Optus Issues Reports Near Holmesville, State of New South Wales

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

  • 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

  • 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

    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?” 🤯

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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!!

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 😡

  • 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.

  • 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

Optus Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • TlWilson17 Tl Wilson (@TlWilson17) reported

    @ScammerPayback - can you help with the Aussie Optus hack? Over 11 million appear affected and $1.5 million ransom demanded.

  • ergopropterdoc Kara Allen (@ergopropterdoc) reported

    @samr6003 @Optus Absolutely-I'm concerned about people with low digital literacy and less resource to access this help. Really disappointing from @Optus #OptusHack

  • MelanieKaraB Melanie Booker (@MelanieKaraB) reported

    @masericha @Optus When I messaged they wanted my details to confirm my account! I'm a previous customer and I got the email to say my info was taken - like I'll hand over any other info to them to confirm it. @Optus tell us what you're doing to fix your own mess.

  • ajruddy71 Anthony Ruddy (@ajruddy71) reported

    @DrKate_Miller @Optus I'm part of the team that, as a paying customer who is relying on a service to be safe and secure, has very real expectations that this company is capable & proactive in ensuring just that. Loyalty is not just a card customers get by spending lots...

  • AnnetteSandford Annette Fila (@AnnetteSandford) reported

    Well done @Optus , you’ve compromised your “valued” customers details, a security service included in our bill, and your compensation is “we’re really sorry”. How about you scrap out bills for the rest of the year? Honestly what are you going to do for your “Valued” customers???

  • SWF_946 SWF_946 (@SWF_946) reported

    Actions I've had to take due to @Optus illegally sharing my personal information with third parties: - Cancel bank card - Change linked accounts - Change emails - Change all passwords - Put bans on Credit files Still might not be enough. Response from #Optus send 1 crap email!

  • JamieS5555 Jamie S (@JamieS5555) reported

    @trevorlong I just received one too and not been an Optus customer for a long time. Is there a specific timeframe they are required to retain this information by law? Or are they just hoarding precious customers information?

  • SusanJa39395818 SusanJ (@SusanJa39395818) reported

    **Scam Alert** I have my mobile phone account with Optus and hav obviously been hacked. Got a string of text messages today apparently from my daughter, saying she had smashed her phone and please dcontact her on Whatsapp. Needed help paying an urgent invoice for $4000!

  • kitt__m Kitt 🐯 (@kitt__m) reported

    Got my email finally, found in spam folder like many others. This incident could not have been handled more poorly by Optus.

  • Jaihawkins Jai Hawkins (@Jaihawkins) reported

    @vonhelsnuff @ZiptieZoe @Jeremy_Kirk I don't think it'd be hard for the DPP to convince a magistrate and 12 jurors that the breach and subsequent transfer of information was unauthorised, in so far as Optus itself did not give authorisation to the individual/s that accessed their network
