Optus Issues Reports Near Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • TimShawTweets Tim Shaw (@TimShawTweets) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @Optus get your f#cking sh#t together and fix digital access in #FranklinACT right now unless you want a whole world of media pain directed your way real soon. Namaste @TimShawTweets @2CC

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

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

    hello @Optus i am network-less atm what happened

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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?!

  • 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

Optus Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Mephiston Mephiston (@Mephiston) reported

    @redruby17 @itsmedeebs @kcarruthers Which is funny considering it was optus' fault that this happened in the first place. They left a test network publicly facing, which typically has less safeguards because they're filled with "dummy data" but they managed to get through to the actual live customer database

  • ipetev Pete Vee (@ipetev) reported

    @optus **** you so much for providing my personal information to hackers. Fire your CEO, CIO & the idiots in the IT team who allowed a test system to be connected to the internet I look forward to any class action brought against you. I'm a customer of 25+ years but I'm gone ASAP

  • Karlos3601 Karlos360 (@Karlos3601) reported

    @Optus @BeachGirlJan Customer for 13 years, multiple accounts. If i havent got an email yet and i have had my data stolen, you can bet your *** ill be taking legal action.

  • ipetev Pete Vee (@ipetev) reported

    @Bearman4991 @Optus Yes. I am too. Trouble is - Will any of the others be any better. Telstra overcharge - we all remember #Vodafail and all the little mobile providers resell one of them

  • whereRuBatman Robin (@whereRuBatman) reported

    @MadsMelbourne @Optus never give them real dob, because they do this, and more

  • wewatchu2 Dan On Stolen Land (@wewatchu2) reported

    Got my Optus letter today. I don't do direct debit. So why do I have to monitor my bank? Ìsnt it a bank/optus job to notice odd transactions.? 2. Why have they ķept my DL no. ? 3. Service query unrelated and unknown. Dodgy?

  • CheTak__ चेतक (@CheTak__) reported

    The worst thing about @Optus data leak is their response. Tears and trying to play victim does not help. Their customer support need to understand that it’s us the customers who are victim of Optus’s negligence.

  • VictorNarro ***** (@VictorNarro) reported

    Never ever think again that when you give away your personal data it is going to stay safe; once you put it in a form, it’s out there in the wild. #OptusClassAction #OptusHack #Optus

  • ipetev Pete Vee (@ipetev) reported

    @Optus @NetflixANZ @optussubhub If I link my Netflix service to anything Optus will you publish it to the internet like you did my personal information?

  • jodiehastweeted Jodie (@jodiehastweeted) reported

    For Optus customers impacted by the #databreach has anyone: 1. Cancelled their Optus account successfully over the phone? 2. Already had their personal information used? 3. Had confirmation from Optus of support in the way of identity theft monitoring?
