Optus Issues Reports Near Brisbane, State of Queensland

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

  • cat_spalding Cat Spalding (@cat_spalding) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus have the worst onboarding customer experience. Email says order on way, online system says still processing. Online rep tells me order is being delivered... today, while I'm at work & can't sign for it. Rep blamed @startrack for mistake when clearly a system issue.

  • GuinnessGirl13 Helena 📺⚽🌻🎶🇮🇪☘ (@GuinnessGirl13) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus I have to say your customer experience is non existent by phone. It is pretty much impossible to speak to human being or find a number to get through to. I call sales to try and got left on hold for 10 mins. I hung up #NotHappyJan

  • MCooperAus Michael Cooper (@MCooperAus) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @NBN_Australia leasing @Telstra copper with @Optus as a retailer is a perfect example of how three providers is not better than one. A lot of 👉👈 finger pointing as to who has the issue all the while the customer (me) with awful internet....#sortitout

  • Better4Brisbane @Better4Brisbane (@Better4Brisbane) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus Thanks but your service has been awful. What you could do is not sell people in West End/Toowong postcodes your data products when you KNOW your infrastructure in the area is at capacity with speeds below 2MBps. I got speeds 10x faster in Bali. @Optus @telstra

  • CrayonANZ Dave Holmes 🇦🇺🇬🇧 (@CrayonANZ) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @zyzzyvamedia @Optus Been with @Internode on NBN for two years, never down, always fast. I guess it is some ISP and some location.

  • sonyantony Sony Antony (@sonyantony) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus Seems like its somewhat okay now . Home internet was too slow .thanks for the reply . Appreciate your effort.

  • mycrouch Jason Crouch (@mycrouch) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus No it’s not. I’m demonstrating the difference between your previous cable service and nbn FttN

  • neilmaddo10 Neil Maddison (@neilmaddo10) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus @Optus service is going down... must be a World Cup soon.

  • sonyantony Sony Antony (@sonyantony) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Optus Internet ,you’re are the terrible home internet service provider i have ever used . Can’t even reach your customer service. @Optus

  • gb7004 greg bradley (@gb7004) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Congratulations @Optus you have the WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE and as for your ‘Help Desk’ they to would win awards for incompetence.

  • paypontAU Paypont (@paypontAU) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @wardenofmyheart @Optus There’s no explanation as what caused the issue, what percentage of customers are still affected. Optus are not sharing the full story on this.

  • Dnball62 David (@Dnball62) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @David_TaskerIR @Optus Why does it take a posting on Twitter to get them moving. People are fed up with poor performance from these large telco companies!

  • paypontAU Paypont (@paypontAU) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus Left an SMS with your call centre agent 8 hours ago. Still waiting, service is not active.

  • paypontAU Paypont (@paypontAU) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus Our mobile broadband service is still down. More than 24 hours now.... says connected to Optus 4G but cannot browse any websites - local or overseas. Have power recycled - no improvements. Rang your call centre - on hold for 80 mins before giving up.

  • lachgriffiths Lachie (@lachgriffiths) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Telstra It may be officially time to jump boat to OPTUS, not ideal situation but after the last 3 months of my Internet randomly going down for days at time with no explanation the frustration is a 10/10.

  • dansheps_ MurfasaurusRex (@dansheps_) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus This is still a major issue... dont you run isolation tests before doing major upgrades.. im hoping this cost your millions in lost revenue if not billions.

  • pmgee76 Peter Gee (@pmgee76) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    The worse customer service around. @Optus

  • AlexJSmithy Alex Smith (@AlexJSmithy) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Ok so @Optus kills off @virginmobile and make all customers switch to #Optus. The process has been a total stuffup. Hours spent on chat and then they cancel #Virgin service before Optus works. Oh and then it takes yet another chat. Makes @Telstra look amazing #pissedoff

  • JanelsaOuma Janelsa Ouma (@JanelsaOuma) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Cannot wait to cancel my @Optus wifi contract. For real hotspotting my phone because the wifi cannot handle two laptops using it at the same time. Bye👋

  • raymanoz Raymond Barlow (@raymanoz) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @alan_in_oz @SelW08 @Optus What BS! Pretty sure they will refund you for the days of no-service.

  • BlackGhost41 David C (@BlackGhost41) reported

    Hey OPTUS, My NBN line was cut 2 weeks ago, a technician from OPTUS came, checked our house, and put a call into NBN, still waiting for the line to be fixed, no landline, NOT happy #Optus, even phone calls to the service center says the matter is resolved. I am moving.

  • itschrisnotmark Itschrisnotmark (@itschrisnotmark) reported

    The Singtel share price is down around 2.2% since the Optus hack, do you think it will go down further? #OptusHack #Trending

  • Zuyao2 Zuyao (@Zuyao2) reported

    @mattDCLXVI @Optus bad news...

  • intrepid144 KerrieC (@intrepid144) reported

    @DeniseBeale Unhappy too, actually that's something of an understatement. I'm a current customer. Generic email about what of my data has been breached. Impossible to engage with Optus customer (non-existent) service. #optusfail #OptusHack Not happy Jan!

  • drew_keychange Drew 💉🍷💉🥃💉 🏍💉🎸🪄🏏 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@drew_keychange) reported

    @Optus 4G in Coffs Hinterland has been rapidly grinding to a halt. We are 15+kms from tower but with external antenna we were getting 30+mbps. Now less than 10 mbps & often down to just kbps ( dial up). Their complaint system isn't working... I wonder why

  • Mythoug05655057 Mythoughts (@Mythoug05655057) reported

    @Calista_Bruschi @hughriminton My daughter hasn't been with Optus for 2 yrs but still got an email about her security details compromised!It's a nightmare! New Medicare card ordered New drivers licence no requested Bank A/C, Optus passwords changed (Never used passports to open Optus a/c) Did I miss anything?

  • Tama4103 Georgie Sewer Rat (@Tama4103) reported

    @ChrisHeHim1 Is Optus responsible? Yes! Is Optus being fined?? Unsure. Should Optus FIX their MESS? Yep…cough up #OptusDataBreach ….protect your customers and reputation. Cover the cost of new ID for those affected

  • mushlight Shok (@mushlight) reported

    I was an Optus customer for 20 years, left 4 years ago then all my Android contacts vanished on Tuesday. #QandA

  • TimMelbourne2 TimMelbourne (@TimMelbourne2) reported

    @hughriminton Optus wouldn't know how many of us were affected. They wont help anyone, it's an Optus circus. Let alone Vic Roads trying to get your license replaced.

  • w3b3d1g1 w3b3d1g1 (@w3b3d1g1) reported

    @rpotter_9 @Kieran_Gilbert You nerds need to start with a philosophy. That philosophy centres around the customer the trust in your trustworthiness. Optus has no right to hold any personal data ever again even if that means the end. The 'system' did not fail, the people did. Open banking? Blockchain.
