Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Brisbane and nearby locations:
-
Kathryn Geels (@girlondon) reported from Brisbane, 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.
-
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.
-
Timmy (@TimmyfromOz888) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@sandyhunter2 @Apple I would just say the Optus Sim hasn’t “engaged” yet ... I know sounds stupid but try the ol “turn off turn on” trick
-
Daniel (@Daniel__Nash) reported from Brisbane, 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.

Steve Medley (@stevemedley) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus, hey Floptus when are you finally going to finish work on the Cell Tower in Clontarf? At one stage it was supposed to be finished by mid Jan, but it is still dragging on! In the meantime I get 4th world service! Download speed 10.3, upload 1.16, and this is on 5G
-
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.
-
Joshua Byrd (@phocks) reported from Brisbane, Queenslandtbh 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
-
James Blackwell (@BlackwellJ_) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandMy 2nd days internet outage in a week with @Optus — and they can’t/won’t send a technician out until Tuesday...
-
Dr Mark 🎄 🏴 🇵🇸 อาจารย์มาก (@AjaanMark) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Dollaryd00s I have an Optus 4G dongle as well as my phone and both seem slow since Wednesday.
-
Steve Putt (@EthicalAdviser) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandHi @Optus just got this message about ‘not returning my fetch box’. I have told you repeatedly over the last 12 months that my house burnt down and there is no fetch box. I have begged to speak with a real person with no luck. I’ll need confirmation by the end of the
-
Matt Guest (@Guesty22) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandI really wish my @Optus 5G WiFi would not drop out every ten mins. Been nothing but trouble since we had it. Need to go back to NBN awful signal.
-
Twenny-Juanita. (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@ch1ch01 @Optus Yeah. I reported as well — and also raised it in live chat. Spoke with another person on Optus here and they also have the same issue (actually said it’s regular at this location)
-
D (@etredoo) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@optus HUGE MASSIVE THANK YOU for being the provider that got our NBN installed in less than 2 weeks. No text messages back and forth for 6 weeks just amazing service! @Telstra you need to take a leaf out of their book 6 weeks of bullshit vs 2 weeks and NBN installed #yesoptus
-
Mr. Mouse (@mr_mouse) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus is the a known issue with Fetch streaming? I’m on Optus NBN and have no issues with any other internet/streaming services. Streamed channels not reliable, on demand (e.g. BBC catch-up) not working at all. Done soft reset, still broken.
-
Imran Ali Rana (@emeerana) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandFix your **** @Telstra don't let your customers switch to Optus. ******* nightmare!
-
Timmy (@TimmyfromOz888) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@mspoppyvgk6 @Sairs_05 @Optus Mine actually been pretty since actually got the connection sorted and my actual data on phone is terrible at home lol
-
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.
-
andrew dutton (@duttonkona) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandBeen 2 days without NBN in Mansfield qld. Silence from @optus but they confirm there is an outage.
-
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
-
Lissy (@lissyvz67) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandIs it an #optus tactic to make getting something fixed so difficult that customers just give up? I've had no nbn since 16th February and no one at #optus seems to care or want to help her the nbn working again. My son works from home. This is just not acceptable.

-
𝕵.𝕭𝖆𝖐𝖊𝖗 (@PremiumPies) reportedHow bad is the turf at Optus Stadium? I've never seen so many players slipping over in a dry game.
-
Mack Urva (@MackUrva49408) reported@VoteLewko @Starlink It's about time for Optus and Telstra to go down the drain. Some of the worst and scammiest Australian companies. They charge you an arm and a leg for something that never works.
-
Ian Clarke (@ianclarkeAU) reported@BusyTonn Somewhat true. Telecom never had a FTTP plan, but CBDs did have Telstra fibre in the 1990s (after Optus started).
-
Andrew Donnellan (@ajdlinux) reported@roodave didn't Metro in Melbourne get hit by an Optus outage a couple of years back?
-
Imagine that (@ManaImagine) reported@MickamiousG @Starlink I got Optus net and have had no problems at all.
-
levi ed fletcher (@levied) reported@optus has the worst customer service. I have tried to cancel my internet 3 times now. Every time I get to my final sign off, the online person discontents, and you then have to go through the entire process again. I switch to @Starlink 2 months ago - very quick internet.
-
Toobs (@lockie_crash) reported@MickamiousG @Starlink When starlink finally get their mobile plans into Australia Telstra will be done within 2 years...one of Vodafone and Optus will survive as a budget telco, but people won't be paying Telstra prices for dogshit service

kayla fan of ³³ ⁹³ ( PFP HOW I FEEL OR A HEX 🤭 ) (@ActingLikeThtKk) reportedSomehow made it home in time after a 2.2k walk I don’t care anymore car is **** I don’t think max will score points today watching the start on mute i don’t want to listen to that engine phone is ****** as well and didn’t fully track my walk which is a good excuse to get a new phone before Zandvoort hopefully Optus is nice to me so I can get a phone with more then 128gb of storage 🙏🏼
-
United Peaceful Noncompliance ⛓️ (@NFPublication) reported@SSzczepkow87759 @OneNewsAu There will be four. The big three + Starlink. Starlink fills in the gaps is coverage with low orbit satellite connectivity the others don’t have. But I hope they ’ll have a plan that’s doesn’t include Optus. They already have a deal with Telstra who sellers Starlink cheaper and slower (bad for Starlink brand). Assuming the same hustle will occur with Optus. Competition is always good - but not when the competition works together..

Red Planet Vibe (@RedPlanetVibe) reported@13arm13arm @TeslaAUNZ We had connectivity. No issues. I think we have Optus LTE in both our Teslas.
