  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

    @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.

    @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

  • 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 😡

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!!

    To @Optus FYI iv had zero reception since February this year. My area has no reception towers it’s been a. Delayed project for the past 9 months with continues lies from tech support. Iv only been given 2 options.

  • Mainterrio Jumbled Beats 🇦🇺 🥁 (@Mainterrio) reported

    @NRLonNine Maybe because Optus has better service than him... That's saying something

  • ImaMalaca Thaddeus (@ImaMalaca) reported

    @PaulMeekPerth @slsandpet @Optus opened the flood gates to Australia’s poor IT practices.

  • Jugeyfruits Juge (@Jugeyfruits) reported

    @AngelaMBarra @Optus Give Aussie broadband a look, they've been superb for me. Fantastic customer service and no issues with anything! If you do, use this referal code to get $50 credit: 7979438.

  • camclare Cameron Clare (@camclare) reported

    @asz_tee I was with #Medibank, #Optus (years ago too) and worked at Telstra 20 years ago. Your #Telstra employee codes (charlie/delta) are unique to the employee and never change. They're looking for anomalies with licence no's, employee no's, phone no's etc.

    IM IN THE CITY HOW TF DO I HAVE NO SERVICE WTAF OPTUS

  • MrsMisunderst3 Mrs Misunderstood (@MrsMisunderst3) reported

    @jaynelshannon @ClareONeilMP @TheTodayShow This mob have done nothing but force agendas we weren’t told about before the Election. They’re sending small business to the wall, ripping funding out of Regional Aus & closing down agriculture. She’d done nothing until Optus/Medibank. The Fed Police haven’t done their job.

    @ClareONeilMP Medibank’s cyber incident even Optus one ,should be concerned about national security issues now under labor government! Labor party government should have responded for Australian!

  • Futurhythm Dylan Cheung (@Futurhythm) reported

    @sameytram This kind of **** is what keeps me up at night since the Optus and Medibank hacks
