Optus Issues Reports Near Brisbane, State of Queensland

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

  • Scribe31oz Linda Thackeray (@Scribe31oz) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus I'm ready to go elsewhere. I am 5 days with barely any phone service because you people decide to do upgrades in the middle of a pandemic where people are advised to stay home.

  • todd42246896 Todd Hacking (@todd42246896) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Hey @Optus - I’m so annoyed. The service I’ve received is beyond appalling. I have a personal account and recently changed the business account to you but I’m told your crm system can’t differentiate or create two distinct entities - causing confusion and mix ups. It’s 2021!

  • LimeEyed LimeEyed (@LimeEyed) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus stop trying to bill me for a service i cancelled

  • PagewoodCoach Rubens Camejo (@PagewoodCoach) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @MelbInvest @nyunggai @HelloMakkaPakka Yes & no. If you work for Optus but doing the praises of Telstra you're going to get sacked. In effect Kitching was sacked To fix it? Requires a referendum. Factions are funded by outside interests unions businesses, individuals with an agenda etc. That's hard to remove NEXT

  • RuaBrithem Rua Uilliam (💉💉💉 Pagan Prole Sewer Rat) (@RuaBrithem) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    The plumber ****** the NBN cable and I am now without wifi and phone. Plumber notntaming responsibility because it wasn’t “regulation”. Waiting to hear back from Optus to see when NBN can come out to fix it.

  • Scribe31oz Linda Thackeray (@Scribe31oz) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus Quade, My number is 0413910086. 109 Mcloughlin Road morayfield O7/04/1969 They are doing upgrades but my reception is so bad I can only call out if I leave the house.

  • lissyvz67 Lissy (@lissyvz67) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Is it an #optus tactic to make getting something fixed so difficult that customers just give up? I've had no nbn since 16th February and no one at #optus seems to care or want to help her the nbn working again. My son works from home. This is just not acceptable.

  • AjaanMark Dr Mark 🎄 🏴 🇵🇸 อาจารย์มาก (@AjaanMark) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Dollaryd00s I have an Optus 4G dongle as well as my phone and both seem slow since Wednesday.

  • aimani Arash (@aimani) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus we haven’t had mobile reception at our house in The Gap 4061 all day. Why the outage and when will it get rectified???

  • LesStonehouse Politic@l Spinner (@LesStonehouse) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    My poor almost 90 year old mother in law has just lost hundreds with a scam on her landline.. She spent almost an hour thinking it was Optus gave them all the details they needed ..nightmare for my wife on the phone to the bank for hours trying to fix everything up.. **** 🤔

  • jjee88888 Jeremy Jee (@jjee88888) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @GladysB Optus garbage service is a backwards step for Australia

  • LesStonehouse Politic@l Spinner (@LesStonehouse) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus My wife should contact you tonight she's working.. **** she was a mess never I want to see her like this again

  • CommonGroundAu CommonGround (@CommonGroundAu) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @ParamountPlusAU @lfc2379 Umm. Problem. Apple TV's don't have a web browser, how can I watch this game on my apple TV. Also, your excuse for lack of apple TV support is unfounded when I watch many other live sporting matches with other apps on Apple TV. 10play and Optus sports have no issues.

  • AjaanMark Dr Mark 🎄 🏴 🇵🇸 อาจารย์มาก (@AjaanMark) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Is it just me or is Optus WiFi really slow this week?

  • LesStonehouse Politic@l Spinner (@LesStonehouse) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Hi @Optus no internet since early this morning which means landline phone's not working.. we have a sick mother-in-law who needs to communicate with us.. could you please Mark this is urgent in the Mitchelton area cheers

  • LesStonehouse Politic@l Spinner (@LesStonehouse) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    My wife nearly had a major breakdown last night over her 89 year old mums @Optus phone not working properly for years now.., anyone else having major problems with Optus recently? they're forcing her to pay for another modem. it's been a complete nightmare lives on her own

  • wrycee Wryce (@wrycee) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @AlphaAntonAU @Optus @ChiefsESC I am just down the road

  • conal_tuohy CONAL (@conal_tuohy) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @LucasMapstone_ @Cas2o @maz_jovanovich Same happened to me just now in Brisbane. Optus network told my phone to jump forward but my girlfriend's identical phone, with identical settings, 3m away, stayed on Queensland time.

  • Guesty22 Matt Guest (@Guesty22) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus your 5G service is really terrible. It’s been awful for about 3/4 weeks but on and off awful for months. I really need to get rid of this and look at going on your other plans or elsewhere….

  • stevemedley Steve Medley (@stevemedley) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus no internet, called support, told ling wait use message system, talked to a bot, no reply still no internet! Useless!

Optus Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Phillbertus Phillip Watt (@Phillbertus) reported

    @Pits666 I’m on Optus. Probably why I couldn’t call people earlier. Thought it was a Telstra problem. I’ve been having problems sending and receiving texts to Telstra numbers

  • actuallyeeby Erica Briony (@actuallyeeby) reported

    Group of high level reliability engineers at telstra on a speakerphone call to optus tech support all trying to not giggle "look I wouldn't be calling you if it was my problem"

  • KassDavis Kass Davis (@KassDavis) reported

    Well that's suddenly inconvenient.. I usually have no one to call this early but because I can not call due to an outage, I feel the need to call everyone.... 🙄 @Optus

  • circleslifeAU Circles.Life Australia (@circleslifeAU) reported

    We’re aware of an issue impacting some customers' ability to make outgoing calls and are working with Optus to investigate and restore services as a priority. We apologise for this disruption to service, we know how important staying connected is.

  • pamelaruth27 Pamela Dempster (@pamelaruth27) reported

    @Optus - WTF? Such rubbish service

  • JSNoble James Noble (@JSNoble) reported

    @rollo75 That Optus one is petty because they managed to disconnect their customers across Australia (rather than one state), and because the outage of Tas (which I assume they’re referring to) was caused by two cable cuts… none of which were T’s fault.

  • Dj_Sull274 DANIƎL SULLIVAN (@Dj_Sull274) reported

    @dailytelegraph Seems to be a too regular problem with @Optus everywhere

  • LoveMeredyth Meredyth 💉💉💉😷🧙‍♀️🧘‍♀️🇺🇦 (@LoveMeredyth) reported

    I just heard Optus customers are being inconvenienced by a huge outage this morning. Has Gladdy started working there yet?

  • sweetaxident victoriacarter (@sweetaxident) reported

    @Optus is my son getting a credit because he can’t work without it. He can’t contact me and turned up to check on me because the phones are out. I use the mobile for emergencies and if I fall or need assistance. Will there be #compensation for this outage?

  • ikatzsolutions iKatz Solutions (@ikatzsolutions) reported

    Optus customers: an outage is currently experienced. Mainly mobile telephony is impacted but there were reports of NBN outages: so safe to assume Optus network will be unstable till resolved.
