  @helphelpandhelp It's the fact that Optus KEPT all the personal info, even of ex-customers. WTF were they doing with licence and passport numbers well after the 100 point check had been done. WHY?

  Our @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

  In what they claim is a world first, $NOK and Optus used a robot dog to measure mobile coverage and design 6G networks. They also conducted a 6 GHz spectrum trial, in which a user could download a 2 hour HD movie in just a few seconds, or support over 140 simultaneous 4k video streams.

  Origin Energy just had 900,000 customers' data breached, joining Optus, Medibank, Qantas and DP World. We treat each as a one-off. A pattern this long stops being bad luck and starts being the cost of collecting data you can't protect. #CyberSecurity #DataBreach

  We need the telco to learn #auspol but as an Optus customer .who has seen it before, what happens hear? Zero cash for us, but the Optus bill goes up to cover this pay out to lawyers and a few who could afford them. Same as the mob who are suing Coles. Pays lawyers and a few and we all pay the price in the new prices, not Optus or Coles

  @KatrinaLarsen Hey, Katrina. We're sorry to hear that your service is currently impacted by an NBN outage. In the instance that your Optus modem that does not facilitate 4G back-up, our teams will look to provide interim support such as the Optus Internet Assistance Kit. This can be posted or collect from your nearest Optus store. If you hold an Optus Prepaid or Postpaid Mobile service, please don't hesitate to send through a Direct Message, and we can look to apply some Mobile Data to support using your Mobile as a Wi-Fi hotspot in the interim. - Dillon

  @jnj_pro Hey, J. Customers who log in using email & password also need to perform Multi-factor authentication (MFA). We recommend enabling biometrics in the My Optus App for a faster and secure login, where no extra codes are required. From the 1st of Jan 2026, no conversation history will be stored/available in the My Optus app or My Account online. We understand that this change is a pain point for you, and we've flagged this as feedback for the relevant teams to review. - Dillon
