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

  • 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

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

  • 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🤔

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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)_/¯

  • 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

  • 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...

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    Optus mobile and nbn slow tonight

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

    Now 3 days without service in Broome. Not happy @Optus

  • endeebee Nate Brierley (@endeebee) reported

    @Optus are there currently any NBN issues in Riverwood NSW? Been quite slow over the last 36 hours, and I've done all the usual troubleshooting but no luck...

  • Spedohero1 Spedohero (@Spedohero1) reported

    @Optus I am on Optus app help. The support staff said I have good 4g connection. How is it possible!

  • choice_simon Simon Choice (@choice_simon) reported

    @Optus optus, your cellular and 4G coverage in Highfields is utter garbage

  • MiaFerreira MiaFerreira (@MiaFerreira) reported

    @Optus Finally getting NBN - yay! BUT have been asked to pay a cancellation fee (we never asked to cancel - got told that we had to wait for NBN equipment to become available again) plus the installation, AND we can't keep the same home phone number either apparently!! 🤦

  • jackels1 Jacky Forrest (@jackels1) reported

    @Optus Postcode is 2759 and the lights go off when it drops out, we have reset the modem a few times, turning it off, using the pin to reset as well still plays up, there was an issue with the tower on Friday but that was apparently fixed but now either doesn't connect or stops loading

  • Fipty Johnny Rotten (@Fipty) reported

    Yay! @Optus Thanks for the garbage connection. No sport for me today! Utter crap. #Mackay #4740

  • steelermac6 Billy Mc (@steelermac6) reported

    @Optus Still same issues happening today...no internet connection!!!

  • FreoPope Freo ⚓ Pope (@FreoPope) reported

    @Dragonet_WA At least Freo should be a degree or 3 cooler than Optus, but still awful for all teams involved.

  • steelermac6 Billy Mc (@steelermac6) reported

    @Optus again issues with NBN internet not working!!!
