  • oldlillipilli Joanna Mendelssohn (@oldlillipilli) reported

    @mirojurcevic @Optus I phoned Optus sales, not accounts, & told them to offer what they offered new customers or I’d be an ex-customer. It worked

  • pudlet37 Andrew Philip (@pudlet37) reported

    What an absolute ******* of a customer service process @Optus has! Any chance of explaining an issue to 1 person instead of 3? Any chance of not being hung up by all 3 now? #useless

  • ChrisMusty Chris Musty (@ChrisMusty) reported

    Call from @Optus after lodging with the TIO. Position is now that I need to move to another provider AT MY EXPENSE. They do not have sufficient control of their own infrastructure to ensure I must be present to make account changes! I am gobsmacked. They refuse to help me! WTF!

  • ilib0y Edin Ilijazi (@ilib0y) reported

    Are @Optus the worst Internet Service Provider in Australia? So far they have 1. Charged us for a service that doesn't exist. 2. Charged us after they broke a contract. 3. Won't honour their own FlyBuys promotion. 4. Can't seem to fix our Internet. What can we do? #optussucks

  • ChrisMusty Chris Musty (@ChrisMusty) reported

    @Optus your staff are beyond useless! You allow hacker to call up and get my phone diverted before calling my bank, changing passwords and removing money. This despite 6 times in the past and note to say dont allow it WTF guys!

  • GetZestEd The Centre 4 Rational Emotive Behaviour Education (@GetZestEd) reported

    @Optus Optus owes me a credit. Keeps billing me for 50 cents outstanding. Been to Optus store to fix. Weren't interested. Had been with them 30 plus years. Poor show!

  • LOUTENDO64 LOUTENDO64 (@LOUTENDO64) reported

    @Optus Hey the DS is down and planned outages weren't scheduled until 18/03 at 11pm. Is there a separate issue at the moment or did Optus provide the incorrect date for the outage? Thx

  • KelsierAlThor Kelsier (@KelsierAlThor) reported

    @Optus My service in Heathcote NSW is down and I've been told by your app messaging team that its down for 10 days. No warnings here. I need my phone for my job. App team is now not replying to any messages.

  • clairacannon claira (@clairacannon) reported

    Hey @Optus I got the series 6 Apple Watch through you guys when it came out, major battery issues as of 3 days ago do I come to an Optus store or apple?

  • JeromeYe We exist (@JeromeYe) reported

    Hey @Optus , your data connection and coverage is still really bad in South Yarra. Is the upgrade finished yet?
