KendallJenner Optus struggles to cover here too. It isn't as bad as Vodafone, but it doesn't seem to have any better signal than Telstra & they're like double the price. It's in the small hours of the morning when signal drops. One NBN fibre connection between 150 struggles.

Mad Hatter ♠️♥️♣️♦️ (@MattBrady1980) reportedDeadset @Optus your “customer service” from your loyalty team is disgraceful… Still haven’t had a reply after 25 minutes and counting. No wonder I’m looking elsewhere. #disgusted
