    @LesStonehouse @Optus There is, I think I remember correctly, a period of up to 48 hours where a new service replicates across a WAN (wide area network).

    @JohnCoo51013646 @call_me_tomasso @Leinster_Lad @lesleygood1 @Optus Ah yes, I well remember Telecom and the Post Office, both focused on the customer and delivering quality service.

    @toninicho I am now, seriously, thinking of changing my carrier after years of being with Optus Problem is Telstra cost me a first full money last time I was with them and I dropped Vodaphone over their poor customer service.

    @Optus BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!! I have a very bad experience with this service. I had lost my sim around a month ago, and had ordered a new one. I was told that the sim card would arrive 1-2days and latest in a week.

  • hughmaine1 hughmaine (@hughmaine1) reported

    @Optus Thanks but to confirm... is 2450 affected? There's no sign of outage when I put my address into the checker.

    @gregorerdmann Hi, due to severe weather across parts of NSW, some Optus customers may experience issues with their NBN, mobile call, text and data services. Our Network Team are monitoring to ensure continuity of services & connectivity for customers where possible - Nard

  • JDoug1973 JSpeaks (@JDoug1973) reported

    @Optus realise the east coast rains are causing network outages, but you need to sort your customer service out. Spent 50 mins on hold to report a fault- gave up. Also had two chats with self-service that halted when the chatbot could not find anyone to assign call to. Hopeless.

    This is what gives me the mega-sh*ts. Get multiple calls from this number 03 83580000 a number I don’t recognise and they never leave a voicemail message. I call back out of curiosity and it says “this number is out of service” Telcos know this. @Telstra @Optus @VodafoneAU

  • vivien3721 Vivien Munoz (@vivien3721) reported

    @Optus I replied but it wasn't accepted. Anyway, problem solved via my computer.

  • vivien3721 Vivien Munoz (@vivien3721) reported

    @Optus Stupid Optus that only offers the app to communicate with them. I don't want to install the app!!! Why not Live Chat since you're paying so little $ to those Indian call centres? I only have a simple query.

  • joereidy__ Joe Reidy (@joereidy__) reported

    @Optus worst customer support for a telecommunication company. Have been a client for 10 years but looks like that time may be coming to a close

  • lukasdennis09 Lukas09 (@lukasdennis09) reported

    I have been calling the customer service and they refused to help me with this issue. I went to an Optus Store, and the staff helped me by calling Optus Customer Service and they also refuse to help and reject the call.
