Optus Complaints
The best way to resolve complaints with Optus
Optus is one of Australia's biggest telcos, with the 2nd largest market share for mobile services and the 3rd largest for NBN services. Optus is not always easy to deal with for complaints. Optus can respond slowly to complaints and sometimes it takes more effort to get a resolution. Optus had almost 20% of ombudsman complaints in 2021-22.
