Optus 4G pull down 1-3 mbit in some areas and .5 in others. Optus 5G non existent. Friend on Telstra can get 20 mbit on 5G in some parts and 3G in others. Apartment wifi gets around 10 mbit in some places but 1 mbit at the TV so can’t stream anything on it lol.

@Optus @RunnerSA18 I haven’t been a customer of Optus for more than 3 years. What the hell are you doing still having my details on your servers. You are obviously hungry for personal data. My data in particular should have been deleted from your severs. Why are you keeping non-customer data?

@RebelNews_AU if we had a digital ID system before the optus hack, then our digital ID's would be in the hands of the hackers, making a bad situation far worse.

@sammyjcomedian Sammy was still smiling. Sadly this is close to the truth it's not at all absurd. Yet we pay so little for those who serve us. They cop the crap from poor management decisions. Hey @Optus have you not heard of reputational damage?

@Jonatho43827873 @PoliBard I call bullshit. I think Optus quickly paid the ransom and kept it on the down low. Anything after is just noise. How they going to really catch something through the dark web?

@PeterKlages NBN only offer satellite service where we are, near Dorrigo NSW. Average annual rainfall 2 metres, this YTD 2.6 mts, fog days 365 (kidding). Luckily we pick up a 4G Optus signal from 17 kms away, squeezing through the hills and gullies.

It is not a solution to a mass data breach to increase the sharing of personal data from the public to private sectors without the consent of the owners of that data. #optus

Optus to give customer data to the banks without having to hack it.

And all i wanna say is **** @optus. All my accounts with you have now been terminated and never again. The way you dealt with this is bullshit and the fact is, this NEVER should have happened in the first place. #OptusHack #OptusDataBreach #OptusBreach

@VultureCapital1 I don’t want to but I’m not sure that it’s helpful to not pay it. I’ve arranged to port our NBN business service and I’ve changed to prepaid plans with Aldi Mobile and cancelled my and my husband’s mobile services with @Optus. I think this is the best option to express my anger.

Is Optus providing a way for customers to easily identify if they were part of the breach? I was a customer about 15 years ago, how far back are we talking?
