    As a happy customer, I recommended my friend to switch to @Optus. Been facing few issues, was overcharged, to name the primary one. 2.5 months 4 store visits 8 customer care calls (avg 45 min each) Not yet sorted. @Optus please suggest best way before reaching out to TIO.

  • The_Yummyness1 The Frank Of Franks (@The_Yummyness1) reported

    @Optus Are you aware some people could be stranded right now without any means of communication due to this inconvenience. I think #Optus should give all its customers free calling and data for the day or until the issue is resolved.

  • Luvlify sammi (@Luvlify) reported

    @sophie_bulldogs @Optus They are The worst company in history

    @NBN_Australia Thank you dearly, have contacted @Optus multiple times and they have said that the intermittent dropouts are within normal dropout times. Appreciate it @NBN_Australia you guys are just the service <3. They are actually useless. #optuspickupyourgame

    @Optus You gonna tell me that Optus does a physical $1 Top up? Also this is your error not mine, you gonna pay for my gas to go physically purchase a top up. FIX THE ISSUE!

    @lynlinking @WgarNews IMHO we don’t need 2 wait for any possible ICAC finding. Based on evidence given in public/reported, #Gladys conduct especially inaction re ICAC notification is a colossal corporate governance conflict of interest fail under any evolved priv. sector corporate policy hello @Optus

  • kim_devery Kim Devery (@kim_devery) reported

    Hi @optus 6 hours I've had no internet.  I accessed your message in YES app, your bot could not assist. Waiting 90 mins for one of your experts to message Nothing.  I registered for updates. Nothing.  Look, I understand things break, but your customer service and comms so poor.

  • mrdanielmarch mrdanielmarch (@mrdanielmarch) reported

    @Optus worlds most rubbish internet service

  • mrphilmercer Phillip Mercer (@mrphilmercer) reported

    @Optus our @NBN_Australia is down AGAIN and your “support” app won’t work because a telecommunications company decided to do upgrades taking them off line in the middle of business hours.

    @Optus Why does Optus keep sending me this when it should be included in my plan? “From Yes Optus. The service 1800724878 may not be enabled for SMS or unavailable.” #optus
