Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Brisbane and nearby locations:
-
Steve Putt (@EthicalAdviser) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandHello again @Optus . I have been on the chat service 1 hr and 45 minutes and this is the most recent message ‘As per checked, there was a usage on it. May I know if this happened to one place? Or to other places?’ Do you deliberately make it difficult to solve problems?
-
Matt (@MattIsNE1) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@TGUZ72 @Optus That’s one thing about hiring people to provide front line support when they are not adequately equipped to work through issues. Sometimes that will result in someone letting out more information than they should.
-
Barry Rutherford | Parkrun fan (@barryrutherford) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@AnitaHeiss @Optus I’ve had two emails confirming my data had been breached even though I haven’t been a customer since 2005
-
Bonshaquita’lafondria (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, 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)
-
D (@etredoo) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@optus HUGE MASSIVE THANK YOU for being the provider that got our NBN installed in less than 2 weeks. No text messages back and forth for 6 weeks just amazing service! @Telstra you need to take a leaf out of their book 6 weeks of bullshit vs 2 weeks and NBN installed #yesoptus
-
Kathryn Geels (@girlondon) reported from Brisbane, 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.
-
Matt Guest (@Guesty22) reported from Brisbane, 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….
-
Brett Turville (@Tur71e) reported from Brisbane, 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.
-
Bryce Parker (@bryce_parker26) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@TheSportsFreak @OptusStadium That’s really poor still think all test should be played in school holidays I did agree with your point about the WACA the only tests that should be played at Optus are Ashes and India They probably should have given perth a South African tests given the expat population
-
Boris Osery (@BorisOsery) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@OptusNewsRoom I ordered a SIM card online on the 25/09/20. The Optus site says 3/5 business days delivery time. Optus can you tell me should your advertising be 30/50 business days delivery?? It’s the 12/10/20??? 🤬 WTF
-
Jo (@JoGierke) reported from Brisbane, 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
-
Stephen Viller (@viller) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus we've had no home broadband since this morning in Chapel Hill (Qld 4069), with the MyOptus check network status saying there is a problem and it is being investigated. Any news on the outcome of the investigation and when we will have our network and phone working again?
-
CommonGround (@CommonGroundAu) reported from Brisbane, 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.
-
:Matt. (@Matteris) reported from Brisbane, 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.
-
Michael McNally (@NTEUQldDivSec) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandAbsolute 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
-
Michelle Worthington (@michelle_author) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus DM sent. I’m not sure you can help. I was simply told I should have read my contract better.
-
Linda Thackeray (@Scribe31oz) reported from Brisbane, 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.
-
MissLiLy (@Team_LiLy) reported from Brisbane, Queenslandhey @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!
-
James Blackwell (@BlackwellJ_) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandMy 2nd days internet outage in a week with @Optus — and they can’t/won’t send a technician out until Tuesday...
-
Robbie Shenton (@TheOlderGamer52) reported from Brisbane, 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.

-
Rob (@hkrob) reported@eevblog @Optus customer support is absolutely awful. I've made a complaint and that went nowhere (predictably) Spent over an hour yesterday on a basic query via chat. Will be looking to switch when convenient
-
Mike (@stocksworldbull) reported@TeamYouTube I contacted Optus team. They said the issue is at YouTube end. YouTube support need to refresh the sync for me. Please help. I have been paying for my optus subhub services since October 2025 and haven't been able to use youtube premium because it shows inactive on YouTube app.
-
Dave XRP Lion (@davexrpliono2) reported💥BREAKING NEWS: Let's talk about Optus and the 'outage'!💥 There has been a lot of speculation and questioning over the suspicious Optus outage. This explosive video exposes what is really going on and shows with evidence its links to the corruption in the Australian Government
-
Dave Jones (@eevblog) reported@asphotos Science isn't going to help when the system is clogged because the NBN is down and many thousands of people are trying to find workarounds. Telstra in the park has collapsed, and Optus is struggling.
-
Lasindu Nambige (@LasinduLive) reportedSpaceX is now the most valuable telecom company on earth and it doesn't have a single retail customer yet. Telstra, Optus, Verizon — all about to find out what happens when one guy with rockets decides your industry is too slow, too expensive, and too protected by government.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@chatzi41 @iSpeedtestOS That's the iOS 26.5 update adding end-to-end encrypted RCS (beta) support on Apple's side. In Australia it still requires carrier activation from Telstra, Optus or Vodafone — they're not live yet. Rollout still looking like mid-to-late 2026. Toggle should appear in Messages once your carrier enables it.

evil gay spirit (@sebmygoat) reported@roomiwagon305 normally you guy a guy slow and a guy fast if not two guy going fast why do they have two guy going SLOW ?? they think they’re the perth scorchers are optus or something bruh THIS IS PAKISTAN
-
🦺 Benedict Harris (@benedict303) reported@Optus we were on the phone to OPTUS for THREE HOURS to some operator in India, we just wanted to move to a faster NBN plan, and they could not migrate our old account over. NIGHTMARE and Optus are outsourcing their support to useless people in India
-
☀️Arun💫 (@Home_ArunK) reported@TeamHinduUnited The BS that they spread that they converted to Christianity because of caste Optus just Bull-Crap! They converted to Christianity because they are greedy and have absolutely no principles or self-respect. This has always been the case.
-
Dave Jones (@eevblog) reportedNow tweeting from my lab machine again with very basic Optus 5G internet. Will have to upload video and stuff from home, but otherwise I'm kinda functional again. No idea when NBN/Telstra will restore the connection, it's been 3 days already so I assume it's very bad. Today is Sunday and tomorrow is another public holiday.
