Fair dinkum what a joke this mob are proving to be. First the big identity theft hacking scandal and now the whole fucking Optus NBN and mobile network is out not for 30 minutes, not for an hour but since 4am this morning. Not sure if that is 4am our time or AEST.

And this is the most recent response from the chief clown. "Optus chief executive officer Kelly Bayer Rosmarin told ABC Sydney shortly before 11am, they were still trying to figure out what had caused the issue". This clueless CEO doesn't want to admit it but I reckon they've been hacked again. Stand by for the ransom call from Valdimir's fulltime professional hackers Kelly.

Hospitals, train networks, banking, government services and hate to think how it is affecting retailers. The doomsdayers who keep spruiking cash will be beating their chests this morning saying I told you so. I can't login into MyGov because I can't receive an SMS code because I am with Amaysim which uses the farken Optus network and they don't give you an email alternative. They give you a MyGov Identity alternative which I already have but I can't work out how to use it to login into MyGov. 

Absolute clusterfuck heads need to roll at this telco, if you have Telstra shares you will probably see a big spike. Scares me to think I was thinking about switching from Telstra at home to Optus. Thank fark I didn't.

According to the news it's been caused by some type of upgrade issue. Not sure how an upgrade causes a whole blackout? I used to be with floptus 12 odd years ago and gave it away. And when they were hacked in 2022, received a letter saying my private details had been taken (along with many other peoples). Still have not heard a decent explanation as to why my details were still in their system when it shouldn't have been. This latest tale starting this morning does nothing to enhance the govt's and big business desire to push everyone onto the electronic payment system which is what the mobile networks are for.

Yep I have lost the lot at home.

They are saying not a Cyber attack - I have my doubts.

And the flow on effect is now apparently Telstra pre paid services are being impacted as Optus customers have been buying Telstra pre paid services.

My mobile service has been back on for a couple of hours or more. What a pain in the arse.

All the businesses that do not accept cash as payment - they must have closed down for the day?

To be known as Floptus from now on

The company have said the cause of the outage was due to a "technical issue". Apparently a senate enquiry will be held sometime in the not too distant future. Hopefully that will supply answers?

Cockuptus up to their old tricks again. 5G ain’t working, as soon as my phone switches to 4G it works. If you are having that problem go into settings, connections, mobile networks, network mode and choose 4G/3G instead. Where is the mole in charge, taking a mental health break on a cruise ship?

Go on Gerry keep backing Optus and sell your customers phones and iPad’s and tablets with Optus. 

Apparently floptus could be sold by the Singaporean parent company which is interested in off loading it. It's been said Brookfield are interested in purchasing. They seem to have a finger in everything.

The sale to brookfield has come to a halt apparently. Old floptus parent company is now not interested. The sale price of 16 million has been mentioned. Obviously someone thinks that price is too low and brookfield not prepared to pay more. Not sure if another buyer is in the mix or not? Hope something positive happens because old floptus is a bit of a mess.
