  • pwilkins10 Paul 💉💉💉 (@pwilkins10) reported from Torquay, State of Victoria

    At least if Leeds get relegated, I can cancel my Optus Sports subscription & watch the Championship on BeIn.

  • cmplus_info Cory (@cmplus_info) reported from Geelong, State of Victoria

    @3AWNeilMitchell scare mongering again on the @Optus data breach. Mitchell needs to be part of the solution and not the problem. Although it’s a nice reprieve from the constant @DanielAndrewsMP bashing.

  • david_obrien David O'Brien (he/him) (@david_obrien) reported from Geelong, State of Victoria

    If there's one silver lining after the recent Optus and Medibank hacks here in AU, then it's the fact that orgs seem to finally be putting a focus onto their security from the top down. Today I had another great workshop with a new customer to assess their overall #cloudsecurity.

    If the .@Optus network wasn’t so bad and .@VodafoneAU wasn’t ridiculously panicked as to whether I can pay (because they made it clear they think I don’t make enough money), I’d be looking for a better network.

    @Optus Hi Aman, I appreciate that but I was told that before when I was promised multiple phone calls that never eventuated. Never mind the FTTN service we are getting drops out constantly and isn’t as reliable as the previous DSL service at my old address.

  • H_the_Cats_Fan MsH (@H_the_Cats_Fan) reported from Geelong, State of Victoria

    @kaine177 Optus oval was built closer to MCG dimensions … that would play a part, but yes if you think back, they didn’t play well in the hubs last year either. It’s a shame … No Gaff doesn’t help … and our weather is shite compared to over there. It’s proper winter footy.

  • mr_calabria tino mamone (@mr_calabria) reported from Geelong, State of Victoria

  • cmalietoabrown Christian Malietoa-Brown (@cmalietoabrown) reported from Geelong, State of Victoria

    Optus has to have the most **** signal coverage in the whole world

  • camo2572 💧Darren Camilleri (@camo2572) reported from Geelong, State of Victoria

    love @gilly381 but for Gilly to jump up and down and say MCG shouldnt have a guaranteed Boxing Day test in favour for his Optus Stadium in Perth yeah um Gilly half of all Kiwis live in WA for the mining jobs and yet you cant even fill up a day 1 1st test in a ANZAC clash #AUSvNZ

  • LeahZBurgess Whynotaye (@LeahZBurgess) reported

    Hey @Telstra how come I need to get an optus sim to access internet after nsw floods? Days afterwards and still no internet/reception. Hampering efforts to help. Diabolical.

  • AngelaMBarra Angela Barra (@AngelaMBarra) reported

    @Optus Hi Zac. No thanks. Not taking it off line. Hubby on the phone again. I can't tell you how many times now. New Fetch box arrived without the activation code! Ongoing misinformation. Someone has to tidy the customer service end up. Not any 1 individual persons fault: systemic.

  • elsebeatebright EB (@elsebeatebright) reported

    @Optus #optus has no customer service! New phone doesn’t work and they won’t swap it in store - area manager’s rules that don’t consider customer inconvenience! #optusisrubbish has rubbish service.

  • llewcom Llewellyn Comms (@llewcom) reported

    @Telstra @iSub Given i have no internet and can't get to the website, this isn't much help unfortunately. Have patchy Optus signal.

  • formallypedro Donkey Ote (@formallypedro) reported

    @Optus @Dan_Nolan_1 Hey Optus how about you get your assistance ph staff to actually help. Shop staff are worse. I made a 120 kilometre round trip to an Optus shop because ph assistance was hopeless only to be told I should ph in my problem. Shop staff actually recommended I not use Optus email.

  • domsullivan18 Dom Sullivan (@domsullivan18) reported

    anybody with optus having trouble with reception & data today?

  • webboy42 🐕 Paul 🦄 (@webboy42) reported

    Good morning. We’re sorry you can’t access unlimited data on the NBN, and that our mobile network in your area is so crappy that it drains your battery faster than an alcoholic at closing time, but we’re gonna charge you an extra $10 for a measly gigabyte of data. Love, Optus.

  • KangarooWill 𝓦𝓲𝓵𝓵 (@KangarooWill) reported

    @detispify 15.3.1 not beta Just wanted to see if it was a common issue before testing every possible issue haha I’ve cleared website data, restarted and reset phone as well as network settings. Happens on both Vodafone 4G and Optus NBN It’s a Safari issue no doubt

  • AngelaMBarra Angela Barra (@AngelaMBarra) reported

    @Optus @kbrspace this is hubby @SwillNation I'm unable to sustain this with any grace. Out mobile data is not working properly for us. This is quite serious!

  • ajl247 Aaron Eugol (@ajl247) reported

    Heads up to Optus mobile customers - if you send an SMS to someone who uses a different mobile network (Telstra / Boost etc.) and you don't receive a reply, there is a very good chance they never received the message.
