Optus Outage

@Optus Can't seem to ping 104.17.136.89 (an IP Address owned by Cloudflare) on Optus network, works on Telstra and Vodafone.

Starting to wonder what I pay @Optus for as it's clearly not for a internet connection, since moving into my house what had cable I thought yay good connection, wrong all I've ever had is at best 12Mbps dwn avg and routine connection issues like right now

@Ambiguous_Andy @Optus Nothing to do with customer demand. It’s somehow cheaper for them to cut it.

@Be_Busta @Optus @Telstra Yep, you never see it on the news when Christians are murdered by these extremists. Or in the US, if you are a straight white individual no one is going to care what happens to you. If you support the wrong side it totally fine for you to be attached physically or otherwise.

@Emilywion91 @Optus @Telstra That's the problem here though. If we begin censoring where does it end. There are not objective rules here, it's all subjectively applied. And this makes it so dangerous.

@Emilywion91 @Optus @Telstra Yea, it's the same here in Aus. People are being threatened with legal action by the state if they share the video... The thing about all of this I find incredibly hypocritical is that when it's Christians being murdered the state has no issue. Christians are THE most persecuted.

@alegareecomms @Optus I used to get similar, the sad thing is that I'm just getting constant drop outs, I try not to complain, I'm not getting what I've paid for though. Optus have admitted that I'll never get a full hundo, but I should be getting 97.7 Mbps.

@TonyHWindsor @AndrewCatsaras Down my street we had Telstra HFC, optus HFC and Telstra copper. NBN bought the optus HFC which they have decommissioned. The have decommissioned the copper. We now all share the one testra HFC for internet, Foxtel and phone...this used to be called fraud.

@JimPanzee63 @Optus Service is awful!

@Mallencoops @Optus Looks like 2218 affected - terrible all week. Worst service ever

@Optus provide the worst service when you have NBN. In fact no service. I wish I had never chosen them, try someone else.

@Optus We use 4G modems all over the country. Not a fan of Telstra but get around 45MB/sec down on their’s. On Optus ones, typically get 2 to 8Mb/sec and told “it’s normal” on supposedly uncapped service.

@nickmon1112 Optus Australia our 2nd biggest IP has a ban on 4chan, 8chan etc.. and it's a hard IP based block, so changing your DNS won't help. you'll need a VPN or external AU proxy to get to it

@A_Tass1 @Telstra @acccgovau @ACurrentAffair9 I've been through exactly the same, took weeks and then disabled the functionality of printers. They wanted me to purchase "Platinum" subscription to fix that! Optus even worse for gouging - merits of a duopoly

@hidflect @TheMurfDawg @niremas It’s not the government, get a grip. I have accessed Zero Hedge from Optus 4G, Telstra Home’s ADSL, TPG broadband office regularly over the past 48 hours. BTW, ZH is still publishing the same mix of mostly crap with a smattering if useful as always. You ain’t missing much

@Huw_Merlin The Gabba exchange is a huge building, handles everything. Probably about 15 floors of full on tech gear. The optus outage page specifies each type of service that's affected. Cable is effected in a huge arc from what I can see, so must be working in the main exchange-w/gabba.

@Optus the worst provider in Australia. 5th day trying to reconnect service with disabled family member at home.

@MoFoQ >telstra like money, optus like money, they do the bare minimum when pressured by external groups, they never send forward antip2p trash, and they have a good track record to how they run the service >any third party ISP will always **** their customers over

@MoFoQ some things to say, >nz is mad as hell pressures aus IPs to block sites that help expose media narrative >telstra in particular, and possibly optus [2 main non third party ISPs] blocked sites, however they know that people who have more than a few brain cells use another dns

@Hdough78 @IcacPersistance @janer98 @SensibleUnderp1 @MeckeringBoy They did that in response to Optus to kill off that HFC rollout. Telstra having both infrastructure and retail was the main issue and that they only offered to do a fttn network if they could set the access prices for competitors

@cravedrawings @Optus @Telstra Right, banning the flow of information. Like I said, it's playing precisely into this guys hands. Perhaps not as bad as I first thought, but still pretty unhelpful nevertheless.

@HyperionPlays @domino_jack @NateBramley yeah when i stream i use my 4G data, and then my Optus cable for gaming. keeps latency down

@Optus It was after 6 PM! @Optus tel system just advised that they close at 6 PM. Joseph, the guy that put me on hold did not call back. Did nothing! Unbelievable! Worst of the worst.

@Huw_Merlin Cable at the moment, since 1999 va optus. It's all hooked up fine & tests for a signal. Even took the cable back off to check the spike hadn't bent.

@Optus no imagine you have a maybe 1 hour window in which you can do an update to this particular app and something fails well waiting 20/45mins to upload the fix

@yodaberg @Optus I’ve had alot of problems with them lately & the only thing that worked was going into a store. Chat is probably the next most helpful & you can get a transcript of what they’ve promised to action.

@StormiFolf Since I’m Australian and not American, AT&T doesn’t exist in my country. What Australia does have though network wise is: Telstra (previously known as TeleCom Australia), Optus and Vodafone (which is British and it operates in Oceania, Africa, Asia and Europe).

Hey @optus if you're gonna block sites can we cancel our contracts or get a reimbursement for a partial service

@Optus Hello. My home internet connection has been down for 3 days, I cannot use Wifi at home. The online chat did not work for me because I cannot reach out to the technician at all! I need help with this.

@yodaberg @Optus It’s pretty sad that in Australia we don’t get to pick service providers based on who is the best, but more based on who isn’t going to **** us around the most 😐 so far my research has been inconclusive as to which provider that actually is.

@Optus But so very very slow.

@Optus very upset , 1st - on 27th my number was ported without my knowledge 2nd- after reporting while I was on roaming overseas my number ported again ( what a joke) 3rd -Optus sent me bill for breaking contract and send me $1749 bill. No Proactive action & worst security SHAME

@Sort_Dragon @Optus You did say it was NBN that’s got nothing but problems. I know an address that’s been told it can connect twice so far in 2016 & 2018 but it’s now waiting until 2020 again.... and yet I’ve had it at home for many years under fttp.

That moment when @Optus sends you a sms telling you your nbn is connected. And tells you just to connect your optus nbn modem and login using the order number. Except for the fact they never sent me a modem even after asking them. And got no sms's or mails with an order nmr.

@yodaberg @Optus I used to have @Optus until I discovered their customer service is actually run by Voldemort

@taximals Thats pretty stupid. And i imagine because its optus owned cable, you couldn't go through anyone else huh

Just when I thought @Optus was finally doing right by me their inept customer service staff had to go wreck everything again. Guess I’ll be changing mobile providers.

@MisterNormie nah this was optus. they wouldn’t give us the service because of something like they don’t offer new customers cable services because they only offer nbn now. so we had to wait for nbn even tho we have cable to our unit....i dunno it was some bs that made no sense

@MikeCarlton01 NBN was going to be closed and broken up into main backbone and telco assets. Because of discovery the sale was halted. It would have taken down Telstra and Optus and crashed entire communication market. It may be bad NBN but it’s better than the alternative, disaster averted.

Pro tip: If you ever want to hate your human existence, just order an iPhone from @Optus online! They will make sure you REALLY regret ever clicking that BUY button. Worst customer experience of my lifetime and any chance of resolution shielded by many layers of "support" teams.

@Optus failing at customer service again. 37min waiting to talk to tech who says he needs to transfer me to a different department thencold dumps me into another queue... now over an hour. Thanks

@Deligracy It's already an issue and a cost to redo. Why they bought an old Optus copper network is beyond me

@Optus Banning websites that I as an adult may choose to view content from under no pretext is a very slippery slope. Been a customer for years but will switch when contract is up.

@ThatsBrad_TV Still waiting on Playstation Now tbh. And it's fitting that the announcement came today, while I'm confined to mobile data because Optus decided that the service that I pay for should just go down for.... 12 hours and counting.

@yodaberg I switched to Aldi Mobile a few months ago and I've had no problems at all. Half the price of my old Virgin contract (who wanted to move me on to a new deal with their 'good friends' at Optus) and more GB than you can shake a stick at. Check it out.

@MadelineHayman @Optus @VodafoneAU I just one one provider who can provide everything (decent home internet, mobile etc) and give me one bill to pay. That's it. I'm so broken.

@Optus No, the service is going to be out until Friday we have been told.

@MikeCarlton01 Thanks Rudd/Gillard Labor Gov for appointing Stephen Conroy & creating the NBN instead of awarding the contracts to Telstra or Optus etc. WORST decision ever

@Optus I tried to express why not being informed of the appointment was a problem but your call centre staff didn't seem to understand.

Hey @Optus thanks for telling me what I can and can’t view, I was under the impression I could make my own decisions and have freedom, silly me! I thought that blocking an entire website because some users post horrific content was a stupid idea, but daddy Optus knows best

@Telstra and @Optus blocking sites like 4chan.... Using that logic you should block all forums. Cancelling my service. Super expensive for what is supposed to be a premium service

@THE1975HAN Like 3/4 of it! Optus didn’t believe me and it’s taken like 2 months! I’ve still put in a complaint cause their customer service was awful and I only got back about $600 of the $900 I paid over that time!

@AussieWarriore1 @Optus @VodafoneGroup Holy shit, I don't even want to engage you in an argument, people have lost there lives, parents will never see there children, kids have lost there parents, and you have the audacity to call it fake, I sincerely hope you rot in hell with the shooter, you disgust me ******* freak

@adamseconomics Zero hedge website is definitely blocked by @Optus. SHAME Optus for controlling access to view specific websites on your #OptusMobile and #OptusHomeInternet services. TERRIBLE customer experience!! #ISPBlock #Fascism #Optusism #OptOut

@chunkymale @AlexSaundersAU @Telstra @Optus @VodafoneIN @zerohedge If you consider a cult as being a bunch of tech geeks that realize the internet is the one inherent weakness all crypto has and other things we take for granted such as free speach and freedom of information. Have built and put together a buch of electronics to help everyone. Yes

@Optus I was hoping to talk to people about the poor WiFi on this modem. And I was interested in getting a fetch mini. But it all is too hard. I don’t have hours to waste

@Optus Thanks Wes, I did get through yesterday and I think the problem was solved.

I’m just pissed that I can’t go to my pornography site of choice to relieve myself. It’s 3am and I can’t ******* sleep. **** @iinet @optus

**** you @iinet @optus for censoring a website because some mentally ill person shot up a mosk, just **** you. Go ahead and block Facebook while you’re at it that’s where he live-streamed the whole thing. Pathetic companies

@AlexSaundersAU @Telstra @Optus @VodafoneIN @zerohedge I am with Telstra NBN and my Internet service is blocking me from accessing ZeroHedge, 4chan, 8chan and LiveLeak.
