  @ChinaSelect Australia has had two major telecommunications network failures. As a result of the Telstra failure, three people died, including a baby. One person died as a result of the Optus failure. No infrastructure should have any exposure to foreign adversaries.

  Seifert to Sixers would be a fun one & yes, way better than Babar. I thought Allen would be a Scorcher his entire career, but well he's said to move to Stars. I just remember @IndianMourinho saying Optus is probably the worst venue for a batter, so atleast that way he's saved.

  @optus_help I’m not entering my personal details to one more Optus representative. This needs to be escalated to the Ombudsman. No one can respond or communicate with me about this issue. And there has been absolutely no effort to restore services.

  We need the telco to learn #auspol but as an Optus customer .who has seen it before, what happens hear? Zero cash for us, but the Optus bill goes up to cover this pay out to lawyers and a few who could afford them. Same as the mob who are suing Coles. Pays lawyers and a few and we all pay the price in the new prices, not Optus or Coles

  @MichaelRuyg i had to get starlink service for power outages to maintain some ability to contact emergency services if needed. i have backup power. mad not to in a bushfire and flood prone area, sadly nbn co, optus, vodafone and telstra are clearly incompetent.

  @jnj_pro Sorry to hear that you're having these ongoing issues with the app and need to log in multiple times. Can you please ensure both the app and your device have been updated to the latest available software? We also recommend enabling biometrics in the My Optus App, so you don't need to keep re-entering codes. Please send us a DM if you are still needing assistance. - Joel
