Barry Rutherford | Parkrun fan (@barryrutherford) reported from Brisbane, 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.

Rua Uilliam (💉💉💉 Pagan Prole Sewer Rat) (@RuaBrithem) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandThe plumber ****** the NBN cable and I am now without wifi and phone. Plumber notntaming responsibility because it wasn’t “regulation”. Waiting to hear back from Optus to see when NBN can come out to fix it.
-
Jase Smith (@JaseSmith78) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@GaryNunn1 Aldi mobile uses the Telstra network without the Telstra price... but not sure if it supports things like multi devices or Apple Watch - I put my husband on $35 Optus plan (plus $15 to link iPad and the watch was free for the first year) with 30gb
-
Politic@l Spinner (@LesStonehouse) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus My wife should contact you tonight she's working.. **** she was a mess never I want to see her like this again
-
Robert Watkins (@twasink) reported from Brisbane, 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.
-
Robbie Shenton (@TheOlderGamer52) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@VicBStard @NBN_Australia Makes sense. If @Optus had of kept the maintence of the cable up to standard before selling to the NBN then it wouldn't have been an issue.That being said I don't get why the NBN didn't just fix the issues.

💧John Mair QGM (@mairzy3039) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandWhat the hell are Stefanovic and Canavan on Today talking about? They are saying Gladys is the person to fix Optus. FFS 🤬🤬🤬🤬
-
Todd Hacking (@todd42246896) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandHey @Optus - I’m so annoyed. The service I’ve received is beyond appalling. I have a personal account and recently changed the business account to you but I’m told your crm system can’t differentiate or create two distinct entities - causing confusion and mix ups. It’s 2021!
-
Gary Thomas Ellis (@GaryThomasEllis) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandBloody hell #Optus 6 ads in a row in a subscription service is beyond reasonable. All the ads were for your own products.
-
eggs fan page (@_rigormoris_) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@rab_s It’s so ******* annoying they ALWAYS get the first attempt wrong to a business and it only arrives successfully after optus email them letting them know the business name and floor. How ******** don’t they have a work around for this yet? it’s incredible
-
lesposen (@lesposen) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus I’m on phone support currently. The question is about remotely rebooting my modem when away, it drops connection 2xweekly
-
greg bradley (@gb7004) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandDear @Optus you are a disgrace, cancel my ADSL as I am signed up to NBN well I would be but still waiting for a modem from you from 10th Oct, rang help desk and Annika CB690949 was going to ring me back in 10/15 minutes 40 minutes.

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

Michelle Worthington (@michelle_author) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus DM sent. I’m not sure you can help. I was simply told I should have read my contract better.
-
CommonGround (@CommonGroundAu) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@ParamountPlusAU @lfc2379 Umm. Problem. Apple TV's don't have a web browser, how can I watch this game on my apple TV. Also, your excuse for lack of apple TV support is unfounded when I watch many other live sporting matches with other apps on Apple TV. 10play and Optus sports have no issues.

Gerimima StFrostfirst (@blake_andersson) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@lukeacl @halftimbered @tuppaware @BeauGiles @AppleMusic @Mardukian @twistieman FWIW I’m on Optus (don’t hate me) and I have zero issues like what’s been described ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Optus Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Chris Eastaughffe (AZ Vac done) (@Chris_E_Qld_Au) reported@therevaknight Because of Government incompetence, they had no simple backup system, they made NO allowances for technological failure, complexity is the enemy of reliable; the reliability issue was known (ref previous OPTUS outage). NO REDUNDANCY for critical infrastructure! @heidimur
-
Ben Nexhip (@ben_nexhip) reported@Cazzawhy @TigerAncient @SenSHenderson It’s also important that an opposition member of parliament can hold an MP accountable and be aware of lack of access to emergency services to the public in which they serve. Remembering what happened to Optus when people died as a result of losing the same access that was lost yesterday.
-
Dr Ravi Nayyar (@ravirockks) reported'[CBA] suggested customers switch connections to an Optus network or local wi-fi source. '[Tyro] was aware some people were unable to connect to payment machines that operate on 4G networks'.
-
🥧 LollyBread (@LollyBread) reported@OneNewsAu Well he ****** up completely by choosing Optus as his partner - they are just the worst!
-
Evangeline (@evangelinestuff) reported@thmsenglsh i used to work at telstra and we had even more data breaches and outages than optus did but telstras like besties with every australian media outlet and funds alot of their services so everyone just bags on optus instead, telstra genuinely sucks
-
bro (@bro_1980) reported@Adrian_Arciuli @FIFAWorldCup Get rid of the mcg, Adelaide oval and Optus. Not designed for football. Terrible to watch a game
-
alli 🍂👑🔎 tøp 19/11/24 (@kitswhiteshirts) reportedinteresting how i was with telstra during the 2 optus outages and now im with optus there was a telstra outage
-
M_a_r_ke (@Ma_rk_e) reported@OneNewsAu optus announced the partnership with starlink on July 12 2023 and telstra announced it on July 3rd 2023, Telstra starlink messaging started June 3 2025 optus? well nothing. "covers blackspots telstra never will" that might make sense if telstra also didn't get starlink messaging
-
Ash 🇦🇺 (@TheInspectorAsh) reported@JacintaAllanMP We saw similar issues with Optus. There is supposed to be redundancy that allows emergency calls to be carried over any available mobile network. If our emergency communications and critical infrastructure are meant to be resilient, why do single network outages continue to have such widespread impacts? It’s time to review whether our redundancy is truly independent, or whether we’re relying on backup systems that share the same points of failure.

MichaelinMelbourne (@Michael94858047) reported@mdtlion FYI! The Labor Government have STILL NOT released the findings of the OPTUS OUTAGE in September 2025. DONT hold your breath for answers folks! CHEERS ANNIKA!
