    @LawrieColliver Oh gosh. This is similar to optus. Who had issues with broadcasting the rugby world cup.

    I 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 🤨

    @Optus 3/1 Mills street South Brighton 5048 part(3) I cannot contact Optus any other way at this time. If the problem is in the box (on the outside of the building) a more secure locking mechanism must be provided. If not please change my contract to wireless.

    Online licence replacements are now available for affected Optus customers. Effective immediately, South Australians affected by the Optus data breach will be able to apply for a replacement licence online via their mySAGOV account - without having to attend a Service SA Centre.

    @Optus None of this helps. You couldn’t help me when it happened last year and I don’t doubt the answer will be the same again tomorrow. What the app says vs what my phone settings say are two completely different things.

  • davemc
    David McCandless (@davemc) reported from Adelaide, South Australia

    Seems my phone company Optus has been hacked so if you are being trolled or asked for money by me then you know that’s normal, but if there are stupid memes posted then I’ve been hacked

    @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

    @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.

    @actualeyez @Optus Yeah they are one of those doing this ‘subscription’ invoicing. They also don’t issue a bill for you to check before hand just an invoice after they have deducted the amount. What if they mess up & over charge & take your money if you do have it too? I bet not refunded quickly.

    @BSFootball @OptusSport Blame the PL for the rights they offer. It’s ridiculous but not an Optus issue.

  • wengywong
    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

    @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

  • GrantTDavies
    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?

  • miriamsilva595
    Miriam Silva (@miriamsilva595) reported from Adelaide, South Australia

    Terrible 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

    @Birdsperch Clearly no contingency for terrestrial fail [all eggs in one basket] even with satellite backup downlink distribution relies on terrestrial bearers (circuits), Even Optus with satellite support incorporates terrestrial distribution -Contingency planning is key & costs money

    I hope the telecommunications industry fines @Telstra for this outage the same way they did Optus!!!

  • DanielleHitch
    Danielle Hitch (@DanielleHitch) reported

    Update 2: Helped to log into messaging (good). Now I discover the complaint is filed under 'a credit default' - wtf! Called to review plan and get new phone. I'm back to the person that said 'no' this morning. Would be funny if it wasn't so utterly infuriating...@Optus

    Somehow made it home in time after a 2.2k walk I don’t care anymore car is **** I don’t think max will score points today watching the start on mute i don’t want to listen to that engine phone is ****** as well and didn’t fully track my walk which is a good excuse to get a new phone before Zandvoort hopefully Optus is nice to me so I can get a phone with more then 128gb of storage 🙏🏼

    @BusyTonn Somewhat true. Telecom never had a FTTP plan, but CBDs did have Telstra fibre in the 1990s (after Optus started).

    @footyindustryAU SBS know what their doing and I hope they never lose it again. They proved themselves the home of the world cup after Optus.

    Australians deserve answers on many things that concern Labor.. on your continuing lying your actions concerning Australia.. your misogyny.. your disgusting stance on women .. the aged .. veterans .. how you gift taxpayers money to overseas .. we Ned an audit on Gov’t actions.. on you ant the whole Labor party .. Anthony Albanese says the outage affecting Telstra’s national network was “deeply concerning”, claiming Australians were “entitled to answers” but that investigations were ongoing. “It’s very disruptive to people’s lives throughout the country. This is a national outage that has varied effects,” the Prime Minister told reporters in Brisbane. “The Triple-0 custodian is in constant contact with Telstra and with the emergency services, and investigations are underway at this stage. What Telstra have indicated to the government is that they don’t see this as being … malicious, but those investigations are underway.” Mr Albanese pointed to government measures crackind won on Australian telco’s in the wake of the Optus Triple-0 scandal claiming the government would continue to engage with Telstra over the outage. “We’ll continue to engage constructively. But I think people are entitled to get answers, but they also want answers that are accurate and those investigations are ongoing,” he said.

    The Optus Stadium surface is simply the worst; it’s worse than those arena shows that do Disney on Ice

  • RaymondKeown3

    @TimjboAU I will be more than interested if this has been issues related to routers in call centres, and what was the country of origin, I did recommend long ago to Optus the reasoning for not using a certain China Telco provider. I wonder if history has repeated?

  • LK2882

    @col_colin1 @IncrediblyBozza I do agree with the cancel culture sentiment. However, he is the only person with a statue at Optus Stadium. I’d argue he didn’t get there for his services to football if Polly Farmer doesn’t have a statue?
