Optus Issues Reports Near Maitland, State of New South Wales

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 😡

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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!!

  • 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?” 🤯

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

Optus Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • hatross66 Gotrek1966 (@hatross66) reported

    @R_Chirgwin Excellent, after getting up them for lousy service and broken towers, now I find out about a data breach on Twitter. Way to go Optus.

  • TimboRoberts Tim Roberts (@TimboRoberts) reported

    @shara_evans @Optus 21 hours since they told the media through pr channels. They've had time for TV and radio appearances and some crocodile tear filled apology from the ceo... but nothing for customers directly. It's absolute garbage.

  • KleinRevd Revd Andrew Klein ( Chaplain) (@KleinRevd) reported

    @virgotweet Had similar problems. At the end of the day, after much obfuscation and humbugging, I got onto to management. NBN mostly uses sub contractors who are used like Gig workers, the infrastructure is stuffed and there is little communication between Optus n NBN.

  • MrHunterSmith Hunter Smith (@MrHunterSmith) reported

    Optus could leak every single personal detail of mine and still the worst but would be people knowing I'm with Optus.

  • journalistagen1 journalistagendas (@journalistagen1) reported

    @cpenny_6 @6NewsAU @Optus They notified the public yesterday, within 24 hours. Considering the amount of work involved in identifying and rectifying the problem, as well as working out how many customers and how much data was impacted, 24 hours is fine. Doesn’t excuse the breach.

  • LikeADroppedPie Head Like a Dropped Pie (@LikeADroppedPie) reported

    @cameronwilson Hey @Optus, why do I have to hear about this in the media instead of directly from you? Piss poor.

  • That_Dan_Guy_ Dan (@That_Dan_Guy_) reported

    If I was with Optus, I would be talking to my bank to get re-issued credit/debit cards, change all my passwords for all accounts, and set up 2FA. they still don't know how this cyberattack happened. The way Optus have dealt with this is very poor.

  • LittleBirdOz82 Bill Rogers (@LittleBirdOz82) reported

    @trevorlong I stopped being an Optus Home customer about 13/14 months ago and stopped being an Optus Mobile customer about 2 and a bit years ago. How nervous should I be?

  • pressreset bored art online (@pressreset) reported

    @alisterrobbie yikes man. i mean, most of au was a customer of optus at one point or another. im sure that data is still in their systems, even if thr account is expired. it would be an old address etc but 😬

  • mhgoremau357 Mark Hyde (@mhgoremau357) reported

    @MichaelM_ACT The Sony intrusion in terms of the PSN NECESSITATED a reset - the Optus was cyber attack on its customer records. No service was affected by it directly.
