    @Optus here we go again. Your app bots are crap.

  • winnydotcom Winny (@winnydotcom) reported

    @Optus 5G might have fast speeds but jeepers they are super slow rolling it out. #snail #slowasawetweek

  • Karina_Melbs PolarK (@Karina_Melbs) reported

    @prafxis @maximumwelfare @choiceaustralia /2 Since being hacked via optus in Sept I've thought constantly about exactly how much I uploaded to the 3rd party rental things & that I never got confirmation everything was deleted afterwards or do they retain it.

  • PostingGeneral real halo lore facts (@PostingGeneral) reported

    anyway ordering optus 5g home internet because the builder for the new house we're renting neglected to lodge an application with nbnco and it'll take months to fix 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

  • PoE_fanatic James Smart (he/him) (@PoE_fanatic) reported

    @Optus It seems to have rectified itself but I do have this problem from time to time. I've done a traceroute in Windows and the issue seems to be a particular router on the NBN.

  • owenbrandt Owen Brandt (@owenbrandt) reported

    @Optus your customer service has gone downhill over the last month. For a customer of over 11 years, I’ve been treated appalling. Monies owed, been promised call backs and doesn’t eventuate. Just a terrible experience

  • _stevebarrett Steve Barrett (@_stevebarrett) reported

    @Optus Fetch TV, I’ve seen stream quality issues before, it was frustrating when I tweeted when all highlight streams I tried were struggling

  • relllipp Rell (@relllipp) reported

    If you looking to buy a LTE pixel watch be aware they don't work on the @optus network

  • teigra_1 Tahlia Rose (@teigra_1) reported

    @markhumphries I connected with a TPG wireless. No connection fee & no cost for router. I don’t have FTN or FTH NBN here. When you move you can let them know & take it with you or send it back. Telstra & Optus not an option, don’t work here. As a city metro resident you won’t have a problem

  • eduienna Michael Ienna (@eduienna) reported

    @Optus - 25min to simply change one month to month contract to another, which included having to facial recognition myself to send even more data to you when I am already a member. This should be a one click process inside a users login portal.

  • QuentinDempster Quentin Dempster (@QuentinDempster) reported

    @tomdflynn It’s a scam. Your ID (email) has been sold on the dark web. Maybe you’re an Optus/Medibank customer. Still waiting for @AusFedPolice & Interpol to arrest the thieves.

  • GregHerbert Greg Herbert (@GregHerbert) reported

    @Optus another outage in 5251, this time planned (but we were not notified) and lasting until 27/1? How long are we expected to deal with ongoing issues? This is the 4th since early November. Very disappointing.

  • Jan41475593 A Bran nu Dae (@Jan41475593) reported

    Just tried to discuss issue with Optus to no avail.Want them to send relatives mobile monthly a/c to his administrator for payment.Too hard for them,want to direct debit but it has to come out of trust a/c Optus not good to deal with.I give up.Will get him to use another carrier.

  • marg99216421 marg (@marg99216421) reported

    @markhumphries Just checking - is there already one of the NBN 'black boxes' at the property? This needs to have been previously installed before an internet service can be provided by Telstra, Optus etc

  • WendyWoo3757 Wendy Irving (@WendyWoo3757) reported

    Hey @Optus, why did I have to list my credit card details when I opened my account but you never direct debit the amount I owe? I end up late each month. Why can’t you just send me a bill each month?
