    @TheSportsFreak @OptusStadium That’s really poor still think all test should be played in school holidays I did agree with your point about the WACA the only tests that should be played at Optus are Ashes and India They probably should have given perth a South African tests given the expat population

  • Team_LiLy MissLiLy (@Team_LiLy) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    hey @newscomauHQ saw your article on @Optus about their incompetency and the hecking! They told me I wasn’t hacked and then a month later told me I was! Being trying to find a resolution and they are useless. Reach out if you want the story!

  • EthicalAdviser Steve Putt (@EthicalAdviser) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus @glendat45 My house burnt down 14 months ago and they charged me for not returning the fetch box. That burnt along with it. Impossible to get any service from them. Hope it gets sorted out soon for you.

  • ShaneAusKiwi Shane Harris (@ShaneAusKiwi) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    This is the year I cancel everything. Foxtel's gone. Uber's gone. Doordash gone. Optus gone.

  • 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.

  • MattIsNE1 Matt (@MattIsNE1) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @TGUZ72 @Optus That’s one thing about hiring people to provide front line support when they are not adequately equipped to work through issues. Sometimes that will result in someone letting out more information than they should.

  • StephenABeckett Stephen Beckett (@StephenABeckett) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus trying to change my voicemail message to say I’m on leave. Apparently my phone number is invalid. Pls help

  • phocks Joshua Byrd (@phocks) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    tbh private health insurance shouldn't even exist (neither should private telecommunications - looking at you optus) and should be shut down immediately as they've proven they can't be trusted with our data, but that's another story /rant over

  • EthicalAdviser Steve Putt (@EthicalAdviser) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Hi @Optus just got this message about ‘not returning my fetch box’. I have told you repeatedly over the last 12 months that my house burnt down and there is no fetch box. I have begged to speak with a real person with no luck. I’ll need confirmation by the end of the

  • JamesCridland James Cridland (@JamesCridland) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Yeahbutnaahh @Optus Optus informed me last week that my Australian passport number has been compromised. Narrator: James didn't have an Australian passport when he was an Optus customer. He is confused.

  • twasink Robert Watkins (@twasink) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @haruki_zaemon @Optus I’ll try again when I upgrade my phone (which arrives in a couple of weeks). That will include shifting to a new 5G plan, which will hopefully fix the weirdness.

  • MattIsNE1 Matt (@MattIsNE1) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @TGUZ72 @Optus Well I have evidence as per screenshot and chat history that there is an issue which @Optus know about and they will compensate for number of days we are without service.

  • EthicalAdviser Steve Putt (@EthicalAdviser) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    The Optus fellow told me to DM me the problem and give him ‘as much info as possible’. Hoo boy, he’s asking for it.

  • EthicalAdviser Steve Putt (@EthicalAdviser) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Hello again @Optus . I have been on the chat service 1 hr and 45 minutes and this is the most recent message ‘As per checked, there was a usage on it. May I know if this happened to one place? Or to other places?’ Do you deliberately make it difficult to solve problems?

  • Willow07935405 Willow (@Willow07935405) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Anthony_Klan They are id##ts I got a letter today but it was addressed to my house but with someone else’s name, I’ve lived at this address for 32 years and have been a optus customer since then 😳

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

    @AnitaHeiss @Optus I’ve had two emails confirming my data had been breached even though I haven’t been a customer since 2005

  • EthicalAdviser Steve Putt (@EthicalAdviser) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    After telling the optus chat line that my house had burned down and that I had tried repeatedly to get the nbn cancelled (which I am still paying for), she asked me, and I kid you not, if I had tried turning it off and turning it back on again. I…I don’t know how to answer.

  • shoppe52 Stephen Hope (@shoppe52) reported

    @abcnews you might want to ask Optus what caused many of it’s mobile broadband customers to receive SMS’s yesterday advising they had received a request to put their service ‘on hold’. Had mine turned off but hadn’t requested it. They restored it after I contacted them but WTAF?

  • bryanvi57988700 adiggersson (@bryanvi57988700) reported

  • ar_tr_lm A L (@ar_tr_lm) reported

    @Optus I have been having issues activating my service for the last 48 hours. I was advised that it will be resolved yesterday and it still isn’t. Live Chat was not helpful. Going into the store was worse. Phone support on hold forever!

  • TracyBsays Tracy (@TracyBsays) reported

    @_pcttt @amaysimAU @Optus Do the outage check that Optus replied to my tweet with. Seems they are doing some work to towers around me. Could be the same for you

  • Bluestocking_a 😈😈😈😈 Profanity Jane (@Bluestocking_a) reported

    Btw I’ve been on the @Optus chat now for more than 30 minutes and still no explanation. Just that they’ll email whoever was supposed to call. I arranged a call back because they had delays and only had late night availability to deal with my issue and I needed to sleep.

  • Bluestocking_a 😈😈😈😈 Profanity Jane (@Bluestocking_a) reported

    @optus Whoever Robert in your sales team might be, he needs some training on how to engage customers without escalating them via your messaging service.

  • aurorastormG3 🥶 polar bear 🦋 build love 🌈 🇺🇦 🏳️‍⚧️ (@aurorastormG3) reported

    @Optus May be? For half the morning I only had 3G coverage. I have an issue with your service. I have 3 more days to find out if your team has managed to resolve the problems. Delays in receiving text msgs. Missed calls. Extremely slow internet access. Not impressed

  • Oztronomer John 🦚. 🔭🪐🇮🇹🎣🚣‍♂️ (@Oztronomer) reported

    @BoganWazza @Telstra @Optus I’m with Optus and have been since 1994 never had an issue this Telstra issue is my sister-in-laws phone

    @Optus hello ! I have no phone line in my business in a Heidelberg West 3081 ! Is there an issue ?

  • WordsByTay_ Tay Tay 💀 (@WordsByTay_) reported

    No service at all thanks to @Optus. It’s not like I live in the middle of nowhere? TELL ME WHY I ONLY HAVE 3G? What a joke.
