  • ShaneNatalie Shane N. Thompson (@ShaneNatalie) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @Optus hello, I received spam email this week claiming to be Optus & confirming that I had increased my laptop data usage with Optus. I never increased my data usage. Can you now confirm with me that my laptop/mobile plan hasn’t been changed? Thanks.

  • ajhill_alan Alan Hill (@ajhill_alan) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @perthovalman @kevinperry @TheWorldGame @SBS @ALeague @premierleague @Craig_Foster @LucyZelic A cash-strapped FTA network does its best but has no hope of competing with Foxtel (itself scaling back football coverage in the face of its own financial woes) and Optus. I'd blame the government before pointing a finger at SBS.

  • siobhan_curran Siobhan Curran (@siobhan_curran) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    As an @optus customer I haven’t received any correspondence regarding the data breach and have no idea if my data has been compromised.

  • nickintheworld Nick Williams (@nickintheworld) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @a_choros **** Telstra, marry Vodafone, kill Optus... Truth be told I’d prefer to kill Telstra while screaming **** you and have an ongoing FWB with Vodafone and just leave Optus alone

  • MansfieldOwen Owen Mansfield (@MansfieldOwen) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Worst service I’ve ever recommend. Have been trying to connect NBN. No one in your call centres seem to know what to do.

  • michaelread1 Michael (@michaelread1) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    My name isn’t Andrew. But thanks to @optus I have access to his full name, home address, email address, passwords, contact number, credit card details and other random bits of information. My situation isn’t solved, and now if I was a bad guy, Andrew’s would have been ruined.

  • carolduncan Carol Duncan (@carolduncan) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @joshgnosis I’e tweeted Optus for help/advice, tried online chat twice … nothing.

  • KitaandMat Mat and Kita Clarke (@KitaandMat) reported from Maitland, State of New South Wales

    @OeterB @Fozbyte That's what I did! I'm an optus customer so it's included in my plan.

  • SophiePearse Sophie Pearse (@SophiePearse) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    I’ve phoned @Optus customer service 3 days in a row and you’ve YET to rectify this issue, despite advising you have. This is incredibly poor form, deplorable in fact 😡

  • michaelread1 Michael (@michaelread1) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @optus can’t call me and I can’t call them because I don’t have either a business or a personal line. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise. Do we have any options that don’t leak peoples private data to randoms in Australia? How absolutely incompetent and stupid.

  • gjblue Greg Blue (@gjblue) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @Hillysfarms @Telstra I reckon telstra coverage in metro areas is third after optus and Vodafone, its terrible here in Newcastle

  • ReetuMutti Reetu Mutti (@ReetuMutti) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    .@TPG_Telecom Trying to port my TPG no from TPG’s Optus to Vodaphone network. Spent countless hrs calling helpdesk every day, talked to supervisiors, waited days for engineers to investigate. Been waiting 20 DAYS, still not working. This is ridiculous. Fix this!!

  • ozziewiltshire Oz. Pro Choice! (@ozziewiltshire) reported from Raymond Terrace, State of New South Wales

    @madameshawshank @PringPhillip Love is blind... and stupid evidently. Career straight down the **** chute, although I high paying gig at optus is 2nd best I suppose.

  • michaelread1 Michael (@michaelread1) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    Optus then decided after over 90 mins of explaining myself multiple times to different people on chat, I’d need to wait for a call. That call happened, it was from the wrong department. So they had to transfer me. After 2 hours I got some help. “So what can we do today?” 🤯

  • carlagrossetti @carlagrossetti (@carlagrossetti) reported from Maitland, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Thanks Nard. What causes an outage that only affects webmail?

  • tmacca_1996 Thomas McKenna (@tmacca_1996) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @Optus @7mate take your ads off appearing as every second one! I will never use your service due to this. Biggest pet peeve, waste of money on your marketing side #idiots #advertising

    @tchbastard I'll be leaving after 20+ years as an @Optus customer.

  • drobwlldiad 💧Emily 🇦🇺🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🔥💚✳️✳️🎀🐀 (@drobwlldiad) reported

    @lynnemurphy1 @Optus We have cheap internet and mobile pay as you go thingies with Kogan who get it through Vodafone. I’d never go back to Telstra if I could possibly help it but many rural Tasmanians have no choice

  • lassie_welsh Hon.Taffy fool 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@lassie_welsh) reported

    @JaiRitter3 @ToMyPirateShip I have had pretty good customer service with Optus , can’t really complain

  • mickgoodwill mgII (@mickgoodwill) reported

    @dailytelegraph Looks like I’ll be cancelling all Optus services #Optus #singtel - never understand why corrupt one’s get senior positions with high salary packages!!!!

  • DellHol00654443 Dell Holmes (@DellHol00654443) reported

    @erob_po @friendlyjordies It's hilarious how quickly people can be influenced... You're already calling Optus an inferior service because of Jordan

  • sobersafe kimwithani (@sobersafe) reported

    @thespecialbka @Optus I thinking about changing service providers but couldn’t be arsed. I’ve suddenly found fresh motivation. Bye @Optus

  • Duck_downunder @duckunder (@Duck_downunder) reported

    @marquelawyers After having dealt with Optus' incompetence these past 2 weeks, bounced several times between departments and still no resolution of their own error...she'll fit right in

  • tweets3rdeye Sandy Watson (@tweets3rdeye) reported

    @GaryFallon2 @Optus Optus employs a Senior Executive that does not even follow basic levels of due diligence, a basic requirement for any Executive Manager- in case you forgot Optus, it is called Records Management. In the future when a customer is told their records cannot be found.....

  • MichaelaBenne Michaela (@MichaelaBenne) reported

    @friendlyjordies @Optus Poor form appointing an ex-premier who’s being investigated for corruption by ICAC. #LeavingOptus

  • BrianWright63 Brian Wright. He/Him (@BrianWright63) reported

    @Optus NBN, as your website clearly states in the network status tracker. Oh, and it's died yet again.
