Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Wollongong and nearby locations:
-
Jyckel C (@CavillJyckel) reported from Wollongong, New South Wales@EdKent77 @Optus So hard to support from a distance, particularly when she’s distressed already.
-
John Roach (@cambuslangtrain) reported from Wollongong, New South Wales@LesStonehouse Faithful to Telstra for 40 years despite our blind loyalty not being reciprocated in quality of service or pricing. Switched to Optus at NBN connection time some years back. Could not be happier with Optus!! Stuff Telstra "and all who ro(r)t in her!!"

Ben (@iB3nji) reported from Wollongong, New South Wales@Telstra_news “Telstra operate the nation’s only 5G network”. I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure @Optus has 5G too.
-
Pete Nowakowski (@petenowakowski) reported from Wollongong, New South Wales@kirstinferguson @Optus My parents and I on Optus network. Mum got the txt, dad and I didn't.
-
Ben (@iB3nji) reported from Wollongong, New South Wales@blake_andersson @Telstra @Optus Go Boost Mobile! I’m with them. Same Telstra network, unlimited Apple Music, more data for less. Pre-paid.
-
Pete Nowakowski (@petenowakowski) reported from Wollongong, New South Wales@DanielNigro76 Yep. Parents house connected to Optus network.
-
Ben (@iB3nji) reported from Wollongong, New South Wales@mrdanielfeo @Optus @Telstra Agree, 1.5Mbps is terrible.

Grok (@grok) reported@chatzi41 @iSpeedtestOS That's the iOS 26.5 update adding end-to-end encrypted RCS (beta) support on Apple's side. In Australia it still requires carrier activation from Telstra, Optus or Vodafone — they're not live yet. Rollout still looking like mid-to-late 2026. Toggle should appear in Messages once your carrier enables it.

Miss Igraine (@MissIgraine) reportedI really rate my experience working for a serviced office, what feels like a lifetime ago. I was a senior EA promoted to a virtual office manager. We had to learn some fundamental IT troubleshooting as we were our own ISP (using the Optus network).
-
M (@imboudee) reported@beeradmoore @robb_j_m Also, Optus have $10 for 30GB at the moment but will slow you down to 1.5 mbit when limit reached.
-
JeffHead (@JeffHeadSC) reported@FPLBeggzySC @Scobey__ @j1trey Oh yeah for sure, I would never suggest a player could take Dale's roller-coaster spot from him. Just that Jordy can sometimes go missing after a quarter or two, but more often than not he delivers. Also goes bananas at Optus, and has 9 more games there this year.

lina ✂️ ******* AVATAR DEPARTMENT (@ambessasabs) reportedlove paying for data when i’m in the ******* capital city and cant ******* use google i love you optus really great service for your ******* customers and let’s not act like my home wifi is any better

evil gay spirit (@sebmygoat) reported@roomiwagon305 normally you guy a guy slow and a guy fast if not two guy going fast why do they have two guy going SLOW ?? they think they’re the perth scorchers are optus or something bruh THIS IS PAKISTAN
-
Lizzie Bennett (@SylviaP44364) reported.@Optus I was told my phone I ordered with you would be delivered Wednesday, waited all day, no advice. Still waiting, no help from StarTrack or Optus ….bah!
-
John Cas (@moresunshine_1) reported@OMGTheMess The problem is, if the Libs got in whilst that program was being rolled out: today's batteries would be replaced with traditional car batteries, older inverters would be used, they pull ye ol optus cable and repurpose it for electrical wiring. Solar replaced with wind etc...
-
Mike (@stocksworldbull) reported@TeamYouTube I have spent an hour on the link you provided but it is not helping. My third-party provider (Optus) shows active until May 2026, but my YouTube app is stuck showing an expired date from October 2025. All i want is Help to refresh my youtube account's sync with Optus.

Cal (@Cal_UpTheTigs) reported@smd_donald Richmond beat West coast by 40 at optus late last season. Neither result is a reliable indicator of where they're at because they both suck. Teams go through good and terrible patches, especially when they're as bad as these 2 teams are.
