.@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 @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

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.

@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.

@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.

@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

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?” 🤯

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 😡

@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.

@karenandrewsmp you were warned numerous times something like this was going to happen yet instead of strengthening laws you watered them down for optus...

@karenandrewsmp Your hypocrisy,gall and the fact it was your government that watered down security requirements for Optus is utterly fvcking shameless.

@saci68 You're begging for help on twitter and you got offered a solution where you only need to input your surname (nothing more). Hundreds of people have already used the site since it went live. Or you could just keep waiting for Optus/the Government. Good luck with that one.

@ephemeralfilm @BreakfastNews How often does that happen though, we honestly are a stupid nation. Optus won't be the last either.

@Optus @RunnerSA18 Optus now trying to save a buck by finding ways to down play the fact that over 10 million people had their ID’s breached but hey don’t worry they only got half of the ID document. What a business model you have. No care for customers just the mighty dollar.

(@Wesley33691142) reported
Optus calling their problem a cyberattack leaves the impression that they are the victim. Crap, leaving the back door open forever then complaing about being robbed is Neglegence. So if you use a company that will not accept responsibility is only your fault. Leave now .

@MarkTregonning We have not been with Optus ever as a direct customer but were with Virgin Mobile to May 2009. Similarly received SMS stating Licence number has been breached. How long do they really need to hold data for? #OptusDataBreach
