Optus mobile services are down across the country, affecting millions of Australian customers and businesses.

The outage was first reported at around 4am AEDT, with Optus customers across the country taking to social media to find out what was happening.

Mobile phones are unable to make and receive calls and mobile internet services are also down.

What a disaster of a company, not sure why anyone would stay with Optus after the last year. I'm sure they will continue to advertise very heavily like they didn't after their security failure last time

Optus is pretty much the only mobile provider that's viable at my place. Telstra barely gets me one bar of coverage and mobile data speeds of less than 1Mbit/s. I don't trust Vodafone's coverage map as far as I can spit against the wind, but the one time I tried Vodafone out here it was useless.

So yeah, why would anyone stay with Optus? Show me a viable alternative and I'm gone.

Unfortunately I suspect Telstra is simply "there but for the geace of god go I".

I miss Telecom.
