  • KitaandMat Mat and Kita Clarke (@KitaandMat) reported from Maitland, State of New South Wales

    @OeterB @Fozbyte That's what I did! I'm an optus customer so it's included in my plan.

  • JKRLMazur 🇦🇺Julian 🇦🇺 (@JKRLMazur) reported from Cessnock, State of New South Wales

    @recneps51 @Optus @NSW_FairTrading I bpay to telstra also, I know they charge me for a paper bill, which I request but never receive, but I don’t know about the other bit. I’d never allow direct debit, especially Optus, I used to ring them every other month about issues.

  • carlagrossetti @carlagrossetti (@carlagrossetti) reported from Maitland, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Thanks Nard. What causes an outage that only affects webmail?

  • JKRLMazur Julian 🇦🇺 (@JKRLMazur) reported from Cessnock, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra Yep. Unfortunately I’m so disgusted with the way I’ve been treated as a customer will see me head to @optus Telstra high prices dont reflect the service you receive from staff when there is a problem. It’s disgraceful. By far the worst telco I have dealt with, ever.

  • JKRLMazur 🇦🇺Julian 🇦🇺 (@JKRLMazur) reported from Cessnock, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra 2hrs this morning wasted with your member chat trying to take out a new contract, long term customer counts for nothing, go on Optus site and as a nobody I got a better deal straight off.

    @nineislands They are still better than Optus... I will never recommend Optus to anyone, not unless they want their credit spent in one day because they were signed up to recieve dating site spam texts which charged them every time they were deleted!!

  • bmizzi_ bmizzi (@bmizzi_) reported

    @AKatsonis @Optus Yeah nah, I realise that, just as a general sweeping statement, I’m happy I left. Telstra network is far better, Boost is good if you don’t mind not having 5G.

  • Anna11608752 Anna🌸🇭🇲☘ (@Anna11608752) reported

    @Optus @chdyctt Given I don't follow the msm TV or press how am I suppose to be informed? Some correspondence from optus to me and my kids would be nice. Not impressed with the current customer care.

  • BexualFeeling Rebecca (@BexualFeeling) reported

    @Gundy38940340 @axelated Um, she can **** alllllllll the way off if she thinks I'm paying for their **** ups! There's a reason I left optus... I'm still worried they have my details from years ago now quite frankly.

  • d_ratcliffe Deirdre Ratcliffe (@d_ratcliffe) reported

    @Soheli8 @redruby17 @Optus so whomever has the Optus customer information can apply for credit reports for each of them? The mind boggles!

  • Skoeman74 Ross Jackson (@Skoeman74) reported

    @Optus @RunnerSA18 When do you stop pretending that this was a cyber attack and acknowledge it was actually a **** up by your staff? My entire identity is now out in the world.

  • actuallyryan85 gecko (@actuallyryan85) reported

    Even if your information was stolen in the Optus hack, don’t be a **** to the customer service department.

  • lilleyjuice Jess Lilley 💾 (@lilleyjuice) reported

    Can’t quite deal with the Optus bit. Do I leave? Is it too late? Do I need to cancel my ID cards and have them somehow reissued with different numbers? I’d ask Optus but pretty sure they’ll just say, ah I dunno I guess YES.

  • BroChiMin Not Quite Sure (@BroChiMin) reported

    @parislord @NathanLee @luciedigitalni Yeah so what? The issue with Optus is bank details.

  • JamesHenstridge James Henstridge (@JamesHenstridge) reported

    @davidwitteveen @cameronwilson The regulator can penalise Optus. But you can't personally do anything about it if they fail to act or you're unhappy with the result.
