    @Optus Hi Aaron. I would love to use the app but your system now has the wrong date of birth for me after 20 years as a customer. And when I finally got through on Thursday and did my ID check - no problem. Something wrong with your app.

    ScubaSteve (@fanaticeel) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @peter__kay It's truly appalling. And due to present laws passed by the previous govt Optus won't be fined! However that doesn't help what happened. I haven't been with optus since 96.. hmm I should be ok

  • nickshewring
    nick shewring (@nickshewring) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @JarradLawrence Did the data breach effect only current customers or anyone that’s been a @Optus customer over the years?

  • girlondon
    Kathryn Geels (@girlondon) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @alsotheabyss @LaurenBeldi I felt the same about filling out those forms even before the Optus incident. It really wasn’t very clear how they used the information, how they stored it and where, who had access to it, and how long they keep it.

  • BlackwellJ_
    James Blackwell (@BlackwellJ_) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    My 2nd days-long internet outage in a week with @Optus — and they can’t/won’t send a technician out until Tuesday...

  • CognitiveVerb
    💧cognitive verb (@CognitiveVerb) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @annkozma723 @OlivierElzingre @steven_kolber I suspect it was an internet service provider problem. @Flipgrid grid is pretty hungry and @Optus was not playing fair.

  • jimmcslim
    James Webster (@jimmcslim) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    Nothing like being stuck on the @TransLinkSEQ flying junction into Bowen Hills, where the @Optus coverage sucks…

  • GuyRedRooHaines
    The RedRoo from Downunder (@GuyRedRooHaines) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @Optus how come if I’m a prepay customer I can select a $20 international roaming data plan with 10gig over 14 days but if I’m on a plan I have to select a $10per day for 1 gig add on? Seems sorta cruddy for your plan based customers.

  • JamesCridland
    James Cridland (@JamesCridland) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @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 How do you get help resetting you're PASSWORD not interested in virtual assistants either someone human, no help anywhere else

  • mr_mouse
    Mr. Mouse (@mr_mouse) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @Optus is the a known issue with Fetch streaming? I’m on Optus NBN and have no issues with any other internet/streaming services. Streamed channels not reliable, on demand (e.g. BBC catch-up) not working at all. Done soft reset, still broken.

  • Flansq
    Bonshaquita’lafondria (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @_marty_k Ugh. No thank you. I haven’t used a SimCard at all since I moved to Optus. When I ported from vids phone on the iPhone 12, I just activated via the app. Same deal with the 14PM. Just had to phone to get them to issue a new eSim to the app (transfer phone to phone didn’t work)

  • TimmyfromOz888
    Timmy (@TimmyfromOz888) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @sandyhunter2 @Apple I would just say the Optus Sim hasn’t “engaged” yet ... I know sounds stupid but try the ol “turn off turn on” trick

  • BorisOsery
    Boris Osery (@BorisOsery) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @OptusNewsRoom I ordered a SIM card online on the 25/09/20. The Optus site says 3/5 business days delivery time. Optus can you tell me should your advertising be 30/50 business days delivery?? It’s the 12/10/20??? 🤬 WTF

  • barryrutherford
    Barry Rutherford | Parkrun fan (@barryrutherford) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @AnitaHeiss @Optus I’ve had two emails confirming my data had been breached even though I haven’t been a customer since 2005

  • RuaBrithem
    Rua Uilliam (💉💉💉 Pagan Prole Sewer Rat) (@RuaBrithem) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    The plumber ****** the NBN cable and I am now without wifi and phone. Plumber notntaming responsibility because it wasn’t “regulation”. Waiting to hear back from Optus to see when NBN can come out to fix it.

  • phocks
    Joshua Byrd (@phocks) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    tbh private health insurance shouldn't even exist (neither should private telecommunications - looking at you optus) and should be shut down immediately as they've proven they can't be trusted with our data, but that's another story /rant over

  • EthicalAdviser
    Steve Putt (@EthicalAdviser) reported from Brisbane, Queensland

    @Optus @glendat45 My house burnt down 14 months ago and they charged me for not returning the fetch box. That burnt along with it. Impossible to get any service from them. Hope it gets sorted out soon for you.

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

    @Optus and @NBN_Australia your network is shocking. I don’t think there’s been a day since Christmas that we’ve had a full day without network outage and connection dropping to the level where the internet just can’t be used. Seriously, just unacceptable for the price we pay. 😡

    @NBN_Australia internet down for 20 hours in east subs of sydney. WTF no updates, silence. what the hell is going on. @Optus @optus_help

  • eevblog
    Dave Jones (@eevblog) reported

    @asphotos Science isn't going to help when the system is clogged because the NBN is down and many thousands of people are trying to find workarounds. Telstra in the park has collapsed, and Optus is struggling.

  • c0n_AU
    Con! (@c0n_AU) reported

    @electricfuture5 Good charger. WiFi would help because there’s piss poor Optus coverage making use of the Tesla or Kia apps hard.

    GamblingonLife (@highstakesbet) reported

    @Optus Congratulations @Optus your incompetence has led me to @amaysimAU which are far far cheaper! You just lost a 30+ year customer. Well done 🤡 #auspol

    @freopics_ If you can afford it, book flights now that you can get a refund or a credit voucher for as it guarantees more travel in 2027 hehe. But, otherwise it will be great here. Down in Freo or at Optus or with friends.

    Raymond McKeown (@RaymondKeown3) reported

    @Kate3015 We Also built TPG & Vodafone's networks, however, my point was really Albanese raced up to Singapore begging for oil, Optus is owned by the Singapore Govt. They will not be pleased. And for the record, we built the very first NBN site at Kiama, I met several times with Conroy, he is a fool. We walked away, I said let everyone else beg for this, we will pick up all their other business while they are ******* with NBN, Conroy had no idea of the concept of Fibre, nor did his management, they were all Guys I had worked with at Sun Microsystems, not one had ever built a network. Conroy went against advice & lost $800 million on a Satellite project, the Indonesians grabbed the flight space.
