CYCLONE MARCIA - NETWORK UPDATE - 1.00 PM QUEENSLAND TIME

As of 1.00 pm (AEST) today, there has been localised impact to the Optus mobile network in some cyclone affected areas of Queensland.

Due to power failures there are disruptions to Optus mobile sites in South Brisbane, Sunshine South, Double Island Point, Rockhampton and Yeppoon.

Optus customers in affected areas may experience some disruptions to their voice and mobile internet services. Overlapping coverage from surrounding mobile sites should ensure service in the vast majority of areas.

Optus continues to monitor the situation closely and will deploy backup generators to affected areas as quickly as possible.
