Optus Issues Reports

Emergency&BushfireKits (@EmergencyBK) reported
@peterwalker58 @ARealJourno A bank is not a social media network. Optus & Medicare both hacked just in the last month & compromised millions of just Australians data -mine included. Many anonymous aren’t trolls, it’s for their safety. There’ll be no appetite to give more data to anyone, let alone Musk.

@MayneReport Proxy advisors, investors. lol. Optus are owned by the Singapore government. Why are you 'jounalists' so averse to contextualising this? Ie. that an essential service is owned by a foreign authoritarian regime? Never mentioned by any media outlet. Not one. Ever. Why is that?

@white_owly I’ve spent about 15 unsatisfactory hours talking to Optus customer service. People act more like bots than any bot. Not hearing the real issue, repeating scripts, reading scripts at all the wrong times, saying nothing can be done and out of their control until they finally can

@Optus what’s happening with the mobile service in the St Clair/Woodville SA area?

Optus are refusing to reimburse customers who have replaced id documents after Optus allowed hackers to steal personal information. What are you doing to fix this and hold Optus to account, as they clearly don't care about customers! @ClareONeilMP @AlboMP #auspol @MRowlandMP

If you have an optus broadband service you can donate data to people less fortunate, I know a First Nations person struggles to apply for job due to no internet connection, I have helped her by giving her a limited service , please donate even the labor Gov have not offered this

@Optus CS is so frustrating. All we want is to get our home internet fixed the soonest yet they only keep on suggesting restarting and resetting the modem when there’s no issue with our hardware 💩💩💩 Gone are days when requesting a technician visit was one call away.

@autumnfall098 No problem is idts Perth assists Bhuvi / Harshal at all. Arshdeep will go well and Shami if he doesnt bowl like a spraycan, else he will travel round the ground. And playing only 3.5 pacers (one of which is Bhuvi / Hrshal) at Optus inspires some confidence for SA for me

@ServiceNSW And how do I work out if they have been. @optus communication is so bad it’s full of PR with no way of finding this actual info!?

@Telstra I'll believe it when I see it. In the meantime, I'm going to crucify you on twitter using my @Optus mobile connection. You sell this service as a great broadband replacement. People need to know what they're actually going to get.

@vincent_wales @LynAldenContact And 10m Optus accounts, 225000 medilab accounts ( patient records, credit cards and cvc, Medicare details, mobile numbers, bank account details). Fines will be levied- but what about the customer? These details should be deleted after onboarding customer

@Optus Sony tv app. Found it by going to the left menu and selecting live, but it wasn’t an option within the premier league section and it’s an ongoing issue. Wasn’t on the carousel either. Never is. Simple coding ca. solve this
