Optus Outage in Ipswich, State of Queensland

@Optus Hi Vicky it is 4114, am I reading it correctly that our service will be out for 5 days due to maintenance

Dear @optus your cable Internet has been down all day, is there any chance of getting an update as to how much longer it will be

@Optus That’s for that - there was a tower outage

It’s taken 30min via @Optus livechat to reset a password and setup online billing. Never thought I’d say this but @Telstra is actually better at customer service

Sad to say goodbye to Virgin Mobile Australia after many years of exceptional service. Yesterday and today I have had 3 unsuccessful live chats and 1 unsuccessful call to @Optus to activate a new SIM and port my son’s mobile number. Still have no idea what’s going on.

Dear @Optus telling us you have system issues and we need to call back in 3hrs after having ongoing internet issues for over 2 months is not good enough. How about you show your customers some #customerservice and call us back. We will be going elsewhere #poorservice #Internet

@Optus My Account login is dangerously broken at the moment, I was just logged in as some other user. An attempt to log back in is now resulting in an infinite loop.

Optus is possibly one of the worst internet providers 😂 0.06mbps

I went to the shops today to get info on NBN plans. Spoke with @Telstra , @Optus , @VodafoneAU and @DodoAustralia . One decision was made - I will never give 1c to @DodoAustralia . Rude, condescending and made me feel I was wasting their time asking questions.

Omg my internet speed is at like 2mb down 10mb up wtf Optus. 90hrs for a 10g update 😭😭

Hello we are at Optus garden city trying to rectify the issue. Some in store staff just seem untrained with the process.

@plalor @Optus I had my long-standing issue resolved last week with Telstra. An operator in Townsville and a technician out two days later - a new smart modem - bingo!!! 56mbps.

So to give you an update, it was a great place to be, but a crazy experience. Make sure you get OPTUS for your phone service because WiFi out here is terrible. Oh yeah, watch out for spiders, good day mate 🤙🏾 @jade_croghan

@doyouevenpandev SBS have rights to world cups not fox so shit out of luck.. optus sports uses neutral commentary

@Optus I haven’t tried yet because United is on but I will try at half time. I couldn’t find it in the TV guide but when I click up and down channels they’re there. Weird.

@Optus I am a long term loyal customer, please please attend to this ASAP ! A Matter Of Great Urgency !!!!

@Optus yeah that is only your excuse to take the cash already in credit as far as I am concered you owe me 40dolars so you won't be getting anymore I will change i might be only one customer you loose but who cares I don't need to donate to your foundation of thieves

@lubiephil @AnthonyCole68 @ALDIMobileAU I just had two lots of credit exterminated beccause I didn't recharge in time so, back to scrapping the mobile and @Optus can shove their thieving service where it mighten fit

@Optus what a disgrace. After 11 days contacting you to follow up a new broadband connection, I finally get told it’s not possible. I was assured multiple times it wa all ok. A complete joke. #servicefail #CustomerService #service

Wow two calls to @Optus today and two bad experiences. The support is really declining.

@Optus Our relocation was a week overdue & after spending 2hr+ a day getting transferred to different staff our internet finally began working last night.We have today woken to a msg saying our fetch box is not active.This is now ridiculous& has been the worst customer experience

.@ParkinsonsQLD @ParkinsonsAus disappointing lack of service from @Optus @ParkinsonsQLD phones down since last week. #Optus doesn’t care we’re unable to provide services to #peoplelivingwithParkinsons #itsahealthissue #hollowpromises #notechsupport Running #charitybymobilephones

@goose2448 @RSHunter71 I bought a phone from optus just a cheap they had so much shit installed the phone ran out of memory (ram) during setup the shit they installed at idle was using 96% right out of the box I returned it as not fit for purpose and got this alcatel a3

@goose2448 @RSHunter71 Lol or find another ****** hah I am not too fond of Samsung's products either or provider phones like optus or telstra too much crap I like clean OS which I will give Apple credit they don't let the telcos bloat em too much down here

@Optus Thanks for the update. Cable internet is has been painfully slow for the last 2 weeks.

@GlennHampson @Optus I had this weird thing happen with me for months when I signed up to Optus but they never charged me just weird emails saying they did. It took many calls and message to fix

Nice work @Optus - internet problems not fixed after 2 hours on the line, u have my $ and I have no internet...2 add insult to injury I just opened a letter from O excitedly announcing NBN is coming to our suburb -that would be ok if I lived in the suburb stated in the letter.

Not happy @Telstra Why do emails continually simply ‘disappear’. Too many people contact me asking why I haven’t responded. Your service is the reason! Time to switch! @Optus

OPTUS yea right I had virtually any money for recharging but I recharged with $30 asked why I only got $5.00 extra credit sucks but charge with $40 or $50 you get it all so thinking of trying VODAFONE think Optus can be quite stingy

This morning I called @Optus to check technician was coming. Customer service had no record of new address, quoting old address again. Gave my new details again before transferred to other department. Asked again for details & once again no record of new address on system.

NBN not working so tried Optus network status and that's not working too. Excellent consistency! #CX #Fail

@Optus WTF is wrong now. Internet doesn't work. Your phone numbers won't even let you talk to@someone and your live chat is offline. WTF type of service are you running. How the hell am I meant to get this fixed FFS

Also I gotta quit Optus. How is terrible service in inner Brisbane still a thing?

@Optus your @NBN_Australia plan is crap. Settle in on Sunday night to watch a movie I pay for on #fetch and I have to wait for 4 hours to start watching in SD. Joke!

What’s with that weird light show at Optus Stadium on full time? Looks bloody awful on TV. I’m having a seizure #afl #AFLEaglesPies

@Optus as a long term customer, the lack of service when ordering a new phone on line is appalling. After being told last Thursday 1-5 business days for delivery, I have just been told the item is not in stock and delivery is unknown. Poor.

If ur thinking of transferring ur mobile plan to @LetsBelong, do urself a favor & flush ur money down the toilet. I transferred to Belong 3 months ago & for 3 months Ive been unable to make outgoing calls. Belong says it wasnt their problem. Moved to @Optus - fixed INSTANTLY!!

oh @Optus you’re like that rubbish mate who always lets me down but promises to be better next time. Broadband and TV service down once again in #bne 4151. Remind me what I’m paying for ? #optus #getittogether

@csirac2 @Optus Ugh I went through that with a certain national broadband network and had to disable client side validation to get my address into the system

@Optus It was an awful game. Not much you can do about it mate.

@alegareecomms @Optus I used to get similar, the sad thing is that I'm just getting constant drop outs, I try not to complain, I'm not getting what I've paid for though. Optus have admitted that I'll never get a full hundo, but I should be getting 97.7 Mbps.

@TonyHWindsor @AndrewCatsaras Down my street we had Telstra HFC, optus HFC and Telstra copper. NBN bought the optus HFC which they have decommissioned. The have decommissioned the copper. We now all share the one testra HFC for internet, Foxtel and phone...this used to be called fraud.

@JimPanzee63 @Optus Service is awful!

@Mallencoops @Optus Looks like 2218 affected - terrible all week. Worst service ever

@Optus provide the worst service when you have NBN. In fact no service. I wish I had never chosen them, try someone else.

@Optus We use 4G modems all over the country. Not a fan of Telstra but get around 45MB/sec down on their’s. On Optus ones, typically get 2 to 8Mb/sec and told “it’s normal” on supposedly uncapped service.

@nickmon1112 Optus Australia our 2nd biggest IP has a ban on 4chan, 8chan etc.. and it's a hard IP based block, so changing your DNS won't help. you'll need a VPN or external AU proxy to get to it

@A_Tass1 @Telstra @acccgovau @ACurrentAffair9 I've been through exactly the same, took weeks and then disabled the functionality of printers. They wanted me to purchase "Platinum" subscription to fix that! Optus even worse for gouging - merits of a duopoly

@hidflect @TheMurfDawg @niremas It’s not the government, get a grip. I have accessed Zero Hedge from Optus 4G, Telstra Home’s ADSL, TPG broadband office regularly over the past 48 hours. BTW, ZH is still publishing the same mix of mostly crap with a smattering if useful as always. You ain’t missing much

@Huw_Merlin The Gabba exchange is a huge building, handles everything. Probably about 15 floors of full on tech gear. The optus outage page specifies each type of service that's affected. Cable is effected in a huge arc from what I can see, so must be working in the main exchange-w/gabba.
