Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Sydney and nearby locations:

  • fictillius Evan (@fictillius) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @cenaniangzebi @Optus @Mondyboy The full signal but no connectivity is an iOS 13 bug. The only fix I’ve found is to reboot the phone.

  • nimzmir Nimz (@nimzmir) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Shit Optus ain’t sent my phone. You already KNOW I’m calling up and not paying for my the phone portion of my bill at the end of my month if it ain’t here by then

  • maxymedia Scott Maxworthy (@maxymedia) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Hi, was back an hour or so after post but has been on & off over the last few days. Whatever your techs are doing is very frustrating for us poor customers.

  • Jess_ms Jess (@Jess_ms) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus cutting off all internet with zero notification of NBN cutover date and 1 hour later chat people zero help. Only work from home and studying for masters online. Ombudsman tomorrow, yet again.

  • antonposa Anton Posa (@antonposa) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @AttilaBalassa It's quite a responsibility to get it right. Optus has the EPL over here but they do a pretty decent job. Still sucks when you're paying for Foxtel though and can't get some of the best sport.

  • eastuto Eugene of Astuto 🤔 (@eastuto) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    So how's this for next level bad customer service. @Optus sends a warning notice that services will be restricted of we don't pay $270. Never seen the account number. Wife was on phone every day last week. They couldn't say what it related to. Couldnt provide copy of a bill.

  • hitinman Just Davo (@hitinman) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Using Aussie Broadband now but it is #NBN that is the problem. Never had any dramas with Optus HFC cable

  • fictillius Evan (@fictillius) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @cenaniangzebi @Optus @Mondyboy This happened to me on Vodafone during beta testing. On iOS 12 I had so much trouble with Telstra’s network going deaf I moved to Vodafone and it has been fine apart from some beta issues.

  • SarahHurc Sarah Hurcombe (@SarahHurc) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Terrible mistake from @Optus - they made us @TwoTalesCafe switch to NBN last week and changed our number without telling us and we’ve only just found out - really crappy stuff for a long weekend when people will call us to find out if we’re open!!!! Sort it out @Optus

  • nimzmir Nimz (@nimzmir) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Shit Optus ain’t sent my phone. You already KNOW I’m calling up and not paying for the phone portion of my bill at the end of my month if it ain’t here by then

  • SarahHurc Sarah Hurcombe (@SarahHurc) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Honestly @Optus we have had the worst customer experience @TwoTalesCafe with you the last few weeks + particularly the last few days - your failure to take responsibility + resolve this has been shocking to experience. It’s always been someone else’s fault within the organisation

  • vijayarumugam Vijay Arumugam (@vijayarumugam) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @BigKev67 @vipinbjain Interestingly, Rose Bowl, Bellerive and WACA / Optus are the three venues with poor Test crowds, although Gabba has had some poor crowds of late as well. #savsInd #INDvsSA

  • laurenjcapelin Lauren Capelin ⚡️ (@laurenjcapelin) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @annie_parker @slace @Telstra It’s so bullshit. Optus just as bad and it takes up to 48 hrs for it to let you know you’ve hit your limits. In this real time world that is criminal I reckon.

  • maxymedia Scott Maxworthy (@maxymedia) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Come on @Optus our broadband has been down now for over three hours!!! 🤯

  • officialdanek Danèk (@officialdanek) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    So I don’t know whose at fault, but my data is on but works like 5% of the time. Even turn my phone off for a bit and back on won’t help! @Apple @Optus

  • MikePearsall93 Mike Pearsall (@MikePearsall93) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @juzzyjuuice @Optus As bad as Optus is I reckon they're the best of a horrible bunch. Just tried a different co for internet and went crawling back to them cause they were that shite.

  • Maserazif ماسيراظيف (@Maserazif) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    $41 for 105gb of data is insane. Only Optus can do it. Malaysian Telco companies could never

  • p_terg 🔥₽๎ᝤᶒя ᶢ ᶃเ𐤄𐤄ᦳ𐌏ᠡ💧 (@p_terg) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Nope. Call dropped out at Eveleigh. One of them is trying again. I hope this one is with Optus bc their service is crap beteeen here and Homebush.

  • EICostheta Reg Boyle (@EICostheta) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @SaveOurForests_ That Victorian brown coal power station was owned by carpetbagging French. Should NEVER have been built and none of those Elect suppliers say where they're based. Optus is Singapore. Telstra did no one any favours.

  • eastuto Eugene of Astuto 🤔 (@eastuto) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    They even said that they had the wrong birth date on the system for that account. Now today internet slows down to Alphalink level dial up speed. 👋👋👋 Well done @Optus on making 20 yr long customers feel special.

    @PeitaTweets I'm on a long expiry pre paid plan with Catch Connect. It's on the Optus network, cost $120 and gives 120gb for 365 days. Paying off my near $100 pm post paid Optus phone plan and going to this deal was the best decision ever.

  • LoneNeisz Neisz Lone Wolf (@LoneNeisz) reported

    @Optus can you please employ people on your customer service on your App that can comprehend English?? I have 15 mins explaining that the question I asked 3 hours ago is ok now. This isn't the 1st time I've had similar issues.

  • Itsrustyruss Rusty (@Itsrustyruss) reported

    @_Dans_World @mikjcal Is this why Optus is down?. 😝
