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

  • Flansq Bonshaquita’lafondria (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Does anyone else find Optus 5G regularly shows as connected with full service, but no data will transfer? Websites won’t open, apps won’t connect etc?

  • girlondon Kathryn Geels (@girlondon) reported from Brisbane, State of 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.

  • Flansq Bonshaquita’lafondria (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, State of 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)

  • mairzy3039 💧John Mair QGM (@mairzy3039) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    What the hell are Stefanovic and Canavan on Today talking about? They are saying Gladys is the person to fix Optus. FFS 🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • Team_LiLy MissLiLy (@Team_LiLy) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    hey @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!

  • fanaticeel ScubaSteve (@fanaticeel) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @peter__kay It's truly appalling. And due to present laws passed by the previous govt Optus won't be fined! However that doesn't help what happened. I haven't been with optus since 96.. hmm I should be ok

  • barryrutherford Barry Rutherford | Parkrun fan (@barryrutherford) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @AnitaHeiss @Optus I’ve had two emails confirming my data had been breached even though I haven’t been a customer since 2005

  • twasink Robert Watkins (@twasink) reported from Brisbane, State of 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.

  • Matteris :Matt. (@Matteris) reported from Brisbane, State of 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.

  • barryrutherford Barry Rutherford | Parkrun fan (@barryrutherford) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @ClareONeilMP I haven’t been an Optus customer since 2004 yet I received a letter from the CEO that my Data had been leaked. It’s left me worried.

  • barryrutherford Barry Rutherford | Parkrun fan (@barryrutherford) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @JanB_QLD @joshgnosis Moreover i have not been a customer for 15 years yet I received a letter from Optus saying it was likely my personal information had been stolen.

  • babybrit babybrit (@babybrit) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @DezMaggs @Optus No contact from them to me either but thanks to @TrendMicro nearly 6,000 spam sms scams have been prevented... I struggle to even have service on certain days and times... it sucks.

  • barryrutherford Barry Rutherford | Parkrun fan (@barryrutherford) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @InsidersABC Including me who was last an Optus customer in2005

  • Willow07935405 Willow (@Willow07935405) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Anthony_Klan They are id##ts I got a letter today but it was addressed to my house but with someone else’s name, I’ve lived at this address for 32 years and have been a optus customer since then 😳

  • phocks Joshua Byrd (@phocks) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    tbh private health insurance shouldn't even exist (neither should private telecommunications - looking at you optus) and should be shut down immediately as they've proven they can't be trusted with our data, but that's another story /rant over

  • nickshewring nick shewring (@nickshewring) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @JarradLawrence Did the data breach effect only current customers or anyone that’s been a @Optus customer over the years?

  • fanaticeel ScubaSteve (@fanaticeel) reported from Brisbane, State of 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

  • Flansq Bonshaquita’lafondria (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @_marty_k I dumped Voda for poor 5G coverage and rollout. Optus is still much better in that regard.

  • JamesCridland James Cridland (@JamesCridland) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Yeahbutnaahh @Optus Optus informed me last week that my Australian passport number has been compromised. Narrator: James didn't have an Australian passport when he was an Optus customer. He is confused.

  • bryce_parker26 Bryce Parker (@bryce_parker26) reported from Brisbane, State of 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

    .@Optus why do you keep adding your URL to my phone's bookmarks? You are just annoying a customer who will change back to @TelstraPurple

  • hugobrown Hugo (@hugobrown) reported

    @Optus Hi Team since changing plans last weekend (EOY Deal 500GB) I'm having problems specifically with sending MMS are there any outages affecting this service, I had look on website but doesn't seem to be any outages, I'm in 2223 (Mortdale). I can sms fine.

  • 77kazzg kazz (@77kazzg) reported

    @RealReliCzz @StanSportAU Great thank you $24pm hmmm not bad already have Foxtel, Optus and now possibly Stan. Its adding up....

  • AlisonWhitePhD Alison White (@AlisonWhitePhD) reported

    Working from home is not so easy when Optus can't even provide a reliable NBN service @Optus #getyouracttogether #WFH #lockdown

  • yeahthevic Victoria (@yeahthevic) reported

    Love working from home and having my internet drop out. Anyone else with Optus dealing with an outage?

  • matthew_malouf matthew malouf (@matthew_malouf) reported

    @Optus get your **** together , my 5G home drops out every 20 mins at the moment and has been a constant problem for a month.

  • TuanDN86 Tuan Nguyen (@TuanDN86) reported

    @Optus are guys having internet problems I being keep getting disconnected

  • grantjames_ Grant James (@grantjames_) reported

    Is @Optus phone network down? I'm in Sydney #optusdown

  • daowiies Albert (@daowiies) reported

    So many spoof callers recently. I would get a call saying I've called someone and they're returning a call, when I never called them in the first place. Most likely someone is making calls for nefarious purposes and using random numbers as cover. @Optus is this being looked into?

    Is the Optus network down?
