-
Timmy (@TimmyfromOz888) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@sandyhunter2 @Apple I would just say the Optus Sim hasn’t “engaged” yet ... I know sounds stupid but try the ol “turn off turn on” trick
-
Bonshaquita’lafondria (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, 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)
-
Bonshaquita’lafondria (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@_marty_k I dumped Voda for poor 5G coverage and rollout. Optus is still much better in that regard.
-
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)_/¯
-
Damien Buckley (@damienpbuckley) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@simonswiss @Optus Switch to Telstra mate. I know everyone loves to hate them but you can’t beat their mobile network
-
Imran Ali Rana (@emeerana) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandFix your **** @Telstra don't let your customers switch to Optus. ******* nightmare!
-
Laszlo Heiter (@laciheiter) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus and @NBN_Australia your network is shocking. I don’t think there’s been a day since Christmas that we’ve had a full day without network outage and connection dropping to the level where the internet just can’t be used. Seriously, just unacceptable for the price we pay. 😡
-
Rubens Camejo (@PagewoodCoach) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandAnyone else having issues with Optus' BS new HUB setup?
-
ＣＯＮＡＬ (@conal_tuohy) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@LucasMapstone_ @Cas2o @maz_jovanovich Same happened to me just now in Brisbane. Optus network told my phone to jump forward but my girlfriend's identical phone, with identical settings, 3m away, stayed on Queensland time.
-
Linda Thackeray (@Scribe31oz) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus I'm ready to go elsewhere. I am 5 days with barely any phone service because you people decide to do upgrades in the middle of a pandemic where people are advised to stay home.
-
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!
-
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
-
Shane Harris (@ShaneAusKiwi) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandThis is the year I cancel everything. Foxtel's gone. Uber's gone. Doordash gone. Optus gone.
-
Deb Berger (@debmberger) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus Thank you. It’s a pity your chat help couldn’t check this. Or at least advise me to look at it. I was asked to reset my phone, remove my SIM card, change various settings. Each of these solutions were suggested multiple times despite advising none of them corrected the issue.
-
Steve Putt (@EthicalAdviser) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus @glendat45 My house burnt down 14 months ago and they charged me for not returning the fetch box. That burnt along with it. Impossible to get any service from them. Hope it gets sorted out soon for you.
-
Michael McNally (@NTEUQldDivSec) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus Hi Aaron. I would love to use the app but your system now has the wrong date of birth for me after 20 years as a customer. And when I finally got through on Thursday and did my ID check - no problem. Something wrong with your app.
-
Bryce Parker (@bryce_parker26) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@TheSportsFreak @OptusStadium That’s really poor I did agree with your point about the WACA the only tests that should be played at Optus are Ashes and India They probably should have given perth a South African tests given the expat population as well
-
Matt Guest (@Guesty22) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandOptus being down is causing me all sorts of issues at work today.
-
Bryce Parker (@bryce_parker26) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@TheSportsFreak @OptusStadium That’s really poor still think all test should be played in school holidays I did agree with your point about the WACA the only tests that should be played at Optus are Ashes and India They probably should have given perth a South African tests given the expat population

-
Patriot princess 777 (@Garycopela0) reportedPfizer and CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) rollout. In short, Gladys Berejiklian who was found guilty of corruption, was installed in Optus as a puppet to create the hack in 2022 and outage in 2023 in order to pushout digital id and CBDC for offline payments according to
-
Stewie (@stewiexgreen) reported@Optus My current internet sometimes struggles to stream video. Giving me worse internet for cheaper doesn’t sound like a great solution.
-
Jordan Wardle (@JordanWardle5) reported@theinfradev @ruicharadrius I'm not revising history. The plan was fttp everywhere, with Telstra and optus copper being bought out to move them to the NBN. The copper was never going to be used for the NBN. Look at the Telstra definitive agreements from 2011.
-
Bill (Blagoyce - Pronounced "Blagoyche") Anakiev (@BILLTHEDJ) reportedThank you to the NBN/Optus for restoring my internet connection at full speed. For the past 2 months it was working at woeful speeds. I was initially told it was a problem at my end 3 times but it seems the complaining from my end caused action for them to investigate and fix.
-
0xMetaLabs (@0xMetaLabs) reportedIn 2022, Optus (Australia's 2nd biggest telco) exposed 9.8 million customer records. Root cause: an old API endpoint from a legacy system, left unauthenticated, facing the public internet. No one knew it was still running.
-
/. Gwynne (@gwynne007) reported@Trev__Says @susan_taylor07 @cjoye None of them would have been profit making assets. Telstra would have been a big slow behemoth that got pants’d by Optus and Vodafone. Our gas wouldn’t have been developed - it took 15 years from sale to production. And we would have been paying huge amounts of interest.
-
Cymon Deacon (@Cymon007) reported@AndyG_2086 @ejburke_ At least we wouldnt have to remove seats like the US as some the stadia are not wide enough to fit the FIFA standard width. It dint seem to be a problem at Olympiastadion (Berlin) to watch on an Oval stadium. Im sure MCG/Optus{perth} and adalaide Oval would be fine.
-
Con! (@c0n_AU) reported@electricfuture5 Good charger. WiFi would help because there’s piss poor Optus coverage making use of the Tesla or Kia apps hard.
-
Mike (@stocksworldbull) reported@TeamYouTube I contacted Optus team. They said the issue is at YouTube end. YouTube support need to refresh the sync for me. Please help. I have been paying for my optus subhub services since October 2025 and haven't been able to use youtube premium because it shows inactive on YouTube app.
-
M (@imboudee) reported@Justme136160 @robb_j_m To be fair, David is not wrong. Telcos will use the NBN infrastructure as they see fit. It’s cheaper to pay to use the NBN infrastructure that is already there than to lay down their own fibre. In fact, telcos like Optus and Telstra are already NBN providers.
