    @NBN_Australia An update: called @Optus who transferred us to @NBN_Australia who then told us that there is an outage in the Sandy Bay (Tasmania) area and that the internet would be on in 4 hours (9pm last night). 9pm has been and gone. Standard troubleshooting, eg reboot hardware, etc & nada!

    @Huawei_Europe Years ago #Optus have me a @Huawei loaner mobile phone while mine was sent off for repairs. It was the worst piece of junk I'd ever come across. I gave it back and bought myself a cheap, far superior @NokiaMobile . #Rubbish

  • ollie_bo Ollie Roberts (@ollie_bo) reported from Hobart, State of Tasmania

    @Optus @NBN_Australia Currently on hold to Optus & online chat. We’ve been told the relocation request we put in doesn’t exist, even though it is in multiple chat threads with Optus who said they’d arrange this. They recognised that our service was previously working, just not with the speed boost WTF

    @Adelaid_H Oh **** that's nuts. I work at Optus and all the pros are listed as backorder atm

  • She_Noob_ SheNoob 🇦🇺🏳️‍🌈 | Bad Luck Charms 😏 (@She_Noob_) reported from Hobart, State of Tasmania

    Well I think I'll be staying with Telstra after all, after the garbage customer service I've received from @Optus this week. #notimpressed As a customer service rep myself, I know the value of good service. That ain't it, chief.

    @OptusSport We'd love to enjoy @OptusSport however our @Optus nbn is down for 24-48 hours 👍

    @Optus @mytribeof55555 You need to **** them off, their incompetence is next level

  • LeashUnleashed Alicia B (@LeashUnleashed) reported

    I try SO hard not to get angry with customer service reps, as I know they're just doing their jobs, but FFS @Optus , I am about to completely lose it at this crap. Luckily the reps on your useless message app don't get sarcasm.

  • BornABomber 🏳️‍🌈 N 🏳️‍⚧️ (@BornABomber) reported

    Three “upgrades” to the network in my town in the last three months, and yet my service is worse than its ever been, and half the time actually unusable. Great work @Optus 🙃

  • LeashUnleashed Alicia B (@LeashUnleashed) reported

    @Optus Oh look. 6 days in, a third pointless and frustrating hour long session on the phone to @optus yesterday, and my SIM card still isn't activated. Seriously. You tell me I have to call for security reasons. 3 calls later, screw your security. Just activate my damn SIM.

  • pare3zy pare3zy (@pare3zy) reported

    @Optus how is it possible I can get access to a replacement eSIM? I calling (have not receiving what I was promised), then when I called again I am referred to the messaging app where I’m told they don’t have authority to help & I’ll have to wait to the morning or visit a store?

  • MAC_of_wine Yasmin Whately (@MAC_of_wine) reported

    So @Optus when will you resolve your number sharing issue? Why can’t I get information from anyone?

  • LeashUnleashed Alicia B (@LeashUnleashed) reported

    I have explained everything multiple times on the stupid @Optus messaging app you keep telling me to use instead while I'm on hold, to be constantly told they can't activate SIM cards. I have physical disabilities, so visiting a store is not an option.

  • EliteGold1 Electric Yacht (@EliteGold1) reported

    The problem is Optus' Indian customer service centre. It is well known to be staffed by criminals, with full access to customers' details and accounts. I have had problems with scammers who could only have got specific information from the optus database via the call centre.

  • GarconAU Guy Garconnette (@GarconAU) reported

    @maxfoster811 @Optus Head into a store. I got my issue sorted in 5 minutes. Still can't believe what I went through and all of the inconsistencies.

  • GarconAU Guy Garconnette (@GarconAU) reported

    @maxfoster811 @Optus Fingers crossed you get a resolution too

  • MattGri14935200 Matt Griffin (@MattGri14935200) reported

    @Optus have tried all afternoon to get my internet working to no avail. In Iso which is the pits. Worse thing though is your messaging chat has died on me twice and your tech support phone line can you believe it is “having technical difficulties”. At a loss 😩
