Optus Issues Reports Near Brisbane, State of Queensland

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

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

    Optus mobile and nbn slow tonight

  • 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🤔

  • 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...

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

  • 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...

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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…

  • 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)_/¯

  • 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

  • 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

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • antrichardson_ Anthony Richardson (@antrichardson_) reported

    Anyone with @Optus in Melbourne experiencing really slow internet?

  • kurisubrooks Kurisu (@kurisubrooks) reported

    This place doesn’t have NBN, that should’ve been the #1 most important factor. I shouldn’t have moved here. I got Optus 5G home internet but canceled it after a month because it was down for 2 weeks and I couldn’t work or play games so I was upset. I should’ve stuck with it.

  • EICostheta Reg Boyle (@EICostheta) reported

    @BecWrong Here... It's taken years but this week and today, I have beaten Optus out of it's stagnant insistence that the email account abandoned years ago, was my account identification.This and more. All problems heaped on the user. Have you ever tried to online register at the San?

  • techmaster7032 Techmaster7032 (@techmaster7032) reported

    @Optus I’d say sorry for the late reply but... My parents HAVE contracted support countless times and have had no change to the service. Your service has never been worth the amount we’ve payed. And quite frankly, no offer of support will keep us on Optus. You’ve lost a customer.

  • nigel_poke nigel (@nigel_poke) reported

    @Optus I’ve tried resetting everything both modem and computer. No outages in the area. Your suggested help pages don’t include trouble shooting for the B818 wireless broadband.

  • Joshffs72 JoshO (@Joshffs72) reported

    @thosearemysocks Was thinking of a similar tweet today, coverage in Brisbane is really poor @Optus

  • walkthedogma Scott (@walkthedogma) reported

    @Optus hi, is there any reason your customer service is so poor lately? Hours spent on hold, hours before being messaged back on app. If this is the new normal, I'm going to have to go elsewhere

  • vacant3rdman Anthony Horton (@vacant3rdman) reported

    @moosemobileau Haven't been able to get any 4G data all day today in Sydney. Have had signal, & been able to make/receive calls, but no data. Is this an Optus problem, a you problem, or is it just me?

  • KyvanDyk73 Elli-E-Kat (@KyvanDyk73) reported

    @Tony_3163 @Optus How great is it... until you get past the first month feee and cooling off period. Then they shove you back to 4G, worse than when you left it, wondering if the Nokia #Optus5G light pointing to that magic tower will ever light up again. @Optus #fail

  • KyvanDyk73 Elli-E-Kat (@KyvanDyk73) reported

    @Optus Kristy if you’ve even tried to call Optus support you’d definitely not strongly recommend it. Maybe I’ll give that another go next time I’ve got a minimum of 5 hours to spare.
