  Deadset @Optus your “customer service” from your loyalty team is disgraceful… Still haven’t had a reply after 25 minutes and counting. No wonder I’m looking elsewhere. #disgusted

  @electricfuture5 @Telstra Lack of data in shopping centres consistently was the main reason for me moving. Was going on for 6+ months. Went into the Telstra shop and they were all on wifi. With Optus now, obviously have their own history but I have had far less issues with them.

  In 2022, Optus (Australia's 2nd biggest telco) exposed 9.8 million customer records. Root cause: an old API endpoint from a legacy system, left unauthenticated, facing the public internet. No one knew it was still running.

  @FOXFOOTY @GerardWhateley No problem with Gather Round staying in SA but to say it wouldn’t be the same in any other state is completely facetious. It could be easily replicated in WA, imagine a game at the WACA then a walk over the bridge to another game at Optus. Play Freo at Freo Oval for fun even.

  Screw you @Optus. Putting my plan up again and trying to make it sound better by giving me more data. I don’t use the data I have now. I’ve moved providers so no longer a customer.

  I wanted to apply but I'm sorry the UX is ridiculously bad. @Optus just give an email i can reach and send all the info and my cv bc I'aint gonna talk to this damn bot and wait 5 seconds each time i put an info. It took me 1 min just to fill my basic account info.

  💥BREAKING NEWS: Let's talk about Optus and the 'outage'!💥 There has been a lot of speculation and questioning over the suspicious Optus outage. This explosive video exposes what is really going on and shows with evidence its links to the corruption in the Australian Government

  Phone bills are about to bite harder - Optus, Telstra and Vodafone have told customers mobile prices will rise soon, squeezing household budgets across Australia. First, the hikes are being driven by higher network and operating costs, inflation and ongoing 5G investment, and will hit both postpaid accounts and some prepaid users. Second, timing and scale differ by provider - some increases take effect within weeks and could outpace general inflation, so expect clear monthly impacts. Third, consumer protections are limited - check your contract, know your exit rights and review small-business plans. Act now: compare plans, contact your provider for options and escalate to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman or ACCC if you need help. #Telecoms #CostOfLiving #Australia

  @OMGTheMess The problem is, if the Libs got in whilst that program was being rolled out: today's batteries would be replaced with traditional car batteries, older inverters would be used, they pull ye ol optus cable and repurpose it for electrical wiring. Solar replaced with wind etc...

  @Kate3015 @Mark_Butler_MP So was the Optus Mobile Phone Network, all must have a design, this was a thought process.
