  • nonspecialist Colin Panisset (@nonspecialist) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @mipearson They had a cable outage at our place. My ticket got merged with someone else’s somehow, and I’ve spent the past 2 weeks telling Optus when they call me that they have the wrong number for a call I didn’t open. My issue did get resolved, but I bet that other customer is cranky

  • AdamTho88718953 Adam Thompson (@AdamTho88718953) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus thanks for waiting my afternoon so now a technician needs to come out cause AGAIN THE DAMN SERVICE DOES NOT WORK! And oh apparently my landline number has changed but AGAIN NO ONE FGGGGGKING TELLS YOU ANYTHING. Like my plan got changed and now my fggking landline FGGGGK!!!

  • abhi_khandu एनोनिमस (@abhi_khandu) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    In the world where you can do almost anything with a touch off a button. I had to drop off from 30mins (4 times) waiting call on @Telstra @TelstraEnt. It's like #telstra penalize you for been their customer. #pathetic service #domo #optus #dodo

  • VladdyB Vladdy Van Savage (@VladdyB) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Optus Technical Support is *********! After nearly 1 hour on hold their so called 'customer service' doesn't exist. Totally Useless

  • Paul_Coniglio Paul_In_Melb (@Paul_Coniglio) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @cooksey_ben @Optus Ben we are in 3195 and our cable net down too. Colleague in parkdale reporting no mobile phone coverage on Optus either in 3195.

  • G1NCHY g1nchy 🗨️ (@G1NCHY) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Hi Optus, where can I send my invoice to Optus for days lost, ADSL was meant to be transferred on the 18th Jan. ADSL connection was activated on 19th Feb. The connection has been running at 2mbs. An Optus technician was booked last week to check the line. They said the issue was

  • tiges_rule Susan Luber (@tiges_rule) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus has the worst customer service ever. I tried to organise nbn through their online chat and they flat out lied to me in order to get my business.

  • abcoathup Andrew B Coathup (@abcoathup) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus Mobile reception is poor. Will deal with it tomorrow.

  • tiges_rule Susan Luber (@tiges_rule) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus And I have spoken to nbnco themselves and they have confirmed that you are flat out lying to me. The times available depend on the provider NOT the nbn. Further proving how bad the customer service at Optus has been.

  • mattdarveniza Matt (@mattdarveniza) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @mipearson My Optus DSL has been dropping PPPoE auth and DNS once every couple of hours for the last few months and I haven’t tried to fix it because I know contacting Optus about it is such a ***********.

  • poonamjsamant POONAM (@poonamjsamant) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus every single time I travel.. I have issues with travel pack. Or with extra charges.. Or with international calling. Maybe it's time to change service to good old Telstra

  • timewaster2000 Mark Gambino 🗿 (@timewaster2000) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    It pays to shop around for @NBN_Australia products, even if you’re on contract. I may pay a cancellation fee to sever my @Optus ADSL service, but the zero install fee and lower monthly cost of another company will see me ~$50 better off over 24 months, plus enjoy faster speeds.

  • li_dpq li 🤷🏻‍♀️ (@li_dpq) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Hoping our internet (@Optus) doesn't drop out. We're getting the PPV. Tried to contact tech support, nothing was really resolved. 🙌🏼

  • xafarr Muhammad Zafar (@xafarr) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Hey @Optus, I am trying to connect to your support chat for the past 2 days without success. It seems that you intentionally made extremely difficult to get to customer service #badcustomerservice

  • AdamTho88718953 Adam Thompson (@AdamTho88718953) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus I really don’t know why we pay for this crap. Get screwed around during week and changed which I had to ring up because my internet wasn’t working, no one would have informed that my plan got changed or whatever.

  • daamon_parker Daamon Parker (@daamon_parker) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @mark_barbs @iiNet Ditch them mate. I was on @iiNet and had loads of issues and was just met with bureaucratic “help”. Got nowhere - wasted my time. For the same monthly price with @Optus went from 2Mb/s (at best) to 30Mb/s consistently.

  • AdamTho88718953 Adam Thompson (@AdamTho88718953) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus then i to top it off ever since my adsl2+, got changed I have had 6 drop outs this weekend lucky if it stays on for 1-2 hours this is a disgrace. Then I’ll end up on no bloody network which I’m guessing it will be WORSE.!!!!

  • abcoathup Andrew B Coathup (@abcoathup) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus Hi, I tried phoning 131344 to report from my mobile but the signal dropped out. Still no phone line or internet.

  • RandzyBirb Bird 🅱️⭕️ℹ️ (@RandzyBirb) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus your 4g home internet is shit, latency through the roof and super inconsistent. Plus your technical support is no help 😡😡😡😡

  • scousehelen helen drinoczky (@scousehelen) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus 30 minutes wait on all lines, long wait too on 'live chat' then having to swap between several different departments and still cannot fix the issues. 😠

  • CGrandma55 CrankyGrandma55 (@CGrandma55) reported

    @Optus Zac how about you supply a service faults phone number on bills so that when internet doesnt work we have a number to call to connect to a person.Seems you're all about the sales and nothing about the service. Its tone deaf to tell people to go online to fix when its not working.

  • netculture dr. rick, statistical outlier (@netculture) reported

    @tamaleaver I hear ya. Despite coaxing by the host uni, I purposely avoided pursuing a prominent Optus-funded gig in VIC a few years ago b/c of what I sensed as major COIs that would be horrible to navigate & manage as a faculty member. #SmartChoice

  • Seth_chapman02 Seth (@Seth_chapman02) reported

    @FarmerDils Dills come on Optus is the way to go. Or Telstra if you have money tbh. But legit iinet and Aussie internet sucks.

  • simonehaigh Simone Haigh (@simonehaigh) reported

    @Telstra Well I fixed the problem. I cancelled my data plan with telstra (after being told too bad we won't be upgrading anything in your area) and changed to @Optus now I have wonderful fast internet and better customer service

  • virenderghangas kala (@virenderghangas) reported

    @Optus To be continued:- Time a customer have a issue with the optus

  • DrOfBusiness TheBusinessDoctor (@DrOfBusiness) reported

    @Optus I called you yesterday to stop you billing us & get a refund for a service that was cancelled in October. You SMS’d me just now to tell me you’re reestablishing my service and I can follow the request on myaccount. This is unacceptable. I can’t contact you.

  • Saltwater_Sunae Sunae Reilly (@Saltwater_Sunae) reported

    Hey @Optus how come there is no way to possibly talk to a person when calling your customer service line? It all redirects back to the app, including changing passwords for the app. Absolutely ridiculous! I can’t log into the app because I don’t have log in details.

  • Wanal_an Alan (@Wanal_an) reported

    @Optus Fix my internet

  • DrOfBusiness TheBusinessDoctor (@DrOfBusiness) reported

    @Optus I have not ordered any service!!!!! We cancelled in October and we want you to stop billing us. Acknowledge!!! We will take this to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman if you persist with this fraudulent attempt to transfer us from our existing provider.

  • virenderghangas kala (@virenderghangas) reported

    Terrible service @Optus
