'Sam' The Sage (@sageultimate) reported
@Optus Big deal 🙄 I got that item free when buying a phone online direct from China. Optus is a failure. After 30 years mobile/cable/nbn I was treated v badly. Never again.

Covid Is Over! 🦘 🇦🇺 (@Covid_19_Hoax) reported
I am in southern rural Victoria and I have good Optus 5G coverage here so everything goes through my mobile phone to my computers and TV and it is 250mbs inside the house and 300 to 400 mbs outside, if I ever move to an area where only NBN fixed wireless is available I wont be touching it as it is slow and costs a fortune, I'll be getting star link

@rhysam @Telstra Change to Optus call centres are no better but the fibre NBN seems to work. Buy your own wifi router and plug it directly into the port on the fibre modem. Problem solved

@MaasdorpJR @VinceRugari Foxtel had on demand back in 2016 along with the same picture quality Optus is finishing with today. You only had to pay for someone’s backyard iptv subscription service to see how truely average Optus sport was.

@LFC_Australia @justinpa1 I have two services running on Optus. I ported one number to TPG for a very good deal for 6 months and a discounted rate after that, since I have TPG NBN. I also got a very good deal for my other Optus service, which my wife uses.

@optus_help Will let that customer know when they receive July bill they should not get charged. They kept paper bill before they had attempt by Optus for NBN when NBN hadn't been installed. They got a refund after initial charge

@optus_help @foxgobrr @Optus I have been getting extra charges for using Optus data (which I am not using). I called on phone and online but your customer service people appear too simple minded to understand that I DO NOT USE OPTUS DATA! I watch Optus sports using data from another provider.

@alfi589 @gavin_laing Why? Presuming there’s an element of customer transfer from Optus baked into the deal (promo offers etc) they’ll do it easily. Not to mention the far more attractive proposition of one-stop shop for EPL and UCL. If they add 500k customers that’s $210m in annual revenue.

@TicsVitsJacThic Worst we had was one of my wives super funds (had 2 not rolled over yet) wanted the original marriage certificate sent to them in the post, wouldn't accept a certified copy where pretty much everyone else did and should...ridiculous. Hope Optus is your last difficult one...

V ✨ (@TicsVitsJacThic) reported
consider my shock when ******* Optus of all places are making changing my name on my account so ******* painful. Service NSW? Breezy. ATO? Effortless. AEC? Not a worry. But Optus? They need your certificate, physical ID for both names, a vile of blood and my first born

Dolphins vs Knights in Perth drew a crowd of 10,000. Small in Rugby League terms, but this is after a double header at Optus and a sold out State of Origin match. Maybe there is more support for NRL in WA than we think… #NRL #nrldolphinsknights
