    @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.

    Hey OPTUS, My NBN line was cut 2 weeks ago, a technician from OPTUS came, checked our house, and put a call into NBN, still waiting for the line to be fixed, no landline, NOT happy #Optus, even phone calls to the service center says the matter is resolved. I am moving.

    @PeterWMurphy1 @abcnews And this is why there is a #OptusDataBreach? But also #Optus should be investigated for breaches as I was emailed another customer account and their attitude was who cares. @OAICgov #auspol

  • John_Michaels1 John (@John_Michaels1) reported

    @HullKiwi @dailytelegraph The real issue is the maximum financial penalty for Optus failing to protect peoples data is far less than the cost of keeping it safe.

  • ACapitalFoot Andrew Foot (@ACapitalFoot) reported

    Everyone piling on Optus atm. And for sure this is a disaster for many. But I've never been in an organisation where human error did not lead to sensitive data being exposed. Maybe just an email sent to the wrong person. Maybe something bigger. Unfortunately human error remains

    @MAUREENALLDER Yep ... my Optus network slows mine down sometimes

  • jxlawler Julie Lawler💉x4 😷 #VoteYes (@jxlawler) reported

    @iDGiam @soils1111 That’s true. Optus breach victims cannot get licence replaced online due to the dept having to issue a new number. Plus, if someone dodgy has your licence number it could be that person applying on line for your shiny new licence to go to their address. 🙏 thank you to the staff

  • JPereira1974 Justin Pereira™ 🇦🇺 (@JPereira1974) reported

    I have been an @Optus customer for over 20 years. I have signed numerous new phone contracts during this time and have been required to produce photo identification every time to initiate those new contracts.

  • ian_g_blackers Ian Blackley 🎧 (@ian_g_blackers) reported

    Didn’t think I’d see a brand in Australia do more damage to itself than #Qantas this year. #Optus, #holdmybeer.

  • dwightwalker Dwight Walker (@dwightwalker) reported

    so @optus will fight to not pay any compensation for 2.8M with #databreach identity compromise so they don't close down but courts may decide to close them when they declare bankruptcy

    @PeterTOWNSV1LLE @PCKJ3627 I've been with Telstra for 30 years and have never provided the information that Optus has on customers. I'd hope that is the case for newer customers.
