    @helphelpandhelp It's the fact that Optus KEPT all the personal info, even of ex-customers. WTF were they doing with licence and passport numbers well after the 100 point check had been done. WHY?

    @geplusda @Optus Be careful dealing with O. O will try and shift blame. From around 6pm our service was almost useless. O said problem must be in-house, but when reminded that it works during the day, they agreed it couldn't be that. After weeks, O once again claiming problem must be in-house.

    Now this morning, I am referred to a 4th person about moving my internet service @Optus

    @jhnmcgnly Optus flying you down here for the friendly John?

  • mudclearly mudclearly 🌸 (@mudclearly) reported

    Don't ask me to use the wonderful Yes @optus app. I was transferred to 5 different people the other night after they prematurely disconnected my internet service.

  • mudclearly mudclearly 🌸 (@mudclearly) reported

    Trying to get an order to move internet (NBN with @Optus) to a new address on a "specific" date. I have dealt with 6 or 7 people in the @Optus app, I've spoken to two people this morning on customer service.

    nbn cuts out at home, optus doesn't work in the inner city, I can't win

  • SMEAustralia SMEA (@SMEAustralia) reported

    How stupid and confusing are the COVID rules in WA. The Eagles game at Optus can have 50% capacity and yet amateur / community footy can’t have spectators. As coaches we need to leave immediately and can’t watch another game. Who makes up this nonsense?!! @MarkMcGowanMP

  • Char871 Char78 (@Char871) reported

    @Optus is there another internet/data outage in 7030? This is happening way too often

  • janiceShelley2 janice Shelley (@janiceShelley2) reported

    @Optus Northern end of Central Coast of NSW still unreliable. Sometimes service available other times “SOS” appears.

    @IanBoniface1 Hi. Sorry to hear that your Optus experience so far has given you a bad impression. I'll mark this as feedback to be reviewed. I can look into helping with your internet, I would just need you to send trough a DM and allow me to verify your details. Thanks, Harrison
