Big outage: Optus cut emergency calls across NT, SA, WA, NSW for ~13 hrs on Sept 18, 2025. 4 lives lost; $12M fine; 10+ upgrade errors. Welfare checks reviewed. #OptusOutage!

According to the nbn website we have a simultaneous planned and unplanned outage on the network today. So helpful! And not even a text from Optus to let us know. Again, so helpful! So glad these companies communicate with us so clearly for all the money we pay them.

wtf @optus_help
Optusnet emails not working on outlook or iPhone mail app all day yesterday, finally working again this morning, and now down again. Surely it’s not hard to maintain a stable server. When will it be resolved? #optus

🚨 Apparently there is an Optus outage that is impacting on audiovisual links for prisons dialling into court.
Something for practitioners to bear in mind today.

At least I can use the dial-up speed offered by @optus to slowly check that there is an outage on this website.
A very exclusive service.

Any cyber wizards that can answer this for me.
If it takes @optus 8 hours to acknowledge an internet outage how long will it take them to fix it?

Interesting that as soon at the optus outage in Brisbane is on the ABC news that the optus finally fixed the outage in the hour

Optus: "You'll have to report your Internet outage via the website."
Me: "But I have no Internet. How do I do that?"
Silence.

It wouldn’t be a day ending with a Y if there wasn’t a *** forsaken Optus outage.
Customer of 5+ years & I’m sick to death of it. This year has been their worst, including national scandals & even deaths due to their ineptitude.
2026 is gonna kick off with a TelCo change for me

Another optus nbn/phone outage... wonder what there excuse will be

#Melbourne #Optus Yes, the recent Optus outage on November 25, 2025, affecting over 14,000 customers in Victoria's Mornington Peninsula and Frankston areas (including mobile calls, internet, and emergency Triple Zero access), was caused by vandalism involving copper theft. /grok

Something odd about Optus' outage explanation, @MichaelWestBiz, 'stolen fibre cabling to obtain copper'. Fibre cabling doesn't contain copper. Fibre transmits data via light, not electronic signals.🤔
