  @Optus wtf with your tech support line. No call back option, not even an estimated wait time. I have been disconnected 3 times in the last two days after a cumulative waiting of 136 minutes. #worstcustomerserviceever

  Optus privacy breach hits 51k White Pages cases; architecture takeaway: enforce zero-trust, data minimisation, and robust access controls to reduce blast radius. Align incident response with ACSC guidance and SOCI Act obligations. #auscyber

  @TaniaLe89811601 @realRick_AUS @SenstiveHearts I'm near the airport, very strong winds but a few planes still taking off. Wondering if they will cancel the Eagles game at Optus?

  Also, fix your inferior network @Optus. But knowing them, blame the end user. One whole hour and no connection.

  Telstra MVNOs ████████████ (higher cost) Optus MVNOs ██████░░░░░░ (mid-range) Vodafone MVNOs ████░░░░░░░░ (cheapest) Conclusion: We pay more because only one network actually works.

  @enz2g @1WeakGuttedDog Your gaslighting is terrible. I’ve not seen a single complaint about Boost. The list is endless for Vodaphone and Optus. Hell, Optus is in the news today for another outage. As the saying goes, it seems you will die on the hill than admit you are wrong.

  @hakluke About 20 years ago I was with Optus, and back then if you were late paying your bill Optus would disconnect your SIM so you couldn't even receive calls. To get it connected again you'd have to ring Optus and they'd tell you it would be back on within 4 hours. That never happened, so you'd have to ring them over and over again until it eventually got done. After wiaitng for over a week for my phone to be put back on and again being told it would be back on within 4 hours, I said "no, I'll wait on the phone with you until it's done. He then passed me to another team who enabled my SIM again while I was talking to him. Anyway, that night I noticed that when my Dad who has a private number rang me, it showed his phone number with a hash tag before and after the number. This happened with every private number and I realised that when my SIM was turned back on, something went wrong and I was able to see private numbers. It was the greatest thing ever! I would get telemarketers all the time who would abuse me when I'd tell them to stop ringing me, but now I had their number to call back. You should have heard how shocked the first one was when I rang him. I kept ringing him and he begged me to stop and kept asking "How did you get this number? I don't even know this number". That ended when that phone was stolen 2 years later, but it was great while it lasted. I've since had Optus tech employees in our pubs and ask them if they can do it, and they tell me that it's impossible, but I know it's not.
