Is Optus down?

#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.🤔

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

Am I right in what I heard on news? The triple zero issue that was blamed on Optus has now been found by Telstra and has been identified as phones not working on newer updates, and it's a result of the 3G network shutdown? Huge if true.

Did the interwebs go down worldwide because of Albanese plugging his optus phone into an airport charging USB port! #internetdown

Telstra network down here in the bush. So who was smart enough to rig up an old phone to the Optus network in advance? Yep, if Optus could crash, as it did, so can Telstra. So I have 3 smartphones, and two networks...JUST IN CASE! When you're out in the bush, you have to

#insiders I cannot believe Mackintosh showed her face giving the most childish account of the Optus outage on 000. Just rubbish.

Any ***** on Optus? Cant make outbound calls. They down again?

Anika can say we are sorry the LNP did nothing to help when the Optus outage started in 2018 as people have died needlessly because the LNP are a pack of lazy, deceitful, lying good for nothing politicians! We have increased fines & accountability next time they lose the licence

Anika Wells handled the latest question from MacIntosh beautifully. Told her to stop politicising deaths as a result of Optus outage as she has done for last two days. Wonderful answer. #qt
