    Wtf is a try guy and no I won't google it, I don't wanna be embarrassed in front of the Optus Hacker.

    @cameronwilson Also v handy for checking “does X network actually provide service where I’m at /. Work or live?” Without having to sign a contract or >1 month typically. Where I’m at in aus Telstra and Vodafone seem to be the best combo, Optus just does NOT work. At all, YMMV etc

    @Optus I received your email saying my license and passport was given as part of your breach. No further comms. Your website says I should have received a sms that was sent to all that has had their ID docs leaked. Silence! Been an Optus customer for 17 years. Not much longer

    The Barefoot Nurse (@Barefootnurse1) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    When Optus was hacked, state governments were quick to offer support for victims with new ID, nothing for Medibank customers. Why the difference in response? The support from Medibank at this point has been pathetic. #thedrum

    It’s the “Dear Justin” to “Dear Customer” for me. This really looks like a suss email that is doing Optus zero favours. #OptusHack #OptusDataBreach #Optus

    @OccupyMyGov Optus is already a pejorative here at Our House “oh no my phone has gone all optus’y” @infinitereality hopefully an actual isP or someone who can deploy a real network can take over once ACCC are done. False “5G” and “internet” ads 🤥 LYINN.

    In 6 months I will have paid off my iPhone, never again will I pay off a mobile phone. I could have bought two android phones for us with the amount of money I gave Optus over the 3 years this September for my iPhone that I’m playing off.

  • julieptorres21

    @Optus The fault persists for more than 2 hours in the NBN service.

  • enespana1
    enespana (@enespana1) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @Asher_Wolf @Bredgens @wheelswordsmith I msg Optus on their help platform - they have automated message saying there is delay in responding. Then they message 15min later repeating question and asking to confirm. Then they close the conversation when I don’t respond within a couple of minutes. Happened 2x already🙄

    Hey @Optus! There has been an #NBN service fault for the last 2 days.. Any chance you might know when it will be resolved?

    @saltyskin_ Yeh I got it. Haven’t been an Optus customer in about 10 years.

    Story 7: Teenager convicted trying to defraud victims of Optus earlier data breach. Story 8 father of 11 gunned down Noble Park. 5 months on murder weapon not found. Story 9: Incorrect reporting that #MidTerms22 start tomorrow. They start in around 2 hrs in NY. Promotion of Biden

    @MishStephenson Putting it simply, Optus are paying them a salary to help sell mobile phones.

    Hey @Optus can you lot sort out your reception issues? Apparently you’ve been working on towers in my area since Dec 16, and I can’t make a bloody call. They can’t hear me, or I sound like a robot, or calls fail. I’ve restarted my phone, reset network settings and nada. One bar.

  • RudiEdsall
    Rudi Edsall (@RudiEdsall) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    I may have had all my personal data stolen being an Optus customer, but at least I get one bar of 4G reception in a cafe in Brunswick

  • kapokmeatant
    Gerry Atrick (@kapokmeatant) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    So I left Optus and now I can’t pay my handset balance until I go into arrears, apparently. Called them. Chatted them. Same answer. ****** my personal info, now **** my credit. Never again hey.

    @Janskie798 @Optus Pfffttttttt why are you EVEN BOTHERING??!! The only way to reclaim your rights is to storm into one of their stores AND YOU DO NOT LEAVE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!!! THEY ARE THE BIGGEST FLOG AND CAN’T LIE FOR ****!!! This all began 3 months ago!!!

    @cokeefe9 @Raf_Epstein @9NewsAUS They can do whatever they want, if I anybody is hacked it’s insurance issue between the bank and Optus

    @WestCoastEagles so Milan derby at Optus. In what part of the oval are they going to situate the rather tiny pitch? And are they erecting seating on a surface that's already having problems?

  • Hugh_96
    Hugh_96 (@Hugh_96) reported

    @susanmandrews RA seems to be taking quite a unique approach to the women’s rugby program. We have all been through it. Unless it is a significant issue which requires an apology eg Optus/Telstra outages, just put out a holding statement & some spin. RA is lucky not much media interest in rugby

    @tonyward116 @Batman2242 Optus was probably down again.

    @james00000001 Interesting to see if they were Optus phones that didn’t receive the message - wouldn’t be surprised Optus is so ****

  • Uberstooks
    Amber | Uber The Yurr (@Uberstooks) reported

    Imagine cancelling a family plan & replacing it with another service, funnily enough which costs more. Customers needs aren’t changing, your greed is. @Optus, this is appalling & just outright greedy. I will be taking my business elsewhere, along with future required services.

    @Possum2412 @Batman2242 I got it on my telstra service, but wife didn't on her Optus service ?

  • sueytweets
    Suey (@sueytweets) reported

    @Candour100 @blu_boys @Optus I can confirm this is great! I use it for personal & work I only pay $300 a year upfront per plan so it works out at $25 a month & I never run out of data or calls

  • exRSaddict
    Lister (@exRSaddict) reported

    @IanBatchelor11 @australian i worked for origin this exact issue was raised as an issue my manager ( who was at Optus when they had the databreach) said it wasn't an issue

    @Optus It could take a couple of days for the problem to be fixed
