Optus Issues Reports Near Melbourne, State of Victoria

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

  • j_foreigner jonnyforeigner (@j_foreigner) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Optus are currently paying ~$50m/year for the EPL streaming rights and charge $15/month to subscribers. Now not everyone pays that fee (I never have), but let’s assume that every mobile customer’s monthly bill has that subscription built in and funds go towards content

  • juleshughan Julia Hughan (@juleshughan) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus Infrastructure issues. Good to know we are still being charged for videos that won’t render.

  • DeanRosario Dean Rosario (@DeanRosario) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @ThatSkiMaskGuy Watched Rakuten a couple of times. Pretty poor quality. Final match when Ange won the title the server was overloaded so I couldn't get connection. Optus will also promote it with additional shows, interviews, etc. Optus have exceeded my expectations with EPL, UCL.

  • geoff_craig Geoff Craig (@geoff_craig) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @PaulDavys Optus sucks!

  • Tony_3163 Tony (@Tony_3163) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus Miscommunication, take the sim to be replaced, no don’t, we still need 3-5 working days to get reports. I asked “Is it acceptable for a customer to be without any Internet for up the 6 days” After a positive start, I’m wondering whether the @Optus wireless 5G was a error. /2

  • stirlospace 𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚛𝚕𝚘.𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚌𝚎 (@stirlospace) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @sandylanceley @CouchNish @MelbPTUser @melissakp @australian @Singtel They can not run a 3/4G network to save themselves and I cannot see why anyone still pays them / or why they’re in business. But I guess change is tricky for most. Getting off Optus was the best battery and speed boost I’ve had—like a new phone! 🤣 they’re shocking

  • juleshughan Julia Hughan (@juleshughan) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Yep, @optus 4G Wirelesss down again.

  • Tony_3163 Tony (@Tony_3163) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus Currently up to 75 hours without functioning home Internet through @optus Home Broadband 5G service. No resolution in sight.

  • asteroidproject Damian Marley🚀 (@asteroidproject) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus you are just as bad. Tried connecting via you but you cancelled order 4 times, hence trying Telstra again.

  • ShortBlokeJosh Short Bloke Josh! (@ShortBlokeJosh) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Sorry, my bad. It's from 2002. It's an optus advertising cardboard cut out from that year around the world cup...

  • BennieKrevice Bennie Krevice / Annie Krevice (@BennieKrevice) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @gazzalinga I should specify telecommunications tech are especially bad, Optus trouble shooting makes me want to smash my head through a wall

  • diliprao Dilip Rao (@diliprao) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @ipinky77 @Optus Customer delight is not that hard @optus - give frontline staff some leeway to make decisions but also enough tech training to solve beyond their structured piece of the puzzle. I could have been up in 24 hours rather than 216.

  • _VonFingerbang ɢᴀʏʙʀᴀʜᴀᴍ ᴛᴡɪɴᴋɪɴ (@_VonFingerbang) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @BenderDeth I get 40g a month. And thankfully my data has just reset. But **** Optus. I'm gonna get a free month.

  • Tony_3163 Tony (@Tony_3163) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    It seems like our @optus 5G has stop working today Waiting for 3-5 working days to hear about the next step in solving the issue seems .... not good.

  • DeclanJE Declan JE 📸 (@DeclanJE) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @LounaTuna @Optus **** that's shameful for nbn speeds

  • Tony_3163 Tony (@Tony_3163) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    120 hours of no service @Optus 5G Homebrand and no contact today about what the solution will be. Resisting NBN but needs must.

  • Tony_3163 Tony (@Tony_3163) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus Disappointing that 5G not working this morning - two dropouts then stopped. Murrumbeena Tower.

  • lesposen lesposen (@lesposen) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    I’m about 1km south of an @Optus 5G service. I have no 3G/4G service I can rely on currently so have to use wifi calling. NBN or Optus router goes down weekly so I’m left on a desert island. iPhone 12 with 5G comes in November. Here’s hoping 5G will arrive by then #gamechanger

  • mralexdawson Alex Dawson (@mralexdawson) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Oh dear @FOXTEL_Help, You keep telling me my new apartment in the same building can’t be serviced. All I need is an engineer to connect a wire but forced to follow your internal email process. I mean it’s 2020. No issues with @Optus switch today. Worst customer service ever!

  • Tony_3163 Tony (@Tony_3163) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus Thanks Aron, already escalated, but service is ...... underwhelming.

    @Optus so you know want me to sign up to your digital ID service before you can process my order ? No thanks, my data has already been hacked once thanks to you. Look like someone else gets my money this time round.

  • hugobrown Hugo (@hugobrown) reported

    @Optus Well that was let down went for run get back to mortdale and still no network even after the notification, can't even log on optus site to advise them of issue 463556 is still not working, Now its not even on H+ it barely stays on +

  • shaneanza Shane Stapleton (@shaneanza) reported

    Turns out the new case that I had been waiting them to contact me about was closed as a duplicate of the original case. So they were never going to contact me. Now more waiting for the original Optus expert to contact me. Because I have nothing but time.

  • Gergyl Gerg (@Gergyl) reported

    Why does @Optus's DNS still not catalogue some sites? Actually emailed them, over a year ago, to point this out; never saw a reply. (BTW, IPv6 addresses are a pain; just sayin'.)

  • youngcrewtweet Brad Young (@youngcrewtweet) reported

    @Optus Sarah, still no email service! No response from tech, has been escalated yet no help. How can my email service just stop working?

  • ormond1966 dave (@ormond1966) reported

    Was told Optus webmail back on by 630 pm cdst but still nothing. Poor form again Optus.

  • TomInSZN Tom (@TomInSZN) reported

    Bro **** Optus, I ain't gonna pay $25 a month just to watch Harry Souttar play

  • annamgirardi 🌸Anna (@annamgirardi) reported

    @enygmap @trevorlong @Optus Same, mine still not working!!

  • liuliang3385 Leo L (@liuliang3385) reported

  • jjjohncau jjj c (@jjjohncau) reported

    So.. The @Optus web says NBN at my place is aok. @NBN_Australia web says "network degradation may impact....please contact yr provider" *sigh #firstworldproblems
