@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.

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.

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?” 🤯

@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.

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

@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.

@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

@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.

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 😡

.@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!!

@optus_help @foxgobrr @Optus I have been getting extra charges for using Optus data (which I am not using). I called on phone and online but your customer service people appear too simple minded to understand that I DO NOT USE OPTUS DATA! I watch Optus sports using data from another provider.

@alfi589 @gavin_laing Why? Presuming there’s an element of customer transfer from Optus baked into the deal (promo offers etc) they’ll do it easily. Not to mention the far more attractive proposition of one-stop shop for EPL and UCL. If they add 500k customers that’s $210m in annual revenue.

@TicsVitsJacThic Worst we had was one of my wives super funds (had 2 not rolled over yet) wanted the original marriage certificate sent to them in the post, wouldn't accept a certified copy where pretty much everyone else did and should...ridiculous. Hope Optus is your last difficult one...

consider my shock when ******* Optus of all places are making changing my name on my account so ******* painful. Service NSW? Breezy. ATO? Effortless. AEC? Not a worry. But Optus? They need your certificate, physical ID for both names, a vile of blood and my first born

Dolphins vs Knights in Perth drew a crowd of 10,000. Small in Rugby League terms, but this is after a double header at Optus and a sold out State of Origin match. Maybe there is more support for NRL in WA than we think… #NRL #nrldolphinsknights

@GuyFawkesRetro I remember Cartoon Network on Optus Vision back in the mid to late 90s. So many Hanna Barbera classics played on there. The Cartoon Network originals were fine, but I enjoyed the Flintstones, Jetsons & Tom & Jerry more.
