    @Optus Thanks Nard. What causes an outage that only affects webmail?

  • KitaandMat Mat and Kita Clarke (@KitaandMat) reported from Maitland, State of New South Wales

    @OeterB @Fozbyte That's what I did! I'm an optus customer so it's included in my plan.

  • JKRLMazur Julian 🇦🇺 (@JKRLMazur) reported from Cessnock, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra Yep. Unfortunately I’m so disgusted with the way I’ve been treated as a customer will see me head to @optus Telstra high prices dont reflect the service you receive from staff when there is a problem. It’s disgraceful. By far the worst telco I have dealt with, ever.

  • GreatZack000 ooloo (@GreatZack000) reported

    How can we sue Optus for leaking all the private info. Passport, driving license, etc etc. They must held responsible to poor management of cyber security.

  • carter_wassana Wassana sydney (@carter_wassana) reported

    @StephenJonesMP What about this one??? Why is it always the future with you people and never the ' now'??? The govt should be hammering Optus and ensure all scams will have repercussions on Optus not its customers. Grow a spine for a change and stop being dictated to by big business

  • SteveFitSmart Stephen Sweatman (@SteveFitSmart) reported

    @samishah @Optus There are many cheaper than optus and telstra for one....Aldimobile. Runs on telstra network My entire comms bill is $35 per month 42 gig data, ROLLOVER

  • KRMFILM Kori Reay-Mackey (@KRMFILM) reported

    So Optus got hacked and the alternative is a company which charges extortionate prices and another who apparently seems to have consistent network issues Open to suggestions, folks

  • bullnala They’re gone 🎉 (@bullnala) reported

    @manjusrii Does anyone know if companies that use the Optus network are effected?

  • WyleECoyoteEsq WyleECoyoteESQ (@WyleECoyoteEsq) reported

    @kbrspace I dont know what is worse. Optus declaring it WASNT human error for the breach, or their security systems are so flawed that a hack was able to happen. Human error provides some reassurance optus security systems maybe sufficient, but with the denial, their security must be ****

  • jksnHP12 jaacckson (@jksnHP12) reported

    Gladys works for Optus, yeah? Can't she fix this mess?

  • R3iGns42 Harley (@R3iGns42) reported

    Optus should let us cancel our contract with no fee. So we can move to a different company, hand our devices in and let us walk away from this **** company. They are nothing without us.

    @joshgnosis It actually reads more like a tech fail, and own-goal by Optus IT.
