Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Newcastle and nearby locations:
-
Greg Blue (@gjblue) reported from Newcastle, New South Wales@Hillysfarms @Telstra I reckon telstra coverage in metro areas is third after optus and Vodafone, its terrible here in Newcastle
-
Alan Hill (@ajhill_alan) reported from Newcastle, New South Wales@perthovalman @kevinperry @TheWorldGame @SBS @ALeague @premierleague @Craig_Foster @LucyZelic A cash-strapped FTA network does its best but has no hope of competing with Foxtel (itself scaling back football coverage in the face of its own financial woes) and Optus. I'd blame the government before pointing a finger at SBS.

Thomas McKenna (@tmacca_1996) reported from Newcastle, New South Wales@Optus @7mate take your ads off appearing as every second one! I will never use your service due to this. Biggest pet peeve, waste of money on your marketing side #idiots #advertising

Shane N. Thompson (@ShaneNatalie) reported from Newcastle, New South Wales@Optus hello, I received spam email this week claiming to be Optus & confirming that I had increased my laptop data usage with Optus. I never increased my data usage. Can you now confirm with me that my laptop/mobile plan hasn’t been changed? Thanks.

Michael (@michaelread1) reported from Newcastle, New South WalesOptus then decided after over 90 mins of explaining myself multiple times to different people on chat, I’d need to wait for a call. That call happened, it was from the wrong department. So they had to transfer me. After 2 hours I got some help. “So what can we do today?” 🤯

Siobhan Curran (@siobhan_curran) reported from Newcastle, New South WalesAs an @optus customer I haven’t received any correspondence regarding the data breach and have no idea if my data has been compromised.
-
Nick Williams (@nickintheworld) reported from Newcastle, New South Wales@a_choros **** Telstra, marry Vodafone, kill Optus... Truth be told I’d prefer to kill Telstra while screaming **** you and have an ongoing FWB with Vodafone and just leave Optus alone
-
Carol Duncan (@carolduncan) reported from Newcastle, New South Wales@joshgnosis I’e tweeted Optus for help/advice, tried online chat twice … nothing.
-
Owen Mansfield (@MansfieldOwen) reported from Newcastle, New South Wales@Optus Worst service I’ve ever recommend. Have been trying to connect NBN. No one in your call centres seem to know what to do.
-
Michael (@michaelread1) reported from Newcastle, New South WalesMy name isn’t Andrew. But thanks to @optus I have access to his full name, home address, email address, passwords, contact number, credit card details and other random bits of information. My situation isn’t solved, and now if I was a bad guy, Andrew’s would have been ruined.

Craig Wilson (@mediahunter) reported from Newcastle, New South Wales@CouchNish I can't even watch it. Optus issues. 😡
-
Sophie Pearse (@SophiePearse) reported from Newcastle, New South WalesI’ve phoned @Optus customer service 3 days in a row and you’ve YET to rectify this issue, despite advising you have. This is incredibly poor form, deplorable in fact 😡
-
Michael (@michaelread1) reported from Newcastle, New South Wales@optus can’t call me and I can’t call them because I don’t have either a business or a personal line. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise. Do we have any options that don’t leak peoples private data to randoms in Australia? How absolutely incompetent and stupid.
-
Reetu Mutti (@ReetuMutti) reported from Newcastle, New South Wales.@TPG_Telecom Trying to port my TPG no from TPG’s Optus to Vodaphone network. Spent countless hrs calling helpdesk every day, talked to supervisiors, waited days for engineers to investigate. Been waiting 20 DAYS, still not working. This is ridiculous. Fix this!!

-
West Ham Fans Australia (@WHUdownunder) reported@villaminium They were absolutely fleecing us towards the end of that spill though… Had a mate who worked at Optus and he said there was hundreds of British customers who were only with them for the football package. Seemed an insanely stupid deal to let go of imo
-
@shadowmaster13@mastodon.social (@shadowmaster132) reported@ThomasDougherty @oscarcsims In the past Optus tried it and failed so bad they had to hand it back to SBS which I think has also made streamers nervous the soccer fantasy in Aus likes the SBS team
-
Love those shoes🌈 ...Yes.... (@DWybar2) reported@optus_help Pointless. I've gone over this many times. It's been like this for a while now. It's leaving Me no choice but to have to move to another carrier. I've shown this to staff at the Bendigo Optus store. "That's pretty ****" were His exact words but NOTHING He could do.
-
Tyoma (@ttyoma_) reported@luckychappy_ What service provider do you use? Optus be giving me ******* cancer and I'm thinking of switching. I'll just keep whatever you use off the list as well 😭😭🙏
-
mkyd (@mickydee42) reported@Teh_Jkr @Optus @Optus my plan started at 50$ now 65$ never asked for an increase
-
Alison Kyteler (@ali_kyteler) reported@Togetherdec Australians can buy a mobile phone without identification but they can't connect to the network to use it without identification. Telcos are collecting & storing vast quantities of personal data. Optus iiNet TPG iPrimus Dodo already breached/hacked. Our Privacy Act is a joke.
-
ChillPilled (@MrGenXGuy) reported@Optus @nachovonbaron I need help. Due to a series of crazy events my foot is stuck in the toilet. What do I do?
-
Optus (@Optus) reported@KalliopiOlympou Hi Weerona, so that we are on the same page, are you facing issues with your Optus home internet connection or streaming the match in general? As we are not broadcasting the FIFA World cup anymore. We don't have the broadcasting rights. If your internet is working fine and it is a streaming issue then you will have to contact SBS or the broadcaster. On the other hand if your are facing issues with your Optus home internet connection, then please send us a direct message with the details to proceed. Kartik

Jeff Murray (@GeminiJ13) reported@eevblog Maybe Optus doesn't want you to leave and stop paying them, even if they are related to the network? I can only assume here that Dodo is less expensive than Optus, and that is the reason for you wanting to migrate.

Rayyan Ahmed (@ruhejanaa) reported@Teh_Jkr @Optus @Optus I have 5 services with Optus and have been a customer for 12 years. My NBN internet has been really poor, yet I’m charged full price with no real offer. As soon as I get time from my busy life, I’ll be switching all my services.
