Optus Issues Reports Near Brisbane, State of Queensland

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

  • mr_mouse Mr. Mouse (@mr_mouse) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus I’ve done all the checks. IView, etc. all work fine on the Fetch box. It’s the streaming channels that take ages to start and give streaming errors. Catch-up like BBC First are really bad and often fail to start a show, showing a streaming error. Looks like Fetch service prob.

  • Flansq Twenny-Juanita. (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @ch1ch01 @Optus The issue resolved itself once I left that immediate area but had to get a few towers away first.

  • Flansq Twenny-Juanita. (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus Hey there. My mobile service has died completely. Is there any known issues going on? Waiting 15mins for an agent on live chat suggests maybe there is but not sure.

  • NigelBell19 💧Nigel Bell (@NigelBell19) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Greybeard3 @JohnBirmingham @Optus I didn't go to TPG but I did leave Optus. I twice had to call to cancel, going through the whole process twice. But, for over a year now, Optus still sends me monthly invoices that (a) state that I have a 9 cent credit & (b) the 9 cents is zeroed off at the end of each invoice.

  • mr_mouse Mr. Mouse (@mr_mouse) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus is the a known issue with Fetch streaming? I’m on Optus NBN and have no issues with any other internet/streaming services. Streamed channels not reliable, on demand (e.g. BBC catch-up) not working at all. Done soft reset, still broken.

  • _rigormoris_ eggs fan page (@_rigormoris_) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @rab_s It’s so ******* annoying they ALWAYS get the first attempt wrong to a business and it only arrives successfully after optus email them letting them know the business name and floor. How ******** don’t they have a work around for this yet? it’s incredible

  • Flansq Twenny-Juanita. (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @ch1ch01 @Optus Yeah. I reported as well — and also raised it in live chat. Spoke with another person on Optus here and they also have the same issue (actually said it’s regular at this location)

  • BorisOsery Boris Osery (@BorisOsery) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus Your stupid sales assistant says she’ll give feedback, & no I’m not fkn patient cos I can’t make outgoing calls cos you fkn idiots don’t live up to your promises.....simple as that💪🏿

  • BorisOsery Boris Osery (@BorisOsery) reported from Brisbane, State of 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

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

    @sandyhunter2 @Apple I would just say the Optus Sim hasn’t “engaged” yet ... I know sounds stupid but try the ol “turn off turn on” trick

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

    After putting it off for months, walked into Optus and sorted the issues with my plan, got a better deal and a 12Pro. Procrastiwin?

  • ITrustLabor Dirk (@ITrustLabor) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus We seem to have an outage in the 4506 postcode.

  • etredoo D (@etredoo) reported from Brisbane, State of 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

  • duttonkona andrew dutton (@duttonkona) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Been 2 days without NBN in Mansfield qld. Silence from @optus but they confirm there is an outage.

  • 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.

  • itsOnlykhem ThatGirl (@itsOnlykhem) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Wth @Optus! What is up with the service today. It’s been lagging all day and it’s driving me insane. FIX IT!

  • 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

  • etredoo D (@etredoo) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @optus HUGE MASSIVE THANK YOU for being the provider that got our NBN installed in less than a week!! No text messages back and forth for 6 weeks just damn amazing service! @Telstra 6 weeks of bullshit text messages vs 1 week and NBN installed #yesoptus

  • damienpbuckley Damien Buckley (@damienpbuckley) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @simonswiss @Optus Switch to Telstra mate. I know everyone loves to hate them but you can’t beat their mobile network

  • MonBLeaves Monica Bradley (@MonBLeaves) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @ConniePaul2018 @EnolaGrae @CNN What about the families of 100,000 Covid deaths from #Optus incompetence. Grow up you elected a guy with the temperament of a 5 year old WTF

    @GQuattromani @2GB873 Do you think Optus resellers have an issue as well as there heaps of mobile resellers like Coles and Woolies on the Optus network.

  • clublennox Patrick (@clublennox) reported

    @Optus @DavidJay_AU Does that include customers who recently ported to a subsidiary that uses your network?

  • amagickeagle999 Radio Free Australia (@amagickeagle999) reported

    Gladys Berejiklian gets a gong at Optus and then there's a massive data breach.. Never let anyone from the LNP control anything.. Government, councils, business, body corporate, owners corporations, tuck shops.. Nothing.. Never let anyone from the LNP control anything... #auspol

  • alexislarochel7 alexis.larochelle (@alexislarochel7) reported

    @AndrewBGreene Transparency would demand Optus to give more details on how this could have happened. What about all those laws that the australian gvmt passed 2 - 3 years ago, trading privacy for security. Did they help in this case?

  • mitch_curtis179 Mitchell Curtis (@mitch_curtis179) reported

    @Optus I trust you'll be allowing me to cancel my contract without early termination fee if I'm one of the impacted individuals from this mess? I wouldn't trust you guys as far as I could throw you at this point.

  • MickyJ62581957 MickJ (@MickyJ62581957) reported

    @abcnews Optus customers and public will never know the real reason. The next media release by Optus will be cyber security word salad to cover up their vulnerability that was exploited.

  • itsrenatak Renata (@itsrenatak) reported

    Just heard on the news that Optus had a hack on the Australia network and customer’s personal information has been stolen and it frightening and scary.

  • bikeymikey70 Mike (@bikeymikey70) reported

    @Greybeard3 @ChrisHoodAU Glad I’m not an Optus customer 😳

  • Thermalzombie Damien (@Thermalzombie) reported

    @luciedigitalni @Optus Hi I heard of the hack/breach today do I have to be concerned about my credit card information stored in the pre-paid service when you recharge and it asks if you want to use your previous stored card information. Thanks.

  • RBJRON 💧Ron Jones❄ (@RBJRON) reported

    @Qldaah I can't ever see myself as a Optus customer now
