  • fanaticeel ScubaSteve (@fanaticeel) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @peter__kay It's truly appalling. And due to present laws passed by the previous govt Optus won't be fined! However that doesn't help what happened. I haven't been with optus since 96.. hmm I should be ok

  • Flansq Bonshaquita’lafondria (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Does anyone else find Optus 5G regularly shows as connected with full service, but no data will transfer? Websites won’t open, apps won’t connect etc?

  • jjee88888 Jeremy Jee (@jjee88888) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @GladysB Optus garbage service is a backwards step for Australia

  • viller Stephen Viller (@viller) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus we've had no home broadband since this morning in Chapel Hill (Qld 4069), with the MyOptus check network status saying there is a problem and it is being investigated. Any news on the outcome of the investigation and when we will have our network and phone working again?

  • lesstenny Politic@l Spinner. (@lesstenny) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Great.. I'm blaming you @Optus our credit card has been compromised three times with dodgy transactions.. My wife now has to get a new card.. Again I say **** you optus, we are so pissed off

  • PagewoodCoach Rubens Camejo (@PagewoodCoach) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Anyone else having issues with Optus' BS new HUB setup?

  • GuyRedRooHaines The RedRoo from Downunder (@GuyRedRooHaines) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus how come if I’m a prepay customer I can select a $20 international roaming data plan with 10gig over 14 days but if I’m on a plan I have to select a $10per day for 1 gig add on? Seems sorta cruddy for your plan based customers.

  • nickshewring nick shewring (@nickshewring) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @JarradLawrence Did the data breach effect only current customers or anyone that’s been a @Optus customer over the years?

  • mairzy3039 💧John Mair QGM (@mairzy3039) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    What the hell are Stefanovic and Canavan on Today talking about? They are saying Gladys is the person to fix Optus. FFS 🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • babybrit babybrit (@babybrit) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @DezMaggs @Optus No contact from them to me either but thanks to @TrendMicro nearly 6,000 spam sms scams have been prevented... I struggle to even have service on certain days and times... it sucks.

  • lucky_rae Rae (@lucky_rae) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus How do you get help resetting you're PASSWORD not interested in virtual assistants either someone human, no help anywhere else

  • Adam_Meyer1 Adam Meyer (@Adam_Meyer1) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus Hi there. Still doesn't work correctly

  • Flansq Bonshaquita’lafondria (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @_marty_k Ugh. No thank you. I haven’t used a SimCard at all since I moved to Optus. When I ported from vids phone on the iPhone 12, I just activated via the app. Same deal with the 14PM. Just had to phone to get them to issue a new eSim to the app (transfer phone to phone didn’t work)

  • barryrutherford Barry Rutherford | Parkrun fan (@barryrutherford) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @ClareONeilMP I haven’t been an Optus customer since 2004 yet I received a letter from the CEO that my Data had been leaked. It’s left me worried.

  • girlondon Kathryn Geels (@girlondon) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @alsotheabyss @LaurenBeldi I felt the same about filling out those forms even before the Optus incident. It really wasn’t very clear how they used the information, how they stored it and where, who had access to it, and how long they keep it.

  • fanaticeel ScubaSteve (@fanaticeel) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @peter__kay I think many will abandon Optus. At least the state governments have agreed to allow people to change their licences however that doesn't help those who used their passports. I hope it doesn't happen but someone could lose a lot of money

  • barryrutherford Barry Rutherford | Parkrun fan (@barryrutherford) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @JanB_QLD @joshgnosis Moreover i have not been a customer for 15 years yet I received a letter from Optus saying it was likely my personal information had been stolen.

  • Flansq Bonshaquita’lafondria (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @_marty_k I dumped Voda for poor 5G coverage and rollout. Optus is still much better in that regard.

  • PKambara PKambara (@PKambara) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    No stream tonight, because @Optus are taking forever with moving my dang service.

  • Matteris :Matt. (@Matteris) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @EVillainess @markrayfield2 @Jeremy_Kirk Better check the ACMA carrier legislation and then the audit requirements. 👍 Optus have failed to maintain customer privacy. Failed to secure the private data AND have failed to protect data IMO this was a deliberate act from cabal to force a cyber security event in the future.

  • kingofdawalkoff The Hound (@kingofdawalkoff) reported

    @Optus hi guys, I can’t recharge my prepaid mobile or another family members prepaid mobile through the app or the website using credit/debit or PayPal. It’s been down for a few hours now. Is the system down?

  • BanFoo_ Ban-Foo Leong (@BanFoo_) reported

    @Optus In the past hour and a half, as requested, I’ve followed your instructions and “power cycled” my Optus NBN modem multiple times. But the connection remains incredibly slow (<< 1Mbps) and intermittent (very frequent dropouts, every few seconds or so). So what next?

  • BigSighZ400 Simon I Caulfield (@BigSighZ400) reported

    @ch3sswarrior Optus 4 sport. Do yourself a favour. It's a hard watch, might as well be liverfool tv. 2 soft pens needed to wake the home support.

  • billydakid04 Billy Escritt (@billydakid04) reported

    @Optus is there an issue with the My Account page? I can't load up anything on the website or the mobile app

  • mvpmadsen Madsen Paunga (@mvpmadsen) reported

    @SydneyCityTV Another good Female VO Artist is Jenny Wilson who used to do the promos for Channel 10 back in the Mid 2000's to Early 2010's. Nowadays she the voice of Optus when you ring up their Customer Service as well as promos for 9Gem.

  • Kutabeee Kutabee (@Kutabeee) reported

    @Optus i understand that you are working on the recharge issue but surely the tech team has given you some kind of update in progress and possible time frame ? We can all read the generic copy and paste response to tweets and would love to hear something else please 🐾

  • Missxstatic Celia (セリア) (@Missxstatic) reported

    @Optus how long before the recharge service is back up and running? It hasn’t been working on the app, telephone or website for the past 5 days.

  • RoussoIsaac WogOriginal (@RoussoIsaac) reported

    @Optus need help with the app keeps saying something went wrong

  • mrphilmercer Phillip Mercer (@mrphilmercer) reported

    @Optus our @NBN_Australia is down AGAIN and your “support” app won’t work because a telecommunications company decided to do upgrades taking them off line in the middle of business hours.

  • alan_in_oz Alan Barlow (@alan_in_oz) reported

    @Optus please explain why you have cancelled my autodebit and expired my prepaid service - you say the autodebit was declined but I checked with my credit card and there is no record of any Optus autodebit. You cant penalise me for your failures.
