  @helphelpandhelp It's the fact that Optus KEPT all the personal info, even of ex-customers. WTF were they doing with licence and passport numbers well after the 100 point check had been done. WHY?

  Update 5. Annnddd we're done. "Glad we've been able to help you. This case is now resolved" So, if you are hearing impaired you are not welcome at Optus ... they will only help you if you can speak on the phone. Disgraceful in this day and age @Optus. @Vodafone, here I come!

  @VoteLewko @Starlink And look who is confusing satellite internet with mobile phone services. Starlink is looking at reselling Optus mobile coverage as Starlink. Not using satellite phone service. It’s written in the article.

  @Kate3015 Remember 18 Sept 2025 when Optus had a 000 outage because no one though to make some test calls to ensure the service was working after an upgrade? Doing a test is basic common sense.

  @pceebee23 @LayaboutSi @Telstra They very much are. All vline trains are down. Metro uses Optus so they are fine.
