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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    hello @Optus i am network-less atm what happened

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?!

  • 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…

  • P_Glo Phoebe #Raiders4Life (@P_Glo) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @RedFiddler Yep pretty good deal. Don’t have too many problems with them. Partner is with Optus and does nothing but complain.

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • catherrrinex Cac (@catherrrinex) reported

    Optus Sport all I have to say is **** yourselves

  • agroasx AGRO ⚡️🔋 (@agroasx) reported

    @Optus your customer service is an absolute joke. I was told that my plan would be placed on hold only to be debited a monthly fee. I have raised a complaint about this as well!

  • AnitaHeiss Prof Anita Heiss AM (@AnitaHeiss) reported

    Slow clap for @Optus still sending out bills to customers but no other emails related to the data breach.

  • Hillyhobbit Hilly #MaintainTheRage #TripleVaccinated (@Hillyhobbit) reported

    Massive raspberry to @Optus for their awful protection of my data. Why did you need to keep it anyway? BUT massive bouquet to Services SA Modbury for updating my driver's licence in less than 30 minutes. Big thank you to @PMalinauskasMP for making this happen. #OptusHack

  • nimoraki95 Espresso95 (@nimoraki95) reported

    @Optus I have already checked it through your site and they have been assessing the device since early last week! Not sure why it takes so long to assess the device, not even fix it

  • AdelinaBasile Adelina Basile (@AdelinaBasile) reported

    So tired of paying monthly for crap internet. 5 years of useless Telstra NBN TTN which didn't work because copper wires degraded. Now, Optus wireless can't even stream IView. Scared to lock in to anything else, or too expensive

  • kevinklehr 𝕂𝕖𝕧𝕚𝕟 𝕂𝕝𝕖𝕙𝕣🕺 🏳️‍🌈 (@kevinklehr) reported

    @AnitaHeiss @Optus Yikes. A friend of mine had his identity stolen by people who applied for new credit cards. Fortunately he has a really bad credit rating so they didn't get far with their applications.

  • carolinerannard caroline (@carolinerannard) reported

    this optus thing has really screwed me at work (i am not an optus customer but i am its biggest victim)

  • troyhunt Troy Hunt (@troyhunt) reported

    @jroper My summation: 1) Significant portion of population included 2) Identity documents 3) Massive issues around data retention 4) Raises identity proof issues 5) Ransom and gradual leaking of data 6) Extraordinarily bad response by Optus

  • barryrutherford Barry Rutherford | Parkrun fan (@barryrutherford) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @AnitaHeiss @Optus I’ve had two emails confirming my data had been breached even though I haven’t been a customer since 2005
