    @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 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.

    @JanB_QLD @joshgnosis Moreover i have not been a customer for 15 years yet I received a letter from Optus saying it was likely my personal information had been stolen.

    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.

    @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 😳

    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

  • Flansq

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

    @FearbySoftware Optus for over 20 years.. Never had a problem.. Fingers crossed

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

    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.

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

    Hi @Optus no internet since early this morning which means landline phone's not working.. we have a sick mother-in-law who needs to communicate with us.. could you please Mark this is urgent in the Mitchelton area cheers

    After putting it off for months, walked into Optus and sorted the issues with my plan, got a better deal and a 12Pro. Procrastiwin?

  • 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

    @glendat45 @Optus Its mistake after mistake and no service to sought it out. Congratulations on your grandchild!!

    Anyone else thinking North Melbourne could be a banana peel this week? Fremantle have been dominating and if it were at Optus I wouldn’t even be considering it but down in Bunbury in the wind, could it even things up?

  • Slav636
    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.

  • mightgetthere
    Val (@mightgetthere) reported

    @DevMohali @Ausbobsmit I have met some really nice Indians, and I have met some that want to rip us off every chance they get. I will never again deal with an Indian or a Pakistani in telecommunications. I’m not sure but I think Telstra and Optus are a bit gun-shy well.

  • sandylanceley
    Sandy Lanceley (@sandylanceley) reported

    @ImOneWithTheKop @MikeGBurner @mleppard11 I’m sure they would, but the bidding requires at least seven existing stadiums be used out of 14. So we would need more than just Optus The FFA were certainly considering using the MCG in their potential 2034 bid that never materialised

  • Wazzels5
    Warren (@Wazzels5) reported

    @Optus Sorry Tam, not a great response. I have now spoken with a senior person within Optus and emailed the CEO with my complaint along with sending the recorded conversation with your customer service team to him also. I guess you no longer value loyal customers. Gee 24 years.

    @ProudLeftyHatr @AustralianCelt @SkyNewsAust Petal, those flights have been checked and passed by the parliamentary office. She had other flights booked, they were cancelled as Wells dealt with the Optus fall out. Last minute flights were secured. Acting like this has never happened before is just pathetic. Born yesterday?

    Dayvd Allen (@DayvdAllen69876) reported

    Home internet is down, BUT, according to Australia's "Lightning Fast" NBN... There IS no outage... Yeahhhhhhh.... The "Not Online" indicator light says otherwise. Optus are now "confirming" there's a problem... 🙄

    @TheHolyBoot Please, the American stadiums are light years ahead of ours, optus is the only thing close. Facilities at the SCG are poor.

    @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

    @TheRagingMackem I was with Optus for 10 years but only because I worked there. I've had far fewer issues with Vodafone.
