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

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

    @Optus has the worst customer service ever. I tried to organise nbn through their online chat and they flat out lied to me in order to get my business.

  • scousehelen helen drinoczky (@scousehelen) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus 30 minutes wait on all lines, long wait too on 'live chat' then having to swap between several different departments and still cannot fix the issues. 😠

  • 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

  • RandzyBirb Bird 🅱️⭕️ℹ️ (@RandzyBirb) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus your 4g home internet is shit, latency through the roof and super inconsistent. Plus your technical support is no help 😡😡😡😡

  • AdamTho88718953 Adam Thompson (@AdamTho88718953) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus I really don’t know why we pay for this crap. Get screwed around during week and changed which I had to ring up because my internet wasn’t working, no one would have informed that my plan got changed or whatever.

  • abhi_khandu एनोनिमस (@abhi_khandu) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    In the world where you can do almost anything with a touch off a button. I had to drop off from 30mins (4 times) waiting call on @Telstra @TelstraEnt. It's like #telstra penalize you for been their customer. #pathetic service #domo #optus #dodo

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

    @mark_barbs @iiNet Ditch them mate. I was on @iiNet and had loads of issues and was just met with bureaucratic “help”. Got nowhere - wasted my time. For the same monthly price with @Optus went from 2Mb/s (at best) to 30Mb/s consistently.

  • xafarr Muhammad Zafar (@xafarr) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Hey @Optus, I am trying to connect to your support chat for the past 2 days without success. It seems that you intentionally made extremely difficult to get to customer service #badcustomerservice

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

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

  • AdamTho88718953 Adam Thompson (@AdamTho88718953) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus thanks for waiting my afternoon so now a technician needs to come out cause AGAIN THE DAMN SERVICE DOES NOT WORK! And oh apparently my landline number has changed but AGAIN NO ONE FGGGGGKING TELLS YOU ANYTHING. Like my plan got changed and now my fggking landline FGGGGK!!!

  • 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 ***********.

  • timewaster2000 Mark Gambino 🗿 (@timewaster2000) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    It pays to shop around for @NBN_Australia products, even if you’re on contract. I may pay a cancellation fee to sever my @Optus ADSL service, but the zero install fee and lower monthly cost of another company will see me ~$50 better off over 24 months, plus enjoy faster speeds.

  • poonamjsamant POONAM (@poonamjsamant) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus every single time I travel.. I have issues with travel pack. Or with extra charges.. Or with international calling. Maybe it's time to change service to good old Telstra

  • 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.

  • Paul_Coniglio Paul_In_Melb (@Paul_Coniglio) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @cooksey_ben @Optus Ben we are in 3195 and our cable net down too. Colleague in parkdale reporting no mobile phone coverage on Optus either in 3195.

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

    @Optus And I have spoken to nbnco themselves and they have confirmed that you are flat out lying to me. The times available depend on the provider NOT the nbn. Further proving how bad the customer service at Optus has been.

  • AdamTho88718953 Adam Thompson (@AdamTho88718953) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus then i to top it off ever since my adsl2+, got changed I have had 6 drop outs this weekend lucky if it stays on for 1-2 hours this is a disgrace. Then I’ll end up on no bloody network which I’m guessing it will be WORSE.!!!!

  • li_dpq li 🤷🏻‍♀️ (@li_dpq) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Hoping our internet (@Optus) doesn't drop out. We're getting the PPV. Tried to contact tech support, nothing was really resolved. 🙌🏼

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

    Hi Optus, where can I send my invoice to Optus for days lost, ADSL was meant to be transferred on the 18th Jan. ADSL connection was activated on 19th Feb. The connection has been running at 2mbs. An Optus technician was booked last week to check the line. They said the issue was

  • LusciousLani Ms Banani (@LusciousLani) reported

    @Optus No thanks Jim. No offence, but this customer is absolutely done with pretending your DM’s are helpful. You’re gonna send me a form to fill out, then **** off & never check in again. I’m just going to livetweet the next 9 hours of being ****** around like I did last week.

  • taiberus taiberus (@taiberus) reported

    @Optus I have an internet issue and Optus techs keep saying that it will take 24-48 hours to get your internet back...it has been a week now. My ticket was escalated to the customer resolution department 5 days ago... have not heard from them... horrible service.

  • eduienna Michael Ienna (@eduienna) reported

    @Optus - 25min to simply change one month to month contract to another, which included having to facial recognition myself to send even more data to you when I am already a member. This should be a one click process inside a users login portal.

  • rajeevsunu Rajeev Sunu ( Isunu) (@rajeevsunu) reported

    @markhumphries @james007_300 The words “connection charges”by NBN is at best an alternate truth.Their cable is inside all the dwellings so that they can sell internet access.They then need to flick the switch in their NOC or “provision” so that service provider like Optus can retail the services.

  • WendyWoo3757 Wendy Irving (@WendyWoo3757) reported

    Hey @Optus, why did I have to list my credit card details when I opened my account but you never direct debit the amount I owe? I end up late each month. Why can’t you just send me a bill each month?

  • skrrtmegan megan (@skrrtmegan) reported

    @Optus i hope all of u rot in hell u worthless pieces of trash ong. internet doesnt even work properly and when it does its slow (just like ur brains) and data doesnt even work (just like u guys) how we in 2022 and have internet worse than third world countries

  • Pezzamystic1 Pez 🐦 (@Pezzamystic1) reported

    Dear @Optus do we have an update on customer information security since the recent data hack? Yesterday I had a scam caller purporting to be from my bank with details that could only be gained from data from #Optus

  • skrrtmegan megan (@skrrtmegan) reported

    @Optus nah **** yous we call all the time and you never resolve ****. its always different answers from different ***** who dont know what theyre talking about. no outages btw, just your internet service being a ******** like usual

  • shelliemcevoy Shellie McEvoy (@shelliemcevoy) reported

    @Telstra @Optus how is there NO SERVICE in 99% of Gymea, NSW 2227?

  • _stevebarrett Steve Barrett (@_stevebarrett) reported

    @Optus Fetch TV, I’ve seen stream quality issues before, it was frustrating when I tweeted when all highlight streams I tried were struggling
