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

  • Sighmaan Simon Nguyen (@Sighmaan) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @rinseenrepeat @Optus Heads up...it just happened again following the heavy rain. If it isnt fixed tomorrow be ready to do this day ALLLL over again and still achieve nothing, until the issue is fixed by itself.

  • DC_GSHealth Daniel Chanisheff AZx2 Pfizerx1 (@DC_GSHealth) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Had to restore my phone. My goodness it’s annoying. Esim needs visit to @Optus store to activate. My phone is the after hours number for patients and pathology. I also didn’t realise #googleauthenticator can’t transfer over. That’s my bad I guess.

  • BMOUSA1 Maurice B (@BMOUSA1) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus The network status page says my house doesn't have an outage. How can I expect it to be fixed if you don't know the outage exists?? And no one will answer the phone so I can't report the outage...

  • SeeBigg Christian Biggins ✌🏻 (@SeeBigg) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Omfg the frustration in trying to close my final @Optus account over the past half an hour has been totally infuriating and making it so clear why I need to be with a different service. This is ****. I just want to close my account!

  • ultraman_tae Mr.Ultraman Taro (@ultraman_tae) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    I've been using it for 4 months, but I've been suspended 2 times for unknown reasons and no paid balance. The staff couldn't help me. So I lost more than 1 week of usage. @Optus

  • JApotsis Yi.\nni (@JApotsis) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus 56mins on the phone trying to get Tech Support. Call is terminated as I get through. Get hanged up on when I call back. Taken a day off work to fix internet connection problems. Wanna help or??? 🙄🤨

  • PMASydney Peter Alorati (@PMASydney) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus @gauldilocks Same calling the UK network congestion issue

  • BMOUSA1 Maurice B (@BMOUSA1) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    People keep wondering why Aussies fall for these telemarketing scams it's because it's so difficult to get in touch with @Optus technical support I'm willing to give my details to anyone who calls me pretending to help fix my internet.

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

    @hganjoo153 2018-19 in Australia was on flat wickets, except a bit of life at Optus. Adelaide Oval was a day Test. MCG was very flat and slow. How was it challenging?

  • REDRAWRADIO RedRaw Radio (@REDRAWRADIO) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus trying to email you but like so many orgs these days you make yourself uncontactable Q: what is the issue with your network at Goolwa SA? It’s been unusable since 3:23 Fri 25/3 thru to 12:26 yesterday. Appears to occur regularly so what’s going on there @senbmckenzie

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

    Hey @Optus - NBN modem issue, flashing red light and clicking, used ‘Message Us’ in app and for booted told to call 133937, but recorded message there saying to use app! What am I supposed to do to get tech support?? No internet, no home phone!!

  • KelvinGonzlez_ Kelvin González (@KelvinGonzlez_) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Hi @Optus I'm having issues with Optus line? Some numbers strangely disconnected and my internet its so slow. 😐🤨

  • hugobrown Hugo | Colours Bring Smiles | 🇳🇿 🇦🇺 | 🇺🇦🌻 (@hugobrown) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Again another week of maintenance interruptions in the Oatley area. Like honestly how bad can these workers\contractors be @Optus they didn't finish the work 2-3x of week long maintenance interruptions we've had recently. I'd understand if you speed actually changed or 5G

  • scottcarr1984 Scott Carr (@scottcarr1984) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus my internet service has been out for 3 hours can you let me know what's going on, I'm in east of Sydney.

  • BMOUSA1 Maurice B (@BMOUSA1) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus you guys just hang up on people after being on hold for an hour? Internet has been down all morning and it's easier to get a call with the prime minister than to get through to you guys.

  • Boatyboy1 Boatyboy (@Boatyboy1) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @DoctorKarl On Foreshore and Botany Rd areas of Botany, my phone just doesn't want to connect to anyone. Can see many KM across the bay, but nothing works. Optus network.

  • bikramjitgill2 ਬਿਕਰਮਜੀਤ ਸਿੰਘ ਗਿੱਲ (@bikramjitgill2) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus your support team is useless, I have transferred 4 times in same chat, all of them have asked same question name, contact number, account information. If your support team working from home, they are sleeping look like. And in the end this is not concerned department....

  • vicrollison Dr Queen Victoria 💧🐀 (@vicrollison) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @myronmy9 @Tiger2047 @Optus Yep. So there isn't actually a 'contract' - which is both great meaning you can leave at any time without paying a stupid penalty - and not great when they can change plans and prices as they like with at least 30 days notice

    @chozari @BriarBush We left Telstra@our 1st KP address & had to come back at this address bc Optus doesn’t service our street.. services all the other streets around it but not this one … their service doesn’t suck anymore but it took 2-3mo to get the service up to speed! And lots of whinges here!

  • troydodds Troy Dodds (@troydodds) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Another day, another @VodafoneAU outage (ongoing for 6+ months now). If you live in Penrith, don't touch Vodafone or @Optus (the primary network). You'd be better off with a carrier pigeon.

  • traindriverrev Glenn F (@traindriverrev) reported

    Thanks @Optus for disconnecting my 5G home broadband connection while I was on the middle of an ssh-based terminal edit of an important fix. Translation: that’s an hour of my life I won’t get back

  • GeorgeGatsios George (@GeorgeGatsios) reported

    @Optus phoned up Optus yesterday to log a fault with my nbn box making a clicking noise and not having phone and internet. This is the 2nd time this has happened. Was told I would have a technician sent out to me today between 8am to 12pm. NOBODY came. Very poor customer service.

  • deren_sydney Crpyto Bro (@deren_sydney) reported

    Optus network down again????

  • RachelK08147664 Rachel Knight (@RachelK08147664) reported

    @observer234588 @_ClaireConnelly Click and collect also extended to phone service during Melb lockdown. I rang Optus and discussed my needs, for what I wanted. They texted me photos, then I did contactless click and collect. It’s possible.

  • brazilianboy3 💧🐨🌳💚😷 Edi (@brazilianboy3) reported

    @OptusSport I want to watch the #closingceremony not fair shoving us with commercials if we pay to have this service, give us all of it, such a bad channel Optus… F_ck!

  • jet_vortex Jason Deacon (@jet_vortex) reported

    @Optus Hey Optus, since yesterdays issue, I have not been able to send or receive texts, have powered down the phone etc..

  • Jettaboyyy_ Jetta (@Jettaboyyy_) reported
