    @Optus the worst service ever!!! Only been with you 5 months, took 3 weeks to change our numbers over, not 4 hours. Didn’t mention putting pins on account so someone took 8k from our account. Now we have a 2k phone bill. Time for the ombudsman!

  • melanie_mogs melanie morgan (@melanie_mogs) reported from Fingal Bay, State of New South Wales

    When @Optus cut off your old phone number, but2 days later haven’t set up the new one, despite calling back into the shop twice. That’s 2 days of not being able to get in touch with kids/school etc starting to wonder whether this was the best network choice. Poor service so far

    Dear @ParamountPlusAU At 12.53pm a tradesmans radio innocently gave away the Socceroos efforts this morning, thereby breaking my media Blackout while waiting for P+ to upload the replay. IMO the app in its current state is not useful for football fans. Please be like #Optus

    @bennya_84 It worked for a lot of the prof. era, but it’s clear now it’s a damaging relationship. Move with the times, like you say. For example. Optus’ streaming service has over 800k subscribers, which i recall is more then double Fox. - more emphasis and alignment on domestic 3rd tier...

  • vaughan_k Ken. (@vaughan_k) reported

    @PeterWMurphy1 @abcnews And this is why there is a #OptusDataBreach? But also #Optus should be investigated for breaches as I was emailed another customer account and their attitude was who cares. @OAICgov #auspol

  • Tama4103 Georgie Sewer Rat (@Tama4103) reported

    @ChrisHeHim1 Is Optus responsible? Yes! Is Optus being fined?? Unsure. Should Optus FIX their MESS? Yep…cough up #OptusDataBreach ….protect your customers and reputation. Cover the cost of new ID for those affected

    @abc730 @ClareONeilMP The Optus fkup proves that privatisation of essential services like this is an EXTREMELY bad idea. What if we were at War and some treasonous oligarch decided it was worth their while selling all our info to the enemy?

  • HimarOclock TimmyTam (@HimarOclock) reported

    Took me ages to understand why the f*ck anyone would give @optus 100 pt. ID docs for a phone service - Crazy! never been asked for that in my life. Then I realised I have always bought phones outright - Optus didn't loan me $$$ for a phone and need docs to prove ID. Phew...

  • BlackGhost41 David C (@BlackGhost41) reported

    Hey OPTUS, My NBN line was cut 2 weeks ago, a technician from OPTUS came, checked our house, and put a call into NBN, still waiting for the line to be fixed, no landline, NOT happy #Optus, even phone calls to the service center says the matter is resolved. I am moving.

    I was an Optus customer for 20 years, left 4 years ago then all my Android contacts vanished on Tuesday. #QandA

  • Efizzy1477 merry🦋 (@Efizzy1477) reported

    @Obedobedo @Optus This people are so annoying. The don't help at all, i suggest you ignore them

  • intrepid144 KerrieC (@intrepid144) reported

    @DeniseBeale Unhappy too, actually that's something of an understatement. I'm a current customer. Generic email about what of my data has been breached. Impossible to engage with Optus customer (non-existent) service. #optusfail #OptusHack Not happy Jan!

  • Latte_Bogan ☕ John B. Latte Sipping Bogan (@Latte_Bogan) reported

    You'd have to be an idiot to sign up to FlyBuys or Everyday Rewards after the Optus debacle? #QandA

  • ACapitalFoot Andrew Foot (@ACapitalFoot) reported

    Everyone piling on Optus atm. And for sure this is a disaster for many. But I've never been in an organisation where human error did not lead to sensitive data being exposed. Maybe just an email sent to the wrong person. Maybe something bigger. Unfortunately human error remains
