Is Optus having an outage in Newcastle, State of New South Wales?

@ACMilanSydney @G73020484 I pay $20 a month for beINConnect and $15 for Optus Sport. I have rarely had issues with streams and Optus sport, overall package and highlights, is very good. ESPN+ package sounds amazing in the US, unfortunately not offered in Australia. Frustrating that I can’t watch Aleague

@Optus Well done support person. As I predicted, you disabling my data stopped the chat session we were having to try and fix my service.

Ahh @Optus useless as per usual. Tried to get some information, but of course an unplanned outage. "Try again in 24 hrs." However, Roslin in live chat was pleasant to deal with. So there's a plus. There usually isn't any positive to be had.

@chriskkenny @Telstra No but im having Telstra trouble on @Telstra phone line. I swapped mobile to optus cos Telstra was down so often in my area

@Optus Looks like there’s another outage. :(

@Optus after 30+yrs, recently moved from @VodafoneAU. Rec'd usage alert, followed the link to view details that forced me to install yr stupid app that didn't give me my usage. Used chat to find out why I couldn't access usage from web or app. ..../1

@optus - As a (forced) migrating Virgin customer, to make me call your OS call centre to be asked personal details about my birth cert and lic num for no reason (my fiance didn't have to). You've lost two customers. We just don't trust you. You had our virgin details already.

@CORINNEPOWELL You're too flash Coz! I got mine with Optus. In fairness $30 is about £15 so still not bad value!

@optus internet is down again in Vermont South 3133 was down last night also. When is it coming back.

@Optus can ping gateway from an external host so it’s definitely something between the modem and the gateway or one of the two being broken

@Optus Looks like it’s not just DNS but port 53 being open, I can SSH to hosts on that port, either there is a misconfigured firewall or my service is disabled for some reason and this is how they do it

@Optus Modem has network access, has an optus internal ip in the 10.55.x.x range, my router has a public ip (from DHCP) and a default gateway, i can ping the modems internal address, i can’t ping the gateway, and i can’t access anything other than DNS

@Optus The problem is that it's intermittent so it's really hard to talk to someone online when it could be fine at that moment. It's so bad I have to connect my laptop to my mobile so I can work, which I do at home.
