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

  • BlackwellJ_ James Blackwell (@BlackwellJ_) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    My 2nd days internet outage in a week with @Optus — and they can’t/won’t send a technician out until Tuesday...

  • Bf99Floyd Bev Floyd 🇦🇺 (@Bf99Floyd) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Everything in my world seems to be taking longer. My computer has slowed down. I no longer have email.(Optus has no online techicnical team). It took me an hour and a half to get through to Telstra. My washing machine is broken. My TV doesn't work. All I have is Twitter. TGFT.

  • CognitiveVerb 💧cognitive verb (@CognitiveVerb) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Dear @Optus I can’t do my job with slow internet

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

    @Optus I’m on phone support currently. The question is about remotely rebooting my modem when away, it drops connection 2xweekly

  • NTEUQldDivSec Michael McNally (@NTEUQldDivSec) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Absolute crap service from @Optus “more than an hour and so we won’t be dealing with your call today”. #optusfail Yasmin got through and they wouldn’t let her just report the fault even though she has an @Optus account at same address. Complete failure of their outsourcing model

  • DannMallet Dann Mallet (@DannMallet) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Optus mobile and nbn slow tonight

  • CognitiveVerb 💧cognitive verb (@CognitiveVerb) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @annkozma723 @OlivierElzingre @steven_kolber I suspect it was an internet service provider problem. @Flipgrid grid is pretty hungry and @Optus was not playing fair.

  • GlenNixon Glen Nixon (@GlenNixon) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    From the evidence I have to conclude that @Optus don’t have anyone working in a call centre. They just play music at you until you give up. #service

  • DezerdaAdvocate Dezer da Advocate (@DezerdaAdvocate) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus is advising up to 90 minute wait for customer call centre with no explanation🤔 #CustomerService #COVIDー19🤔

  • blake_andersson Gerimima StFrostfirst (@blake_andersson) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @lukeacl @halftimbered @tuppaware @BeauGiles @AppleMusic @Mardukian @twistieman FWIW I’m on Optus (don’t hate me) and I have zero issues like what’s been described ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • jimmcslim James Webster (@jimmcslim) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Nothing like being stuck on the @TransLinkSEQ flying junction into Bowen Hills, where the @Optus coverage sucks…

  • TimmyfromOz888 Timmy (@TimmyfromOz888) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @ktdenise My only true issue atm is struggling to screen mirror but mainly due to having an outdated TV and or not having an Apple Box.. mainly issue for my Optus Sports but that not a drama atm lol

  • TheOlderGamer52 Robbie Shenton (@TheOlderGamer52) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @VicBStard @NBN_Australia Makes sense. If @Optus had of kept the maintence of the cable up to standard before selling to the NBN then it wouldn't have been an issue.That being said I don't get why the NBN didn't just fix the issues.

  • DaveCox92490089 womble (@DaveCox92490089) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @sydney_ev @anirbanmahanti Optus is not much better shit all round.

  • BlackwellJ_ James Blackwell (@BlackwellJ_) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    My 2nd days-long internet outage in a week with @Optus — and they can’t/won’t send a technician out until Tuesday...

  • Tur71e Brett Turville (@Tur71e) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Braxeoswow @Optus I’d like to know the answer to that same question @Optus I call and then told the system to check is down. Pathetic service. This happens all the time in inner north Brisbane.

  • TimmyfromOz888 Timmy (@TimmyfromOz888) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @imogynmargaret @ktdenise @Optus I’m Optus no problems my end... odd

  • NTEUQldDivSec Michael McNally (@NTEUQldDivSec) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus Hi Aaron. I would love to use the app but your system now has the wrong date of birth for me after 20 years as a customer. And when I finally got through on Thursday and did my ID check - no problem. Something wrong with your app.

  • JoGierke Jo (@JoGierke) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus so we are now into week 3 of no service to my Apple Watch and no idea when this will be fixed even though I have had a tech unpair my watch many times, many attempts and trips to the store and 2 new sims... what’s the plan @Optus move back to @VodafoneAU

  • iamalexsi Alex SI 😷 (@iamalexsi) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    I just switched from @Optus to @TPG_Telecom 1 week ago. I ordered my NBN and the modem has arrived, but no one came to instal it after few days. The bloody customer service is terrible, worst than @Optus!! I had to be in chatRoom in line, ticket number 600 and after 9 hours...

  • LizQLD58 Liz (@LizQLD58) reported

    @Hugh_96 @Optus I got an email referring to me as a previous customer ......didn't know I had been one!!

  • paws101 💧 Paul 🇦🇺🦘For Ukraine 🇺🇦 (@paws101) reported

    @ClareONeilMP Also love to know how far this data goes back! I have not been an Optus customer for ~15 years and the contact info they may have might be out of date, but other info might not be.

  • jodadi_o Jodie Humphries (@jodadi_o) reported

    @peteevansnot Damn I knew I shouldn't have put my lava lamp near my Optus router

  • vortexau vortex (@vortexau) reported

    Alternate headline: "External information security enthusiast remotely backs up 10M Optus customer records"

  • Leary551 Leary@55 (@Leary551) reported

    Is it just my cynical nature or is this Optus ‘hack’ a steaming pile of BS? Never heard of a hacker apologising & not wanting its ransom paid.🤔

  • AEBayley AEB Voting Yes (@AEBayley) reported

    @RonniSalt @Judith54Nunn @Optus D grade stuff will earn them a bigger class action as they continue to prove lack of customer care. Pretty shocked CEO so amateur. And guided by team who is lame n same

  • stephengentle Stephen Gentle (@stephengentle) reported

    @ClareONeilMP Obviously Optus shares blame for terrible security, but we have to expect that breeches will continue to happen. It’s only when we massively limit what data companies are allowed to keep that we have any kind of safety. I like the saying “Data is the new asbestos”

  • sreid744 Simon Reid (@sreid744) reported

    @AlanKohler Optus needs to pay everyone for the replacement of everything to every customer and the government agencies need to send new documents to every optus customer...it can't be upto individual customers to sort out this mess surely

  • curiouslyem Emily Claire (@curiouslyem) reported

    @Optus After waiting on hold for 45 minutes I was put on hold again so the person could check how badly I was breached. They hung up on me. They called back ONE ring, then hung up. This ‘service’ is causing more people to register for the class action. Appalling.

  • talkingcross Salt and Light (@talkingcross) reported

    After all this anxiety about the OPTUS data breach it turns out that I don’t even have an account. No login, no password. I tried to set one up with OPTUS last week but my pin codes kept expiring while I was recovering my energy in bed.
