    Heya @Optus are you getting calls about people sending email from Optusnet addresses to Hotmail, and they're not arriving? Not bouncing, not ending in the spam or other folder, just ... not arriving? I have two clients with this issue.

  • dinonetherton dean netherton (@dinonetherton) reported

    @Optus Thank you. But I have since raised it thru your website's chat system. Gave them a list of numbers. But since then I have got a few more calls now. Now using 07xxxx xxxx numbers... It never seems to stop....

  • bond_spread BondSpread (@bond_spread) reported

    @Optus The date and time given is right on when they have their exam. When there is an outage, it will disconnect the webcam and to the website they access the exam. This could happen in the middle of an exam.

  • dinonetherton dean netherton (@dinonetherton) reported

    @Scamwatch_gov I've been getting lots of calls from 08 numbers. One was to tell me my Telstra account was hacked. Others just hangup. It's always a different number so don't know how to block. @Optus as my carrier, can U do anything. Feel like this is an industry problems that's ignored

  • itsmythought0 JustThoughts🐉 (@itsmythought0) reported

    Is #optus network having issues or just me!!!! Hate this frequent internet connection issues🤬

  • BlairGabbe Blair Gabbe (@BlairGabbe) reported

    @VapiFM @Optus The last 8 days now just before midnight I start getting upto 50% packet loss which makes gaming online unplayable. It's fine beforehand and then seems fine again in the morning. YouTube works but is constantly loading then fine for a minute then loading. This is terrible Optus

  • Reynardo_red Reynardo the Fox (@Reynardo_red) reported

    @Optus Aha! I have discovered it's a common problem - I have an Outlook account and obviously an optusnet account, and mail from my Optusnet account does not get to my Outlook account. If you could check on your end, and I shall do so on mine.

  • Darren___Fox Darren Fox (@Darren___Fox) reported

    @Optus I ordered a 4G modem with express delivery which hasn’t been delivered. I’ve been passed around by multiple people but not helped. If I had known this at the start I would have spent my money elsewhere. Poor service Optus!!!

  • whisperfist C. Aleph (@whisperfist) reported

    Maybe it's an every-Wednesday issue. Again 'No Service' and nothing reported on Optus network status page. Yes, mobile has been off-on-ed.

  • bond_spread BondSpread (@bond_spread) reported

    So our Yr 12 kids will be doing their Trials online from home from this week. @Optus @NBN_Australia have planned NBN maintenance works during this time. It will cause outages and disruption to exams. Apparently nothing Optus can do. Great planning and support. @NSWEducation
