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

  • kelly_sargison Kelly Sargison (@kelly_sargison) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus I have been trying to use your live chat function through the app all night. I explained the situation twice and both times the “agent” left without resolving anything. My partner has also tried twice to no avail. Terrible customer experience. 🤯

  • eileen_1956 Eileen B Kenny (@eileen_1956) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus ❌❌ Big crosses 4 u. No internet for 5 weeks; no solution for 5 weeks. A lot of blame & being thrown backwards & 4wards. Family dependent on me having a l/line as on emergency alarm. ❌❌

  • BaethanEnergy Baethan Mullen (@BaethanEnergy) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra That I (and every other Telstra customer at the game) experiences congestion is self evident. My question was why the so-called “premium” network seems to have the worst experience of this. Other networks (@Optus and even @VodafoneAU) are more useable at these events.

  • Alex_I_88 Alex (@Alex_I_88) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra It improves when I go into the city. It seems to be a signal issue in Brunswick! I would normally say it may be something to do with the walls/building but as Optus works perfectly fine I can’t see that being the issue!

  • BFlutterby Bron Flutterby (@BFlutterby) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus we are eagerly awaiting the internet and landline phone to be working here in Upwey 3158 We rang this morning and we're told could be 24-48 hours.. with no explanation.. just an 'outage across Victoria'

  • mr_thomas_bee Thomas Bailey (@mr_thomas_bee) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    .@masterchefau Optus Stadium is less than two years old and is named after a telecom company with irritating commercials and spotty service. Let’s just say it isn’t necessarily ‘hallowed ground’.

  • Shami2512 Shamila Gopalan (@Shami2512) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus we signed up for nbn 4 weeks ago & hv not received a modem!! Hv called abt 6x, visited ur store & yet nothing! This is seriously ridiculous! Ur level of service is the worst we have ever experienced!!!

  • cbzrifleCSGO cbzrifle (@cbzrifleCSGO) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @iyencs @Optus help the man fools

  • vap0urz Vap0urz (@vap0urz) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Can’t wait to get rid of @Optus as my internet provider... Terrible just terrible

  • chrisbchoi Christopher Choi (@chrisbchoi) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus I have sent you my ptus cable account no. Via DM please fix the continuous dropout issue on my cable

  • Uberstooks Amber [HGG] (@Uberstooks) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Energizer_916 @Optus Well then, it’s just complete and utter shit internet. These ISP’s take the absolute piss out of the shoddy service they provide, which they’ve all jacked up their prices for. Shittier internet for more money. New Zealand has better internet FFS.

  • stevescicluna Steve Scicluna (@stevescicluna) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @phbarratt You must have had terrible Optus cable. I get close to 100 Mbps. I’m in no hurry to switch to NBN delivered via Telstra’s cable.

  • eileen_1956 Eileen B Kenny (@eileen_1956) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @NBN_Australia ❌❌ Big crosses 4 u. No internet for 5 weeks; no solution for 5 weeks. A lot of blame & being thrown backwards & 4wards between Optus & you. Family dependent on me having a l/line as on emergency alarm. ❌❌

  • kenyathes Brian (@kenyathes) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @TIOAustralia I am having issues with @optus with regards with my internet. I have been trying to get a replacement modem which is PnP and they are suggesting a tech with no definite time,but a span of hours means I have to take time off work and hope that they will come or not

  • eileen_1956 Eileen B Kenny (@eileen_1956) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus Well done Optus. After support yesterday we r unable to access our network as our password no longer works. The problem just gets worse every time we speak with you.

  • eileen_1956 Eileen B Kenny (@eileen_1956) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @NBN_Australia @Optus Dear NBN & Optus - yet another Optus tech out this AM. Outcome: After nearly 2 months of problems - worst service of that whole period, 25 secs in, drop out, reconnect, 25 secs in, drop out ... the cycle continues 😡😡😡😡

  • eileen_1956 Eileen B Kenny (@eileen_1956) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus We’ve had all this. Tried raising a complaint and guess what .. put through to the Phillipines away from Sydney.

  • itsabelslife Bella 🎡 (@itsabelslife) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Hey @Optus I don’t know what you’ve done with Optus chat & now made it Optus Messaging. But it’s shit! 1 reply with a stupid question like is it still happening. Of course it’s happening. And now no response Bring back people who can help and bring back chat!

  • PaulMaric Paul Maric (@PaulMaric) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @trevorlong @Telstra ...I wouldn’t have the same confidence with an Optus or Vodafone service.

  • lesposen lesposen (@lesposen) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @playswithf1re @NickRossTech @R_Chirgwin @gordon_j To be sure. I need something for my awful 3G/4G cell tower issue where I am mostly getting SOS level signals… I’m right in the middle of an area where three towers don’t overlap. Have to use wifi calling. When the modem goes down every few days (Optus NBN) I go into a comms hole

Optus Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Gergyl Gerg (@Gergyl) reported

    Question: How does Optus know whose data was actually accessed? We guess from the server logs. The 'hacker' says they enumerated an Optus 'customer ID' to access the records, presumably via a separate URL for each, each of which the server would log.

  • bluemoonmonday SUMMER BLUE (@bluemoonmonday) reported

    @VictorDominello Seriously? Get Optus to reimburse you like other states are doing...I got caught in the Service NSW Breach a couple of years ago too...

  • Breezybaby1811 "Ajna" (@Breezybaby1811) reported

    @noplaceforsheep I just got an email stating my data is breached. I haven’t been an Optus customer for 17 years. Can’t get my license done for days/weeks as we are remote/rural, it’s raining and we are cut off from the town that does that. When I can get there it will be a day off work.

  • dboyrees 💧DavidR🐀😈 (@dboyrees) reported

    @eddielechat @RichardKGrump @TPG_Telecom Amaysim are a great mobile phone company, but they are using the Optus network

  • missjanesocial MissJane (@missjanesocial) reported

    @mjrowland68 @BreakfastNews Nothing since generic email. A fail on crisis comms from them. And will vicroads allow Optus customers to change licence numbers now, as in other states?

  • SaysChez ChezSez (@SaysChez) reported

    @7NewsAdelaide @PMalinauskasMP It’s a long drive for me and the waiting times to get a new drivers licence. I’m not impressed being a former Optus customer.

  • GoddessSpanna Goddess Spanna 🔧 (@GoddessSpanna) reported

    About to call Optus and I'll go all Karen demanding free **** cause of breach of privacy... Need to channel my real inner woggy *** as there's something about how the oldies did **** to get free **** lol

  • pdnsgaming Pdnsgaming (@pdnsgaming) reported

    @9NewsAUS @cokeefe9 To all the comments Simply, optus, other telcos etc require 100point of ID when you sign up for a service. A passport/drivers license is part of that The info stolen can be used to sign up for credit cards, loans etc in your name. Not necessarily to gain access 2 other accounts

  • hamann_fiona Fiona Hamann (@hamann_fiona) reported

    @mjrowland68 @BreakfastNews I have had zip zero nix nadda. At all. No idea if I have been breached and have got all my info from the news. Nothing from #optus. Terrible incident management and crisis comms.

  • ChandAshok Ashok Chand (@ChandAshok) reported

    Can @Optus Chairman of Board of Directors tell us customers if the Board mandated that “a bug bounty program” should be in place to attract good guys to find and fix security issues #OptusDataBreach #auspol #OptusDataBreach
