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

  • trevorlong Trevor Long (@trevorlong) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    If you thought Optus had moved to a Customer focused approach with this whole data hack - think again. I’ve got details of what I think is the most disgraceful lack of attention to the VERY worst affected customer. Just need time to calm down and write it all down

  • callejap Patricia (@callejap) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @RavenZech2 @Optus A friend of one who joined Optus 6 months ago has just told me that he’s received no emails from them. Nothing at all. Pretty bad form @Optus

  • morgen_craufurd Morgen Craufurd (@morgen_craufurd) reported from Sydney, State of 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!!

  • martyps MARTY 🏳️‍🌈 (@martyps) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus your app sucks and I’m not waiting on hold for an hour for someone on the phone to tell me I can check it on the app

  • Boatyboy1 Boatyboy (@Boatyboy1) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Eva_Lishus @Cindy1Miss @Optus Have a look at Amaysim. Uses Optus network, but much cheaper. Although it is 13x 28 day bills per year.

  • wheelyweb Joe Ortenzi 🇨🇦 🇮🇹 🇦🇺 (@wheelyweb) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Everyone is missing a critical item. Why do telcos need all that info when I can fire up an sms service without it. However. Optus is directly responsible for the data spill, regardless of if it was a hack or a breach. it’s their responsibility to manage security of that data.

  • just_brash Justin Brash 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇦🇺🍸📷🐱 (@just_brash) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Independent financial institutions have contacted me with their concerns about my data warning me if I’m an Optus customer I should take actions now. Yet Optus has made no contact whatsoever. Not good enough @Optus, I’m not making any payments until I hear from you. #Optushack

  • immsollawyers (((Anne ODonoghue))) (@immsollawyers) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    “While Ms Bayer Rosmarin has claimed Optus was victim of a “sophisticated attack”, the government believes the data breach was more likely down to lax security measures at the telecoms giant.”

  • fatinpaisal Fatin Paisal (@fatinpaisal) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    I was trying to change my network provider and was trying to do so on a day before the cyberattack but my user experience to do it was pretty bad, and I opt to stay with Optus. Bad timing. Definitely will change to something else soon.

  • ben_hr Ben Harris-Roxas (@ben_hr) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @engagedpractx @Optus This is gobsmacking. Unbelievable that the Commonwealth would do this without consulting the actual person affected. Well, actually it's quite believable, but it sucks.

  • scott86d Scott D (@scott86d) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    I know what's happened with this Optus breach is frustrating for people. However please don't take it out on us working in Service NSW centres. We have instructions at the moment of what we can and cant do in regards to updating your licence.

  • jkalbrechtsen janet albrechtsen (@jkalbrechtsen) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Damn. Microwave has broken. I blame Optus hack.

  • martyps MARTY 🏳️‍🌈 (@martyps) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Mike8899889 @harryrd97 Optus is still **** though, even without the cyber attack.

  • miracleboi Alex Dennis🏳️‍🌈🇦🇺 (@miracleboi) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @optus my mum's NBN FTTC white NBN box will not get any data thru the line. Have been trying all day to get thru to technical support and that line has been "closed" all day and message is hasn't been helpful. She also has a falls monitor which should be connected but it's not

  • Roucek . (@Roucek) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Just banished Optus to the Never Never. #OptusNo #OptusHack #OptusDataBreach

  • JPMasters JPMasters (He/Him/They/Them) (@JPMasters) reported from Sydney, State of 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.

  • paulkneipp Paul Kneipp (@paulkneipp) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @slsandpet With Optus for 10 years. When I moved, I asked them to connect me at the new place. No, they said, we have no service there. Telstra came, the tech pointed and said “that’s an Optus box there”. I was assured that emails would continue for 3 months. Account deleted in 24 hours.

  • JVizzone John Vizzone (@JVizzone) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Last year I had my identity stolen including drivers licence details changed, partially at the hands of Service NSW. Good luck Optus victims getting your licence changed. Even when they were part of the fraud I’m still waiting for my new licence.

  • miracleboi Alex Dennis🏳️‍🌈🇦🇺 (@miracleboi) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    So wondering how many Optus customers are considering ditching the telco because of the data breach they incurred. Are you an existing Optus customer? Would you consider leaving them?

  • emelinemataia E 🌺 (@emelinemataia) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Is Optus down or something? Because my network is ‘SOS’ @Optus

    @Optus Thanks for the quicky reply. I'm actually in Mt Barker, not Wistow. Will service be available at all for the next 10 days?

  • PostingGeneral real halo lore facts (@PostingGeneral) reported

    anyway ordering optus 5g home internet because the builder for the new house we're renting neglected to lodge an application with nbnco and it'll take months to fix 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

  • shelliemcevoy Shellie McEvoy (@shelliemcevoy) reported

    @Telstra @Optus how is there NO SERVICE in 99% of Gymea, NSW 2227?

  • grapejuixeblues sin 🌱 34 (@grapejuixeblues) reported

    so when ******** were people gonna tell me that perth’s concert is NOT at optus stadium

  • Pezzamystic1 Pez 🐦 (@Pezzamystic1) reported

    Dear @Optus do we have an update on customer information security since the recent data hack? Yesterday I had a scam caller purporting to be from my bank with details that could only be gained from data from #Optus

  • owenbrandt Owen Brandt (@owenbrandt) reported

    @Optus your customer service has gone downhill over the last month. For a customer of over 11 years, I’ve been treated appalling. Monies owed, been promised call backs and doesn’t eventuate. Just a terrible experience

  • WendyWoo3757 Wendy Irving (@WendyWoo3757) reported

    Hey @Optus, why did I have to list my credit card details when I opened my account but you never direct debit the amount I owe? I end up late each month. Why can’t you just send me a bill each month?

  • PoE_fanatic James Smart (he/him) (@PoE_fanatic) reported

    @Optus It seems to have rectified itself but I do have this problem from time to time. I've done a traceroute in Windows and the issue seems to be a particular router on the NBN.

  • simRC_au simRC (@simRC_au) reported

    @Optus here we go again. Your app bots are crap.

  • crispea_ crispin (they/them) (@crispea_) reported

    i will attempt to irl stream again today! my fault for not getting the right SIM (apparently Optus is better for streaming than Vodafone... my bad!)
