  • alderman1973 Peter Alderman (@alderman1973) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Offshore @Optus call centre's are the death of me at the moment. One hour and still no level of comprehension to resolve my problem with mobile charges. Horrific customer service.

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

    @Optus is the network down in 2022 (Oatley Mortdale ) I've been on H+ all morning can barely tweet let alone use apps, its not even enough optus open app to check network status. Why are we getting these connection issues .

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

    Summarizes the real conservation. Me: I want to cancel my plan. Optus: Why. Me: My data has been leaked. Optus: I can give u some discount. Me: No thanks. Optus: I checked your account, apparently your data has not been leaked. Me: Explain why I received the alert emails from u.

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

    Is anyone else having issues with the Optus Sport stream this morning

  • NigelHighley Nigel Highley (@NigelHighley) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @AlboMP Hows the reversal of the anti syphoning of the EPL coming along? Shouldn't have to be an optus mobile customer to gain access

  • adhdbusiness Untypical Business @adhdbusiness@mstdn.jp (@adhdbusiness) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Well done @optus. My current plan is $63 a month and gets me 160gb and unlimited international roaming plus 2gb data. The new plans are $59 for 100gb PLUS $5 a month for roaming with no data. I’ll either stay on my old plan or jump ship elsewhere because the value is bad.

  • msstraighty180 Tiffany (@msstraighty180) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @HansOrph @Optus Had bad customer experience with them in 2009 thus they've been blacklisted by me since then

  • vacant3rdman Anthony Horton @spacelizard@aus.social (@vacant3rdman) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus I bought a 4G modem for use at a location that has coverage from your 4G network, only to find that it's artificially limited to 3G speeds. This is totally unacceptable. I want a refund so I can spend the money on a Telstra modem instead.

  • BradJCurtis2 Brad Curtis🇦🇺🇩🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺🇦🇺 (@BradJCurtis2) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Why ******** is Optus Sport not allowing me to watch anything saying: need to be Optus Sport Premium Subscriber? Only just started now. So the $25 per month isn't the premium

  • just_brash Justin Brash 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇦🇺🍸📷🐱 (@just_brash) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Tim_Fiddes I’m on the very leaky Optus network.

  • lyng62 Lyn (aka The Tractor 🚜) (@lyng62) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus call centre staff are immeasurably incompetent it took three phone calls in order to cancel a service for a house I’m moving out of Not that difficult you would think. Gave them a date - 1st Feb It was cancelled within two minutes now I have no Internet…

  • leebailey11 Lee Bailey (@leebailey11) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus my NBN has been showing a reduced service for almost 24 hours and is still listed as ‘under investigation’. Any chance someone will get the investigation done soon. With downloads of 3.14mbps and uploads at 0.44mbps I can’t do anything currently

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

    @Optus the living network. What a load of ****. More like the network on life support. It is not normal to receive bullshit texts saying great news we're improving the network when you send those texts every 2 weeks.

  • _marty_k Marty K (@_marty_k) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @developerjack You gotta wonder if there’s been a bank hack that hasn’t hit the news yet… & they’re trying to get ahead of it instead of the poor response a-la-Optus & Medibank

  • JVizzone John Vizzone (@JVizzone) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Wonder how the Optus customers are going? More than 18 months after some pirate called Service NSW and illegally obtained and changed my licence details to then access various institutions I deal with to steal from me, today Service NSW finally issued me a new licence number.

  • ProbalC Probal Chakravorty (@ProbalC) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Almost 20 days @TPG_Telecom could not deliver a modem..confusion,promises, no update, silence and frustration. Absolutely customer unfriendly organisation with fake processes being in place.. shall I go to @Optus or @Telstra now..who can help me?

  • GT_AUS Graeme T (he/him)💉x 4😷 - 🌳🌲 🍃🌏 (@GT_AUS) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @janine_hendry @MargaretHollin1 @Optus Ah yes, seems things haven't changed since I dropped them a few years ago. Still fascinates me they are a going concern. Mgmt here and parent, SINGTEL couldn't give a rat's arse about customer service. 👎😡🤬

  • vijayarumugam Vijay Arumugam (@vijayarumugam) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @evilscootus @BigKev67 I'm aware of the poor cricket attendances in Perth from the early 1990s. When Tendulkar reached his 100 at the WACA in 1991-92, there was a tiny crowd. Optus isn't easy to access through public transport? That's a shame, for such a wonderful facility.

  • HaisamMorhi11 Haisam Morhi (@HaisamMorhi11) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    You are an absolute joke @Optus Went into a store about an issue and they couldn't fix the problem and twice today I contacted the customer care centre, both times got put on hold and you hung up on me. I'l be contacting the ombudsman and moving my services to @Telstra

  • 50to39 Donna Longhurst (@50to39) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    The latest Optus ad deals with their cyber attack. Fair enough. My problem is they use the term 'learnings'. A word that doesn't exist in the English language. Lessons is the correct term, or 'what we have learnt'. If they can't get something that simple right, I wonder....

  • lee1australian Proud to be a prole (@lee1australian) reported

    @Justinsteer3 @VoteLewko @ChrisMinnsMP Yeah right .. look at optus. For public services it does not work, they cut costs, staff and lower service to make a profit. No accountability or responsibility, just put the prices up.

  • StephenChoular1 Stephen Choularton (@StephenChoular1) reported

    I wonder why no one has mentioned apropos Optus that passwords can be encrypted in a way that they can NEVER be decrypted and put at risk. One would have thought it would be best practice.

  • bazmorganzx Baz (@bazmorganzx) reported

    @Distincctt @cok295 @BrisbaneAirport They aren’t talking bout service cutting in and out except the fact that Optus leaked everyone’s info to hackers and now it’s getting released everywhere

  • KernkeReg Reg Kernke (@KernkeReg) reported

    Wow @optus September 30 at 1:51 pm and you can't confirm if my account was impacted by 'this incident'. #OptusHack My next bill is due within the week, my guess is that it will be on time and payable without impact or delay.

  • Sam__Kooba Rhian Kuiper (@Sam__Kooba) reported

    @cellulitehero @McShayne2011 @jaimyn_m Disagree, Andy. Ppl need to know how easy it is and what is like for those whose identities were stolen long before this Optus open door fail. Their lives ruined, and unable to reclaim their identity.

  • John_King55 John (@John_King55) reported

    @kingswood10 @YouAreLobbyLud This isn't part of the Optus issue. Just that his new licence is due & it's 10yr mark so requires new photo.

  • rivkhali5 fine&mental (@rivkhali5) reported

    @abcnews Meaningless PR when my multiple attempts to communicate with @Optus to get answers to 2 simple questions result in failure & frustration. Stop saying sorry and provide some basic customer service.

  • Lulu69561608 Lulu (@Lulu69561608) reported

    @EquifaxAU How about honouring the discount code provided by Optus for its impacted customers?… they have provided me with two different codes and none of them work on your website. I am sure ACCC and media will be very interested in this issue !

  • PeterPrincipas Peter Principas (@PeterPrincipas) reported

    Optus just now advised of problem by sms, f it

  • sword0138 Robert Lancaster-Scown (@sword0138) reported

    @Optus I am an Optus customer and can I say you have nothing to be sorry about to me. It’s a sad reality that companies need to have high security for customer details today, the criminals who hack companies are the people who should be sorry. #OptusDataBreach #Optus
