    @mrdanielfeo @Optus @Telstra Agree, 1.5Mbps is terrible.

  • iB3nji Ben (@iB3nji) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @blake_andersson @Telstra @Optus Go Boost Mobile! I’m with them. Same Telstra network, unlimited Apple Music, more data for less. Pre-paid.

  • petenowakowski Pete Nowakowski (@petenowakowski) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @DanielNigro76 Yep. Parents house connected to Optus network.

  • cambuslangtrain John Roach (@cambuslangtrain) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @LesStonehouse Faithful to Telstra for 40 years despite our blind loyalty not being reciprocated in quality of service or pricing. Switched to Optus at NBN connection time some years back. Could not be happier with Optus!! Stuff Telstra "and all who ro(r)t in her!!"

  • iB3nji Ben (@iB3nji) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra_news “Telstra operate the nation’s only 5G network”. I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure @Optus has 5G too.

  • petenowakowski Pete Nowakowski (@petenowakowski) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @kirstinferguson @Optus My parents and I on Optus network. Mum got the txt, dad and I didn't.

  • roseannebyrne 💧🌱pragmaticleftie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪💔 (@roseannebyrne) reported from Kiama, State of New South Wales

    @LesStonehouse @Telstra @Optus Oh He's. It does seem older folk were totally neglected in all of this. No NBN no phone. Cutoffs before they were ready. Expectations they'd understand it all. Neighbour is nearly 90 and it's been awful trying to keep him connected. All on his own.

  • Thought_Patrol Thought Patrol (@Thought_Patrol) reported from Kiama, State of New South Wales

    Normal service resumed thanks @Optus

  • stelaukin Stavros (@stelaukin) reported

    @RockliffTeam Any advice on how to find out if this has happened to me? I'm an optus customer but have not received any information from optus about the breach at all.

  • adammonline AdamM (@adammonline) reported

    @drvyom I haven't heard anything from Optus directly. That doesn't mean anything except they haven't contacted me. I don't trust their security or their competence. Any Optus customer has to assume all of our data is now in the public domain.

  • loflife shire Antifa Antipodean boy (@loflife) reported

    @rustedon1962 @domknight @Optus and weeks later, they introduced photo ID Drivers Licenses, took four photos using only one, and everyone went "Duh, look at my stupid photo, duh"

  • Tony60576164 Tony (@Tony60576164) reported

    @TruthdriverOn @AlboMP Why should taxpayers pay for what is ostensibly a corporations’ failure? Have you offered to pay for those affected? State and Fed govt should issue new IDs for those affected with all legitimate costs to be recouped by govts from Optus. This has nothing to do with foreign aid 🙄

  • JuliaRHamilton Julia Hamilton (@JuliaRHamilton) reported

    @c0leyy93 @Optus I waited 6 hours yesterday. Someone answered after 2 hours but left to go home from their without answering my question. Said someone else will come to help but no one did.

  • OBradaric oli (@OBradaric) reported

    @ClareONeilMP definitly i will be gone from optus even if i pay big penalty for services to little to late got email of exposed id and all cant trust and have no money due to health issues pay new passport or driver licence in vict

  • MattSmi81658311 ProBiBly 🏖🏳️‍🌈↙️ (@MattSmi81658311) reported

    @AmyRemeikis I’d been with Virgin mobile since about 2005 and was ported over to Optus about 4 yrs ago when they ditched Virgin. I’ve never directly given Optus any of my details and don’t use their app and I still got caught up in it! It’s complete BS 🤬

  • fatinpaisal Fatin Paisal (@fatinpaisal) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    I was trying to change my network provider and was trying to do so on a day before the cyberattack but my user experience to do it was pretty bad, and I opt to stay with Optus. Bad timing. Definitely will change to something else soon.

  • OgilvyTim Tim Ogilvy (@OgilvyTim) reported

    @CurrieCEO @RossFloate Optus’ PR machine is hard at work hoping TF they do, but Feds and the internet are slowly hanging them out to dry for their incompetent breach. Optus deffo effed up bad.

  • rtpnel LeftofLenin (@rtpnel) reported

    @slsandpet @Sey2S To the CEO of OPTUS: Are you stupid or incompetent?
