Optus Issues Reports Near Melbourne, Victoria

    The Barefoot Nurse (@Barefootnurse1) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    When Optus was hacked, state governments were quick to offer support for victims with new ID, nothing for Medicare customers, why the difference in response? The support from Medicare at this point has been pathetic. #thedrum

    @nicenuts @Itsrustyruss @Optus I can just imagine Deborah and Alan Boomer going in there and losing their **** at the poor staff who had zero to do with it. I feel sorry for the workers in retail. Retail is already a **** job, then you have this on top of it.

    Julie-Anne Adams (@Bunba) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @Optus quick and great service by Seyma at Bourke Street Mall Optus shop. 110% customer service

  • andrewwlaird
    Andrew Laird (@andrewwlaird) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    Hey @Optus you’re not making it easy for me to stay with you. Data hack. Now you’ve changed my monthly mobile data from 69GB to 19GB with no notice. Customer for 20 years but reckon this might be it…

    @Optus Been the worst service all day with continual drop outs.

  • GlennHampson
    Glenn Hampson (@GlennHampson) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    I take my Optus email is part of the data hack given the **** emails and sms that have risen significantly in the past 48 hours

  • nlarkin_photo
    Nathan Larkin (@nlarkin_photo) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    Hey @Optus! There has been an #NBN service fault for the last 2 days.. Any chance you might know when it will be resolved?

    @Optus when can we expect to see Pixel 7 phone preorder information? Current @Telstra customer looking for a better deal. @VodafoneAU currently looking favourite

    @Optus tried to use your chat. Won’t let me log in or change my password #fail #optusfail #needanewprovider

    I was an Optus broadband customer until 2019. No contact from them yet. Wondering if I’m safe or not.

  • raymond3020
    Adam Gemmell (@raymond3020) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @Optus I received your email saying my license and passport was given as part of your breach. No further comms. Your website says I should have received a sms that was sent to all that has had their ID docs leaked. Silence! Been an Optus customer for 17 years. Not much longer

    @somewherein84 Or insta! I saw a woman yesterday who blamed Dan for Penny Wong requesting Optus pay for the replacement passports etc 🤯I shouldn't have lowered myself to her level but I couldn't help myself

  • driver_x_oz
    Driver_x_oz (@driver_x_oz) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    Spent 2 hours on chat to @Optus trying to arrange a new iPhone14pro plus sort out the families various plans. Only to have chat end when making the final confirmation of the order details agreed. End result not happy … no order… have to go through the same old **** show again

    Hey @Optus having internet issues and tried calling you guys but your technical support department is closed? What the? Can you please get back to me asap so I can have my internet back? #optusfail

  • ShigeruKugimiya
    Shigeru (Shiggy) Kugimiya (釘宮 滋) (@ShigeruKugimiya) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @Optus I have issues with mobile network not connecting to the network in South Eastern Melbourne 3196. Is anyone having same issues?

  • scousehelen
    Scouse Helen(Helen Drinoczky) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (@scousehelen) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @NickAnsell @rebekkarnold Optus now show less competitions, now charges more and still we get terrible streaming issues when trying to watch live games in the middle of the night.

  • EFCRebuild
    Essendon FC - The Rebuild (@EFCRebuild) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @timrosen35 @Optus I disagree. Optus Mobile customer service is better than @VodafoneAU customer service 👍

  • _TimMcMahon
    Tim McMahon (@_TimMcMahon) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @vertikar @NBN_Australia @Telstra The irony in Telstra workers having Optus and Vodafone services for continuity just in case nbn and Telstra mobile go down. 😬

  • CooperCodes
    Cooper Everywhere All At Once 🧑🏼‍💻 (@CooperCodes) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @VicRoads @VicGovDoT Just change the license numbers please and issue new ones. And charge that back to Optus thanks.

  • cindyn
    *Cindy N* 🤔✨ (@cindyn) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    Anyone use Belong mobile? Any good? I’m with Optus but they’re giving me the shits - I can’t use my phone at home to make calls coz they’ve been ‘upgrading the network’ since mid-Dec! And I work from home 3 days a week. Paying $50/month for SFA service…

    @blu_boys @Optus If you bank with commonwealth they have a deal with more. It uses the Telstra network, usually 25% off with an already well priced plan.

  • jnj_pro
    J Labs (@jnj_pro) reported

    @Optus And the session time-out keeps interrupting me when I'm talking to a customer support, I have to log in again after a while. Why is that? Can the product manager explain? The overall experience with Optus apps (Web and mobile) is painful, and a simple request would take days.

  • payneerynn
    Eryn (@payneerynn) reported

    For two days now i have had: connected for two minutes to internet, not connected for two minutes drama with optus, anyone else having the same issues.

  • anthony45052793
    anthony, underclass prole cat, edwards (@anthony45052793) reported

    @MichaelRuyg yep, when they built the NBN fixed wireless tower, that carries optus and vodafone as well, it had a backup generator. then the tower got "upgraded" with 6 months of regular outages and then next power outage we discovered the backup generator and the ability to call 000 was gone

  • wilma_domjan
    Wilma Domjan (@wilma_domjan) reported

    @keating01 Isn’t OPTUS & Telstra’s outage breakdown a strong reason NOT TO go digital on everything under one system of Government control? How many different services went out - not just 000? Can’t bank, buy petrol, grocery, use your card! EVEN WORSE is if we have a power supply outage!

  • BanFoo_
    Ban-Foo Leong (@BanFoo_) reported

    @Optus This morning, just after 11am, I noticed that my @Optus @NBN_Australia connection stopped working, resulting in no internet or telephone service. I’m located in the Inner West Sydney area. Is this an unscheduled outage. What is going on? This is so frustrating!

  • exRSaddict
    Lister (@exRSaddict) reported

    @IanBatchelor11 @australian i worked for origin this exact issue was raised as an issue my manager ( who was at Optus when they had the databreach) said it wasn't an issue

  • jackson31619
    Jackson (@jackson31619) reported

    Trains down in perth so people have to walk? My two times in optus and going to perth thats ridiculous. Having a stadium you can only access by public transport...surely you'd make sure the ******* trains are working #AFLFreoCrows

  • Theofatcat
    Theofatcat (@Theofatcat) reported

    I’m wondering if Telstra Optus etc will cope on Monday 27th when all the emergency services etc are planned to be delivered to phones

    @lozza929406 @AFL We never lose at Optus tbh not this season.
