    @EVillainess @markrayfield2 @Jeremy_Kirk Better check the ACMA carrier legislation and then the audit requirements. 👍 Optus have failed to maintain customer privacy. Failed to secure the private data AND have failed to protect data IMO this was a deliberate act from cabal to force a cyber security event in the future.

    @Optus Hi there. Still doesn't work correctly

    The Optus fellow told me to DM me the problem and give him ‘as much info as possible’. Hoo boy, he’s asking for it.

    Hi @Optus just got this message about ‘not returning my fetch box’. I have told you repeatedly over the last 12 months that my house burnt down and there is no fetch box. I have begged to speak with a real person with no luck. I’ll need confirmation by the end of the

    @Optus I’ve done all the checks. IView, etc. all work fine on the Fetch box. It’s the streaming channels that take ages to start and give streaming errors. Catch-up like BBC First are really bad and often fail to start a show, showing a streaming error. Looks like Fetch service prob.

    Good work @Optus I recommended you to my father, but after buying a SIM he’s spent hours failing to get it activated via your automated customer anti-service system which is apparently designed to thwart victims from getting to speak to a person. Never recommending you again.

    @Optus you suck right now I can’t even unrestrict my phone through the app and I’m trying to wait for customer service online

  • MattIsNE1
    Matt (@MattIsNE1) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @TGUZ72 @Optus That’s one thing about hiring people to provide front line support when they are not adequately equipped to work through issues. Sometimes that will result in someone letting out more information than they should.

    @ktdenise My only true issue atm is struggling to screen mirror but mainly due to having an outdated TV and or not having an Apple Box.. mainly issue for my Optus Sports but that not a drama atm lol

    Glen Nixon (@GlenNixon) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    From the evidence I have to conclude that @Optus don’t have anyone working in a call centre. They just play music at you until you give up. #service

    @Optus We seem to have an outage in the 4506 postcode.

    Watching Liverpool this morning on Optus Miss 12 walks down the hall waking from her slumber and spots the Nike Ad. “Look Dad!, it’s @samkerr1!!”

    Does anyone else find Optus 5G regularly shows as connected with full service, but no data will transfer? Websites won’t open, apps won’t connect etc?

  • laciheiter
    Laszlo Heiter (@laciheiter) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @Optus Thanks. I have had several conversations and chats with customer service. I stopped reporting the issues, as it’s mainly nbn issues and it’s really frustrating. Paying $70 a month for the service you can hardly use is just outrageous. Text messages coming through advising outages

  • Flansq
    Twenny-Juanita. (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @ch1ch01 @Optus Yeah. I reported as well — and also raised it in live chat. Spoke with another person on Optus here and they also have the same issue (actually said it’s regular at this location)

    @Yeahbutnaahh @Optus Optus informed me last week that my Australian passport number has been compromised. Narrator: James didn't have an Australian passport when he was an Optus customer. He is confused.

    @Optus, hey Floptus when are you finally going to finish work on the Cell Tower in Clontarf? At one stage it was supposed to be finished by mid Jan, but it is still dragging on! In the meantime I get 4th world service! Download speed 10.3, upload 1.16, and this is on 5G

    @lukeacl @halftimbered @tuppaware @BeauGiles @AppleMusic @Mardukian @twistieman FWIW I’m on Optus (don’t hate me) and I have zero issues like what’s been described ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    @ch1ch01 @Optus The issue resolved itself once I left that immediate area but had to get a few towers away first.

    @FOXFOOTY @maxlaughton You would have instant support in the South West but a harder time converting northern suburbs of Perth away from WCE & Freo. Powers above would want northern Perth side to get the extra $$ from more matches at Optus. I am bias but South West Sharks is the way to go!

    @daytona7th @Adrian_Arciuli @FIFAWorldCup I have been to many soccer games at Optus stadium and its been great. They do preseason games there every year for big teams and its never been a bad watch.

    @Woodygocats59 @TonyShepherd4 Once again I refer you back to the Optus outage where everybody including the government and Optus thought the 000 service was functioning but it was found to still be out of action several hours later. And the government minister was AWOL again. A couple of hours can save lives.

    @AdityaS41869751 @randomcricstat Heads batting at the Optus to England off the back foot mainly But yes these drop in pitches on multi sport grounds are awful they break up and crack so easily or you leave enough grass on the top and it’s like your playing on a minefield

    Eagles. Stats and random. (@EaglestatsNW) reported

    @bamberee 🤷 Not unexpected. Optus version worse. BUT the same as then, today. Lynch - no plan. Rebound - no defence. Outlet for hand pass - nil. Even with Marcus to buy half an hour. Selection/positions - bewildering. Reid DE&t/o really poor-noone with him? No coaching response to these

    @Markedw But WCE aren't going to be playing. If you want that feeling, just hang around Optus ..... much cheaper 🤭

    @Optus @Optus @OptusNewsRoom when I try to dial out it tells me there is insufficient credit to make a call, when I text the balance check number it shows unlimited calls until the end of the day 31/07/2026 and the current time is midday AEST. Would this be a network issue?
