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

  • wheelyweb Joe Ortenzi 🇨🇦 🇮🇹 🇦🇺 (@wheelyweb) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @craigthomler @stilgherrian If I understand it right it’s an Optus CUSTOMER human error or an Optus EMPLOYEE human error. Either way, it’s an Optus company problem and responsibility.

  • BJssoR Ben Ross (@BJssoR) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @empressbat @trevorlong @Optus I can’t wait to leave them to be honest. Worst of days when they cancelled manual payment on hills

  • Rebeccagillmor4 Rebecca gillmore (@Rebeccagillmor4) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Not sure whats happening or the phone Tower work in my area but I have been having some problems my 5g has been out for hour or less for 4 nights now... #optus

  • miracleboi Alex Dennis🏳️‍🌈🇦🇺 (@miracleboi) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus I have tried to call your call centre re the hack to see if my info being a former customer and my mum's account still being an active customer was compromised but your call centre is closed. This shouldn't be the case and a dedicated team/number should be available 24/7

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

    In the last week or so, I’ve been getting 4-5 spam calls per day. Previously they happened once a month or so. Wonder if it’s got to do with me being an Optus customer and their massive data breach… which I’m still waiting to hear if I’m a part of

  • just_brash Justin Brash 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇦🇺🍸📷🐱 (@just_brash) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @hammocklyfe @Optus I’m a current customer. But might not be by the end of the day.

  • just_brash Justin Brash 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇦🇺🍸📷🐱 (@just_brash) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @southwin28 @Optus I’m still waiting but have discovered Vodafone has a better offer. If Optus wants to keep me as a customer they will now have to match Vodafone

  • stinger881 Stinger881 (@stinger881) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus @RunnerSA18 Why did you not encrypt the customer data table in Teradata? Kelly Bayer Rosmarin is not fit to be CEO. Her track record with the Banking Royal commission at CBA proves she is absolutely incompetent, along with Ian Narev!

  • GT_AUS Graeme T (he/him)💉x 4😷 - 🌳🌲🌴🌵 (@GT_AUS) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @wyvernsrose @sassycarrie From my years with them, dropped a few years ago, I have zero confidence Optus has any idea at all the extent of the hack. Utterly incompetent at customer service, technical support, the lot.👎😡🤬

  • NoNotChris My Name Is Christian. (@NoNotChris) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Seriously Optus?! WTF!

  • just_brash Justin Brash 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇦🇺🍸📷🐱 (@just_brash) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Current & former Optus customers have had their data stolen. It begs the question, why does Optus keep former customer’s data? #optusfail

  • miracleboi Alex Dennis🏳️‍🌈🇦🇺 (@miracleboi) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Yes I get that but it does state on your FAQ's regarding the situation to call and that's the issue - you can't which is absolutely poor performance. Can you confirm when contact will occur as in how many days or weeks till I potentially find out being a former customer?

  • Sterg_G13 Sterg13 (@Sterg_G13) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Does Optus Sport streaming look crap for EPL?

  • IaenCordell Iaen Cordell (@IaenCordell) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Well Optus does have a 3G outage, maybe they should update the web-site.

  • MimiBlueMtns Margaret Williams (@MimiBlueMtns) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Who else has problems receiving netcodes via SMS due to little or no mobile coverage in your area? Frustrating. #Optus #BlueMountains

  • IaenCordell Iaen Cordell (@IaenCordell) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @send2mc @trevorlong Yes, I also am having Optus email issues. No point ringing up as the lines are already blocked up with people worried about the data breach, remember don’t shoot the messenger even if they are in a OS call centre.

  • FlyOpineMonkey Sir Darryl Adams (@FlyOpineMonkey) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @AbstractCode @NewtonMark @Optus To be fair, they have a female CEO to issue apologies and polish the **** the board and company have created.

  • GT_AUS Graeme T (he/him)💉x 4😷 - 🌳🌲🌴🌵 (@GT_AUS) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @CaraMia200 @strangerous10 Has any @Optus customer on here received any direct communication from them yet?

  • debkasmar Deb Kasmar (@debkasmar) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Hello @Optus can you please explain when I go on to check an outage it says “we’ve identified a fault which means customers in the area may have no access to internet etc” but when I go on the help line they tell me there is no outage 🤔

  • GT_AUS Graeme T (he/him)💉x 4😷 - 🌳🌲🌴🌵 (@GT_AUS) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @RichardKGrump Couple of IT peeps on RN just a moment ago. Of opinion real internal system problems given what Optus has said. 🤔 Real = should NOT have happened as a result of poor system/s.

    @KyleKershaw28_ Hey Kyle, sorry to hear you experienced some delays. If you experience this again, please send us a DM with your Optus Sport login email and we'll take a look. Sarah

  • markwa1ker Mark Walker (@markwa1ker) reported

    @chriscowa @dano606 I run one of those big boy post-paid Optus phones to support Chaz.

  • melatonii andrew (@melatonii) reported

    @robgreenwood1 Every other sport steaming service manages it. Optus, Kayo, nba nhl and so on. On demand viewing (watching from start or not having to wait 16 hrs for them to put it up) is the number 1 selling point for me and should be a priority. P+ absolutely not worth the money currently

  • pearce_jsa James (@pearce_jsa) reported

    @Optus is there an outage around Altona/Footscray/West Melbourne? Sitting at H+ network speed...

  • ross_hopkins Ross Hopkins (@ross_hopkins) reported

    @sR0hit @OptusSport Did either of you ever receive any help? I’ve recently purchased a tv with Google TV and can’t play anything on the Optus Sport app. I even hear the opening titles for a second before the dreaded “The video cannot be played” error appears

  • RedJules4 Jules The Red 🐀 (@RedJules4) reported

    @angi_grace @Optus Are you north-west? There’s a particular tower up here that has significant issues getting it back on line. Severe outages. Frustrating.

  • J1Mboss J1MBOSS (@J1Mboss) reported

    @Optus not sure what shady practices you're teaching your store sales people. One of your sales people have flat out lied to me to get me to sign up to a plan with them and are now refusing to rectify the issue.

  • Dan_Nolan_1 Dan Nolan (@Dan_Nolan_1) reported

    @Optus You are an awful company . You …. Grrrrr

  • TheDofflin_ Marcus (@TheDofflin_) reported

    @pixelsmixel Optus 5G. I get about 300-400Mbps down and 80 Mbps up
