Optus Outage in Kwinana, State of Western Australia

@Retrogina I use OVO for my internet and it’s great. $65 a month for 100GB. They use Optus. Can cancel it at any time... which I will do when NBN becomes available in May 😊

@miinaus Ohhhhh this makes sense now. They offered to waive a lot of fees to sign me up to a plan with Optus. I didn’t realise they were shutting down Virgin though

@iiNet And no, the new set up isn’t working. I’ve got hundreds of work deadlines and now not even working internet anymore. Wait time for support is hours - I guess it’s hello @Optus #sooooofedup

@Optus @NBN_Australia Day #14 of the NBN service being down. NBN technician visits have been had, concrete has been cut up - still no closer to knowing when my service will be working again! #incompetent #customerservice

NBN told Telstra it was their problem to fix. Now having same problem with Optus.

@Optus You need to fix what ever is happening!!!! No internet or shit speeds for 2 days now fix it before everyone moves to Telstra

@TerritoryGal17 @Optus No. It means they will ask what's going on...why is it taking so long to fix...

Hey @Optus this internet keeps on off after 7pm, fix this issue. I am at Willetton WA

Optus logging me out on my phone app and wanna watch man united. **** sake

Have had no internet connection since Wednesday afternoon.Telstra said would be fixed by Friday25th 4pm! Still not fixed! Have small business to run. Outrageous! Been loyal Telstra customer for 23 years Very poor!Time to move to Optus! @telstra @networkoutage

@Optus after 5 VERY frustrating hours over multiple days wasted with your support- I was told my new apartment wasn't registered with the council- this was why you could not find me. Less than 24 hours after my initial contact with @iiNet I am up and running.A world of difference

@BrianMitchellMP @Galvin1920 @theTiser Forget the $900m that's peanuts. Try the several billion dollars that's been spent acquiring both the Optus & Telstra HFC networks. The Optus HFC was found not fit for purpose. They'll need to be a subsidy to replace the crap in the last mile with fibre.TI #NBN #auspol

@deniseshrivell @Galvin1920 Forget the $900, that's peanuts in the scheme of things. Try the several billion dollars that's been spent acquiring both the Optus & Telstra HFC networks. The Optus HFC was not fit for purpose. They'll need to be a subsidy to replace the crap in the last mile with fibre. TI

Once I’ve finished giving Optus all of my salary, I can’t wait to start saving! (Never use roaming when travelling kids. I never buy one and always regret it afterwards when I have $800 phone bills. Just buy a damn SIM card.

@Pacebouncy That's actually not a bad idea, richo bowled very well in the shield game last week at optus, it wouldn't be such a bad decision/gamble. Even if it's a one hit wonder just for that test

@Ready1976 Great photos Chris! One thing I didn't realise is just how bad the bore water stains on the seats at Subi Oval are. Hope we won't see that at Optus Stadium in years to come🤞

For the love of everything cricket, sunshine Perth and Optus (yes a phone customer too) please choose me!

@6PRbreakfast @OptusStadium Enough with the sunday shit already at optus. Way too many AFL games there on sunday, now odi too. People want to enjoy after the game, not take hours to get home with work next day

Thanks everyone. I spent an hour at @Optus and on the phone to tech support and they haven't been able to fix it either. I have to put my sim in another phone to work out if the issue is with the phone or network.

@Optus Well that sucks.

What a #terrible customer service from @Optus to recharge a prepaid line. We are in 2018 and you have to visit the store twice and call customer support twice to figure out how to do it! #EpicFail

@Telstra i will never order from your stupid website ever again. Nor will I purchase any iPhone from you again. You’re lucky Optus & Vodafone have terrible networks or you would lose all my business #failstra #preorderfail #iphonefail

@Optus waiting over a week to have my iPhone orders processed. Emails telling me you’re working on it. Live chat cannot help. Are u @Telstra in disguise?

@snow_js @AnneSargeant2 @andrewbogut @AFL @PerthStadiumMgt Pretty sure the WA Goverment put its hand its pocket to support the @afl - it’s called Optus Stadium. Fingers crossed we can piss off Victorian supporters that hate the fact the AFL is no longer the VFL

Hey @ticketmaster and @afl - when buying members tickets this morning only a @Telstra Mobile made it possible not once but twice. The work colleagues I recruited to help me using their @VodafoneAU, @Optus and a PC on @NBN_Australia had zero luck. Why so? #afl

@CancerCouncilWA @AshleyReidWA @CityofPerth @OptusStadium @tweetperth @Perth_Today @PerthDailyNews @westaustralian @9Perth @commnewsgroup @abcperth Sorry Cancel Australia they are not Perth land marks they are the Optus Stadium and give it time they will sell the naming rights to bridge as well..On a brighter note congratulations on your 25th

@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.
