  • KoparaFallsKid 💧Robyn D💦 (@KoparaFallsKid) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @SydneySwitch I can't change that, Optus are in charge of their infrastructure arrangements, not me! The test just tells me Optus are using a Telstra server in the provision of their service to me.

  • msg621 Mark G (@msg621) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus just wondering if there is a status update on my internet connection issue

  • msg621 Mark G (@msg621) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    still no internet - how long do I have to wait for @Optus to sort it’s operation out. After feeling pushed to switch to nbn within a few months rather than the allowed 18 months, a stuff up with connection dates and now no internet. Rubbish effort Optus. Truly awful

  • G1NCHY g1nchy 🦐 (@G1NCHY) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Kogan @Optus Have been an Optus customer since August 1999. Time to give Kogan a go. 😁

  • DynamicDusa Dusa Shah (@DynamicDusa) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Thanks @Optus after messing up my address on a NBN order I'm waiting over 3 hours to get through to someone to get the address fixed. Funnily enough they can't see what the problem is!!

  • kelvin_yli 靚仔小圓 (@kelvin_yli) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Very bad signal on train track from Southland Station towards City direction, my girlfriend can’t make WeChat Call and I can’t play PokémonGo. It never happened before to us. @Optus

  • warnie1aus 💧Stephen Hetherington (@warnie1aus) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Hey @Optus trying to transfer to nbn on pc but your chat is not working

  • walkerhell Walker (@walkerhell) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus criminally overcharge for a service you can get, at a fraction of the price elsewhere. Will forever warn people against Optus.

  • Evan__Gale Evan Gale (@Evan__Gale) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus Thanks. Checked last night, no planned or unplanned outage. Had 5 hours of zero service.

  • AdrianoDiPrato Adriano Di Prato (@AdrianoDiPrato) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus + 2/3 @optus just chose to send the “stock” to another customer and make me wait longer after the rekeying of the order. Basically they cancelled the original order and simply re-issued a new order with a new delivery address. #OptOUT

  • Pezzamystic1 Pez (@Pezzamystic1) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    I bought a new 4G LTE Modem today, it appears to be providing an enhanced user experience on the @Optus network 🤩

  • eileen_1956 Eileen B Kenny (@eileen_1956) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @MitchRobinson05 Don’t touch the Optus deal. We had 10 weeks of problems, arguments .... and no internet! Go with 200GB Telstra landline/internet deal for $75 pm.

  • msg621 Mark G (@msg621) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    NOT GOOD ENOUGH @Optus. Feeling totally stuffed around by your inability to communicate (ironic) to me as a customer of several years

  • damethelog A’tuin Sneezed (@damethelog) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    3/ two @Optus guys come. Nope, it’s gotta go in here. Come back a week later. No, the folks down the back need it to do work. Well, ya might need a booster. Ok, I’ll pop down and check.

  • yayafarisha7 Nik Nadiya Farisha (@yayafarisha7) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    It's official. Optus is shit

  • notout50 Alex DC (@notout50) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @zachyp35 @Optus I've been having massive issues as well. Sometimes no coverage at all for an hour.

  • EFCcorrespond The Correspondent (@EFCcorrespond) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @NBN_Australia Thanks, Optus have smsd re local outage. Nothing on Twitter, crazy!

  • EFCcorrespond The Correspondent (@EFCcorrespond) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus NBN outage in Thornbury 3071. Dead at my place...

  • AdrianoDiPrato Adriano Di Prato (@AdrianoDiPrato) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    + Hello @Optus, I’ve now returned to Oz and the iPhone still hasn’t arrived. Additionally I was promised that within 5 days someone would contact me regarding my complaint. This hasn’t happened either. Clearly the incompetence previously stated just continues. #OptOUT

  • Wayne02Wayne Wayne Harris (@Wayne02Wayne) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus seems a little odd that I can only get a decent deal with you for a note 10+ if I get a new number. Not the best way to treat a 16yr customer who is still spending $3k per year with you despite everything being out of contract! Time to look around I guess!

  • mellovesmusicau Mel Graham 🤘 (@mellovesmusicau) reported

    @broncook76 I'm not stressed. I'm pissed off. Why ******** did it take so long to send the email? The whole thing is a massive **** up. I'll never be an optus customer again.

  • SeshendraSiva Seshendra Siva (@SeshendraSiva) reported

    @Google Can you please help me recover my emails. Due to Optus hacking saga . Thank you

  • gazz1801 Gary from Bundeena (@gazz1801) reported

    @trevorlong hi trev,what if you are a previous customer of optus like me??havnt heard anything about that situation.take care,gary

  • HollyBrewster95 Holly Brewster (@HollyBrewster95) reported

    @Optus unable to access messaging support via the app or the website for the past 24+ hours.

  • CqrolynW Carolyn Wood (@CqrolynW) reported

    Now #Optus are paying Deloitte to do a “review”! What a load of BS. It will say “it wasn’t us , it was some bad hacker.” Pay the piper and you call the tune.

  • mongrel43 George Fong 💉 💉💉 (@mongrel43) reported

    2/2 We worked for months (voluntarily) with the AG's Dept to help make sense of some bad legislation. Amelioration, not remedy. After the Optus breach, an urgent rethink of the metadata legislation is overdue. This time, listen to the experts. #auspol @VTeagueAus @internetAUS

  • PaulChr30241052 Stumpy (@PaulChr30241052) reported

    I believe my passport expired close to 20 years ago. Surely a cursory check would have revealed that I am still an @Optus customer & how long do these companies hold on to our data in any case?

  • vinnyrussell Marc Russell (@vinnyrussell) reported

    @Optus 4G home internet is as fast as watching paint dry. Always seems to an issue! Always seems to be maintenance… yet always a **** service! 9 Months of have inconsistent service plus having a security breach! #3rdworldservice

  • Azza08870765 Azza (@Azza08870765) reported

    @7NewsAustralia @Optus Wake up Australia. NSW Service and Centrelink have all had multiple cyber security breaches in the last 2 years. The same places that refuse cash purchases. This is no accident. Go digital free!

  • NatalieMarrett Natalie Marrett (@NatalieMarrett) reported

    So apparently a lot of people have been getting a text over the weekend from optus saying what data if theirs has been breached.. I have received nothing. Should I be happy? Worried? Maybe my optus service is so poor, it hasn't been able to come through yet🤔
