  • tomarild82 mariah carey’d me through (@tomarild82) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Okay. I will, but based on the past three years this is what will happen: Information provided. Check completed. ‘There’s no issues in your area- maybe there’s a lot of people on the system in your area’. No resolution.

  • AshleyUbrihien Ashley Ubrihien (@AshleyUbrihien) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus I recently order a new NBN and someone at Optus changed my first name to my middle name without even asking. Now your staff are telling me I need to go to an Optus store to update something I never asked to change. How is this possible?

  • AGhostMachine 👻Ğ̵̛͒́͌̋̔̈́Ḥ̷̼̪̥̹̉̿Ǫ̵̛̝̠̺̘̠͛̅̊͊̄̈́̃̄S̵T👻 (@AGhostMachine) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Unfortunately between @Telstra @Optus and @tarongazoo's own wifi we can't get a signal that allows us to stream :( Zoo stream is cancelled sorry guys :( See you from 6pm for the Meetup Stream!

  • MsSaffaa MS SΛFFΛΛ صفاء (@MsSaffaa) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus .. i haven't been able to make phone calls or use my internet from my home since last week. It's irresponsible of Optus to undergo network maintenance without letting us know in advance. I was promised as many others that the network would be up and running by Friday.

  • vanwaitsy Angela..no more rinse and repeat PLEASE 🇾🇪♥️ (@vanwaitsy) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @williammcf49 @knaggsy097 That sounds stressful. I just log into Optus on my computer then HDMI it to the tv. It's just the computer is ****. I've tried using the TV cast option but that's **** too

  • FiFeeney Fi (@FiFeeney) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus I purchased a 5GB data Add On and by the end of the day it said I was down to 500MB, but when I looked deeper it recorded no usage. Please help, where’s my data and money going?!

  • Burgo0806 Courtney (@Burgo0806) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Hi @Telstra I just went into one of your store as I want to port across 2 mobiles and home internet across from Optus. Much to my surprise, the customer service rep told me because I’m a new customer I can’t port across 2 phones. Is this accurate 😳

  • MickyG72 Mike Gleeson (@MickyG72) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Helias09 Had enough. Optus mini match from now on. #Garbage #MUFC

  • Oli_gal Oli Gallagher (@Oli_gal) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @hughwizzy So so daft all that pricing. Here you can get every single PL & UCL game for either $100 (£50) a year or free if you’re with Optus phone network

  • DjuroSen Djuro Sen (@DjuroSen) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @a_choros @Optus I’d pay that no problem but we can’t get that service at this address. Just got off the phone with them.

  • Hugh_96 Hugh_96 (@Hugh_96) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Quade, its fine, was just letting you know, it happens fortnightly, it was fine all day today, then tonight slows down, you cant resolve it, so just thought it maybe of value to let you know. No need to reply. Thanks.

    @Yos1wt @RavenZech2 @auspost It’s not a shift worker thing. I have mine turned off for this very reason. Optus alerted me to a usage issue but i only just saw the text that came through after midnight. And then there are Zuckerbook Messenger users and SMS senders from other time zones etc

  • cgfmrf maria russo-fama (@cgfmrf) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus @Optus I have sent yet another DM and waiting on a response. We are still without service. Please respond ASAP

  • AmitojThind Amitoj Thind (@AmitojThind) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Now can y’all fix the reception in The Ponds/Rouse Hill 🙄 @Optus

  • JakePorritt Payln Konga (@JakePorritt) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @mgn87 Get a VPN and I’ll shoot you my Optus Sports login

  • BeauGiles Beau 😷 (@BeauGiles) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @notsomadboy @FantaRising Leases are gone now for Optus/Telstra/Vodafone - all plans are month to month and you pick a phone to pay off over 12/24/36 months (usually just the retail price split) - move plans up/down each month - or just bail at any time and just have remaining phone payments to pay.

  • MichaelSchulz MichaelSchulz (@MichaelSchulz) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @optus business down?? Phone message says major outage in Sydney.

  • MsSaffaa MS SΛFFΛΛ صفاء (@MsSaffaa) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @tomascl @Optus Innerwest. I was told I will have interruptions in my area until mid December. It's frustrating. I never signed up for Optus anyway. Virgin mobil became Optus and since then my internet and phone reception have't been the same. It's time to find a new provider.

  • amitchhabra84 amit kumar (@amitchhabra84) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    So disappointed @Optus for only offering just black pixel 5 not the green one 😠😠.... I was waiting for last 4 months... @madebygoogle .. Anyways better move to different service provider

  • AdamNotMadam69 Adam! (@AdamNotMadam69) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @backupbear Vodafone charge $5/GB now if you happen to be overseas or on an ancient plan. Both Telstra and Voda just slow you down if you download too much. It’s only Optus that charges $10/GB now

  • noreasonspec The Cowabunga Chocobo (@noreasonspec) reported

    “Customers who believe their data may have been compromised, or who have specific concerns, were asked to contact Optus through the My Optus App” - pour one out for optus customer service peeps

  • msjordzadele jordan (@msjordzadele) reported

    @Optus have had absolutely ZERO connection or service all day. still have 4G listed and 3 bars of service; yet absolutely nothing is loading. this is ridiculous

  • Jules7 Jules7 (@Jules7) reported

    Dear @Optus why is sensitive customer information stored on internet facing servers?

  • Patrick89317311 Celtic Wolf (@Patrick89317311) reported

    @Optus @Lulu16Belle I just signed up yesterday! Give my passport, drivers licence and Medicare numbers to someone in the Phillipines! And now this ! WTF

  • MoonBagz01 Kobe-LJ™️ (@MoonBagz01) reported

    @MentorSixP @Optus Internet has been down for a full week now. Site says no maintenance. Struggling out here

  • TimHarcourt Tim Harcourt (@TimHarcourt) reported

    @Optus can you contact me - problems with my account

  • Zhukov82176036 Zhukov (@Zhukov82176036) reported

    Last week I was going to switch from Optus as my mobile phone provider because of their horrible services, but then I realised that I switched from Vodafone to Optus for the same reason, and from Telstra to Vodafone before that. I love it when I have so many options for garbage

  • Matt_Tulk Matt_Tulk (@Matt_Tulk) reported

    I’d be very nervous being an Optus customer right now I hope there sim swap procedures are water tight

  • djshotty69 DJ Shotty (@djshotty69) reported

    I urge any Optus customer who is contacted on their mobile phone by a caller ID (phone number) they do not recognise to 1. answer the call, 2. tell the caller to **** OFF, then 3. hang up and report the number as a scam caller. Here endeth the lesson. #optushack

  • ali_kyteler Alison Kyteler 🌈 (@ali_kyteler) reported

    @joshgnosis Presuming it includes the 1.2M Amaysim customers who were sold to Optus when it bought Amaysim in Feb '21! @AlboMP @MRowlandMp Govt. needs to stop co. storing ID docs; once ID verified these need to be deleted. Fix it; this breach type will happen more into future, all cos.
