    @Optus Hi Aman, I appreciate that but I was told that before when I was promised multiple phone calls that never eventuated. Never mind the FTTN service we are getting drops out constantly and isn’t as reliable as the previous DSL service at my old address.

  • corymedia Cory (@corymedia) reported from Geelong, State of Victoria

    If the .@Optus network wasn’t so bad and .@VodafoneAU wasn’t ridiculously panicked as to whether I can pay (because they made it clear they think I don’t make enough money), I’d be looking for a better network.

  • DarrenAllatt Darren Allatt (@DarrenAllatt) reported

    Hey @Optus WTF is up with only issuing an Invoice AFTER payment is made, and on DD? My payment of $270 didn't go through OBVIOUSLY because that's not what my Bill should be ($120) NOW, I can't see ANY DETAILS of WHY TF You would BILL ME $270 FK Your new invoicing system!

  • DarrenAllatt Darren Allatt (@DarrenAllatt) reported

    @Optus Hey @MRowlandMP - Optus & Telstra have changed their business models to run like Netflix and not Utility Service Providers. Now, I don't get any transparency about charges BEFORE they are debited from my account. Not even an invoice, until after payment.

  • lachlanrdale Lachlan R. Dale (@lachlanrdale) reported

    My attempt to get @Optus to change my mobile plan to prepaid has just entered it’s 3rd hour on their live support chat.

  • deeanto8 Deee (@deeanto8) reported

    Hey @Optus why is my 5G not working???!!

  • DarrenAllatt Darren Allatt (@DarrenAllatt) reported

    @Optus @MRowlandMP @Telstra All I'd like is for them to: 1) Provide indicative charges during usage period 2) Issue Invoice at the end of usage period 3) Direct Debit 3-7 days after invoice Basic Business. not TAKE PAYMENT FIRST, then tell you what you paid them for!

  • huouer 杨朱路人甲 (@huouer) reported
