Optus Issues Reports Near Brisbane, State of Queensland

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

  • Flansq Bonshaquita’lafondria (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @_marty_k I dumped Voda for poor 5G coverage and rollout. Optus is still much better in that regard.

  • girlondon Kathryn Geels (@girlondon) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @alsotheabyss @LaurenBeldi I felt the same about filling out those forms even before the Optus incident. It really wasn’t very clear how they used the information, how they stored it and where, who had access to it, and how long they keep it.

  • Flansq Bonshaquita’lafondria (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Does anyone else find Optus 5G regularly shows as connected with full service, but no data will transfer? Websites won’t open, apps won’t connect etc?

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

    Anyone else having issues with Optus' BS new HUB setup?

  • twasink Robert Watkins (@twasink) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @haruki_zaemon @Optus I’ll try again when I upgrade my phone (which arrives in a couple of weeks). That will include shifting to a new 5G plan, which will hopefully fix the weirdness.

  • fanaticeel ScubaSteve (@fanaticeel) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @peter__kay I think many will abandon Optus. At least the state governments have agreed to allow people to change their licences however that doesn't help those who used their passports. I hope it doesn't happen but someone could lose a lot of money

  • Team_LiLy MissLiLy (@Team_LiLy) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    hey @newscomauHQ saw your article on @Optus about their incompetency and the hecking! They told me I wasn’t hacked and then a month later told me I was! Being trying to find a resolution and they are useless. Reach out if you want the story!

  • barryrutherford Barry Rutherford | Parkrun fan (@barryrutherford) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @ClareONeilMP I haven’t been an Optus customer since 2004 yet I received a letter from the CEO that my Data had been leaked. It’s left me worried.

  • Flansq Bonshaquita’lafondria (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @_marty_k Ugh. No thank you. I haven’t used a SimCard at all since I moved to Optus. When I ported from vids phone on the iPhone 12, I just activated via the app. Same deal with the 14PM. Just had to phone to get them to issue a new eSim to the app (transfer phone to phone didn’t work)

  • nickshewring nick shewring (@nickshewring) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @JarradLawrence Did the data breach effect only current customers or anyone that’s been a @Optus customer over the years?

  • barryrutherford Barry Rutherford | Parkrun fan (@barryrutherford) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @JanB_QLD @joshgnosis Moreover i have not been a customer for 15 years yet I received a letter from Optus saying it was likely my personal information had been stolen.

  • barryrutherford Barry Rutherford | Parkrun fan (@barryrutherford) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @InsidersABC Including me who was last an Optus customer in2005

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

    Great.. I'm blaming you @Optus our credit card has been compromised three times with dodgy transactions.. My wife now has to get a new card.. Again I say **** you optus, we are so pissed off

  • phocks Joshua Byrd (@phocks) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    tbh private health insurance shouldn't even exist (neither should private telecommunications - looking at you optus) and should be shut down immediately as they've proven they can't be trusted with our data, but that's another story /rant over

  • barryrutherford Barry Rutherford | Parkrun fan (@barryrutherford) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @AnitaHeiss @Optus I’ve had two emails confirming my data had been breached even though I haven’t been a customer since 2005

  • Matteris :Matt. (@Matteris) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @EVillainess @markrayfield2 @Jeremy_Kirk Better check the ACMA carrier legislation and then the audit requirements. 👍 Optus have failed to maintain customer privacy. Failed to secure the private data AND have failed to protect data IMO this was a deliberate act from cabal to force a cyber security event in the future.

  • mairzy3039 💧John Mair QGM (@mairzy3039) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    What the hell are Stefanovic and Canavan on Today talking about? They are saying Gladys is the person to fix Optus. FFS 🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • Adam_Meyer1 Adam Meyer (@Adam_Meyer1) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus Hi there. Still doesn't work correctly

  • fanaticeel ScubaSteve (@fanaticeel) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @peter__kay It's truly appalling. And due to present laws passed by the previous govt Optus won't be fined! However that doesn't help what happened. I haven't been with optus since 96.. hmm I should be ok

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

    @DezMaggs @Optus No contact from them to me either but thanks to @TrendMicro nearly 6,000 spam sms scams have been prevented... I struggle to even have service on certain days and times... it sucks.

    @cockroachemoji @Optus @GladysB help this poor gay boy

  • J1gsawp1ece ScottBee (@J1gsawp1ece) reported

    Why is the mobile service so terrible in the Bendigo CBD @Optus

  • mjf Matt (@mjf) reported

    @kristian_pisano @DeanRosario @DrGriffonage That was at Optus Stadium? There has been some issues there recently in the AFL. Players slipping over everywhere on the weekend. Quite unusual as that stadium has generally been judged as having good drainage

  • mpearce_perth Mark Pearce (@mpearce_perth) reported

    Heartwarming of @Optus to announce that, after 11 months of trying to fix an error their end, they’ve confirmed it’s been fixed. Oh, and my plan will go up an extra $16 a month. We have to jump through hoops. They just send an email. Very one-sided.

  • thesiswhisperer Prof Inger Mewburn (@thesiswhisperer) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    So, @Optus put up my phone bill because 'inflation', but has done nothing about my complaint about having no coverage many times over the past 4 months. I guess it's back to @Telstra for me, but I don't hold out much hope it will be better. Duopolies suck.

  • sweetaholic Sweetaholic Beauty (@sweetaholic) reported

    Love being with @Optus first it’s 3 days to get connected, then it’s a week, oh then it’s another week… any suggestions on other service providers that can connect me 😮‍💨

  • stenpc1 Sten (@stenpc1) reported

    Hey @Optus internet outages continue in Summer Hill (NSW). Twice in 2 days and your site is not forth coming with details. What’s the issue and what is the ETA for a resolution.,

  • timchuma Tim Chuma (@timchuma) reported

    @FilmMomatic @Optus Luckily I am in a newer area. You may need to get another emergency data connection and send them the bill

  • EdAndTheLX 🔥💧Eddie P. 💧🔥 (@EdAndTheLX) reported

    @SarkySage How fragile is this guy! Not fit for the positions he’s held or wanted. Just another thug who can’t thug his way out of the crap HE put himself in. Sooner he’s dealt with the better. Speaking of…anyone heard about what’s happening with Berejiklian? Do you know anything Optus?

  • TheRealWashedUN WashedUpNobody (@TheRealWashedUN) reported

    I want to take a second to formally say, **** You @Optus. If someone ends there phone contract, logically that means you end their data too. I'm not paying this bill as you dumb ***** should have automatically stopped the data when I ended my contract with you guys 4 years ago.
