  • iB3nji Ben (@iB3nji) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra_news “Telstra operate the nation’s only 5G network”. I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure @Optus has 5G too.

  • petenowakowski Pete Nowakowski (@petenowakowski) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @DanielNigro76 Yep. Parents house connected to Optus network.

  • iB3nji Ben (@iB3nji) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @mrdanielfeo @Optus @Telstra Agree, 1.5Mbps is terrible.

  • cambuslangtrain John Roach (@cambuslangtrain) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @LesStonehouse Faithful to Telstra for 40 years despite our blind loyalty not being reciprocated in quality of service or pricing. Switched to Optus at NBN connection time some years back. Could not be happier with Optus!! Stuff Telstra "and all who ro(r)t in her!!"

  • petenowakowski Pete Nowakowski (@petenowakowski) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @kirstinferguson @Optus My parents and I on Optus network. Mum got the txt, dad and I didn't.

  • iB3nji Ben (@iB3nji) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @blake_andersson @Telstra @Optus Go Boost Mobile! I’m with them. Same Telstra network, unlimited Apple Music, more data for less. Pre-paid.

  • CavillJyckel Jyckel C (@CavillJyckel) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @EdKent77 @Optus So hard to support from a distance, particularly when she’s distressed already.

  • baradhili PICSI.co (@baradhili) reported

    @bugwannostra @Optus and I'm yet to learn if my info is at risk... or even if they are investigating .... @Optus what is your comms team doing? I know your cyber team is flat out - but can you help?

  • thatmdee Em D (@thatmdee) reported

    The Optus debacle shows it's only fair I rebrand myself as a 'sophisticated cyber attacker' when I fix up my own whoopsies

  • AlexDGlengarry Alex McDonnel (@AlexDGlengarry) reported

    @nineislands There is really only 2 providers - Telstra or Optus as they are the only companies who have network infrastructure. The small retailers use one or the other, name your poison!

  • Rob_Smithers Robert Smithers (@Rob_Smithers) reported

    @GilliantheGP This could end up being the largest class action lawsuit in Australian history, the scale of the damages from this event is almost limitless, it would behove Optus to spend a lot of money right now to do damage control

  • CommBank CommBank (@CommBank) reported

    We are constantly monitoring for any customer information associated with data-breaches, including the most recent Optus breach. Our intelligence monitoring systems run 24/7/365, allowing us to identify at-risk customers prior to an attack.

  • teigra_1 Tahlia Rose (@teigra_1) reported

    @nineislands I switched to Voda years ago. Excellent coverage. Where I live Optus is non existent & Telstra drops out. Good prepaid with heaps of data.. $40/month free talk & txt+ heaps of data. Is the only internet I have.Have travelled up to Qld & over to SA with no problems

  • ArchyJaneF JaneEvil (@ArchyJaneF) reported

    @StevenGeorgant1 @AlanBixter Maybe partner companies that use the Optus network. My phone provider uses this network, but I never had to provide passport or driving licence details for that, so hopefully not compromised.

  • potatobake28 Cake not chicken (@potatobake28) reported

    @ken_killcare @agarner This sounds like fun of the mill scam. But I’d recommend people use an ID tracking service especially if they’ve been (or are) an Optus customer.

  • jr_p30 The silent investor (@jr_p30) reported

    @Optus @rico_wallaby Individually contacting means a shorty generic text msg! Your service and care is pathetic

  • IrinaAsanova1 Irina Asanova (@IrinaAsanova1) reported

    @smudge_green @Optus This is what I can’t understand. If someone steals (or commits fraud on) my credit card, I simply call my bank & they cancel my credit card and issue me with a new one. Why can’t Optus do this with phone numbers?
