Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • RaoulPool Raoul Pool (@RaoulPool) reported

    @optus Are your services down in North Sydney? Mobile phones and NBN down for me - no support on live chat, no one picking up phones and no replies to DM! This is unacceptable, a lot of us need to work in a lockdown and getting absolute radio silence. #switchingprovider @Optus

  • sydneyadambuck Adam Buck (@sydneyadambuck) reported

    Is there something wrong with @Optus right now? Our #NBN is unusable and their network outage website keeps timing out in my phone...?

  • Klavinmour Klavinmour (@Klavinmour) reported

    @NBN_Australia Copy and paste responses like this don't help when you're flat out ignoring my statement about the NBN Network being OVERLOADED. I know exactly why my Internet doesn't work, and I also know NBN will NEVER FIX the issue because you refuse to actually build real infrastructure.

  • RaoulPool Raoul Pool (@RaoulPool) reported

    @Optus internet NBN & Mobile network being down has cost me over $50,000 in damages as I cannot work... ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE! How can you treat your customers like this in a lockdown? What is the point of a 4g backup if it is also down?! No customer support at all!!!!!!

  • Nemesis01643467 Nemesis Lol (@Nemesis01643467) reported

    @ALeighMP @ElaineM11584892 $13 BILLION @ScottMorrisonMP - OR: 1. 6+ major hospitals 2. The biggest solar farm & distribution network on earth 3. Fix up the vandalised NBN ++ 4. How many dozen purpose built quarantine facilities 5. Sydney-Melb super fast rail service Instead you gave it to mates & donors.

  • NathBridgewater Nathan Bridgewater (@NathBridgewater) reported

    @optus nbn dead as a door nail in Cronulla. Help! My NBN has the covid!

  • Melissainau Melissa 🎲🎲🎲 (@Melissainau) reported

    @dcapurro Omg. We just got a big speed upgrade; I wonder whether that was the problem. Cautiously, direct cabling from the one Ethernet port in the nbn box might work; going to try that for my work pc at least.

  • AshBurmeister AshBurmeister (@AshBurmeister) reported

    @NBN_Australia is there any way to get an updated resolution time for an unplanned outage? I've already lost a whole day of work to not having internet. Your network outage page doesn't have any information that's useful.
