    @Optus @femme_witch .@Optus I tried phoning several times but kept being told "too busy, try again later". I tried phone messaging Optus: robot said at 20:19 a live person would respond, still waiting online 21:02. I sent you direct Twitter messages 20:41. Please respond. OptusApp not working either

  • Ax77456 AS (@Ax77456) reported

    @Optus To @Optus & @Singtel management... Your current processes for keeping your customers INFORMED of outages is pathetic. You MUST ANSWER YOUR CUSTOMERS SUPPORT PHONES. NOT KNOWING WHAT'S GOING ON IS DISGRACEFUL CUSTOMER TREATMENT!!!
