  • ashrehn ash rehn (@ashrehn) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @David_M_Green Optus sent tech to address I’ve not lived at for 4 years & where my cable service had been with another company. & billed my credit card without authorisation. & failed to pay agreed compo. They store customer details without permission. At least you got an apology! #optusguy

  • LeanneCocolea73 Leanne Blake (@LeanneCocolea73) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus When is the Internet going to be working in Sylvania Waters & Sylvania in Sydney NSW. No Bush Fires . Just some Wind. 2 nights now & absolutely no Need to be Down. NO land line Phone Either. I live with 2 Old People I want it to Work.

  • Dean_Nye Dean Nye (@Dean_Nye) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    So @Optus are trying to charge me $50 for calling Air NZ after my flight got cancelled and I had no other option. When I call to enquire and complain they hang up on me. Happy Tuesday.

  • LeanneCocolea73 Leanne Blake (@LeanneCocolea73) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Hail Storm, Hail the Size of Golf ***** & Bigger & Tree's coming down in the Area. Not a problem. But you cannot handle Wind ! For 2 nights ,I have had No Internet & my Elderly Parents have No Home Phone. Look at the Picture above. I live in there. No Fires. FIX Please

  • Costaki__ Costaki (@Costaki__) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Optus Sport now getting the J-League rights. Must say I hated Optus Sports when it began as it was issue after issue but now they are fantastic and just keep improving year on year.

  • TwoHalves45 Will G (@TwoHalves45) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @BJssoR @bigmig81 I’d love to see all football head to Optus in time. Their coverage is 2nd to none. And their stocks continue to rise. Unlike Fox who have been ripping us dry with ridiculous subscriptions for many years. Well had as I will never subscribe again.

  • piersg የጎቿዪነ ኗዐዐዕዘቿሠ (@piersg) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @optus NBN seems down in 2044, and 4G is pretty slow (and yr status page is slower still)

  • alanwedesweiler Alan Wedesweiler (@alanwedesweiler) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Thanks for the message Jono. But I find it quite strange that a company whose net worth in 2019 rose 13 per cent to $S3.9 billion can’t or won’t tell me when a $1500ish phone is arriving and takes over 14 days to “understand” an incident.

  • Tegan_Writes 𝚃𝚎𝚐𝚊𝚗 𝙹𝚘𝚗𝚎𝚜 (@Tegan_Writes) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @tweet_Krishan Yeah agreed. I wrote about Optus in particular for that last year when the whole not working indoors thing wasn’t disclosed in a easy or accessible way for customers

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

    @optus my service tech who was supposed to arrive between 1-5pm today has not turned up. I took the afternoon off work to wait for them, but they haven’t arrived. This is the 3rd time they have failed to arrive.

  • willbrownsydney Will (@willbrownsydney) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus home Internet knocked out by storm. Customer service recommended I call into an Optus store & get a dongle. Great solution, I thought. Charging me $99 to get a service I'm already paying for is not. #RipOff

  • arafattehsin Arafat Tehsin (@arafattehsin) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @simone_au @Optus Telco customer services are joke here. Once I reported the similar issue to @VictorDominello's team about this and they straight away transferred my query to the Minister of Comm, Cyber Safety and Arts and I never heard back. 👏

  • NickBurrough Nick Burrough (@NickBurrough) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Sarah, the last message was from Optus. So you do not know internally what is broken

  • Harmanj99145603 Sardaar_huni (@Harmanj99145603) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Very disappointed @Optus Poor connection in Blacktown, sydney. Since last October and this problem has not been dealt with. All i have got is compensating data , apologies or false assurity of fixing the problem. Loosing it now 😖

  • gwynne007 Adam Gwynne (@gwynne007) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @JamiePandaram @dailytelegraph @ALeague @Foxtel Not the end of Rugby of course. Doubt Optus can give enough money to keep SANZAR happy. RA and states go bankrupt, clubs establish new governing body. Our best players thus go overseas, money pours back down into club rugby to the point best remaining players earn a living wage.

  • PezLP Pez (@PezLP) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    So @Optus are *************** now. I’ve had minimal internet over the last 72 hours, tech call today who replaced a modem. He said “it usually only takes 10 minutes to activate”. Now almost 12 hours later still no internet with tech support saying it can take 24. I’m so done.

  • Gamer_Blak3 Blakey (@Gamer_Blak3) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus internet down 12hrs and counting 😳😳😳 I’d be embarrassed

  • bigyahu alan “Ally Of The Oppressive Matriarchy” jones* (@bigyahu) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @simonwaight @Telstra @Optus This is a business account which apparently by law they have to issue a monthly paper statement for. Part of me wants to let them keep sending me paper statements for years. But environment says no.

  • NickBurrough Nick Burrough (@NickBurrough) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Your website says “Reduced Service”. Technically I guess no service could be described as no service!

  • AzzyChill Azzy Less Than Chilled (@AzzyChill) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Great, my @Optus network just cut out now only HSDPA works

Optus Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • needlesineyes needleineyes (@needlesineyes) reported

    Optus has a large team of security and network professional , even them could not protect and mitigate all risks all the time. No wonder my Optus number kept getting calls from strange numbers from around the world. #cybersecurity @Optus @PeterDutton_MP @AlboMP #hackers

  • damelarksong4 Chris Matthews Our Flag Means...Kaurna Country😷 (@damelarksong4) reported

    any customer adversely affected by the Optus failure to protect data should be compensated by the company #insiders

  • benraue Ben Raue (@benraue) reported

    I've been meaning for a while to downgrade my mobile plan since I barely use any of my GBs. The @Optus website tells me to message them, but the messaging app doesn't work. I guess they've got a bit on?

  • ajobbins Adam Jobbins (@ajobbins) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @seemsforever Yeah, I've been the information risk owner of large, externally facing systems like this and it's the nightmare situation. But reading how the hack was done, it's crazy that Optus didn't know about this vulnerability, or if they did and didn't fix it....😬

  • goodroundboy Sweet William (Shark) (@goodroundboy) reported

    @ragnarzdrapa @tanyavolt oh awesome thanks!! i’ve just been waiting on optus to resolve another security issue i’ve had with them prior to all this bs hahaha

  • JillMid85551694 Jill Vote Yes. (@JillMid85551694) reported

    @just_brash @ElaineM11584892 I'll never forget a nurse colleague coming to work upset by an optus bill charging the monthly rate plus an extra $1000 due to "excess usage" . We howled optus out on her behalf and they backed right off. A legal and public exposure. We nurses don't forget.

  • ZucchiniBikini Empress Zucchini (@ZucchiniBikini) reported

    We got our Optus notice today - must have been in the less risky basket, bc we never provided them with passport, DL etc (we signed up before ID verification was a requirement, waaaaay back in the early noughts). Apparently they got hubs' name, phone number, email & address.

  • borningore Nathan Thompson (@borningore) reported

    @ianbfarquhar Even worse. I’m a former #optus customer - left them a few years ago - and I’ve just been informed that my data (including ID documents) was compromised. Why did they keep my data?

  • emmaandollie Polite proponent of Health & Safety 😷🍃🪟🌬💉 (@emmaandollie) reported

    @DrKate_Miller @Optus The irony is that whenever I’ve wanted to check my account info and usage, I’ve found it very difficult and usually had to reset my password. So the security for their customer interface was very high……

  • Banana16Eric Eric Banana (@Banana16Eric) reported

    @ZiptieZoe @NinetyF85719218 @agarner No. Not in my experience. Good companies and I mean Blue Chip follow process and procedure because they know the damage it can cause. Like this debacle from Optus. The Management from the top down needs to be replaced and introduce a new work ethic.
