Optus lack of service

[JJL]

I am bitterly disappointed with the service and support Optus provides. I have recently opened an NBN account after 14 years subscribing to an ADSL Optus service.

The NBN experience has been awful. I'm in Melbourne's inner north. The service keeps dropping out and the service speeds have rarely been near the speed I am paying for. Has anyone else had this experience?

Also their telephone support is appalling. OK once you actually speak to someone (after waiting for an hour) I lost connection, break in service, and couldn't face calling them again.

As for the Optus website, it's clunky, unresponsiveand and expands the lack of customer experience. To add insult to injury, when I tried to use the online chat, guess what, it was busy.

For a telecommunications company this is really bad form. I'm going to cancel my subscription, if I can manage to find the department and switch to another provider. Am even considering Telstra. 

Optus, do you hate your cunstomer? What are you selling a service you cannot provide ?(Another name for that is stealing). And what do you consider customer support? because what you are currently providing is 3rd rate. SHAME.

I too have experienced appalling customer service and can understand your sentiment. I give Optus 1 out of 10 for customer service. I would contact the Telecommunications Ombudsman, especially if Optus is not providing you with adequate opportunity to resolve your complaints.

Just a heads up kiwiandrew as per the red advisory message on the right when you posted your question that we don't have access to or visibility of customer accounts here on our public forum.

If for some reason you’re unable to use the App to message Optus, if you have a social media account, please then send a PM to Optus on Facebookor a DM on Twitterwith the details mentioning you can't use the My Optus app.
