Optus Issues Reports Near Illewong, New South Wales
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Illewong and nearby locations:
-
Tiffany (@msstraighty180) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@HansOrph @Optus Had bad customer experience with them in 2009 thus they've been blacklisted by me since then
-
-
JPMasters (He/Him/They/Them) (@JPMasters) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@lesstenny @RNBreakfast I wasn’t listening this morning, but my thoughts are, rain - our infrastructure never considered there would be rain, mobile coverage infrastructure not keeping up with demand (I am 13km from Sydney GPO on a high point - hopeless with both Telstra and Optus), and NBN no doubt.
-
Anthony Horton @spacelizard@aus.social (@vacant3rdman) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@Optus I bought a 4G modem for use at a location that has coverage from your 4G network, only to find that it's artificially limited to 3G speeds. This is totally unacceptable. I want a refund so I can spend the money on a Telstra modem instead.
-
Boatyboy (@Boatyboy1) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@DoctorKarl On Foreshore and Botany Rd areas of Botany, my phone just doesn't want to connect to anyone. Can see many KM across the bay, but nothing works. Optus network.
-
Peter Alderman (@alderman1973) reported from Sydney, New South WalesOffshore @Optus call centre's are the death of me at the moment. One hour and still no level of comprehension to resolve my problem with mobile charges. Horrific customer service.
-
Daniel Chanisheff AZx2 Pfizerx1 (@DC_GSHealth) reported from Sydney, New South WalesHad to restore my phone. My goodness it’s annoying. Esim needs visit to @Optus store to activate. My phone is the after hours number for patients and pathology. I also didn’t realise #googleauthenticator can’t transfer over. That’s my bad I guess.
-
. (@Roucek) reported from Sydney, New South WalesJust banished Optus to the Never Never. #OptusNo #OptusHack #OptusDataBreach
-
Stephen Rutter (@stephenrutter) reported from Sydney, New South WalesWhat is happening with @optus mobile service at the moment?
-
JPMasters (He/Him/They/Them) (@JPMasters) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@Jeremy_Kirk I think @Optus is in some deep trouble.
-
Graeme T (he/him)💉x 4😷 - 🌳🌲🌴🌵 (@GT_AUS) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@aparachick @anna_prole @JustJul77588855 Can't speak for Aussie but TPG own network. Anybody know, do the piggyback players simply use Optus infrastructure but maintain client data on their own system/s.🤔🤔
-
Yi.\nni (@JApotsis) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@Optus 56mins on the phone trying to get Tech Support. Call is terminated as I get through. Get hanged up on when I call back. Taken a day off work to fix internet connection problems. Wanna help or??? 🙄🤨
-
Vijay A (@VAAChandran) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@BoothCricket The Optus could have been a 3.5 day affair, with an England win, if not for the Kamikaze English approach on day 2. England were shocking at the Gabba, after day 1. The MCG pitch was a poor one. Overall, McCullum's lack of remorse is rewarded, which makes ECB a laughing stock.
-
Morgen Craufurd (@morgen_craufurd) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@CatPurry9 Optus lobbied ScroteO to water down their security requirements and he -of course-compiled-That’s where the rot originated-big ole surprise!!
-
janet albrechtsen (@jkalbrechtsen) reported from Sydney, New South WalesDamn. Microwave has broken. I blame Optus hack.
-
John Vizzone (@JVizzone) reported from Sydney, New South WalesWonder how the Optus customers are going? More than 18 months after some pirate called Service NSW and illegally obtained and changed my licence details to then access various institutions I deal with to steal from me, today Service NSW finally issued me a new licence number.
-
Alex Dennis🏳️🌈🇦🇺 (@miracleboi) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@Optus I have tried to call your call centre re the hack to see if my info being a former customer and my mum's account still being an active customer was compromised but your call centre is closed. This shouldn't be the case and a dedicated team/number should be available 24/7
-
Maurice B (@BMOUSA1) reported from Sydney, New South WalesPeople keep wondering why Aussies fall for these telemarketing scams it's because it's so difficult to get in touch with @Optus technical support I'm willing to give my details to anyone who calls me pretending to help fix my internet.
-
Maurice B (@BMOUSA1) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@Optus you guys just hang up on people after being on hold for an hour? Internet has been down all morning and it's easier to get a call with the prime minister than to get through to you guys.
-
ਬਿਕਰਮਜੀਤ ਸਿੰਘ ਗਿੱਲ (@bikramjitgill2) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@Optus your support team is useless, I have transferred 4 times in same chat, all of them have asked same question name, contact number, account information. If your support team working from home, they are sleeping look like. And in the end this is not concerned department....
Optus Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Ray Finkle (@itsrayfinkle) reportedAusAlert cost ~$130 million to rollout. A 13x increase from the $10m initial budget. Here are the known costs and estimates: $10m Initial Planning Taskforce $60-70m Carrier access tolls (Telstra, Optus, TPG) $30m Security architecture & hardening $20-25m Foreign hardware + offshore managed services $5-10m Public awareness, testing & administration Want to know how each allocation is spent? Too bad. Contractors and government use "Commercial-in-Confidence" clauses to keep specific commercial margins and costs hidden from the public eye. A 1300% blowout with no accountability.
-
MAGA OZ (@magaozREAL) reported@FrankWCE1992 @kanecornes Are you ****** retarded? We share a home ground with 5 other clubs you spastic. Zero neutrality in it when we play hawthorn or Richmond (even though they are **** at the moment). We would win MORE games as an average team if we had an Optus Stadium advantage.
-
Bryn, Muppet Enthusiast (@Brynbikes) reportedTrain line to Optus stadium is down. Good luck, Freo fans....
-
KB 🐈 (@chdyctt) reported@blu_boys @Optus We had to call the call centre to clarify the new plans. It was an appallingly bad experience. Now.... the 5 of us are considering what we do.
-
cat 🧡🇵🇸 (@feedthecath) reported@Azstro2 @AJG_87 his decision to put murdock on whitfield (noting some bad umpiring in favour of west coast too) led to them beating gws at optus lol he’s not doing nothing
-
Jumbarrawa (@jumbarrawa) reportedIt's not like mainstream media dont know about ANY of this. 👇👇 In September 2017, the federal government announced a $50 million investment over seven years in the Cyber Security Cooperative Research Centre (CSCRC). The CEO was Rachael Falk. She led the independent review into the Optus and Medibank cyber breaches. She was appointed by the Minister for Home Affairs to the Expert Advisory Board for Australia’s 2023-2030 Cyber Security Strategy. In February 2025, Falk left the CSCRC to become a partner at Ashurst Risk Advisory—a return to the firm where she had worked as a lawyer in 1998. The CSCRC was not just a research centre. It was a revolving door—a place where a connected insider could build a network, then cash in.

Andry Dina (@andrydina7) reportedEveryone leaves Cursor for refactors. They lose the 3x speed. One founder shipped $12k MRR in nine days using only Cursor + Grok 4.6. Daily Workflow starts inside the file. Open the file inside Cursor. Feed the exact three-line Prompt Patterns straight to inline Grok. Rewrite only the current sentence before moving on. Most still paste stack traces into ChatGPT and kill the flow. That alone eats 30% of refactor time. Grok 4.6 beats Claude Optus on large refactors because you never exit the codebase. Counterintuitive tip: stay sentence-by-sentence instead of dumping the whole function. What slowed your last refactor most?
-
BeardsCantRave (@ayyyitspete) reported@BillKoala @mikjcal Just went to Coles mobile, same Optus network. You can go the $240/yr with 210GB or cheaper option which is usually $220/145GB a year but currently on special at Coles for $179 first year plus an extra 30Gb for the first year. Unused data also rolls over..

Dave (@Dave87990998) reportedLike I said outside optus ur game is poor bcoz 90% thi year u played in optus this game shows all weak pts take them work on them even today its not finals ur struggling think finals outside optus today very poor midfield transition and very poor ruck @freodockers
-
Katrina Larsen (@KatrinaLarsen) reported@optus_help I’m not entering my personal details to one more Optus representative. This needs to be escalated to the Ombudsman. No one can respond or communicate with me about this issue. And there has been absolutely no effort to restore services.
