-
ScubaSteve (@fanaticeel) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@peter__kay It's truly appalling. And due to present laws passed by the previous govt Optus won't be fined! However that doesn't help what happened. I haven't been with optus since 96.. hmm I should be ok
-
V2★Anтнøny (@MKWAnthony) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandCurrently having a blackout and my 4G is garbage at best. Optus letting me down like most people in my life lol
-
Matt (@MattIsNE1) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@TGUZ72 @Optus Well I have evidence as per screenshot and chat history that there is an issue which @Optus know about and they will compensate for number of days we are without service.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Matt Guest (@Guesty22) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandI really wish my @Optus 5G WiFi would not drop out every ten mins. Been nothing but trouble since we had it. Need to go back to NBN awful signal.
-
Politic@l Spinner (@LesStonehouse) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@FearbySoftware Optus for over 20 years.. Never had a problem.. Fingers crossed
-
Imran Ali Rana (@emeerana) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandFix your **** @Telstra don't let your customers switch to Optus. ******* nightmare!
-
Rubens Camejo (@PagewoodCoach) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandAnyone else having issues with Optus' BS new HUB setup?
-
Bonshaquita’lafondria (@Flansq) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandDoes anyone else find Optus 5G regularly shows as connected with full service, but no data will transfer? Websites won’t open, apps won’t connect etc?
-
Joel (@JoelTHFC) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Daniel__Nash Haha Optus rotate presenters every four hours, sometimes 2. Hang in there bud!
-
Michael McNally (@NTEUQldDivSec) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandAbsolute crap service from @Optus “more than an hour and so we won’t be dealing with your call today”. #optusfail Yasmin got through and they wouldn’t let her just report the fault even though she has an @Optus account at same address. Complete failure of their outsourcing model
-
andrew dutton (@duttonkona) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandBeen 2 days without NBN in Mansfield qld. Silence from @optus but they confirm there is an outage.
-
Boris Osery (@BorisOsery) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@OptusNewsRoom I ordered a SIM card online on the 25/09/20. The Optus site says 3/5 business days delivery time. Optus can you tell me should your advertising be 30/50 business days delivery?? It’s the 12/10/20??? 🤬 WTF
-
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.
-
Matt Guest (@Guesty22) reported from Brisbane, QueenslandOptus being down is causing me all sorts of issues at work today.
-
Arash (@aimani) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus we haven’t had mobile reception at our house in The Gap 4061 all day. Why the outage and when will it get rectified???
-
ScubaSteve (@fanaticeel) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@peter__kay I think many will abandon Optus. At least the state governments have agreed to allow people to change their licences however that doesn't help those who used their passports. I hope it doesn't happen but someone could lose a lot of money
-
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.

Stephen Beckett (@StephenABeckett) reported from Brisbane, Queensland@Optus trying to change my voicemail message to say I’m on leave. Apparently my phone number is invalid. Pls help

yjb (@Sark64754Farhan) reported@aravint_2107 Yes for WOR optus is the ideal pitch It will hide his weakness of giving width and elevate his strength Only ground where giving width is not a problem His test will be the other grounds

Jumbarrawa (@jumbarrawa) reportedIt's not like mainstream media dont know about ANY of this. 👇👇 In September 2017, the federal government announced a $50 million investment over seven years in the Cyber Security Cooperative Research Centre (CSCRC). The CEO was Rachael Falk. She led the independent review into the Optus and Medibank cyber breaches. She was appointed by the Minister for Home Affairs to the Expert Advisory Board for Australia’s 2023-2030 Cyber Security Strategy. In February 2025, Falk left the CSCRC to become a partner at Ashurst Risk Advisory—a return to the firm where she had worked as a lawyer in 1998. The CSCRC was not just a research centre. It was a revolving door—a place where a connected insider could build a network, then cash in.

Eagles. Stats and random. (@EaglestatsNW) reportedIt's not possible for that to happen. I think not quite as bad as at Optus, both require a full clearing of the decks across the whole club. This isn't a rebuild in culture which is clearly what's required. It's just collecting players & not making them gel
-
Peter Lewis (@Peter_Lewis747) reported@Sueberry2 @blu_boys @Optus Not full Telstra network, limited Telstra network access. Only Boost has full Telstra network access.
-
rach (@rachael18536941) reported@6bretto9 I’m worried hawks won’t go deep in the finals as the first game for us if we stay 4th we have to play Freo at Optus and that sucks
-
Rob (@hkrob) reported@Optus Have you tried tracert the IP I mentioned in the Original post from an Optus network?
-
Crumpet of Patriots (@CastIronBalcony) reported@JohnWinstHoward Ah, Optus must think I've still got my data roaming on? ****. Must follow up. Thanks
-
Stuart (@Stewie8t) reported@JimThom90458694 Just as with the Optus and other high profile hacks, it is our stupid 🇦🇺 government that insists on comprehensive customer data being retained for two or three years rather than being collected and retained for only as long as it takes to confirm the account, a couple of months.
-
Richie_Night Owl (@richardmelb05) reported@Optus Hi Jay, I dont think you can assist me, one of your optus colleagues has told me by phone, nbn is having an unplanned outage, nbn isnt saying how long it will last
-
Fred 🇦🇺 (@Possum2412) reported@tonyward116 @Batman2242 Optus was probably down again.
