lost my business number and can't activate NBN

[customersupport]

Technical Support, Premium Activation, Premium Activation Supervisor, IT Specialist, and around we go again.  I have eventually been speaking with the supervisor in Premium Activation who told me she has referred my case to IT  Specialist Department and I'd need to wait another 5 business days.  That's today! 🙂 Today I called again and again 😞 after not hearing anything 😞 😞 and my Premium Activation Supervisor who is now obviously as frustrated as I am has been trying to call the so called IT Specialist Department but cannot get a response, she now holds out little hope of fixing my problem but is still trying her best.  Has been 3 weeks of endless phone calls, could be up to 30hrs, with endless loops, transfers to no where, conversation drop outs, customer support forgetting it seems who I was and what we were even talking about. To find out eventually they accidently deactivated instead of relocating my business NBN now I wait....  Do you think this can be resolved or is it wishful thinking?

Has the new location already had NBN hooked up before? Or are you doing it yourself?

If the former then it should be easy for Optus to reactivate the NBN, but if its a new setup then I think they can only request an appointment date from NBNCo which is probably at least a month away.

NBN technician came out 3wks ago, it is all in the activation. The system, I call "Jarvis" won't activate because of multiple exceptions but no one knows what, why, when or how to fix.

Is there really a complaints department at Optus.  I lodged a complaint couple of weeks ago waited no reply,  lodged another waited no reply, lodged another waited no reply, lodged another waited no reply and repeat.

Well I guess it won't help me to complain. My internet is so slow 😕

How did you lodge your complaint? If it was using the electronic for or an email address these seem 50-50 for a response. You should WRITE to the Optus complaints address. Laws are always old fashioned and a written complaint is generally taken seriously.

If you keep logging them, they just keep dropping to the back of the queue. So all your doing is putting multiple requests for the same thing in the queue.

the hard part, often these web forms are abused by people with trivial problems that they simply couldn’t be bothered calling up. Because of their hatred for offshore support etc...

Care to share what happened?

we might be able to give suggestions?

[customersupport]

Thanks.  That makes sense and could definitely be the case but there was no response to start with. 

I would share my problem again but it seems like the information may have been a bit sensative for some and the post was taken down. Didn't contain personal details or offensive language so must have been something else.
