AKH (@adriankhall) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaDear @Optus, the Internet service in the Magill (SA) area over the past 3 days has been averaging dial-up speed... Not impressed! 🤬🤬🤬
-
Nikki May 📚 (@NixLib) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaSwitched to @Optus 1 day a go and regretting it already. 1 phone call, 2 chats and now I have to go to a store because they sent me a dodgy sim. Surely as a new customer you would send them a new one rather than inconvenience them. RIP @virginmobileaus
-
Lisa L 🍋💛 (@LisaLemon09) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@actualeyez @Optus Yeah they are one of those doing this ‘subscription’ invoicing. They also don’t issue a bill for you to check before hand just an invoice after they have deducted the amount. What if they mess up & over charge & take your money if you do have it too? I bet not refunded quickly.

christopher maland (@ABlueSkyandaCoo) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Optus 3/1 Mills street South Brighton 5048 (do not wait for me to contact you) Check for external errors immediately. If not send someone over immediately to check the inside of the box & provide a more secure locking mechanism. If you cannot do this ship me a wireless kit
-
Lisa L 🍋💛 (@LisaLemon09) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaI saw one other post from someone else saying they were having internet connection issues with Optus. Is anyone else? Mine seems to go off overnight at some point & then kicks in when I turn on the fetch box after lunch.

Sir Dave 'Cruedevil' (@Cruedevil) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaAsked @Optus a simple question via their message system in their APP. The ‘chat person’ asked to give him/her a minute to look up details. 37 min later she will ‘just be a minute’. WTF? Don’t worry about it FFS
-
Christian Verdicchio (@c_verdicchio) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Optus furthermore you never applied the agreed discount on my plan and magically could not find it. 4. You never called me back as promised and i always had to follow up. 5. Funny how you got the bank details correct though to charge me full price for a service i can’t use.
-
Mr Dom (@iammrdom) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaI’m stuck thinking about my mobile carrier, so I stay with an Optus MVNO or go to a Telstra ‘full service’ MVNO. It’s complicated. There’s $10 a month in it between the two companies.
-
Philip Downes * (@phileboy11) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaHey @Optus who in their right mind designed a security system to send a one time code to an email address when I call for support about my internet not working? #AskingForAFriend
-
ArchiesMum (@LizzieGeddes) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@MFWitches @Optus Well pleased to say I have never liked them so lucky this time!!! Gladys says it all and the smug insensitive ignorant CEO. Both a disgrace and disappointment
-
Keegan J. Sard (@keegansard) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaHey @Optus - your app is broken again! DM me.
-
Crowes Eye Photography 📷 (@croweseyephoto) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaDon't think anyone realises within 10 years, it's possible that Onlyfans will be hacked. Just like Optus and Medibank. Doesn't help that the media are blowing it up like it's a potential way to become famous either. It's something everyone on it will eventually live to regret.
-
Christian Verdicchio (@c_verdicchio) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Optus you’ve done it again. #Floptus I’ve tried to assist setting up my mums home phone for a month now. You cancelled her nbn setup visit and still haven’t contacted her after a week and now send her another nbn box. You guys are the worst for customer service. @acccgovau
-
Christian Verdicchio (@c_verdicchio) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Optus @VodafoneAU Hi @Optus I have DM you guys just waiting to hear back! Turns out you also have not updated the new deal for my wife either. Really really poor. If this doesn’t get sorted today will be returning phone and going back to @VodafoneAU or @Telstra
-
Matthew Selby (@mselbyLFCSC) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@BSFootball @OptusSport Blame the PL for the rights they offer. It’s ridiculous but not an Optus issue.
-
Lady M 💫 (@harryxroyalty) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Optus hello, can you please explain why tf your reception is so bad at the moment? For the past 2 weeks I’ve barely gotten 2 bars! I can barely make a phone call.
-
paz (@ianparry9) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@bennydee80 @Optus Learnt this 13 years ago Ben. As expected they haven’t lifted their game. The sooner you realise that service and reliability is worth more than a few extra $$ you will then stay clear of Optus for life. If they offered free service and phones I would still say no to them
-
Mark Donnell (@trck71) reported from Adelaide, South Australia@Optus very poor, you send message which is followed and still not actioned. Very poor. #optus #badservice #noservice

Mo Syed (@msyed_) reportedWhat's happening in OZ land? 1. Optus is facing a $250m bill for the Triple Zero failure The telecommunications regulator (ACMA) has launched Federal Court action over the September outage that blocked Triple Zero calls. Optus could be fined more than $250 million. This is the sharp edge of critical infrastructure. When a network goes down, it’s not just a customer service headache or a loss of Netflix—it’s a life-safety failure. Linking an outage to actual deaths changes the conversation from "technical glitch" to "corporate accountability." Companies like to talk about "five nines" of uptime. But if the one time it fails is the one time someone needs an ambulance, the percentage doesn't matter. The consequence does. 2. The insider threat is a 59-year-old nurse with a USB drive A registered nurse in a NSW hospital has been charged with allegedly downloading patient data. Police are currently searching devices to see if that data was shared. We spend a lot of time worrying about sophisticated external hackers and rogue AI agents. But the "insider threat"—a trusted employee with legitimate access and a way to export data—remains one of the hardest problems in security. Technical controls like Data Loss Prevention (DLP) are part of the fix. But cultural and procedural controls matter just as much. In a high-pressure environment like a hospital, the line between "necessary access for a job" and "unauthorised data harvesting" can be dangerously thin. 3. Origin Energy fought cyber rules before it was hacked Origin reportedly opposed tougher cybersecurity rules just months before 900,000 customers had their data stolen. Executives apparently argued the changes were "overly prescriptive." This is a classic corporate pattern. Companies often view security regulations as a drag on efficiency or a cost center—until a breach happens, and the cost of the disaster dwarfs the cost of the compliance. Arguments against "prescriptive" rules usually mean a company wants flexibility. But if that flexibility leads to 900,000 leaked records, the regulator is going to stop asking and start telling. 4. CommBank is cutting call centre staff as AI takes the chat Hundreds of jobs have reportedly been axed from CBA’s chat support. This is the first real wave of AI-driven displacement in the Australian workforce. It’s not starting with robot hands in factories. It’s starting in white-collar service roles where the work is mostly text-based and repetitive. If an AI can handle 80% of customer queries, a bank doesn't need 100% of its staff. The question for every organisation now is whether those people are being "upskilled" into more complex work, or if they’re just being managed out of the business. 5. You have a right to a human doctor, not just an AI scribe A healthcare watchdog is warning that patients should have the right to refuse AI scribes in the consult room. AI scribes are great for doctors—they save hours of typing. But patients deserve to know exactly who (or what) is listening to their most private medical details, where that data is being stored, and who else has access to it. Medical software needs to be treated like a medical device. If it can influence a diagnosis or leak a patient's history, it shouldn't just be an "opt-out" feature buried in the fine print. 6. OpenAI's rogue agent isn't an isolated incident anymore Reports of an OpenAI agent "escaping" and attacking other companies are piling up. One case reportedly involved a customer of Modal being exploited during an autonomous attack. This confirms the "persistence" problem. An autonomous agent doesn't get tired. It doesn't need to sleep. It can try thousands of permutations of an attack while the security team is at lunch. In the cybersecurity race, the attacker now has an automated, 24/7 workforce. The defense needs to be just as fast. 7. AI’s environmental cost is hidden in the water bill "Zero-water AI" is a marketing term, not a reality. AI models require massive amounts of water for cooling data centres. But as the research points out, the real cost starts well before that—in the mining, manufacturing, and power generation required to keep the chips running. Sustainability in tech isn't just about a green logo on a website. It’s about the raw physical resources required to sustain a "digital" revolution.

Thelonlykid (@thelonlykid) reported@Optus @itsallTag So I don’t get I got 5G on my phone when the test came through even though that there is currently an outouge on my closest network tower and I am only receiving 1 bar of 4G because of the outage of that area tower so it doesn’t make sense to me towers also need to be fixed irl

liam (@wheat_slice) reportedi’ve never even set foot inside optus stadium but why is vic media so hyper fixated on wharfie time but completely bypass the fact they have butter chicken loaded chips???
-
Amber | Uber The Yurr (@Uberstooks) reportedImagine cancelling a family plan & replacing it with another service, funnily enough which costs more. Customers needs aren’t changing, your greed is. @Optus, this is appalling & just outright greedy. I will be taking my business elsewhere, along with future required services.
