  • JoshO567 Josh Howe (@JoshO567) reported from Central Coast, State of New South Wales

    @simonhill1894 The A-League won't be the same without you. Football in general won't be the same without you. Thanks for your service. Hope to hear you somewhere down the road. Maybe some place called Optus

  • BelindaNoonan1 Belinda Noonan (@BelindaNoonan1) reported from Central Coast, State of New South Wales

    @Optus have “technical errors” if you are trying to get technical help with NBN. That’s what I was told when transferred to NBN tech help desk, after another ridiculous amount of phone time.

  • gjblue Greg Blue (@gjblue) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @Hillysfarms @Telstra I reckon telstra coverage in metro areas is third after optus and Vodafone, its terrible here in Newcastle

  • mediahunter Craig Wilson (@mediahunter) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @CouchNish I can't even watch it. Optus issues. 😡

  • MarkEquestrian Mark Tarrant (@MarkEquestrian) reported from Central Coast, State of New South Wales

    @Optus PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STOP with the hard sell sales pith to try to lock me into a contract every damn time i need to speak to one of you people. DISGRACEFUL

  • fergmich Michelle Ferguson (@fergmich) reported from Central Coast, State of New South Wales

    @Optus was chatting to someone on app messaging service re Fetch TV. App has dropped out 'Technical problem'. Can someone please help me ASAP.

  • siobhan_curran Siobhan Curran (@siobhan_curran) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    As an @optus customer I haven’t received any correspondence regarding the data breach and have no idea if my data has been compromised.

  • michaelread1 Michael (@michaelread1) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @optus can’t call me and I can’t call them because I don’t have either a business or a personal line. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise. Do we have any options that don’t leak peoples private data to randoms in Australia? How absolutely incompetent and stupid.

  • ResourcefulHDR Sally Purcell (@ResourcefulHDR) reported from Central Coast, State of New South Wales

    @albericie @Optus Good luck! Feel your pain. Left the big telcos a few years back. With a smaller isp now - much happier with the customer service

  • lumbers1978 jem (@lumbers1978) reported from Central Coast, State of New South Wales

    hey @optus courtesy of your inept customer service you are loosing a 20 year customer. Nothing like being screwed over, lied to and treated like a dumb arse by your so called customer service.

  • michaelread1 Michael (@michaelread1) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    Optus then decided after over 90 mins of explaining myself multiple times to different people on chat, I’d need to wait for a call. That call happened, it was from the wrong department. So they had to transfer me. After 2 hours I got some help. “So what can we do today?” 🤯

  • carolduncan Carol Duncan (@carolduncan) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @joshgnosis I’e tweeted Optus for help/advice, tried online chat twice … nothing.

  • ajhill_alan Alan Hill (@ajhill_alan) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @perthovalman @kevinperry @TheWorldGame @SBS @ALeague @premierleague @Craig_Foster @LucyZelic A cash-strapped FTA network does its best but has no hope of competing with Foxtel (itself scaling back football coverage in the face of its own financial woes) and Optus. I'd blame the government before pointing a finger at SBS.

  • ShaneNatalie Shane N. Thompson (@ShaneNatalie) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @Optus hello, I received spam email this week claiming to be Optus & confirming that I had increased my laptop data usage with Optus. I never increased my data usage. Can you now confirm with me that my laptop/mobile plan hasn’t been changed? Thanks.

  • halans Jean-Jacques Halans (@halans) reported from Central Coast, State of New South Wales

    Optus having a problem with 4G data on iPhone 12.

  • MansfieldOwen Owen Mansfield (@MansfieldOwen) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Worst service I’ve ever recommend. Have been trying to connect NBN. No one in your call centres seem to know what to do.

  • dorrian_peter peter dorrian (@dorrian_peter) reported from Central Coast, State of New South Wales

    Hey @Optus I moved house today and notwithstanding 3 weeks notice - guess what - no internet connection at my new house - and btw your “customer service” sucks - just time wasting useless conversations- how does a very long term loyal customer speak to someone who might fix this?

  • BZElkie Barbara Elkins (@BZElkie) reported from Central Coast, State of New South Wales

    @janine_hendry Cancel contracts with Optus? Urgent enough?

  • nickintheworld Nick Williams (@nickintheworld) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @a_choros **** Telstra, marry Vodafone, kill Optus... Truth be told I’d prefer to kill Telstra while screaming **** you and have an ongoing FWB with Vodafone and just leave Optus alone

  • michaelread1 Michael (@michaelread1) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    My name isn’t Andrew. But thanks to @optus I have access to his full name, home address, email address, passwords, contact number, credit card details and other random bits of information. My situation isn’t solved, and now if I was a bad guy, Andrew’s would have been ruined.

    Wtf is a try guy and no I won't google it, I don't wanna be embarrassed in front of the Optus Hacker.

  • 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.

  • ToniCheney ToniCheney (@ToniCheney) reported

    @Optus I have tried calling and been on hold for 30 minutes and the call cuts out before speaking to anyone. I have tried the Optus app messaging tool since 2pm today and have not yet communicated with a human. Tomorrow I am going to cancel every single Optus subscription I have

  • ToniCheney ToniCheney (@ToniCheney) reported

    @Optus @RunnerSA18 Optus you are full of it. No contact no support. Trying to get information for 12 hours no one answers no human contact

  • 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.

  • ChristyDanFan Dan Fan Girl 🤓 Go Dan!🤘🏽🥰 (@ChristyDanFan) reported

    Is Neil Mitchell going to blame Dan for the issues with Optus? Perhaps he should! He blames Dan for everything else. Anything to wind up his gullible Illinformed brainwashed listeners.

  • kelaher Jeremy (@kelaher) reported

    @domknight @Optus Indeed. All about police investigative powers, poorly framed legislation to facilitate it and then eventual abuse of data that as you say was never needed in the first place for the most part. That said - SIM cards sold to more than those that have MyGov account, eg visitors.

  • 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"

  • addingtonbare1 PAddingtonbare1 (@addingtonbare1) reported

    I've never known a better reason to switch to Optus, than when the people who have lied constantly to us for years , try to convince me of otherwise.

  • hugsrgood 💧 🇺🇦Mr Subjective, mostly (@hugsrgood) reported

    @JamesCridland @Optus They had years to fix this well known within the company, mess. Optus pressured LNP against strong data protection laws. #OptusFail They're failing now to handle it. Customers not getting support from them.
