Optus Issues Reports Near Illewong, State of New South Wales

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

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

    @craigthomler @stilgherrian If I understand it right it’s an Optus CUSTOMER human error or an Optus EMPLOYEE human error. Either way, it’s an Optus company problem and responsibility.

  • 50to39 Donna Longhurst (@50to39) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @SEggminder @Optus Hackers can duplicate any business header, info, even "security" so closely that it fools a lot of people. They set up their own sites complete with phone numbers. I got hacked that way. I avoid links completely these days. I never call the number sent in these txts or emails.

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

    @Jeremy_Kirk I think @Optus is in some deep trouble.

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

    Optus has put out a statement addressing the government criticism of the company. As a customer I’m still waiting for any communication from the company at all. Hello @optus, when do you intend to contact customers? #optushack

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

    Unusual spam WhatsApp message and unsolicited phone calls since #optusdatabreach count now at 2. Awesome 👍👍 I'm not even a customer anymore. Why did they keep my data? @Optus

  • lyng62 Lyn (aka The Tractor 🚜) (@lyng62) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @HullKiwi I had considered doing something like that. But Optus have let us all down this week so I’m at the point of thinking they can get ******

  • fictillius Sagittarius (Sgr) A* (@fictillius) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @InsideRetailau @Optus Nothing was broken into, it was left out in the open.

  • DraganLazik D R A G A N (@DraganLazik) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @MadsMelbourne @Optus **** yeah you're right when you activate the sim, so stupid they don't need it either

  • pat_norman Pat Norman (@pat_norman) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    My partner got the email from Optus and my jaw hit the floor reading it. “Don’t worry the network is fine…but your drivers licence, date of birth, name, email, and phone number have all been compromised”. I can’t think of a *worse* possible breach.

  • bcurrall80 Blake Currall (@bcurrall80) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @gomikestevens @Optus As a current Optus customer, I am still yet to receive any correspondence from them about this colossal **** up

  • IaenCordell Iaen Cordell (@IaenCordell) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    At last I got an answer for my 3G issues, they have switched off 3G 2100MHZ 3G in Artarmon! Now if they just informed the clowns in customer circus, then again Optus have a more current example of not advising customers! <grin>

  • raptisj68 John Raptis (@raptisj68) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @trevorlong You're lucky Trevor, I've been a customer since the analogue days and still haven't received an email from @Optus notifying me of the breach.

  • chrisjackis Chris Jack (@chrisjackis) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    If laughable that @PeterDutton_MP suggests the #OptusDataBreach is a problem for the government. It’s an Optus issue about a breach in Optus customer data. Let Optus sort things out and investigate first. #auspol

  • GT_AUS Graeme T (he/him)💉x 4😷 - 🌳🌲🌴🌵 (@GT_AUS) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @RichardKGrump Couple of IT peeps on RN just a moment ago. Of opinion real internal system problems given what Optus has said. 🤔 Real = should NOT have happened as a result of poor system/s.

  • emzsuri 𝑬𝒎𝒎𝒂 𝑴𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒎𝒃𝒊 (@emzsuri) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Arrived in BNE and switched my sim to Optus and was welcomed with a message regarding cyberattack on Optus resulting in customer information being stolen. 😳 wow, no firewalls or any contingencies? Shutting down all my Aus Bank accounts 😑

  • 50to39 Donna Longhurst (@50to39) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @SEggminder @Optus Probably the small cogs in the chain on the phone not getting all the info from the bosses. Doesn't help situation.

  • jazza1983 Jarrod McCloughan (@jazza1983) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Hi @Optus I am a former customer of yours. You may have an old email on file for me so you may have not reached me by email if one was sent. Will I be notified by mail if the email bounced back? Thanks

  • GT_AUS Graeme T (he/him)💉x 4😷 - 🌳🌲🌴🌵 (@GT_AUS) reported from Sydney, State of 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.🤔🤔

  • lyng62 Lyn (aka The Tractor 🚜) (@lyng62) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @wallyscr Thanks Aaron. I had been considering getting a dongle or a SIM card or something with Optus just to keep the account (been with them nearly 30 years) but recent events have given me bad juju

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

    @southwin28 @Optus I’m still waiting but have discovered Vodafone has a better offer. If Optus wants to keep me as a customer they will now have to match Vodafone

  • beau_d_carter CUNTY HUNTY (He/Him) (@beau_d_carter) reported

    So now it’s 25th and it’s been 6 weeks and now your latest technician has informed me that I placed the initial upgrade incorrectly. It’s a different story each time. Sort your **** out. @Optus

  • OrangeGuyGood Woke = Retrogression (@OrangeGuyGood) reported

    @nogulagsagain That's why I haven't moved an inch, & found no reason to change my IDs since Optus, Medibank & two other businesses entities contacted me about data breaches in the last 3 weeks. It's a planned panic I think. And the proposed solutions for a centralised ID don't help but worsen.

  • Mattox_81 Mattox (@Mattox_81) reported

    Made the switch over to @Aussie_BB from Optus today, After Being an Optus customer for 7 years with annoying customer service and long wait times on the phone It finally feels good to get some real quick and easy customer service with an easy connection process cheers @Aussie_BB

  • SueEllCee Sue C 🐯 (@SueEllCee) reported

    @DustyPee Its bound to be for sale somewhere on the web....(fellow Optus customer here)

  • sailor_searcher Daniel (@sailor_searcher) reported

    @MookiMoohi Just got one as well, addressed to my house but with someone else's name on it. Never been an Optus customer.

  • TheEveX Eve X 🍎 (@TheEveX) reported

    I don't wanna be yelling at a phone company amidst the post-festival glow, but I lost my phone this weekend & instead of resting I am doing the Thing. Optus will be replacing my passport. If you need help navigating this shitstorm, their direct Data Breach line is 1300 136 664

  • JustABlokeTV Justabloke (@JustABlokeTV) reported

    Hey @Optus I shouldn’t have to spend hours and hours on hold in chat or the phone to leave you. I also shouldn’t be lied to as a customer… now I’m being told, you can’t even pass phone calls internally… how terrible is your customer service

  • will070572 Will (@will070572) reported

    @steelite @Optus I am having the same problem I got a Apple Watch 8 from Optus store and have not been able to set up the number share. I have contacted Optus on a number of occasions and have not got a resolution after a week. I am ready to return the watch and cancel my service with Optus

  • TfatnownaF Tyson F (@TfatnownaF) reported

    @strangerous10 @SenPaterson Anyone who votes against increasing penalties for breach of data must be on the moon. It is an insult to those poor customers of Optus and Medibank who might lose it all. You are in space James Paterson.

  • ollierafc Pommie_Ollie (@ollierafc) reported

    Is anyone with @Optus saying they have signal but nothings loading??
