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

  • StepmeisterOz Snickers (@StepmeisterOz) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Well after 15 years it’s see ya @Optus & hello @Telstra I can’t believe in 2019 Optus cannot provide a 4G service in Prahran & they don’t have any plans to upgrade that black spot either. It baffles me. Oh well, a complaint to the TIO means I pay nothing to leave. #ByeFelicia

  • tiges_rule Susan Luber (@tiges_rule) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Just when I thought @Optus was finally doing right by me their inept customer service staff had to go wreck everything again. Guess I’ll be changing mobile providers.

  • TeamBloomart Guy Incognito (@TeamBloomart) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @JohnBirmingham @Telstra @Optus I used to pay my dad's bigpond account (in his name, my cc direct debit deets). When he died I tried to cancel the account. Imagine how that went.

  • Stephen02721621 Stephen (@Stephen02721621) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus @HuaweiMobileAU Try connecting me a fkn phone line - 1 month no phone - you guys suck so bad

  • roadrunner83_ Roadrunner83 (@roadrunner83_) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @heart_explodes @Optus Sounds like the issue I had. Apart from the one text I didn't get anything... I find the best way is to be all to Optus over phone. Webchat nothing seems to be done

  • abcoathup Andrew B Coathup (@abcoathup) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus Mobile reception is poor. Will deal with it tomorrow.

  • jiawhoo cheah (@jiawhoo) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus hello 👋 why is it so hard to reach optus, called twice with no return calls:( I received my nbn & router yesterday morning but the nbn has been blinking the whole day. Need help!

  • julianprice_ Julian Price (@julianprice_) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus, help! My nbn isn’t working. I’ve tried the old “off and on again” trick and I can’t see any outages in my area. Can’t get through to technical support “too busy”.

  • nonspecialist Colin Panisset (@nonspecialist) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @mipearson They had a cable outage at our place. My ticket got merged with someone else’s somehow, and I’ve spent the past 2 weeks telling Optus when they call me that they have the wrong number for a call I didn’t open. My issue did get resolved, but I bet that other customer is cranky

  • abcoathup Andrew B Coathup (@abcoathup) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus Hi, I tried phoning 131344 to report from my mobile but the signal dropped out. Still no phone line or internet.

  • mikedoeslife Mike Stevens (@mikedoeslife) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @_Michelangelo__ @Optus Now see, I had TPG a while ago and hated it. Terrible connectivity, terrible customer service, tech didn't show up when I took the day off to be home for him, then wouldn't cancel my account. So, yeah. They all suck.

  • corneliusJK Corné Kloppers (@corneliusJK) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus can you please help me activating my 4g plus modem i picked up this morning! Very frustrating as I would like to use it at home and get no response from technical support, phone or chat . Please help

  • G1NCHY g1nchy 🌏 (@G1NCHY) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @jendudley You forgot to @Telstra and @NBN_Australia. I don't feel so bad now, at least @optus replied to my tweets.

  • TheNotoriousNJW 🅽 🅹 🆆 (@TheNotoriousNJW) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus This is still a major issue. At peak hours we get glacial speeds where even loading a Twitter feed is problematic. The coverage map is not correct for the area at the end of collins street in Melbourne around 750. Was never an issue before. Something has changed.

  • mattdarveniza Matt (@mattdarveniza) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @mipearson My Optus DSL has been dropping PPPoE auth and DNS once every couple of hours for the last few months and I haven’t tried to fix it because I know contacting Optus about it is such a ***********.

  • themediapod Ross Monaghan (@themediapod) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @mjrowland68 @BreakfastNews I was getting faster speeds on the Optus cable network 15 years ago. NBN means slower and more expensive service in my area.

  • iDineshRoy Dinesh Kumar Roy (@iDineshRoy) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Hello @Optus, I am at Osway St, Broadmeadows VIC. The internet is too slow. It has been slow for a long time.

  • elvinaMS elvina sindartha ♕ (@elvinaMS) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus your wifi sucks BIG TIME

  • KoparaFallsKid Robyn D (@KoparaFallsKid) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Pamelanicholls6 @andrewofoz @JaneCaro @Telstra I do that too, using my phone as a hotspot. But that chews through the data allowance and they (in my case Optus) don't let you have extra phone data because the internet is down. They still charge $10 a Gb for extra usage over the monthly allowance.

  • mikedoeslife Mike Stevens (@mikedoeslife) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Turns out the fastest way to get service in a Telstra store is to walk in with an Optus bag in your hand

  • Michael63321388 Michael (@Michael63321388) reported

    Why is all I get on Twitter is Optus ****

  • MAC_of_wine Yasmin Whately (@MAC_of_wine) reported

    So @Optus when will you resolve your number sharing issue? Why can’t I get information from anyone?

  • LeashUnleashed Alicia B (@LeashUnleashed) reported

    @Optus Yes, I need help because yet again, for the third damn time, my replacement SIM card has not been activated. I'm sending a DM because calling and messaging on the app all week has gotten me absolutely nowhere.

  • maxfoster811 Max Foster (@maxfoster811) reported

    @GarconAU @Optus I’m in contact with Optus who have been responsive and professional but still unresolved. The offshore call centre experience was really horrible. I was transferred from the ‘support team’ to the ‘activation team’ and you guessed it, back to the ‘support team’.

  • LeashUnleashed Alicia B (@LeashUnleashed) reported

    I have been trying for FIVE DAMN DAYS to get my son's @Optus replacement SIM card activated. I have done all of the crap I've been told to over multiple phone calls (which is a nightmare when you are deaf). I have a confirmation code from yesterday FFS.

  • HerbertErpaderp Herbert Erpaderp (@HerbertErpaderp) reported

    @Optus The network status page NEVER shows any outage.

  • MattGri14935200 Matt Griffin (@MattGri14935200) reported

    @Optus have tried all afternoon to get my internet working to no avail. In Iso which is the pits. Worse thing though is your messaging chat has died on me twice and your tech support phone line can you believe it is “having technical difficulties”. At a loss 😩

  • ChelseaFCOwner ChelseaFC Adelaide (@ChelseaFCOwner) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    Commentary on Optus TV was so anti Chelsea.... they continually bagged our fans and talked @chelseafc down.

  • RR0486 (@RR0486) reported

    @Optus i've had practically no NBN since the 23rd and now the 4G is slow as a snail stuck in molasses. wtf is going on?

  • GarconAU Guy Garconnette (@GarconAU) reported

    @Optus Optus needs to do better. This has been ongoing for 3 days with no resolution. No one wants to take ownership of this issue to get it sorted. Every time I ring I am given a different or conflicting bit of information. You don't seem to take your complaints seriously either!
