    @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.

  • Granville4879 Granville#AussieResister (@Granville4879) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    @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).

  • Granville4879 💉💉💉 Granville in FNQ 😷 (@Granville4879) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    @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.

    @jordan732 Yes, Jordan you need to opt for the endless data option via the Optus app itself by navigating into Service > Extra > Manage Data. Kartik

  • NewcastleGardia ☂ Newcastle Guardian🇦🇺 (@NewcastleGardia) reported

    @LisaMic75251596 @InnesKay THAT Optus one has been the rounds for sometime now. There's also a very real looking active "PayPal" email. NEVER answer anything like this, unless they have you full/correct name, and even then think twice. Scams mostly address dear user or similar.

  • LusciousLani Ms Banani (@LusciousLani) reported

    So @optus customer service is completely up the toilet these days. That messaging service can die in a fire.

  • Sirr_Grant Sir Grant (@Sirr_Grant) reported

    @Optus what the heck is wrong with your help desk. 2 1/2 hours online with no resolve. Unable to contact a 'real' person at Optus to talk live regarding issue. Web page not working correctly either. #fail. #complaint I am a customer - you have my details - CALL ME !

  • nickbrne Nick (@nickbrne) reported

    @Optus It's especially not great for those patients either....the unreliable service delaying medical care is very concerning

  • missxhuntress Jaz🎄 (@missxhuntress) reported

    Hey @Optus our internet has gone down...again, yet the NBN says there’s no issues in the area. Rebooted the modem and that hasn’t fixed the issue.

  • LusciousLani Ms Banani (@LusciousLani) reported

    @Optus Hi George. I’m still waiting on a call back from your call centre team from 3 days ago, and your messaging service told me I cam continue to wait for another 5-7 days. If you think you can do better, feel free to DM me.

  • supermario200 SluggerMuz (@supermario200) reported

    @Optus Why is there such major throttling down of upload speeds on your NBN tonight?? I am getting 2.05mb/s when i should be getting around 18 - 20 mb/s Optus support were meant to monitor and call me back, but i have heard nothing from them.

  • ElizaBorrello Eliza Borrello (@ElizaBorrello) reported

    @RachelPupazzoni @Optus Hey Rach, I had this too recently. They fixed my issue via the messaging app. (Ie it wasn’t thw tower after all). Might be worth giving it a go?

  • BellaAmbrosia The Rachet Queen of the West (@BellaAmbrosia) reported

    Hey @Optus Want to explain why partners last name in his app is wrong but bill is correct. And he is told to fax or mail a form to correct ur error? Then a manager calls back to reiterate that yes there is an issue to fill out change of name? 1/2
