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

  • 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

  • dorrian_peter peter dorrian (@dorrian_peter) reported from Central Coast, State of New South Wales

    Hey @Optus I moved house today and notwithstanding 3 weeks notice - guess what - no internet connection at my new house - and btw your “customer service” sucks - just time wasting useless conversations- how does a very long term loyal customer speak to someone who might fix this?

  • 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 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.

  • BelindaNoonan1 Belinda Noonan (@BelindaNoonan1) reported from Central Coast, State of New South Wales

    @Optus have “technical errors” if you are trying to get technical help with NBN. That’s what I was told when transferred to NBN tech help desk, after another ridiculous amount of phone time.

  • 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.

  • JoshO567 Josh Howe (@JoshO567) reported from Central Coast, State of New South Wales

    @simonhill1894 The A-League won't be the same without you. Football in general won't be the same without you. Thanks for your service. Hope to hear you somewhere down the road. Maybe some place called Optus

  • 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

  • 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 😡

  • MarkEquestrian Mark Tarrant (@MarkEquestrian) reported from Central Coast, State of New South Wales

    @Optus PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STOP with the hard sell sales pith to try to lock me into a contract every damn time i need to speak to one of you people. DISGRACEFUL

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • ResourcefulHDR Sally Purcell (@ResourcefulHDR) reported from Central Coast, State of New South Wales

    @albericie @Optus Good luck! Feel your pain. Left the big telcos a few years back. With a smaller isp now - much happier with the customer service

  • halans Jean-Jacques Halans (@halans) reported from Central Coast, State of New South Wales

    Optus having a problem with 4G data on iPhone 12.

  • 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.

  • 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?” 🤯

  • BZElkie Barbara Elkins (@BZElkie) reported from Central Coast, State of New South Wales

    @janine_hendry Cancel contracts with Optus? Urgent enough?

  • 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

  • fergmich Michelle Ferguson (@fergmich) reported from Central Coast, State of New South Wales

    @Optus was chatting to someone on app messaging service re Fetch TV. App has dropped out 'Technical problem'. Can someone please help me ASAP.

  • 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.

    i just realised i used my passport number to activate an optus sim a few years ago... ****!!!

  • Charles28518405 Coleen (@Charles28518405) reported

    The Optus hacker apparently wants payment in cryptocurrency, which is great because it means the cops can narrow it down to…

  • Dontkillpunk W⚓️ (@Dontkillpunk) reported

    So it turns out my personal info was leaked and I’m not even a Optus customer anymore wtf man #OptusHack

  • healthbudi Health Bud (@healthbudi) reported

    @RavenZech2 Received this too. Don’t know how many times I have filled out application asking for my drivers license number, but never the card number. In response to their ***-up Optus seems more interested in the cost of fixing the hack rather than looking after their customers wellbeing🙄

  • stephenottley Stephen Ottley (@stephenottley) reported

    @trevorlong @ServiceNSW What texts?! I'm an Optus customer and have had one email notification but that's it. Nothing since.

  • bla22781676 MB (@bla22781676) reported

    @danilic Optus customer?

  • handel37439460 handel (@handel37439460) reported

    @JFreddy44 @MadsMelbourne @Optus Legislation started under the Libs with bipartisan support. They all have their orders. Just looking for a way to slide it in with public support and now they have it

  • viniankao Vin_Kaos (@viniankao) reported

    @RuddTash @Optus It depends on your state requirements. For NSW, checks require both license number and card number to match. On Service NSW site, you can find a FAQ. You can't get a new license number normally unless there's proof of fraud.

  • RisingPheonix01 Dale Parsons (@RisingPheonix01) reported

    So I just found out that even if you are not a customer or have never been a customer of OPTUS and you have only submitted your info and not gone ahead with your application you can still get caught up in this data breach. I am told a company can keep your info.

  • VegJames James (@VegJames) reported

    @joshgnosis Least your headline wasn’t dog **** like channel 7s comparing it to optus
