  • CavillJyckel Jyckel C (@CavillJyckel) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @EdKent77 @Optus So hard to support from a distance, particularly when she’s distressed already.

  • iB3nji Ben (@iB3nji) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @mrdanielfeo @Optus @Telstra Agree, 1.5Mbps is terrible.

  • iB3nji Ben (@iB3nji) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @blake_andersson @Telstra @Optus Go Boost Mobile! I’m with them. Same Telstra network, unlimited Apple Music, more data for less. Pre-paid.

  • petenowakowski Pete Nowakowski (@petenowakowski) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @kirstinferguson @Optus My parents and I on Optus network. Mum got the txt, dad and I didn't.

  • petenowakowski Pete Nowakowski (@petenowakowski) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @DanielNigro76 Yep. Parents house connected to Optus network.

  • cambuslangtrain John Roach (@cambuslangtrain) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @LesStonehouse Faithful to Telstra for 40 years despite our blind loyalty not being reciprocated in quality of service or pricing. Switched to Optus at NBN connection time some years back. Could not be happier with Optus!! Stuff Telstra "and all who ro(r)t in her!!"

  • iB3nji Ben (@iB3nji) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra_news “Telstra operate the nation’s only 5G network”. I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure @Optus has 5G too.

  • Thought_Patrol Thought Patrol (@Thought_Patrol) reported from Kiama, State of New South Wales

    Normal service resumed thanks @Optus

  • roseannebyrne 💧🌱pragmaticleftie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪💔 (@roseannebyrne) reported from Kiama, State of New South Wales

    @LesStonehouse @Telstra @Optus Oh He's. It does seem older folk were totally neglected in all of this. No NBN no phone. Cutoffs before they were ready. Expectations they'd understand it all. Neighbour is nearly 90 and it's been awful trying to keep him connected. All on his own.

  • kezzaMalanga Kerry Hunter (@kezzaMalanga) reported

    @ElysseMorgan If you were ever an Optus customer you’re still at risk. They kept all data!

  • debritz Brett Debritz (@debritz) reported

    I'm an Optus customer and I don't want a new passport. It was enough hassle getting the one I have. And, as I've noted before, everywhere I've travelled, hotel staff and foreign governments have taken photocopies of my actual passport -- more useful to fraudsters than a number.

  • thewollemipine sydneysider 😷😁 (@thewollemipine) reported

    you then have to fill in a special form+take this to service NSW. Service NSW will check breach with Optus. Eventually you will get a new Drivers Lic number. Ppl are getting confused between your Drivers Lic number + your Drivers Lic card number. The Driver Lic num is what counts

  • Rowenawozhere Rowena S (@Rowenawozhere) reported

    @TMRQld @davidtickle @Optus This process is inflexible and inconvenient. Are you extending service centre hours? Are you increasing staffing? Why can’t this be done over the phone? What about people who can’t attend service centres?

  • jayystanlee WorldWideNews (@jayystanlee) reported

    0800 sydney rain thunder all night it might be a nice day optus sms the worse isnt over yet SEN live radio turned into CARJACKING THE NACC..anti corruption commission DAM...about to FAIL in SA fuel prices have already started rising dally M awards tonight opals set up GF belgium

  • justbrowsing4no just looking (@justbrowsing4no) reported

    @SenPaterson @Birmo WTF are you talking about? This is not the government’s fault. It’s not even the hacker’s fault. This is all in Optus and they should pay any and all remunerations. Did you think this ‘principled stance’ through? You need better advisers

  • miss_neko_nadi ꕥNekoꕥ (@miss_neko_nadi) reported

    @AnnastaciaMP Just called @TMRQld you have to go in to a service center with the email your received from @Optus prove you were effected.

  • NoLongerVerbose 🎆Another Smith🎆 (@NoLongerVerbose) reported

    I asked does this mean if I get a new phone and new contract there are no fees? "Yes" was the response. I told them, great I'm going to Telstra. I left due to that poor customer experience. Did I just get an email from Optus? Yes. #optusbreach 3/3

  • XRP_Jadey86 Jadey 🇭🇲 (@XRP_Jadey86) reported

    @BoonBroAus 💯👌 no way they had openenly accessible ways in. all a load of horse ****. Optus would have been hacked long ago if that were the case... They simply sold off their customers data and blamed a hack. it seems to be the in thing for mass corporations these day. nothing is safe

  • scottjla Scott (@scottjla) reported

    @bentsolutionsau @ripcripz @jasonjordan The problem is that it's a way Optus can make out it was an attack on them, when it's more comparable to a "break and entry" through an open door
