Optus Issues Reports Near Brisbane, Queensland
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Brisbane and nearby locations:
-
Mr. Mouse (@mr_mouse) reported from Brisbane, 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.
-
ScubaSteve (@fanaticeel) reported from Brisbane, 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

Bryce Parker (@bryce_parker26) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@TheSportsFreak @OptusStadium That’s really poor 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 as well

-
Robert Watkins (@twasink) reported from Brisbane, 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.
-
Twenny-Juanita. (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, 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.

Jase Smith (@JaseSmith78) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@GaryNunn1 Aldi mobile uses the Telstra network without the Telstra price... but not sure if it supports things like multi devices or Apple Watch - I put my husband on $35 Optus plan (plus $15 to link iPad and the watch was free for the first year) with 30gb
-
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
-

Dr Mark 🎄 🏴 🇵🇸 อาจารย์มาก (@AjaanMark) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandIs it just me or is Optus WiFi really slow this week?
-
James Webster (@jimmcslim) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandNothing like being stuck on the @TransLinkSEQ flying junction into Bowen Hills, where the @Optus coverage sucks…
-
Michael McNally (@NTEUQldDivSec) reported from Brisbane, 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.
-
Linda Thackeray (@Scribe31oz) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus I'm ready to go elsewhere. I am 5 days with barely any phone service because you people decide to do upgrades in the middle of a pandemic where people are advised to stay home.

💧Jenny White (@jennywhite38) reported@optus_help So much palaver to have to re-enter WiFi password etc Everything is set to WiFi but still no joy with connection for small or calls. Poor service considering optus is always doing upgrades/maintenance constantly. Get sick of no service
-
Phil (@unglobular) reported@PaulDonGipps The WAFL eagles just played this afternoon on a fairly open oval just down the road from Optus.
-
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.
-
DΛMΘ (@DAM01983) reported@Optus what's with your reception and your internet lately? Down to 4g and 2 bars on reception and my home internet keeps cutting out or not working Past a joke
-
💧Jenny White (@jennywhite38) reported@Optus Was wondering how long its going to be before I can make ph calls, receive texts and do internet banking with mobile, as postcode 3139 seems to have no service due to works?
-
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.
-
0xMetaLabs (@0xMetaLabs) reportedIn 2022, Optus (Australia's 2nd biggest telco) exposed 9.8 million customer records. Root cause: an old API endpoint from a legacy system, left unauthenticated, facing the public internet. No one knew it was still running.
-
JeffHead (@JeffHeadSC) reported@FPLBeggzySC @Scobey__ @j1trey Oh yeah for sure, I would never suggest a player could take Dale's roller-coaster spot from him. Just that Jordy can sometimes go missing after a quarter or two, but more often than not he delivers. Also goes bananas at Optus, and has 9 more games there this year.
-
A guy down under (@Fremean) reported@missrobinson I made Vodafone give me a new customer discount by asking them after 20 years why new customers get better treatment, do I need to switch to Optus for 6 months to come back as a new customer.
-
Jordan Wardle (@JordanWardle5) reported@theinfradev @ruicharadrius I'm not revising history. The plan was fttp everywhere, with Telstra and optus copper being bought out to move them to the NBN. The copper was never going to be used for the NBN. Look at the Telstra definitive agreements from 2011.
