Optus Outage in Hobart, State of Tasmania

Try to cancel my @Optus TV. Told I can't do it online and have to call. Call to cancel. Told I have to do it myself. Explain I can't and have been told to call. Told I will be transferred to right department. Transferred to completely different company. Pathetic

@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.
