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

  • Shuttlecock Brad Stephenson☕️ (@Shuttlecock) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    This plus the 3 weeks of delays in getting the modem, the basic billing errors, signing me up for Fetch without my permission, and the customer support cases that go nowhere or are just randomly terminated... First time with Optus and honestly never again. Do not recommend.

  • Shuttlecock Brad Stephenson☕️ (@Shuttlecock) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    I'm going to look into switching to @Telstra 's 5G next week Been using @Optus for a few months now and it never gets 5G (despite me being close to a tower) and the 4G completely turns off 2-4 times a day every day requiring constant modem reboots Support never gets back to me

  • Shuttlecock Brad Stephenson☕️ (@Shuttlecock) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @AboutIndia My apartment building can't get the NBN even though our street has it. Cancelled the wired internet service a few months back because it was so slow and switched to Optus 5G broadband. Literally 2 blocks from 2 different 5G towers but modem just disconnects.

  • SuzieDamjanovic SUZIE DAMJANOVIC (@SuzieDamjanovic) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @weluvubritneyxo OHHH EM GEEE!!!!!! WELL firstly check your IG inbox . Secondly.. Optus sends a text message saying lines will be DOWN for 45 minutes!!! I HAD 5 STROKES AND 6 HEART ATTACKS... apart from that IM 👌👌👌

  • lux_cobalt Fox 🌙 1/2 vaxxed! (@lux_cobalt) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus Oh come off it I didn’t not just check again and now have an update - a tower down in Melbourne (the 16th is another week away).. but in my suburb apparently all is well? Welp. Tell him he’s dreamin’

  • bearlen Allen Foo (@bearlen) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus any 4G or mobile broadband outages in Melbourne? Both terribly slow tonight!

  • lux_cobalt Fox 🌙 1/2 vaxxed! (@lux_cobalt) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus Bruh. Still down on my end.. an entire week later.

  • s2zart s2art (@s2zart) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Using my iPhone 12 Pro to access the internet as my NBN Cable modem is down, since 07:30 @Optus

  • SumiWumi Sumi (@SumiWumi) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus Hey problem still dissent seems to be resolved ! Is nbn down in Toorak Vic ? I am using my 4G backup

  • bearlen Allen Foo (@bearlen) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus Thanks. Looks like an issue with th optus tower. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon!

  • TheOnlyLongy Longy (@TheOnlyLongy) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Kristin542 @maggiepies2010 It's their system, it can't handle the traffic.. as expected like every online live sports platform. They all fail.. same itg Optus Sport with the World Cup, Stan all year with the Rugby.. they just aren't up to it.

  • Shuttlecock Brad Stephenson☕️ (@Shuttlecock) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus @Telstra Sorry. Have been doing this dance with literally at least 20 different support personnel for the past 3 months now. Not doing this conversation again.

  • TheOnlyLongy Longy (@TheOnlyLongy) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @M_1tch I reckon on a larger ground such as Optus cats will fall apart again, Dee's no issue. Will be a open finals series for sure.

  • bthomps22 Bruce T (@bthomps22) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @NBN_Australia So can I regard this maintenance as essential or is it non-essential but not limited? Optus says it is to get more customers into the network. And you can’t do it overnight or at the weekend?

  • Aussie_ChrisC Aussie Chris 🇦🇺🐯🏆 (@Aussie_ChrisC) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus Since 1st of July network maintenance, our home internet is now 50% slower

  • EmJaeCaer Michael Carmody (@EmJaeCaer) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @ClaireOCE @pironious Exact same time frame. Grab a VPN service, home it to Sydney, tell me if it clears up. When Legacy house had Optus from sponsor deal we had client issues a few times. Just had to bypass Optus ****** internal routing.

  • shiraj_sen Shiraj Sen (@shiraj_sen) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Hey @Optus massive internet issues along with your router. Promised some things by your resolution team, but no communication for five days. What the Optus!! .... Maybe time for the TIO step in? #optusfail

  • JeromeKhalaf CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE💙 (@JeromeKhalaf) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    They just called Southgate a tactical genius. Optus sport has the worst pundits ever bro 😭

  • natyibetta NatyG ♌ (@natyibetta) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @edenxjune I don't think that awful Optus surface helps only Dusty would be better than him

  • SumiWumi Sumi (@SumiWumi) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus Hi Meg I do have access to Back up but that’s besides the point how is it that it’s happening so often and nothing gets reflected on our monthly charges ! Very disappointed and your apology doesn’t help as I have to reset the modem every 2 hours

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • shiraj_sen Shiraj Sen (@shiraj_sen) reported

    So, @VicRoads rep says that they cannot change my license number because they need court orders to do so. Also, they have 50k applications... This is after @Optus has emailed me yesterday stating that my license number has been definitely compromised. #auspol #vicpol #wtf

  • timrosen35 Tim Rosen (@timrosen35) reported

    Anyone using Vodafone 5g network? How have you found it? (Either through them or TPG etc) Specifically in Melb and Regional Victoria mostly. Likely to go with Telstra, but just curious as I’ve heard they’ve improved lately. Have been with Optus my whole life. But never again!

  • TLC_arn TLC (@TLC_arn) reported

    @SimonJohnsonAU @Optus "Dear Customer" Sheeesh even the hackers could address us by name. #OptusDataBreach

  • BlackDouglas Take5! Promoting organisational wellbeing. (@BlackDouglas) reported

    @Optus I paid my bill on the due date but have been slowed down. The app isn't working. I'm trying to reinstall the app but it isn't downloading!! CHAOS!!

  • DaveONewcastle David J O'Brien 🌏💧 (@DaveONewcastle) reported

    It's a real threat the data's been passed on via the dark web. It cld be misused at later date if new ID docs& no's aren't issued. #Optus has kept ex-customer ID no's, but doesn't nec' have current ph no, addr or email addr. Gov's need to be fully informed to manage the issue.

  • ASailADay Leonie (@ASailADay) reported

    @LeslynLewis @TomWiboltt After the optus hack last week here in Australia, no one should ever put their id online. Everyone with an optus account literally has to get new drivers licence numbers, which has enormous issues -> #OptusHack

  • Interlime Interlime (@Interlime) reported

    So I really wish I’d been in the room when some guy said there has been a massive data breach at Optus and I know how to fix it. Let’s share people’s data with more organisations. ******* genius.

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @MrSKoumas Hey Stephen, thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry to hear about the poor experience you have had with our Messenger team in the My Optus app (1/2)

  • MAndrewWaugh Andrew Waugh (@MAndrewWaugh) reported

    @ZucchiniBikini This is someone fudging & dodging the issue. Optus didn't keep copies of the identity documents; they kept the identity numbers. The numbers would likely still need to be to be obtained to index into this matching service, and then retained.

  • SparkleOps Call me Sparkle (@SparkleOps) reported

    @nnwakelam @Optus @Deloitte Open bug bounty isn't going to answer why they aren't fixing basic probably known issues.
