Is Optus down?

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.

My internet is down and I only have one bar of service in my own home ****** Optus

******* Telstra is still down despite the website saying the Outage is done with. Great. Looks like I'm not gonna be able to do ******* anything and I know **** well there's gonna be zero compensation for this ****. Stuck with dogshit Optus for now.

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

As optus internet is down in brisbane lucky the @wbbl game on @abcsport digital to listen to this afternoon sixes v stars have a great call @GibsMoore @dec_byrne Michelle Goszko Charlotte Anneveld

So @Optus wifi has been down seemingly across qld or at least south east since approx 4am with no answers as to why? What is going on? No notification no reception just nothing @abcnews @9NewsAUS @newscomauHQ @10NewsAU

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

So QLD wide Optus nbn outage… love that 👌🏼

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.🤔

peak australia is having a 6 hr electricity outage and optus network shutdown in the middle of a heat wave

🌍 International UNAIDS warns global HIV efforts face major setback due to reduced funding. Australia’s Optus network faces 4th outage this month, affecting emergency calls.

Optus Outage.

Another Optus outage 👀

Optus is down again. This time in Vic. What is going on w/ that telco every other week. #Wednesday

Optus Outage : Melbourne south east Frankston area.

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) is refining its procedures for handling carrier outage notification data, particularly in light of the Optus outage. This aims to improve the identification of critical issues and ensure timely reporting to stakeholders,

1. Optus outage - My dad who's 82 years old has been left without internet and landline connection for 4 Days He wasn't able to contact anyone, and no one was able to contact him - for 4 Days Fortunately we were around him for most of those 4 Days, so it wasn't an issue

Did the #Optus outage cause people to lose ALL connectivity or JUST the ability to call 000? If the entire network is down, then of course people won't be able to reach 000. Not saying this is great but it would be nice if journalists could clarify this rather important point.

So an optus tower goes down and everyone goes up in a big stink because 34,000 people... Didn't connect to another network's tower with emergency calls only? Or? Like isn't this meant to be a solved problem? https://t.co/UxEZwkVrHc

Sky News - Optus experiencing another outage. This time in the Hunter region. Thought Albo's Anika had fixed that?

Optus is down, again.

Why didn't @Optus act quickly to fix #triplezero after the Nov 2023 national outage? #optus to stop offshoring and punt @nokia -> why the delay? unacceptable @optus Huge penalty required @acccgovau @acmadotgov #auspol

Optus is accelerating its plan to bring network functions in-house after a major outage caused by a flawed firewall upgrade performed by Nokia staff using an outdated manual. This incident highlights the risks of outsourcing critical network operations, potentially leading to
