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

  • mediahunter Craig Wilson (@mediahunter) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @CouchNish I can't even watch it. Optus issues. 😡

  • michaelread1 Michael (@michaelread1) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @optus can’t call me and I can’t call them because I don’t have either a business or a personal line. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise. Do we have any options that don’t leak peoples private data to randoms in Australia? How absolutely incompetent and stupid.

  • michaelread1 Michael (@michaelread1) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    My name isn’t Andrew. But thanks to @optus I have access to his full name, home address, email address, passwords, contact number, credit card details and other random bits of information. My situation isn’t solved, and now if I was a bad guy, Andrew’s would have been ruined.

  • michaelread1 Michael (@michaelread1) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    Optus then decided after over 90 mins of explaining myself multiple times to different people on chat, I’d need to wait for a call. That call happened, it was from the wrong department. So they had to transfer me. After 2 hours I got some help. “So what can we do today?” 🤯

  • ozziewiltshire Oz. Pro Choice! (@ozziewiltshire) reported from Raymond Terrace, State of New South Wales

    @madameshawshank @PringPhillip Love is blind... and stupid evidently. Career straight down the **** chute, although I high paying gig at optus is 2nd best I suppose.

  • MansfieldOwen Owen Mansfield (@MansfieldOwen) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Worst service I’ve ever recommend. Have been trying to connect NBN. No one in your call centres seem to know what to do.

  • carolduncan Carol Duncan (@carolduncan) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @joshgnosis I’e tweeted Optus for help/advice, tried online chat twice … nothing.

  • siobhan_curran Siobhan Curran (@siobhan_curran) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    As an @optus customer I haven’t received any correspondence regarding the data breach and have no idea if my data has been compromised.

  • ShaneNatalie Shane N. Thompson (@ShaneNatalie) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @Optus hello, I received spam email this week claiming to be Optus & confirming that I had increased my laptop data usage with Optus. I never increased my data usage. Can you now confirm with me that my laptop/mobile plan hasn’t been changed? Thanks.

  • KitaandMat Mat and Kita Clarke (@KitaandMat) reported from Maitland, State of New South Wales

    @OeterB @Fozbyte That's what I did! I'm an optus customer so it's included in my plan.

  • carlagrossetti @carlagrossetti (@carlagrossetti) reported from Maitland, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Thanks Nard. What causes an outage that only affects webmail?

  • gjblue Greg Blue (@gjblue) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @Hillysfarms @Telstra I reckon telstra coverage in metro areas is third after optus and Vodafone, its terrible here in Newcastle

  • nickintheworld Nick Williams (@nickintheworld) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @a_choros **** Telstra, marry Vodafone, kill Optus... Truth be told I’d prefer to kill Telstra while screaming **** you and have an ongoing FWB with Vodafone and just leave Optus alone

  • ajhill_alan Alan Hill (@ajhill_alan) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @perthovalman @kevinperry @TheWorldGame @SBS @ALeague @premierleague @Craig_Foster @LucyZelic A cash-strapped FTA network does its best but has no hope of competing with Foxtel (itself scaling back football coverage in the face of its own financial woes) and Optus. I'd blame the government before pointing a finger at SBS.

  • SophiePearse Sophie Pearse (@SophiePearse) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    I’ve phoned @Optus customer service 3 days in a row and you’ve YET to rectify this issue, despite advising you have. This is incredibly poor form, deplorable in fact 😡

  • tmacca_1996 Thomas McKenna (@tmacca_1996) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @Optus @7mate take your ads off appearing as every second one! I will never use your service due to this. Biggest pet peeve, waste of money on your marketing side #idiots #advertising

  • ReetuMutti Reetu Mutti (@ReetuMutti) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    .@TPG_Telecom Trying to port my TPG no from TPG’s Optus to Vodaphone network. Spent countless hrs calling helpdesk every day, talked to supervisiors, waited days for engineers to investigate. Been waiting 20 DAYS, still not working. This is ridiculous. Fix this!!

Optus Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    Yes, in the US, T-Mobile is the primary carrier for Starlink direct-to-cell service (T-Satellite), but it's available to AT&T and Verizon customers for $10/month (free for some T-Mobile plans). Compatible phones include recent iPhones, Pixels, and Galaxys. Globally, carriers like Rogers (Canada) and Optus (Australia) offer it. If switching, consider AT&T/Verizon's AST SpaceMobile alternatives.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    As of July 2025, AST SpaceMobile has more definitive agreements with MNOs, boasting over 50 partnerships (including AT&T, Verizon, Vodafone, Rakuten, and Telefónica) serving 3B+ subscribers. Starlink has about 10 key D2C partners like T-Mobile, Optus, Rogers, and KDDI. AST's broader network edges it out in operator alliances.

  • BrowntownBrew Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported

    @AdamTho88718953 @Optus @NBN_Australia Here's hoping your area gets the free upgrade to fttp soon and finally gets off the terrible crap copper implemented by LNP all those years ago.

  • acsmith54 andrew (@acsmith54) reported

    @GeoffPAus @Optus I am no longer a customer but they still want MFA despite that using data they should no longer have, so I have reported them to the office of the information commissioner who has given them a show cause

  • sageultimate 'Sam' The Sage (@sageultimate) reported

    @Optus Big deal 🙄 I got that item free when buying a phone online direct from China. Optus is a failure. After 30 years mobile/cable/nbn I was treated v badly. Never again.

  • Covid_19_Hoax Covid Is Over! 🦘 🇦🇺 (@Covid_19_Hoax) reported

    I am in southern rural Victoria and I have good Optus 5G coverage here so everything goes through my mobile phone to my computers and TV and it is 250mbs inside the house and 300 to 400 mbs outside, if I ever move to an area where only NBN fixed wireless is available I wont be touching it as it is slow and costs a fortune, I'll be getting star link

  • maximationmax Maximation Max (@maximationmax) reported

    @rhysam @Telstra Change to Optus call centres are no better but the fibre NBN seems to work. Buy your own wifi router and plug it directly into the port on the fibre modem. Problem solved

  • KennyMcleod17 Kenny Mcleod (@KennyMcleod17) reported

    @MaasdorpJR @VinceRugari Foxtel had on demand back in 2016 along with the same picture quality Optus is finishing with today. You only had to pay for someone’s backyard iptv subscription service to see how truely average Optus sport was.

  • karmay0gi Vignesh (@karmay0gi) reported

    @LFC_Australia @justinpa1 I have two services running on Optus. I ported one number to TPG for a very good deal for 6 months and a discounted rate after that, since I have TPG NBN. I also got a very good deal for my other Optus service, which my wife uses.

  • michaelsfanboys Michael (@michaelsfanboys) reported

    @StanSportAU Bad move shouldn’t have stayed at Optus or go to foxtel **** paying extra just watch epl 😡
