Optus Issues Reports Near Cowes, State of Victoria

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • monicasmeow Monicasmeow🐈 (@monicasmeow) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @mik_rosser @verbaliza That sort of makes no sense because it’s generally the gaining provider who would be at fault. So if you want to connect with Telco B for NBN it’s on Telco B. If Telco A (Optus) keep billing you that is different issue not necessarily connected to a new connection.

  • 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

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

    @Optus your wifi sucks BIG TIME

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Nikkiwu8 mammashark23 (@Nikkiwu8) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus Optus app service shows service unavailable!! Called to Optus put me on hold transfer me to other departments and call hung up. I want to get my Optus perks work!! This is not acceptable service!!

  • _prkr Parker (@_prkr) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Turns on data roaming and it connects to optus... settings>data>network> @Telstra 🙏🏻

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • GregRandall1 TheWeed (@GregRandall1) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @JohnBirmingham @Telstra @Optus Oh I feel your pain. I had to organise internet with a fixed IP address for my Mum’s home security cams. She kept cancelling her internet account because “I don’t use that rubbish” and setting up new, costly phone accounts that involved cancel fees. #dayslost

  • Nikkiwu8 mammashark23 (@Nikkiwu8) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus I am Optus customer and tried to book discounts HOYTS movie tickets. Website is not working

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • AGhostMachine 𝔾𝕙𝕠𝕤𝕥𝕀𝕟𝕋𝕙𝕖𝕄𝕒𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕖 (@AGhostMachine) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus Yup - bought some extra data and continued to use the Optus 4g to power my household. I will be sending the bill the way of Telstra if they ever try to resolved the issue :(

  • 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”.

  • Alex_Carlton Alexandra Carlton (@Alex_Carlton) reported

    @Optus I am trying to communicate with your online chat about a modem problem and am getting absolutely nowhere. Please can someone help me

  • Daft_Doughnut James 🙈 (@Daft_Doughnut) reported

    No offense, but @Optus support via phone, message & in-store is flipping useless 🙄

  • RossStewart14 DIY Ross. (@RossStewart14) reported

    @optus . Is there any reason why you block the use of third-party modem/routers to access my @NBN_Australia account? Tech support refused to help. Your modem/router was simply not up to task in my house.

  • willie1foot Stewart (@willie1foot) reported

    @johnsy123aus @NBN_Australia Then you need to contact Optus; it may not be an NBN issue. Your agreement is with your ISP and they should sort out the issue for you.

  • fairdin04443704 Fairdinkum. (@fairdin04443704) reported

    @Brian_Chancey @Bovada @IgnitionCasino You are not alone matey, same issue here with Optus. Normally a Mirror site is available, this is not the first time it's happened to me over the years. Currently haven't found a solution yet either, if I do i will let you know. = )

  • PatriciaWorldPW PatriciaPW 🏳️‍⚧️ (Check Pinned) (@PatriciaWorldPW) reported

    @Optus something is wrong with the signal where I am as I'm in Sydney (not in like the city or anything) and it's just being really bad. So my question is do you know what is happening?

  • Simon_Morel Simon Morel (@Simon_Morel) reported

    @Optus Prices going up. No free Optus sport. Already very poor customer support worse than ever. After almost 20 years with you as a 2xmobile and internet customer I'm moving. See ya.

  • Vass2016 Vass (@Vass2016) reported

    @SarkySage @Optus For the past 3 weeks we have been getting our internet in blocks of about 6 hours before it goes off. Sometimes we have a full day and then we don't have it for 1-2 days. Like the old Soviet system. That's @Optus for you. NBN come around say there is no problem and we start again

  • troydodds Troy Dodds (@troydodds) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Another day, another @VodafoneAU outage (ongoing for 6+ months now). If you live in Penrith, don't touch Vodafone or @Optus (the primary network). You'd be better off with a carrier pigeon.

  • johnsy123aus stephen (@johnsy123aus) reported

    @NBN_Australia @Optus I have less than 1.7 mbps speed on the NBN hardly acceptable, but I’ve been waiting a week now , for the NBN to get off their overpaid fat arses and fix it , one broken appointment, where they didn’t even bother to turn up or tell me they weren’t
