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

  • ajhill_alan Alan Hill (@ajhill_alan) reported from Newcastle, State of 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.

  • michaelread1 Michael (@michaelread1) reported from Newcastle, State of 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.

  • carlagrossetti @carlagrossetti (@carlagrossetti) reported from Maitland, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Thanks Nard. What causes an outage that only affects webmail?

  • michaelread1 Michael (@michaelread1) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    Optus 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?” 🤯

  • michaelread1 Michael (@michaelread1) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    My 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.

  • SophiePearse Sophie Pearse (@SophiePearse) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    I’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 😡

  • JKRLMazur 🇦🇺Julian 🇦🇺 (@JKRLMazur) reported from Cessnock, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra 2hrs this morning wasted with your member chat trying to take out a new contract, long term customer counts for nothing, go on Optus site and as a nobody I got a better deal straight off.

  • MansfieldOwen Owen Mansfield (@MansfieldOwen) reported from Newcastle, State of 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.

  • siobhan_curran Siobhan Curran (@siobhan_curran) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    As an @optus customer I haven’t received any correspondence regarding the data breach and have no idea if my data has been compromised.

  • mediahunter Craig Wilson (@mediahunter) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @CouchNish I can't even watch it. Optus issues. 😡

  • JKRLMazur 🇦🇺Julian 🇦🇺 (@JKRLMazur) reported from Cessnock, State of New South Wales

    @recneps51 @Optus @NSW_FairTrading I bpay to telstra also, I know they charge me for a paper bill, which I request but never receive, but I don’t know about the other bit. I’d never allow direct debit, especially Optus, I used to ring them every other month about issues.

  • ozziewiltshire Oz. Pro Choice! (@ozziewiltshire) reported from Raymond Terrace, State of New South Wales

    @madameshawshank @PringPhillip Love is blind... and stupid evidently. Career straight down the **** chute, although I high paying gig at optus is 2nd best I suppose.

  • tmacca_1996 Thomas McKenna (@tmacca_1996) reported from Newcastle, State of 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

  • carolduncan Carol Duncan (@carolduncan) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @joshgnosis I’e tweeted Optus for help/advice, tried online chat twice … nothing.

  • JKRLMazur Julian 🇦🇺 (@JKRLMazur) reported from Cessnock, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra Yep. Unfortunately I’m so disgusted with the way I’ve been treated as a customer will see me head to @optus Telstra high prices dont reflect the service you receive from staff when there is a problem. It’s disgraceful. By far the worst telco I have dealt with, ever.

  • ReetuMutti Reetu Mutti (@ReetuMutti) reported from Newcastle, State of 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!!

  • gjblue Greg Blue (@gjblue) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @Hillysfarms @Telstra I reckon telstra coverage in metro areas is third after optus and Vodafone, its terrible here in Newcastle

  • KitaandMat Mat and Kita Clarke (@KitaandMat) reported from Maitland, State of New South Wales

    @OeterB @Fozbyte That's what I did! I'm an optus customer so it's included in my plan.

  • ShaneNatalie Shane N. Thompson (@ShaneNatalie) reported from Newcastle, State of 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.

  • nickintheworld Nick Williams (@nickintheworld) reported from Newcastle, State of 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

Optus Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • spaceface22 I'm a bit of a loose unit 🇦🇺🇺 (@spaceface22) reported

    @DeadDropPod Optus can't be considered a hack. They had an open test API with real customer data and piss poor security. That's an own goal. Scandalous.

  • Anabellehicks4 Anabelle hicks (@Anabellehicks4) reported

    @ChrisMusty @Optus Case's like this should be handled by professional security agencies who are good in account recovering. I got myself hacked a week ago but through the help of smith_fix001 on Instagram I got my account fully recovered.

  • sassycarrie Sassy Carrie (@sassycarrie) reported

    @AugersMonster @Optus I mean even credit/debit cards are far easier to cancel than changing my entire ******* identity ffs.

  • HeathdonSMcGreg Heathdon S McGregor (@HeathdonSMcGreg) reported

    @masericha @Optus Start a completely different complaint and get the same response, word for word?

  • Acting_Alone Acting Alone (@Acting_Alone) reported

    @9NewsMelb A few weeks ago I was able to obtain finance with less ID than was stolen from Optus, but their response is to cancel my cards and credit history check. They have no info on what I'll live on in the meantime though.

  • _jsc92 Jake (@_jsc92) reported

    @Optus how is it that a major data breach has occurred and there's been no direct comms to your customer base on the issue? Going direct to the media is not an appropriate solution. We all know stories are spun by journalists. Not a lot of confidence that things are under control

  • iibnf iibnf (@iibnf) reported

    Also, as I'm with Optus, very thankful I never let anyone talk me into putting all my ID on my phone. I checked at the store and not only have I not been a hack victim, the only ID I had on there was a fake driver's licence. Trust No One.

  • VioletGre3n Violet Green (@VioletGre3n) reported

    @redruby17 @Optus Be nice if they could at least contact folks so they know whether or not they need to cancel them.

  • Literarychick2 HelenW (@Literarychick2) reported

    @Greybeard3 Yes, but I imagine there will be folk genuinely think this will protect from what's already happened, makes it misleading, & a scam perpetrated on anxious individuals. But Damn & Blast Optus, hey!

  • Chris_J_Baird CJ_Baird (@Chris_J_Baird) reported

    @jaredquinn Good comedy needs pacing, J. I'm still laughing from the Optus breech. A thought is that's "tracing from an image", which most online art communities don't accept, while others allow "references" (mostly as a lazy way to avoid the tracing issue..)
