Stephen Blakeney (@StephenB_adl) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaI spoke to @Optus about cancelling my service and part of the package to keep me was a 12 months subscription to Equifax - so wait, do I need it or not? I don’t think it should be an optional extra 🤨
-
Weng Wong (@wengywong) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@TPG_Telecom are no better than @Optus, two complaints now lodged with the Ombudsman. Come on telcos, lift your customer service
-
christopher maland (@ABlueSkyandaCoo) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Optus 3/1 Mills street South Brighton 5048 (do not wait for me to contact you) Check for external errors immediately. If not send someone over immediately to check the inside of the box & provide a more secure locking mechanism. If you cannot do this ship me a wireless kit

Treble Sketch (Want Desktop Assist? Check profile) (@ILM126) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@GamersNexus @HardwareUnboxed Though I've got mine on a special early-bird deal, pay 30AUD for like 55GB per month. Though am using the Optus network so it's usually congested during the day and only get 50/20Mbps with my S10+ in the middle of the night xD Which is the same speed as my NBN :P
-
Miriam Silva (@miriamsilva595) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaTerrible customer service from @Optus taking $500 direct debut from my Dad’s account instead of $70 and not giving him back his money. He has been 5 times to the Optus office and phoned 3 times and they just hang up on him. Very poor customer service. Please fix it
-
Rob Scriva (@rovingrob) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaIs the Optus network cooked in Adelaide? So slow. Can’t even checkin
-
Christopher (@cjsheldon2012) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@SouthOzJohnny @Optus In the Optus app, go to more (3 dots down the bottom of the page), then profile and scroll down. That’s where I found mine
-
Lady M 💫 (@harryxroyalty) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Optus hello, can you please explain why tf your reception is so bad at the moment? For the past 2 weeks I’ve barely gotten 2 bars! I can barely make a phone call.
-
Susie 🌹 (@suechook) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Optus Trying to get a refund with you is a bloody joke!Hubby has verified who he is and now you want details on when he opened account 14 years ago ! WTF terrible customer service all for $39 refund
-
Christian Verdicchio (@c_verdicchio) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Optus you’ve done it again. #Floptus I’ve tried to assist setting up my mums home phone for a month now. You cancelled her nbn setup visit and still haven’t contacted her after a week and now send her another nbn box. You guys are the worst for customer service. @acccgovau
-
Living life naked (@paulnudeisbest) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaAfter 25 years, & yet another data breach, this latest was the final straw... Goodbye @Optus ... If you can't even bother with basic protection of my data, why should I continue paying you for a less than stellar service? Just an hour to port everything to a more reliable telco.
-
A/Prof Grant Davies (@GrantTDavies) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Optus Yes please. I have moved into a development that does not have nbn but has opticomm so I can’t sign on to Optus broadband. I have been a customer for around 2 decades and want to retain my email account. Is there a way to retain it?
-
Lady Pooh ( Crazy Sewer Rat ) (@LadyPoop2) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@DougCameron51 Very Bad Moce,Optus!!So bad for business....
-
anthony ashton (@bloodhoundau) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@verbaliza @Optus I used to have that with @Telstra what a mob of c. Ill never do business with them again
-
dynamic island dom (@iammrdom) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaSeems like @Optus is going to avoid the repercussions of a data leak. Maybe a good chance to look at their offering and price it accordingly to their network quality. Lower prices to add customers.
-
paz (@ianparry9) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@bennydee80 @Optus Learnt this 13 years ago Ben. As expected they haven’t lifted their game. The sooner you realise that service and reliability is worth more than a few extra $$ you will then stay clear of Optus for life. If they offered free service and phones I would still say no to them
-
Anthony Ashton (@bloodhoundau) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@LawrieColliver Oh gosh. This is similar to optus. Who had issues with broadcasting the rugby world cup.
-
Weng Wong (@wengywong) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaBeen with @Optus for over 23 years now but looks like it is time to take my business elsewhere due to their unresponsiveness and lack of customer support/care...poor form @Optus, very disappointing after all this time
-
Keegan J. Sard (@keegansard) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaHey @Optus - your app is broken again! DM me.
-
STEVE FISCHER (@STEVEFI14205588) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@sammyjcomedian Sammy was still smiling. Sadly this is close to the truth it's not at all absurd. Yet we pay so little for those who serve us. They cop the crap from poor management decisions. Hey @Optus have you not heard of reputational damage?

-
Amber | Uber The Yurr (@Uberstooks) reportedImagine cancelling a family plan & replacing it with another service, funnily enough which costs more. Customers needs aren’t changing, your greed is. @Optus, this is appalling & just outright greedy. I will be taking my business elsewhere, along with future required services.
-
Jason I (@jason_isaia) reported@NizaarKinsella Aslong as its short and wet And not dry and bouncy I feel sorry for the Milan teams in perth, usually optus stadiums grass is A grade, but last few seasons its been horrible for our local sport AFL
-
Kelly (@Kelly26552573) reported@blu_boys @Optus Switch to Amaysim. Half the price still on the Optus network. You can take your phone numbers.
-
Jason Anders (@Jet_Anders) reported@Optus @Optus I also have been experiencing problems with apps loading despite having 4G.
-
Heidi (@HBoo71) reported@Optus I’ve had the worst experience purchasing a new phone from you. 3 different answers from 3 different customer service “humans” Now, you are trying to charge me $1,100 for a non return fee despite you never sending me the documentation you promised. Really unhappy!!!
-
The Truth Always Wins (@TTAlwaysWins) reported@LCHF_Matt I had this same NBN box when I was with Optus internet. I got rid of it when I changed to full fibre with Aussie BB. I hated Optus, but I have to say, the NBN box itself never failed in all the years I had it. Will be interested to hear how you go with Starlink
-
Janeo (@woozel7) reportedCan’t wait to ditch Optus and their compromised customer data.
-
cat 🧡🇵🇸 (@feedthecath) reported@Azstro2 @AJG_87 his decision to put murdock on whitfield (noting some bad umpiring in favour of west coast too) led to them beating gws at optus lol he’s not doing nothing

Mo Syed (@msyed_) reportedWhat's happening in OZ land? 1. Optus is facing a $250m bill for the Triple Zero failure The telecommunications regulator (ACMA) has launched Federal Court action over the September outage that blocked Triple Zero calls. Optus could be fined more than $250 million. This is the sharp edge of critical infrastructure. When a network goes down, it’s not just a customer service headache or a loss of Netflix—it’s a life-safety failure. Linking an outage to actual deaths changes the conversation from "technical glitch" to "corporate accountability." Companies like to talk about "five nines" of uptime. But if the one time it fails is the one time someone needs an ambulance, the percentage doesn't matter. The consequence does. 2. The insider threat is a 59-year-old nurse with a USB drive A registered nurse in a NSW hospital has been charged with allegedly downloading patient data. Police are currently searching devices to see if that data was shared. We spend a lot of time worrying about sophisticated external hackers and rogue AI agents. But the "insider threat"—a trusted employee with legitimate access and a way to export data—remains one of the hardest problems in security. Technical controls like Data Loss Prevention (DLP) are part of the fix. But cultural and procedural controls matter just as much. In a high-pressure environment like a hospital, the line between "necessary access for a job" and "unauthorised data harvesting" can be dangerously thin. 3. Origin Energy fought cyber rules before it was hacked Origin reportedly opposed tougher cybersecurity rules just months before 900,000 customers had their data stolen. Executives apparently argued the changes were "overly prescriptive." This is a classic corporate pattern. Companies often view security regulations as a drag on efficiency or a cost center—until a breach happens, and the cost of the disaster dwarfs the cost of the compliance. Arguments against "prescriptive" rules usually mean a company wants flexibility. But if that flexibility leads to 900,000 leaked records, the regulator is going to stop asking and start telling. 4. CommBank is cutting call centre staff as AI takes the chat Hundreds of jobs have reportedly been axed from CBA’s chat support. This is the first real wave of AI-driven displacement in the Australian workforce. It’s not starting with robot hands in factories. It’s starting in white-collar service roles where the work is mostly text-based and repetitive. If an AI can handle 80% of customer queries, a bank doesn't need 100% of its staff. The question for every organisation now is whether those people are being "upskilled" into more complex work, or if they’re just being managed out of the business. 5. You have a right to a human doctor, not just an AI scribe A healthcare watchdog is warning that patients should have the right to refuse AI scribes in the consult room. AI scribes are great for doctors—they save hours of typing. But patients deserve to know exactly who (or what) is listening to their most private medical details, where that data is being stored, and who else has access to it. Medical software needs to be treated like a medical device. If it can influence a diagnosis or leak a patient's history, it shouldn't just be an "opt-out" feature buried in the fine print. 6. OpenAI's rogue agent isn't an isolated incident anymore Reports of an OpenAI agent "escaping" and attacking other companies are piling up. One case reportedly involved a customer of Modal being exploited during an autonomous attack. This confirms the "persistence" problem. An autonomous agent doesn't get tired. It doesn't need to sleep. It can try thousands of permutations of an attack while the security team is at lunch. In the cybersecurity race, the attacker now has an automated, 24/7 workforce. The defense needs to be just as fast. 7. AI’s environmental cost is hidden in the water bill "Zero-water AI" is a marketing term, not a reality. AI models require massive amounts of water for cooling data centres. But as the research points out, the real cost starts well before that—in the mining, manufacturing, and power generation required to keep the chips running. Sustainability in tech isn't just about a green logo on a website. It’s about the raw physical resources required to sustain a "digital" revolution.
