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

  • nsbeverage Michael Cartwright (@nsbeverage) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Many time @optus but nothing ever gets fixed. Perhaps stop over subscribing your cable pools and it wouldn’t be a problem.

  • theogoh Theo Legowo (@theogoh) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @optus please comment, my colleague next to me is having exactly the same issue, but told to go to an Optus store to sort it out. I’m worried now because I’m porting a number to you.

  • DigitalMediaBoy Carrington Brigham (@DigitalMediaBoy) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Don’t go with @Optus for NBN it takes them 30+ days just to relocate you in the same building. Isn’t that awesome service. Think it’s a case of them being too big too care about their consumers these days.

  • lyng62 Lyn (@lyng62) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Toddy2102 @Optus @NBN_Australia I get well over 90 down speed at the moment and I need it for work.

  • MarkPotten Mark Potten (@MarkPotten) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @telstra so after being on the phone mostly on hold for 1:02:11 making a formal complaint I was hung up on. I still did not receive my complaint reference number. I guess you really do want me to use another telco such as @Optus or @TPG_Telecom

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

    @Optus I sent a DM @7.16am this morning as requested and I still haven’t heard a word from @Optus. Poor customer experience!

  • darthted Ted Tencza (@darthted) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    So @Optus has replied to me, to let me know that "some offers are available to new and re-contract customers only," totally missing the point of my original complaint.

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

    @Optus - could you please provide me with an Australian number to lodge a complaint with my mobile phone billing. I’ve been patient for 3 months dealing with many call centres around the world but still no resolution!

  • gregmw34_greg Greg Williamson (@gregmw34_greg) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus what is the problem with the cable internet in area 2122

  • MarkPotten Mark Potten (@MarkPotten) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    So in another post @telstra have basically admited that they don’t want my business. Or care about customer service. It’s so nice to be a customer these days. @Optus #customerservicefail

  • MarkPotten Mark Potten (@MarkPotten) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra Too late I’m afraid given this issue has been on going since January 31st I should have been a high priority. The actions go to show how @telstra no longer value their customers. @optus

  • murdochsj Scott Murdoch (@murdochsj) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus @australia2 Good luck mate. Seriously the worst customer service company in Australia esp issues around nbn

  • bcg1976 Not for you (@bcg1976) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Spoonyman @tasmaniatalks it works by using any tower. Not just telstra, optus, vodaphone, etc. That's how it improves service for emergency locally. Mainly it's just a work-in-any-country solution as it's a part of the cell phone spec irrespective of provider/country.

  • RozaGermian Roza Germian (@RozaGermian) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus please let your customer know what on earth is going with your internet outage. Contrary to what your website tells people, you’re keeping customers in the dark, not “in the loop”!!!

  • buyersagentssyd Paul Mulligan (@buyersagentssyd) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Shame on @Telstra if you think @Optus is difficult to deal with don’t go to @Telstra. No customer service & an oversees call centre were they can hardly speak English! Try @vodaf

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

    @BrigidWD I'm with OPTUS. 18 years. Never a problem. I flicked TELSTRA after 2 years of poor service.

  • MarkPotten Mark Potten (@MarkPotten) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra In 2-5 days I will be an Optus customer with all my internet home phone mobile *2 and iPad

  • markc Mark Cohen (@markc) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Looks like @optus account login is down - wonder if they use AWS in Sydney too or if it’s coincidence

  • lyng62 Lyn (@lyng62) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Toddy2102 @Optus @NBN_Australia Thats Correct. I rang Optus while the tech was still here and said - do not switch anything over until we discuss the issue of the NBN modem and router being DOWNSTAIRS now when my cable connection comes straight into my office which is UPSTAIRS.

  • davewhittle Dave Whittle (@davewhittle) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Dear: @Telstra the customer service in your George St, Sydney store on Wednesday was terrible. I'm switching after 20+ years to @Optus ❌❌❌❌❌

  • djtastyau Tasty like cheese (@djtastyau) reported

    @swxxii Yes. I've been with optus for 20 years now and it's been a much better experience than being with telstra. Vodafone is pretty terrible in WA. Not many people use it.

  • specialagentlib Sapphira Skye (@specialagentlib) reported

    @JosieJoJo007 @Optus @wade396 Mine's still not working either, using webmail. It been over 30 hours.

  • newcastleboyy Fearless Friend (@newcastleboyy) reported

    Oh goody I should be able to AirPlay from my iPhone to my Apple TV, so don’t require wifi. I should have realised this soon. Looks like I might get to watch some BookTube afterwards. The only problem is 4G is so slow. Get your act together Optus

  • EEnuph EnoughsEnough ☢️💡 (@EEnuph) reported

    @Optus Been doing that for 2 days. I've been in contact during the brief periods my internet works to be told that there's maintenance going on. This was after I'd rec'd a message saying the problem had been fix. I give up. This is a regular occurrence with Optus. Telstra looks good.

  • mcbridea_ Andrew McBride (@mcbridea_) reported

    @Optus Ok thanks. Says a tower is out in my area due to fire damage. Hopefully no one injured and usual service can be restored soon.

  • wade396 Tanya (@wade396) reported

    @Optus is the email issue rectified yet emails still not all coming through

  • WaybackBot Wayback Bot (@WaybackBot) reported

    Optus cracks down on premium paid service

  • memdoooooo ---- (@memdoooooo) reported

    @Optus why are hanging up on me I need technical support but you keep hanging up

  • kw_fw Kris Wallwork (@kw_fw) reported

    @Optus No that’s not correct & no I’m not retreading the steps via twitter. The point is your customer service is poorly managed esp from o/seas. I will navigate the disruption & move providers on return. This was just a review.

  • GoodzieAU Goodzie (@GoodzieAU) reported

    Honestly so done with my internet, tried to switch to Optus 5g n had bad signal from my place, then upgraded my internet n yet still lag out mid stream or game. So demotivating especially when I’m doing so well streaming recently. Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this? <3
