Wouldn't it be a shame if Optus used some of their profits to improve their webmail service. Without a doubt the slowest service I've experienced.
Instead of grumbling I should switch providers because Optus will never get any better.

Terrible customer service on the phone trying to get plan changed.
Getting cut off. Told there is an issue and will call back but they don't.
Rude operators who try to upsell every time you call.

Poor customer service

I was with Optus for 3 years with no issues then they had an outage & my internet stopped. I waited a week for the apparent outage to ve fixed, still no internet. Called them several times, they test my modem, it was fine then they said their end is fine & started blaming me. Asking them to help me ended in silence. 2 weeks of no internet & they flat out stopped helping me. I cancelled my plan. Never again will I waste my time.

If only there were an option for zero…

If only there were an option for zero stars. Have had webmail email address for our business for over 20 years. It was a little sluggish, we had to constantly be deleting stuff so as to not go over quota & had to pay - but with 20 years of history it was easy for past clients to find us. Until this March when suddenly our email was locked. A week later - after several complaints- it was finally escalated to supervisor & unlocked. Complaint resolved - or not. Every 2 weeks without fail we would be locked our of our emails whilst in the middle of answering them & each time would take over 2 weeks to resolve. We were given all sorts of excuses, with the latest being that our email was on dark Web & sending spam so we are once again on their 'abuse' status & locked out. Says a lot about their security, there is ZERO customer service & now literally costing us money & clients. Ironically, our Gmail & big pond emails are fine & Gmail has loafs more storage plus it's free!

optus has taken my phoen in repairs the store sent of the phone and advised 5-7 days i then waited over the weekend and then jumped online because i had no phone to call ( they had it in repairs apparently) online team had then had no idea what my BASC number was and no one knew where the phone was i called the store insuance team they told me store never sent it by then furious they then called the store. to only find out its 10 days for deliver from when i sent the device...
left it again over another weekend and then called the monday agent carlos also then advised me 10 - 15 days ... as i said no one knows what they're doing or how long your device will be sent back it changes everytime you call and you get hand balld to every agent, i think i have spoken to every agent in every country and every call centre. shocking disgusting service. Given this is meant to be optus.

Optus (Australia) cable broadband billing and service FAIL

I've been unhappy with the service from this company of late. I've had cable broadband with them for15+ years. I was paying more than $100 for 200 Gb month to month internet and phone plan. I never run out the service was mostly reliable. No complaints.

May17 they moved me to an unlimited plan and charged me less ($60) - NBN pricing. Aside from the fact that it took until August (another call to effect the plan but they compensated me for overcharging 2mths).

By December things turned bad. I started getting warnings about usage. I ignored them because I was paying for an unlimited plan, but on Christmas eve I was throttled at 50Gb. Sure enough their MyAccount Web interface told me I was on a 50Gb plan and I had exceeded my plan. I checked my bills and confirmed that I was paying for unlimited. I tried getting through for 3 days. There was no support. When I finally got through they confirmed that I was paying for unlimited but the MyAccount setting indicated I was on a different plan. They gave me a couple of Gb. I ran out. I called again. Eventually my billing cycle reset. I was determined to sort it out, but their service just continued to suck. I logged 17 phone calls (20+ hours) or online chat over 30 days. The same dialogue every time. I ran out. They gave me a little. I ran out. I escalated it (or tried). No solution. How hard could it be. I received an email apology saying they would sort out in 4 working days (not including the Australia day weekend) and someone would follow up with me. No one did. My billing cycle reset in Feb18. I used 50Gb in 10 days. More calls. They all try to be nice. They said they would fix and give me unlimited but I've run out again before the end of Feb. Called again. I'm still waiting for faster speeds. The agent I spoke to today said allow 24hrs and they promised me follow up on Monday (2 days)

How hard could it be to put me on the right plan? How did I get on the wrong plan when I hadn't changed it in December and was doing on average 110Gb/mths Aug Nov.

Its been two months of apologies and passing between billing and support. I will need to find another provider. The problem is there is only Optus to the building. No phone line. Telstra didn't want to connect me although cable is to the pole outside. No NBN in the area. No copper to my unit to revert to ADSL.

I've lodged two complaints with the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (the first expired).

The problem was eventually resolved after nearly 3 months, dozens of calls or online chats, and hours and hours of my time
