  Why is the @Optus tech support service getting worse?

  @SammySatine As an Optus customer I am worried .. but I can change passwords and cancel things if I must and put blocks on all things

  I think better wording is needed for the #optus incident. My understanding is that it wasn’t a hack, it wasn’t a breach, nor an attack & that the data was leaked through incompetence. I’m still reading articles about it mentioning terms such as “firewall” in ways implying a hack.

  @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

  @nicenuts @Itsrustyruss @Optus I can just imagine Deborah and Alan Boomer going in there and losing their **** at the poor staff who had zero to do with it. I feel sorry for the workers in retail. Retail is already a **** job, then you have this on top of it.

  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

  @abcnews Patterson reckons companies make errors? This is unadulterated negligence. @Optus has failed in their *legal* responsibility to keep their customers’ data safe. APP11. Penny pinching on security while dishing it out for incompetent executives is a recipe for disaster.

  @Telstra @Optus @amaysimAU Yeah seems like your whole network is down across Melbourne at least just went to the shops they couldn’t use 5G 4G anything but Nbn seems okay sort of I mean for Nbn in the city yeah it’s out of the usual expected level of a yes. My mum always said.

  @Amata_georgeii @Optus Yeah I’m gonna try reissue my DL number and cancel my Passport so they don’t connect to anything. Other than that it’s a mess

  @OptusSport I’ve been trying for weeks to contact you regarding my subscription - calls don’t work as their Optus not Optus Sport (found annoying after 2 1 hour calls) & I’ve raised 3 cases now - 2 of which closed without resolution & 1 is pending open for days now! Please help!

  I'm sick of @Optus company. Several incidents of overcharging me and making multiple mistakes + slow customer service ( it takes hours for them to respond and a month to get an issue fixed) + Internet keeps cutting. I should have left them years ago!

  C (@coryidau) reported 5 minutes ago

  Just tried to call @VodafoneAU to find out why my SIM card flicked between No Service and SOS and intermittently on 5G. I tried to call and it from an Optus network phone and the message, "Optus wishes to advise that the number you have called is not connected". That number, the Vodafone Australia 1300 number

  @whoisDarkPrince Man I hope we can make it to Kyoto. I felt like such an idiot without mobile internet but just assumed Optus would work there. The culture is Japan is just so much better than the West!!!

  @DevMohali @Ausbobsmit I have met some really nice Indians, and I have met some that want to rip us off every chance they get. I will never again deal with an Indian or a Pakistani in telecommunications. I’m not sure but I think Telstra and Optus are a bit gun-shy well.

  Stewie (@stewiexgreen) reported 8 minutes ago

  @Optus My current internet sometimes struggles to stream video. Giving me worse internet for cheaper doesn’t sound like a great solution.

  Telstra....missed your recharge message because the service has been so fuckung bad for weeks that people's personal SOS devices haven't been working. Have been hotspotting with Optus device.

  @adampaps How many home games down there vs. up the highway at Optus? Half half? All in Bunbury? I sense WA3 for the 20th team is a huge go, but the Bunbury market as a home base, convince me…
