    @LesStonehouse @Optus There is, I think I remember correctly, a period of up to 48 hours where a new service replicates across a WAN (wide area network).

    @JohnCoo51013646 @call_me_tomasso @Leinster_Lad @lesleygood1 @Optus Ah yes, I well remember Telecom and the Post Office, both focused on the customer and delivering quality service.

  • Granville4879 💉💉💉 Granville in FNQ 😷 (@Granville4879) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    @toninicho I am now, seriously, thinking of changing my carrier after years of being with Optus Problem is Telstra cost me a first full money last time I was with them and I dropped Vodaphone over their poor customer service.

    My Optus plan suddenly went up by ten bucks because they decided to start charging for Optus Sport. Oh well, not using it, I’ll cancel the add-on. New bill arrives, it’s now gone up by 20 bucks. Haha

  • Blynkfnm blynk (@Blynkfnm) reported

    @pagan_ob @Eshzfn how much is it bc my optus internet sucks

  • mattgillard Matt Gillard (@mattgillard) reported

    Nice of Vodafone to send me a msg saying my data was not exposed in the Optus incompetence…. I never expected otherwise

  • TrueBlueAussi19 TrueBlueAussie (@TrueBlueAussi19) reported

    @abcnews Internet access these days should be deemed a necessity / basic human right. If there was real desire from Govt, NBN Co, Telstra, Optus, Vodafone etc, this problem would not exist and this article would not be needed.

  • selfdrivenMark Mark Byers (@selfdrivenMark) reported

    @AjaanMark FYI: Optus / Vodafone share the same mobile network.

  • aurorastormG3 🐳 polar bear 🌧️ vaxxed x VII 💞build love (@aurorastormG3) reported

    @EthicsInBricks When I played Guess Who, once the faces were down, they were forgotten. No electronic record of the faces I looked at, asked about, or guessed right or wrong. Optus ( a telco in Australia ) was hacked. Personal details stolen. It can’t be undone.

  • JayMG2205 Jaywalker Blue (@JayMG2205) reported

    @UberFacts @Optus they sent out the wrong phones, had my internet cut off have overcharged me by hundreds of dollars, caused me a credit issue, left their system open and were cyber attacked and after nearly two months of stress on me still can't fix this colossal **** up.

  • fuckmoneyz corey (@fuckmoneyz) reported

    i hate optus sm literally the worst internet i’ve ever had

  • sexualdarasment Yiannis (@sexualdarasment) reported

    Unsure if Optus Sport, Optus internet or Telstra 5G is the issue, but my stream is ****** up

  • vinceassaf Vince Assaf (@vinceassaf) reported

    Literally just had someone try convince me the Optus hack isn’t real and is “part of the bigger picture” …. Brother what picture? Ayrib lebo’s and their stupid conspiracies
