Optus Issues Reports Near Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

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

  • voroguecp Jamien Rees (@voroguecp) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    You just have to love @Optus. 2nd time in a few months they have cancelled our work email. Whole account system is attached to it. No warning. Just cancelled. Thousands of dollars at a stake. Service response, ‘nothing we can do’.

  • 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

  • KBGoodness 🥃 KB 🥃🎮🍜 (@KBGoodness) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @Haydztweets @Jacko_GFreak @Telstra @Optus @iiNet Well no, some POIs have a higher capacity then others and it comes down to if they can actually support the speeds. If you're on a POI that is at almost capacity then the chances of getting higher speeds are limited, which is why people hit that 7pm slowdown.

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

    @Optus I cancelled my Optus adsl connection at the end of January after significant problems and more than a week without service & now I’ve had my previous direct debit used to take funds out on 17 February. There is no end to the terrible service by optus.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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…

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

    @yodaberg @Optus I’ve had alot of problems with them lately & the only thing that worked was going into a store. Chat is probably the next most helpful & you can get a transcript of what they’ve promised to action.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • e_andj Andj E (@e_andj) reported

    @Aussie_BB Most definitely still not fixed guys. Everything rebooted here. The ABB homepage and customer portal aren't even available. Connected on 4G backup (Optus) to post this.

  • benr1892 BetterOffRed (@benr1892) reported

    @theoutline_aus Although Optus coverage of the Premier League is pretty good. The thought of the A-Leagues and the Premier League on the same streaming service is 🤤

  • derridalicious naama (@derridalicious) reported

    @morgan_mysterio @kels_316 are you with aussie bb or another provider? i've been with tpg, optus, and aussie, and the latter has been honestly amazing with customer service and v minimal outages (compared to optus which, if you go off the earlwood fb page, has an outage every other day)

  • MoritzAllan Allan Moritz (@MoritzAllan) reported

    @Optus That didn't last long. Down again!!!

  • percivore cursey 🎃 @ comms open again ! (@percivore) reported

    Optus my power is still on I could have been streaming this whole time ********

  • meatchicknn michigan 🌱 (@meatchicknn) reported

    i've got 80gb of data to use in 30 days (damn optus) so i'm sitting on a park bench downloading genshin lol

  • jamesrokewarne James Rosewarne (@jamesrokewarne) reported

    @Dave_Matteo Literally did the same thing today. The guy at Optus said he’d never seen a case like mine. Bloody lint.

  • diegobarsi Diego Barsi (@diegobarsi) reported

    @Optus Thank you Kristy. I already worked out but the customer service was terrible.

  • NickPfitzner Nick Pfitzner (@NickPfitzner) reported

    So my ISP had some new phone plans which meant I moved from Optus to Telstra. Maybe it is just the placement of towers near my house, but this is the worst coverage I've had since a brief stint with Vodafone back in the early noughties.

  • Sutto2606 Craig C-137 (@Sutto2606) reported

    Glad I’m not a massive soccer fan. The breaking up of the rights here in Australia is confusing as **** and would be pretty expensive. Something like: EPL: Optus Sport UEFA: Stan FA Cup, A-League, A-League W, Socceroos & Matildas: Paramount Plus WTF????
