  • simoncha_n Simon Chan (@simoncha_n) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @somethingshort @LinkedInAU It’s about blaming your @Optus teammates for piss poor security efforts.

  • sandraom Sandra O'Malley (@sandraom) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    Way to wreck a Sunday, try to contact @Optus to fix their substandard offering.

  • stillupsocut Andy Marsh (@stillupsocut) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @Optus I had two wireless broadband plans and as soon as I terminate one my speeds slow to under 1mb/s. Been two weeks with no solution from your tech support.

  • refjess Jess the Referee (@refjess) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @NJGalea @Optus I had so many problems with them when I signed up. Never again. I'll take my chances with the clowns at Telstra rather than this mob again.

  • mariekringxx ♛Ƙring (@mariekringxx) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    hello @Optus i am network-less atm what happened

  • LizDolphinfluff Liz Darvill (@LizDolphinfluff) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @djp1974 I feel you - being similarly blighted on the Optus network

  • AusLoafer Marko (@AusLoafer) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    Damn it seems George didn't lose the ******** shades at Optus Stadium... #Masterchefau

  • AmandaWorldwide Amanda Valentina💋 (@AmandaWorldwide) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    Nothing like spending your spare time in an @Optus store because the customer service call centre are so inefficient & haven’t cancelled two numbers, one dating back to October 2017, despite being asked to on more than 2 occasions. $120 p/m charges need to be reimbursed, too.

  • sweetgilly Gillian Smith (@sweetgilly) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    Well @Optus no service after act storms last night…what are you doing about it?!

  • Tikkaspecial Steve Smith (@Tikkaspecial) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @Optus NBN down this morning. Website reports no issues at 2911.

  • P_Glo Phoebe #Raiders4Life (@P_Glo) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @RedFiddler Yep pretty good deal. Don’t have too many problems with them. Partner is with Optus and does nothing but complain.

  • JesMullins Jessicah Mullins (@JesMullins) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    A week later and still no resolution. Just infuriating comments from people on the Optus messaging service who have clearly not read the case notes. @Optus you need to fix this…

  • thesiswhisperer Prof Inger Mewburn (@thesiswhisperer) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    So, @Optus put up my phone bill because 'inflation', but has done nothing about my complaint about having no coverage many times over the past 4 months. I guess it's back to @Telstra for me, but I don't hold out much hope it will be better. Duopolies suck.

  • sweetgilly Gillian Smith (@sweetgilly) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @Optus Not sure if I’ll get a resolution from @Optus I sent a dm

  • TimShawTweets Tim Shaw (@TimShawTweets) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @Optus get your f#cking sh#t together and fix digital access in #FranklinACT right now unless you want a whole world of media pain directed your way real soon. Namaste @TimShawTweets @2CC

  • JayJayK75 50ShadesofJay (@JayJayK75) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @allaningleton @Optus Surely someone working there would see how completely stupid that is and take it back, complete crooks mate, phone company’s these days are a nightmare to deal with

  • Fabulous_Red Leon Ha (@Fabulous_Red) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    I do hope that @Optus will match 1:1 the amount of data #Optus customers have donated generously this #Christmas to help drive positive changes in our community. LH

  • miksta85 Michael (@miksta85) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @optus you need to fix your coverage at Gungahlin marketplace. It’s non-existent.

  • GGL_Drew Andrew Christian (@GGL_Drew) reported from Queanbeyan, State of New South Wales

    Just spoke with family in Tuross Heads. Tuross is unaffected apart from smoke. Connectivity available on the Telstra network (but not optus). Power just turned on at 2am this morning. Water is on and working. #SouthCoastFires #BushfireEmergency #tuross

  • Colincopeland2 Col Copeland (@Colincopeland2) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @Optus is there any problems with the network in the ACT. Its very, very slow tonight

  • WaltfromABQ WaltfromABQ (@WaltfromABQ) reported

    @Optus You have just advised that all of my personal information has been divulged however not my credit card information ? Are you conveniently lying about this ? After being an Optus customer for 20 yrs I will be closing my account immediately

  • MrFridman Right Hook (@MrFridman) reported

    @OMGTheMess @Optus Alas, you can’t reestablish the identity. Once it’s stolen, it’s shared with criminals forever. That’s the worst part 😢

  • DeliciousSophie SophieDel (@DeliciousSophie) reported

    @LydiaAmesha You’re kidding now, right? If CIA can be broken into, what makes you think Optus can’t get hacked? They have security. The hackers simply have the tools to get around security controls… have you been asleep at the wheel or something???

  • phil38555615 Phil Campbell (@phil38555615) reported

    @Optus is there an outage in Melbourne CBD?

  • BiancaLiu17 BiancaLiu (@BiancaLiu17) reported

    @Optus you are ****. You should fire your product team.

  • EmilyButler Emily Butler (@EmilyButler) reported

    @AliceFay @Optus Wow, that is so bad. For a communications company, surely sending a network-wide SMS is within their means?

  • RickWatt9 Rick Watt (@RickWatt9) reported

    @LovelockEdward @strangerous10 @softhardworker The three or four times I've been in the telstra shop the service has been so bad I've never gone with them, the girl in my local Optus shop is a very helpful genius and the plans are a fair bit cheaper so I don't really want to move.

  • ego2k Hutcho (@ego2k) reported

    @saltyskin_ @Optus Not "**** you" hackers? Your anger seems to be misdirected

  • CarltonBree Bree Carlton (@CarltonBree) reported

    @JustJul77588855 @Urchin_LMS Also wondering if changing phone numbers and emails might help?? Surely Optus now has to allow people to get new numbers. The other concern is ppl getting a new sim attached to your account !!!

  • Maryanne_Mac44 Mary-Anne (@Maryanne_Mac44) reported

    I cannot believe that Optus don't know how this happened and obviously DON'T KNOW HOW YO FIX IT.
