  • 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.

  • jason_b_fan sEaman iN syDney (@jason_b_fan) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Don’t sign up with Optus!!! They’re too slow to get a new phone for you! I’ve been told to wait for 1-2weeks, but now is about 4 weeks.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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 😳

  • craigcromar Cromar PTG (@craigcromar) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus whats going on with your Mobile reception in emu plains and st marys since the tower update reception has been so bad 1 bar

  • 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

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

    So disappointed with @TPG_Telecom. I’ve been a customer for ten years and can’t believe how shabby their customer service has gotten. Guess it’s off to @Optus for our NBN needs

  • 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?!

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

    @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

  • 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

  • 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.

    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!

  • danoz74 Daniel Auffret (@danoz74) reported

    @mariewalsh18 Optus, yesterday. Haven’t been a customer in 5 + years

  • kollectivekook courts⁷⤮ (@kollectivekook) reported

    @billytae_cyrus omg elena 😭 have u received a text? because if u get a text from optus, that’s when it’s real bad and they’ll offer help in id protection 💀

  • thistlepress Melody Owen aka Pearl Hyacinth (@thistlepress) reported

    @WideawakeBeets @Optus why not use amayasim? it's month to month and cheap. i never had any issues with that one and i've been here 3 years.

  • iiNet iiNet (@iiNet) reported

    @MickJumpertz There’s nothing to worry about, Mick. The Optus incident has impacted Optus customers only. iiNet customers are not impacted.

  • Stalruth Stuart Rutherford (@Stalruth) reported

    It's no coincidence that New South Wales has the worst response to the Optus breach, because it's the state run by South Western Sydney. The hacker should release all information they have on everyone living in South Western Sydney. Then we might see some justice.

  • Oz_Rob_OG Oz_Rob (@Oz_Rob_OG) reported

    @ClareONeilMP Time and time again we see that self-regulation doesn’t work. The fact that Optus aren’t being transparent demonstrates their desire to minimise damage to their share price rather than to minimise damage to Australians. Make the C-Suite personally liable.

  • CarrieOS Carrie (@CarrieOS) reported

    @trevorlong @Rebelstorm @9NewsAUS I’m an Optus customer but haven’t heard a thing from Optus. Do I just assume??

  • Zoppy_McZop Zoppy McZop (Paul) 4x 💉 (@Zoppy_McZop) reported

    @jojoeyjo9 @NiKKi_E13 I haven’t been an Optus customer for over 18 months and just got the email. Why are they storing my details when I’m no longer a customer ?

  • kano778 Kane Miller (@kano778) reported

    @PMalinauskasMP wait wait wait.. I’m an Optus customer and what have I missed? 🤔

  • loulouleeisme Lou (@loulouleeisme) reported

    I'm a past @Optus customer. How do I know if my details have been compromised?
