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

  • JayJayK75 50ShadesofJay (@JayJayK75) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @allaningleton @Optus Surely someone working there would see how completely stupid that is and take it back, complete crooks mate, phone company’s these days are a nightmare to deal with

  • simoncha_n Simon Chan (@simoncha_n) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @timburrowes Most email services that Optus would be using or have the ability to use can easily handle that volume of emails. Amazon Web Services sells SES (Simple Email Service) that is very cheap and scales considerably.

  • thesiswhisperer Prof Inger Mewburn (@thesiswhisperer) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    So, @Optus put up my phone bill because 'inflation', but has done nothing about my complaint about having no coverage many times over the past 4 months. I guess it's back to @Telstra for me, but I don't hold out much hope it will be better. Duopolies suck.

  • simoncha_n Simon Chan (@simoncha_n) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @somethingshort @LinkedInAU It’s about blaming your @Optus teammates for piss poor security efforts.

  • sandraom Sandra O'Malley (@sandraom) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    Way to wreck a Sunday, try to contact @Optus to fix their substandard offering.

  • GGL_Drew Andrew Christian (@GGL_Drew) reported from Queanbeyan, State of New South Wales

    Just spoke with family in Tuross Heads. Tuross is unaffected apart from smoke. Connectivity available on the Telstra network (but not optus). Power just turned on at 2am this morning. Water is on and working. #SouthCoastFires #BushfireEmergency #tuross

  • miksta85 Michael (@miksta85) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @optus you need to fix your coverage at Gungahlin marketplace. It’s non-existent.

  • Tikkaspecial Steve Smith (@Tikkaspecial) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @Optus NBN down this morning. Website reports no issues at 2911.

  • AusLoafer Marko (@AusLoafer) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    Damn it seems George didn't lose the ******** shades at Optus Stadium... #Masterchefau

  • mariekringxx ♛Ƙring (@mariekringxx) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    hello @Optus i am network-less atm what happened

  • Colincopeland2 Col Copeland (@Colincopeland2) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @Optus is there any problems with the network in the ACT. Its very, very slow tonight

  • refjess Jess the Referee (@refjess) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @NJGalea @Optus I had so many problems with them when I signed up. Never again. I'll take my chances with the clowns at Telstra rather than this mob again.

  • JesMullins Jessicah Mullins (@JesMullins) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    A week later and still no resolution. Just infuriating comments from people on the Optus messaging service who have clearly not read the case notes. @Optus you need to fix this…

  • sweetgilly Gillian Smith (@sweetgilly) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @Optus Not sure if I’ll get a resolution from @Optus I sent a dm

  • Fabulous_Red Leon Ha (@Fabulous_Red) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    I do hope that @Optus will match 1:1 the amount of data #Optus customers have donated generously this #Christmas to help drive positive changes in our community. LH

  • stillupsocut Andy Marsh (@stillupsocut) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @Optus I had two wireless broadband plans and as soon as I terminate one my speeds slow to under 1mb/s. Been two weeks with no solution from your tech support.

  • AmandaWorldwide Amanda Valentina💋 (@AmandaWorldwide) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    Nothing like spending your spare time in an @Optus store because the customer service call centre are so inefficient & haven’t cancelled two numbers, one dating back to October 2017, despite being asked to on more than 2 occasions. $120 p/m charges need to be reimbursed, too.

  • _manin_black_ Gay Rainbow Anarchist 🔻🌈 🅰️ (@_manin_black_) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @joshgnosis They haven't told me ****. I'm an ex-Virgin customer & current Optus customer & I haven't received any email or text from Optus. Have I avoided having my data revealed or has Optus ****** up on this as well?

  • sweetgilly Gillian Smith (@sweetgilly) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    Well @Optus no service after act storms last night…what are you doing about it?!

  • LizDolphinfluff Liz Darvill (@LizDolphinfluff) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @djp1974 I feel you - being similarly blighted on the Optus network

Optus Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Ali_Hijazi The Saints🐉 (@Ali_Hijazi) reported

    @optus failed its customers. To put it another way, the API did not require anyone to login in order to access its functionality. Optusdata wrote in a message: "No authenticate needed. That is bad access control. All open to internet for any one to use."

  • EaseMehUpPlz Andy Harrington 🇦🇺 🇹🇹 (@EaseMehUpPlz) reported

    @drvyom Left Optus years ago due to their dodgy mobile data accounting and an issue on their website that caused me to sign up to a contract that I didn’t need or want. It was my fault ofc 🙄

  • evilfunkydude michael vincent (@evilfunkydude) reported

    @SBSNews And forget trying to get a coherent response from Optus about it,all you get is the same crap they say on the news

  • OisEucalypt OIS (@OisEucalypt) reported

    New drivers license number got. Well, a paper one until the new card. Surprised at how easy Service SA made it, really jumping on Optus' stuff up. **** Optus.

  • KhunDel 🕯Del 🌈🚴🏼‍♀️🏊‍♀️🤿🥝 (@KhunDel) reported

    @theprojecttv @Jeremy_Kirk Hey @optus pay the damn "price" and get our data back. 😡🤬

  • EllaGawchan Ella Gawchan (@EllaGawchan) reported

    I was with Optus years ago... Do they hold on to customer data or delete it? #TheProjectTV

  • ValuedAdviser Susan Bryant (@ValuedAdviser) reported

    @Optus @IsaacsonMarie How much damage can be done do you think in that I’ll defined time period referred to as “Soon” ?

  • AustraliaKatie AustraliaKatie (@AustraliaKatie) reported

    Dear @Optus you have no idea how upset people are as to this grotesque data breach. WTF. What an utter mess. I am utterly exposed and so pissed off.

  • joshdivision josh (@joshdivision) reported

    @lukesesh2 @italodiscopolo @SEIFFERTOVAL Optus basically left a crane unlocked with the keys in running in the middle of a school for kids with behavioural issues

  • abc730 abc730 (@abc730) reported

    "Optus need to communicate clearly to their customers about exactly what information's been taken from specific individuals, and then needs to assist and support customers to manage the impacts of what is an unprecedented theft." – @ClareONeilMP #abc730
