Optus Issues Reports Near Brisbane, State of Queensland

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    @InsidersABC Including me who was last an Optus customer in2005

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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 🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • lesstenny Politic@l Spinner. (@lesstenny) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Great.. I'm blaming you @Optus our credit card has been compromised three times with dodgy transactions.. My wife now has to get a new card.. Again I say **** you optus, we are so pissed off

  • 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?

  • Adam_Meyer1 Adam Meyer (@Adam_Meyer1) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Optus Hi there. Still doesn't work correctly

  • 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.

  • PagewoodCoach Rubens Camejo (@PagewoodCoach) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Anyone else having issues with Optus' BS new HUB setup?

  • 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

  • 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

    @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.

  • ldexk27 Anthony Stewart (@ldexk27) reported

    @Optus @good360au Been in a live chat session with Optus for almost 4 hours, now on 5th agent and all over a billing issue. Can’t wait to post the transcript on reddit. Truely shameful; have 4 accounts and will close all of them.

  • PearlCristina Pearl (@PearlCristina) reported

    @optus **** u for disconnecting my internet before my exam tomorrow

  • mattymattymot Matty M (@mattymattymot) reported

    @RalphyHeraldSun Having to play Stephenson certainly shows our lack of depth currently…never thought I’d say that after he blitzed the eagles for 38 at Optus less than 12 months ago.

  • rakwonyo vi✘ie 🧚🏻‍♀️ 23 (@rakwonyo) reported

    @spnpZeus @Iuvhynjn @minignf who ******** is optus

  • Vass2016 Vass (@Vass2016) reported

    @Optus I have lodged a complaint by email/phone and courier Pidgeon and I am assured someone will get back to me in 3 or 4 days...then waste another 3 days for an idiot technician to come out....etc etc.

  • JillSheahan Jill Sheahan (@JillSheahan) reported

    @Optus How can I get in contact about an overcharge on my billing? I can’t access the live chat via the app. Your call team have promised to call me back numerous times yet haven’t. You guys are the worst customer service in Australia.

  • sbooth29 Sharna Nicole 🙈🙉🙊 (@sbooth29) reported

    After what happened on chat last night @Optus i did not hestiate on unsubscribing from @OptusSport Unprofessional and rude customer service is not warranted and not okay.

  • Hedge_Hopkins Hedge Hopkins (@Hedge_Hopkins) reported

    @SteveOscarbravo id nto watch on general principle. just like ill never choose optus. vote with your remote folks

  • BassVlogs BS. (@BassVlogs) reported

    @JR_24X @OptusSport It’s ******, and Optus customers get a discount of $6.99 as opposed to us receiving it for free for being Optus customers Their marketing team are spinning this as if its a win for the customer 🖕
