lesposen (@lesposen) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus I’m on phone support currently. The question is about remotely rebooting my modem when away, it drops connection 2xweekly
-
James Cridland (@JamesCridland) reported from Brisbane, 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.
-
Dezer da Advocate (@DezerdaAdvocate) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus is advising up to 90 minute wait for customer call centre with no explanation🤔 #CustomerService #COVIDー19🤔
-
Joel (@JoelTHFC) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Daniel__Nash Haha Optus rotate presenters every four hours, sometimes 2. Hang in there bud!
-
Twenny-Juanita. (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@ch1ch01 @Optus The issue resolved itself once I left that immediate area but had to get a few towers away first.
-
ThatGirl (@itsOnlykhem) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandWth @Optus! What is up with the service today. It’s been lagging all day and it’s driving me insane. FIX IT!
-
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.
-
Dirk (@ITrustLabor) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus We seem to have an outage in the 4506 postcode.
-
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.
-
Glen Nixon (@GlenNixon) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandFrom 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
-
Politic@l Spinner (@LesStonehouse) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandHi @Optus no internet since early this morning which means landline phone's not working.. we have a sick mother-in-law who needs to communicate with us.. could you please Mark this is urgent in the Mitchelton area cheers
-
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
-
greg bradley (@gb7004) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandDear @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.
-
Steve Putt (@EthicalAdviser) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandThe Optus fellow told me to DM me the problem and give him ‘as much info as possible’. Hoo boy, he’s asking for it.
-
Steve Putt (@EthicalAdviser) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandAfter telling the optus chat line that my house had burned down and that I had tried repeatedly to get the nbn cancelled (which I am still paying for), she asked me, and I kid you not, if I had tried turning it off and turning it back on again. I…I don’t know how to answer.
-
Bev Floyd 🇦🇺 (@Bf99Floyd) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandEverything 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.
-
Boris Osery (@BorisOsery) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus Your stupid sales assistant says she’ll give feedback, & no I’m not fkn patient cos I can’t make outgoing calls cos you fkn idiots don’t live up to your promises.....simple as that💪🏿
-
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
-
Matt (@MattIsNE1) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@TGUZ72 @Optus Well I have evidence as per screenshot and chat history that there is an issue which @Optus know about and they will compensate for number of days we are without service.
-
Politic@l Spinner (@LesStonehouse) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandMy wife nearly had a major breakdown last night over her 89 year old mums @Optus phone not working properly for years now.., anyone else having major problems with Optus recently? they're forcing her to pay for another modem. it's been a complete nightmare lives on her own
Optus Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
James Bernard 🇦🇺✝️☕🎸 (@jamesabernard) reportedTelstra network issues rumble on in qld. Messages delayed Calls dropped. How's Optus & Vodaphone doing?
-
Ted Lasso (@edwardnosh1) reported@Adrian_Arciuli @FIFAWorldCup AFL stadiums are not built to support football, I’d take Optus, Adelaide Oval and the MCG off the list! Probably one of the reasons we have never won a World Cup
-
Gooseman (@perthozguy77) reportedOptus Stadium has a drainage problem! ‘Players slipping over because of the pressure’ My ***! Can see the water splashing out beneath them. #AFLFreoSwans
-
Jason Anders (@Jet_Anders) reported@Optus @Optus @OptusNewsRoom when I try to dial out it tells me there is insufficient credit to make a call, when I text the balance check number it shows unlimited calls until the end of the day 31/07/2026 and the current time is midday AEST. Would this be a network issue?
-
cra0 (@cra0_net) reported@satoshigoy @Optus AusAlert isn’t delivered through @Optus. On LTE, the cell sends a Paging indication 'cmas-Indication-r9' then the warning itself is broadcast in SIB12. A working SIM or successful network registration is not required.
-
Satoshi Goy (@satoshigoy) reportedThe fact that the emergency AusAlert didn’t reach Optus customers who had no Optus coverage, despite Telstra towers being available, is absurd. An emergency warning system should use any available network to deliver life-saving alerts—not fail because your own carrier is down. In a disaster, network loyalty shouldn’t determine who gets warned. This needs to be fixed before the next emergency.
-
Ash 🇦🇺 (@TheInspectorAsh) reported@JacintaAllanMP We saw similar issues with Optus. There is supposed to be redundancy that allows emergency calls to be carried over any available mobile network. If our emergency communications and critical infrastructure are meant to be resilient, why do single network outages continue to have such widespread impacts? It’s time to review whether our redundancy is truly independent, or whether we’re relying on backup systems that share the same points of failure.
-
Richie_Night Owl (@richardmelb05) reportedOur @optus NBN internet/Phone service problem has been fixed. My mother can watch online movies and music videos on youtube. The internet is her only source of entertainment
-
HP🪆 (@heidiponting) reportedOptus stadium grass is horrible #afleagleslions
-
Eagles. Stats and random. (@EaglestatsNW) reported@bamberee 🤷 Not unexpected. Optus version worse. BUT the same as then, today. Lynch - no plan. Rebound - no defence. Outlet for hand pass - nil. Even with Marcus to buy half an hour. Selection/positions - bewildering. Reid DE&t/o really poor-noone with him? No coaching response to these
