    I really wish my @Optus 5G WiFi would not drop out every ten mins. Been nothing but trouble since we had it. Need to go back to NBN awful signal.

  • faelingx faeling 💜 (@faelingx) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    hi you keep trying to charge me $500 for general use damages on screen/pixels UNDERNEATH the screen on a lease phone I had. You know that's a manufacturer fault right? Are you ok @Optus can you fix this stupidity thanks.

  • djgillespie9 David J Gillespie (@djgillespie9) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Come on @kayosports fix your streaming 👎 Don’t tell me that it’s my speed, I’ve got ultimate speed!!! No problems with other apps - like Optus Sports 🤔

  • aimani Arash (@aimani) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus we haven’t had mobile reception at our house in The Gap 4061 all day. Why the outage and when will it get rectified???

  • AjaanMark Dr Mark 🎄 🏴 🇵🇸 อาจารย์มาก (@AjaanMark) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Is it just me or is Optus WiFi really slow this week?

  • LimeEyed LimeEyed (@LimeEyed) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus stop trying to bill me for a service i cancelled

  • GaryThomasEllis Gary Thomas Ellis (@GaryThomasEllis) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Bloody hell #Optus 6 ads in a row in a subscription service is beyond reasonable. All the ads were for your own products.

  • stevemedley Steve Medley (@stevemedley) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus no internet, called support, told ling wait use message system, talked to a bot, no reply still no internet! Useless!

  • emeerana Imran Ali Rana (@emeerana) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Fix your **** @Telstra don't let your customers switch to Optus. ******* nightmare!

  • conal_tuohy CONAL (@conal_tuohy) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @LucasMapstone_ @Cas2o @maz_jovanovich Same happened to me just now in Brisbane. Optus network told my phone to jump forward but my girlfriend's identical phone, with identical settings, 3m away, stayed on Queensland time.

  • stevemedley Steve Medley (@stevemedley) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @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

  • LesStonehouse Politic@l Spinner (@LesStonehouse) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    My wife nearly had a major breakdown last night over her 89 year old mums @Optus phone not working properly for years now.., anyone else having major problems with Optus recently? they're forcing her to pay for another modem. it's been a complete nightmare lives on her own

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

  • AjaanMark Dr Mark 🎄 🏴 🇵🇸 อาจารย์มาก (@AjaanMark) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Dollaryd00s I have an Optus 4G dongle as well as my phone and both seem slow since Wednesday.

  • nothingkanye Nathan John Kearney (@nothingkanye) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    How is @Optus so incredibly bad? It's my 4th time on customer support since I got mobile broadband one month ago because the internet isn't working.

  • LesStonehouse Politic@l Spinner (@LesStonehouse) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus My wife should contact you tonight she's working.. **** she was a mess never I want to see her like this again

  • Guesty22 Matt Guest (@Guesty22) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Optus being down is causing me all sorts of issues at work today.

  • Guesty22 Matt Guest (@Guesty22) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus your 5G service is really terrible. It’s been awful for about 3/4 weeks but on and off awful for months. I really need to get rid of this and look at going on your other plans or elsewhere….

  • Scribe31oz Linda Thackeray (@Scribe31oz) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus I'm ready to go elsewhere. I am 5 days with barely any phone service because you people decide to do upgrades in the middle of a pandemic where people are advised to stay home.

  • todd42246896 Todd Hacking (@todd42246896) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Hey @Optus - I’m so annoyed. The service I’ve received is beyond appalling. I have a personal account and recently changed the business account to you but I’m told your crm system can’t differentiate or create two distinct entities - causing confusion and mix ups. It’s 2021!

  • baradhili PICSI.co (@baradhili) reported

    @bugwannostra @Optus and I'm yet to learn if my info is at risk... or even if they are investigating .... @Optus what is your comms team doing? I know your cyber team is flat out - but can you help?

  • thatmdee Em D (@thatmdee) reported

    The Optus debacle shows it's only fair I rebrand myself as a 'sophisticated cyber attacker' when I fix up my own whoopsies

  • AlexDGlengarry Alex McDonnel (@AlexDGlengarry) reported

    @nineislands There is really only 2 providers - Telstra or Optus as they are the only companies who have network infrastructure. The small retailers use one or the other, name your poison!

  • Rob_Smithers Robert Smithers (@Rob_Smithers) reported

    @GilliantheGP This could end up being the largest class action lawsuit in Australian history, the scale of the damages from this event is almost limitless, it would behove Optus to spend a lot of money right now to do damage control

  • CommBank CommBank (@CommBank) reported

    We are constantly monitoring for any customer information associated with data-breaches, including the most recent Optus breach. Our intelligence monitoring systems run 24/7/365, allowing us to identify at-risk customers prior to an attack.

  • teigra_1 Tahlia Rose (@teigra_1) reported

    @nineislands I switched to Voda years ago. Excellent coverage. Where I live Optus is non existent & Telstra drops out. Good prepaid with heaps of data.. $40/month free talk & txt+ heaps of data. Is the only internet I have.Have travelled up to Qld & over to SA with no problems

  • ArchyJaneF JaneEvil (@ArchyJaneF) reported

    @StevenGeorgant1 @AlanBixter Maybe partner companies that use the Optus network. My phone provider uses this network, but I never had to provide passport or driving licence details for that, so hopefully not compromised.

  • potatobake28 Cake not chicken (@potatobake28) reported

    @ken_killcare @agarner This sounds like fun of the mill scam. But I’d recommend people use an ID tracking service especially if they’ve been (or are) an Optus customer.

  • jr_p30 The silent investor (@jr_p30) reported

    @Optus @rico_wallaby Individually contacting means a shorty generic text msg! Your service and care is pathetic

  • IrinaAsanova1 Irina Asanova (@IrinaAsanova1) reported

    @smudge_green @Optus This is what I can’t understand. If someone steals (or commits fraud on) my credit card, I simply call my bank & they cancel my credit card and issue me with a new one. Why can’t Optus do this with phone numbers?
