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

  • 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…

  • michelle_author Michelle Worthington (@michelle_author) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus DM sent. I’m not sure you can help. I was simply told I should have read my contract better.

  • debmberger Deb Berger (@debmberger) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus Thank you. It’s a pity your chat help couldn’t check this. Or at least advise me to look at it. I was asked to reset my phone, remove my SIM card, change various settings. Each of these solutions were suggested multiple times despite advising none of them corrected the issue.

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • Daniel__Nash Daniel (@Daniel__Nash) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus hello, we got a new plan yesterday and the sim is not yet activated. Not in store, not later as told, not thanks to the online chat agent today, and I can't find the way to do it. Kinda need to be able to use the phone... please help.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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🤔

  • gb7004 greg bradley (@gb7004) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Dear @Optus you are a disgrace, cancel my ADSL as I am signed up to NBN well I would be but still waiting for a modem from you from 10th Oct, rang help desk and Annika CB690949 was going to ring me back in 10/15 minutes 40 minutes.

  • MKWAnthony V2★Anтнøny (@MKWAnthony) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Currently having a blackout and my 4G is garbage at best. Optus letting me down like most people in my life lol

  • JaseSmith78 Jase Smith (@JaseSmith78) reported from Brisbane, State of 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

  • 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)_/¯

  • JoelTHFC Joel (@JoelTHFC) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Daniel__Nash Haha Optus rotate presenters every four hours, sometimes 2. Hang in there bud!

  • davidjfindlay David Findlay (@davidjfindlay) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Good work @Optus I recommended you to my father, but after buying a SIM he’s spent hours failing to get it activated via your automated customer anti-service system which is apparently designed to thwart victims from getting to speak to a person. Never recommending you again.

  • DaveCox92490089 womble (@DaveCox92490089) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @sydney_ev @anirbanmahanti Optus is not much better shit all round.

  • 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

    @Optus Others are reporting problems, Rob. Perhaps the tech guys can get onto it. It is wretched.

  • Guesty22 Matt Guest (@Guesty22) reported

    @Optus Hi, are there any issues? Devices keep disconnecting, signal keeps dropping out. Really frustrating. How would I go about downgrading back to NBN wired connection?

  • harpyd04 Harpy (@harpyd04) reported

    @Optus Already have on twice on Tuesday. Have spoken to the help line twice and received txt messages saying you will update in 24 hours. I’m having to hotspot off my phone to do anything, which is now blowing that data out too, which I am sure Optus will happily charge me for!

  • essayyjay essayyjay (@essayyjay) reported

    @Optus I’ve just seen that this issue has been actioned. Please ignore my previous tweet.

  • cwgardiner Craig Gardiner (@cwgardiner) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Tried to get @telstra to upgrade my internet plan using the MyTelstraApp and Gold member support. Yep they are totally useless. Two reference numbers issued and still no change. Time to move to @optus I think

  • lichtman_ben B3NNY and the JITs (@lichtman_ben) reported

    @riskybusiness I got it too! reported it to scamwatch. SMS -> good optus login domain right?

    @Optus Hi Kyri, he doesn't have Twitter so he's trying to use the app to communicate with your support team.

  • ChrisMusty Chris Musty (@ChrisMusty) reported

    @Optus This is with the TIO and further legal action. You guys are useless for security. 5 times and everytime they say fraud team will contact you but they never do.
