-
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
-
Boris Osery (@BorisOsery) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus Your stupid sales assistant says she’ll give feedback, & no I’m not fkn patient cos I can’t make outgoing calls cos you fkn idiots don’t live up to your promises.....simple as that💪🏿
-
Twenny-Juanita. (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@ch1ch01 @Optus The issue resolved itself once I left that immediate area but had to get a few towers away first.
-
Gerimima StFrostfirst (@blake_andersson) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@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)_/¯
-
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?
-
Steve Putt (@EthicalAdviser) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandThe Optus fellow told me to DM me the problem and give him ‘as much info as possible’. Hoo boy, he’s asking for it.
-
Barry Rutherford | Parkrun fan (@barryrutherford) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@ClareONeilMP I haven’t been an Optus customer since 2004 yet I received a letter from the CEO that my Data had been leaked. It’s left me worried.
-
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. 😡

Timmy (@TimmyfromOz888) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@imogynmargaret @ktdenise @Optus I’m Optus no problems my end... odd
-
💧John Mair QGM (@mairzy3039) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandWhat the hell are Stefanovic and Canavan on Today talking about? They are saying Gladys is the person to fix Optus. FFS 🤬🤬🤬🤬
-
Timmy (@TimmyfromOz888) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@ktdenise My only true issue atm is struggling to screen mirror but mainly due to having an outdated TV and or not having an Apple Box..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
-
Willow (@Willow07935405) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Anthony_Klan They are id##ts I got a letter today but it was addressed to my house but with someone else’s name, I’ve lived at this address for 32 years and have been a optus customer since then 😳
-
Michael McNally (@NTEUQldDivSec) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandAbsolute crap service from @Optus “more than an hour and so we won’t be dealing with your call today”. #optusfail Yasmin got through and they wouldn’t let her just report the fault even though she has an @Optus account at same address. Complete failure of their outsourcing model
-
Dr Mark 🎄 🏴 🇵🇸 อาจารย์มาก (@AjaanMark) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Dollaryd00s I have an Optus 4G dongle as well as my phone and both seem slow since Wednesday.
-
PKambara (@PKambara) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandNo stream tonight, because @Optus are taking forever with moving my dang service.
-
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
-
:Matt. (@Matteris) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@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.

V2★Anтнøny (@MKWAnthony) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandCurrently having a blackout and my 4G is garbage at best. Optus letting me down like most people in my life lol
-
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.
-
Jase Smith (@JaseSmith78) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@GaryNunn1 Aldi mobile uses the Telstra network without the Telstra price... but not sure if it supports things like multi devices or Apple Watch - I put my husband on $35 Optus plan (plus $15 to link iPad and the watch was free for the first year) with 30gb

J (@jcotteri) reported@SSendybez8 @MelbourneBlokee Exactly this. WTF. It’s worse than Stan/Optus
-
GoTimeAFL (@jaysoofficial23) reported@feedthecath Cats have a different game plan and usually start the season poor. Reckon we can beat yahs again but at Optus.
-
Phil (@unglobular) reported@PaulDonGipps The WAFL eagles just played this afternoon on a fairly open oval just down the road from Optus.
-
Peter Colbert (@PeterJColbert) reportedHere is the kicker. I was there b/c my father has Parkinson and border line Dementia which Abu knew at 383 George St. Abu tried to get the attention of the manager who was with a customer along with another Optus colleague and he brushed Abu away without even acknowledging Abu. Being also brushed off angrily by the guy at World Trade Square (witnessed by another angry customer) and had not opened the store at required time only shows Optus has a serious cultural problem which I’m sure Ben Fordam at 2GB will find interesting tomorrow when I email him.

Ronnie xx (@XxRonnie57409) reported@TaniaLe89811601 @realRick_AUS @SenstiveHearts I'm near the airport, very strong winds but a few planes still taking off. Wondering if they will cancel the Eagles game at Optus?
-
Kath (@Kathblue) reportedScrew you @Optus. Putting my plan up again and trying to make it sound better by giving me more data. I don’t use the data I have now. I’ve moved providers so no longer a customer.
-
Svyatoslav Pidgorny 🇺🇦🇦🇺 (@Slav636) reported@bexcran IPv6 is massive in India, first class support by JIO. There are carriers that hold on to IPv4-only. Australia’s Optus is one. They had massive outages and security breaches. Lack of IPv6 support is a sign of systemic issues in the organisation.
-
Jordan Wardle (@JordanWardle5) reported@theinfradev @ruicharadrius I'm not revising history. The plan was fttp everywhere, with Telstra and optus copper being bought out to move them to the NBN. The copper was never going to be used for the NBN. Look at the Telstra definitive agreements from 2011.

Optus Help (@optus_help) reported@Dunhacking @Optus Hi there, we're sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with paying your bill and for the runaround experience trying to sort this. Please send us a DM, so we can take a look and investigate further. -Enku

Arnav Sharma 🇦🇺 (@arnavsharma) reportedOptus privacy breach hits 51k White Pages cases; architecture takeaway: enforce zero-trust, data minimisation, and robust access controls to reduce blast radius. Align incident response with ACSC guidance and SOCI Act obligations. #auscyber
