    Hey @Optus thanks for some of possibly the worst customer service I've ever had. From website information giving different results, several hours spent on chat & over 3 hours on calls I still don't have Internet. Oh and let's no forget the 3x "someone will call you back" 1/3

  • Charlie_David Charlie David Page (@Charlie_David) reported

    @Optus Home of much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much… (breath) much worth internet. So good in theory. So terrible in practice. So very appalling in customer service.

    @DHikisz Tipped Freo as well, but if it rains at Optus, they could be in trouble.

  • petelead Pete Lead (@petelead) reported

    @Optus having website / technical issues? I got an email saying I'd used half my roaming data (I haven't) and "message us" isn't working on the website.

  • jeremyearl Jeremy Earl (@jeremyearl) reported

    What's happening @Optus? I had pre-arranged moving internet service, and surprise surprise, it didn't work when I arrived. Then I spent 3hrs on a chat with Deepak, only to have it shutdown due to inactivity. Whose? Optus?

  • benthien_tara Tara Wright (@benthien_tara) reported from Westfield, State of Western Australia

    @prairiegirl0028 Optus is like that right at the top. All open and freezing from the wind. Glad I'm down closer to the action now. Not sure we'll remain dry tomorrow night though in new seats. Unless of course it doesn't rain.

  • gptelegraph Gazette People's Telegraph (@gptelegraph) reported

    @optus chat: Sorry if you feel that way, I really wish to help you and I've tried all possible options available here , unfortunately it's out of my control hence I raised an incident case and forward to case manager

  • gptelegraph Gazette People's Telegraph (@gptelegraph) reported

    .@Optus we are live tweeting this support chat because it’s impossible to get any action after requesting service every single day for 12 days since migrating to Optus.

  • estherlimtf Esther Lim (@estherlimtf) reported

    @timinclimate Omgee. This happened to my mum! She has tried calling support and they insisted it’s her router, she called Optus as well. I think it’s a software update on Chrome’s side. Haven’t found a fix yet because the support aren’t helpful.

  • gptelegraph Gazette People's Telegraph (@gptelegraph) reported

    I have brought my first born to be sacrificed at the altar of Optus. Please May the Optus gods take the mercy on me and make the only service I migrated to them for work at least once.
