  • DebCansdell 💧 Deb Cansdell 🌱 (@DebCansdell) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @slsandpet @Optus MIL, 94, died in Dec.Found overdue phone bill so we paid it. Had to give them my Credit Card no to pay overdue + following month, then cancel. They then std billing us 4 monthly contract fee. Sent copy of death certificate. Nup..still billing us!

  • DebHoggoz Deb Hogg 📚🐨🦉🏝🌺🙏😝 (@DebHoggoz) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra @stoobii Problems in Sydney too. Outage page can’t be reached. Using Optus 4G because Telstra NBN home service is stuffed in postcode 2222. Not good enough! Got work to do and 4G is not how I want to access secure sites.

  • 4Qpolies David (@4Qpolies) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    I’ve just rung Foxtel to see about opening an account but when I spoke to someone on a line advertised ON A FOXTEL PAGE they tell me I have the wrong number! Profit vs service! #FOXTEL #OPTUS

  • marounnn_ maroun (@marounnn_) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    shoutout to optus for never charging me late fees on my bill, even when i forget to pay it after 3 months @Optus

  • JakePorritt Jake P (@JakePorritt) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @RSBayliss @OptusSport Can we have nothing but LUFCon Optus for the next 24 hours? **** the rest

  • SElizaP 💧 leftwinglunatic Susan B.A. (@SElizaP) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @slsandpet @Optus Optus has the worst customer service I've come across. I would never sign up with them for anything. My mum has her service with them & being 89 she doesn't like change. Its hell if we ever need to report any issues.

  • Jaksuhhn 𝙅𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙨𝙤𝙣 (@Jaksuhhn) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Bro wtf is going on with my data @Optus

    @RozChia I don’t have a choice. Optus doesn’t service this street. They service the street behind us and the streets at either end of ours, but not this one. Was with Telstra 1987-2008* and moved bc they’re useless. Turns out Optus is too but had to come back to Telstra when we came here

  • BeauGiles Beau (@BeauGiles) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @FantaRising Telstra / Optus / Voda changed the way they do plans, now it’s just the outright phone price split over 12/24/36 months, and you pay for the phone plan separately - but you can move the phone plan bit up and down as you need data

  • Matthew_James72 Matthew James (@Matthew_James72) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @optus Hi, are you guy's having problems with email tonight? Email service is only working on a very limited basis, but mostly not able to login at all.

  • beerboy182 BEERBOY (@beerboy182) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @GusWorland I could be wrong. But that possibly gets left like that especially in those leafy areas after storms have brought down non dangerous voltage lines. There’s one near by house from the Optus cable I had to tie up still taped from the February super storms

  • tamsinbirch Tamsin Birch (@tamsinbirch) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @FourRedShoes @Telstra Stay the hell away from Vodafone because the concept of travel, time zones and moving country appears to be beyond them. It took us six months to convince them we no longer lived in UK (therefore they could stop billing us) and we’ve had problems travelling too. Optus seem ok.

  • BMOUSA1 Maurice B (@BMOUSA1) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus I have been without internet since Tuesday. I have called the Philippines 10 times now only to be disconnected, promised a call back (That didn't happen.) Had a technician out on Thursday, couldn't fix the problem. And I'm still waiting for a call back from Tech support.

  • DebCansdell 💧 Deb Cansdell 🌱 (@DebCansdell) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @slsandpet @Optus Yep! This has been awful. She is DEAD, certificate to prove it, mobile phone would not have had any activity since Nov 19. Imagine having to deal with this if it had been the tragic death of a young person. Unconscionable! Optus is evil.

  • 4Qpolies David (@4Qpolies) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Optus is down again! How hopeless! Way to go Turnbull and ScottyFromMarketing’sLNPMurdochRats hopeless Internet, hopeless mature age carers, hopeless corruption and hopeless Internet/Cable/NBN. #OPTUS

  • agarwalnischint Nischint Agarwal (@agarwalnischint) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Hi Team, I'm unable to receive any calls and unable to login to app either to contact support team.

  • BelindaJoy79 Bea, maker of ruckus 🏳️‍🌈✝️ (@BelindaJoy79) reported

    Hey @Optus I have an idea. How about you make the next issue of our bills = $0. That will help make up for the cost of us needing to replace everything!

  • unorig Euan (@unorig) reported

    As an ex-Optus customer involved in their data breach, @optus has ask me to contact them through their app and include my passport or drivers licence to confirm my identity.

  • hutcho66 James Hutcheon (@hutcho66) reported

    @johnb78 @domknight @Optus Just have the telcos submit the identity document number and the phone number to a secure government system. But then if that government system ****** up it would be the government and not Optus in the ****. Mind you they probably would have just covered it up.

  • Fanatic4futball Skarezo Snr (@Fanatic4futball) reported

    @AmyRemeikis That's because they've leaked all their customer's records, everything they ever collected. They never removed old customer records. Optus are lying to us!

  • JasonCadee5 Jason Cadee (@JasonCadee5) reported

    @PeterHooley12 @Optus @OptusSport How’s on top of that my internet has been in and out for 6 week. No change to my bill or anything other then a “sorry” for the outage.

  • davenoosa77 idunno (@davenoosa77) reported

    @domknight @Optus It’s stored because it has value. This here is the problem

  • SmithEssays SMITHESSAYS (@SmithEssays) reported

    Hey, need help with your: ✔essay ✔research paper ✔Term paper Dm me the prompt/Instructions, I’ll write it for you. #APA #MLA I will take or complete your Online Class hw Math Statistics Calc Algebra Trigonometry. Sociology Bio Chem Hist Psych. #optus

  • hutcho66 James Hutcheon (@hutcho66) reported

    @johnb78 @domknight @Optus Or even design a system where the government does the identity check through an online service and issues an "telco ID" number for the telcos to store instead.

  • trentontheradio Trent (@trentontheradio) reported

    @cindyn @Optus As far as I can tell only emails. Those providers who are MVNOs on the Optus network who wanted to confirm they were not impacted apparently txt customers to inform them however.

  • ShazHaitch 🕯💧Shaz H 💉💉💉💉 (@ShazHaitch) reported

    @domknight @Optus There was never a need to store them.
