Outage

After the Optus outage, I thought it would be fair to receive a $40 reduction in our next bill which was presented via the Ajust platform. Optus had offered a 250gb data package as compensation but we already have enough data on our plan. I was pleasantly surprised that after the Ajust complaint, I was offered a full month free from Optus. That equates to $165. Great outcome. Thanks to Optus and to Ajust.

Optus got back in touch with me and it's all sorted and money refunded. Thanks for the help
Optus is sneaky when signing up for a phone as tell me they throw in accessories too the value of 249 dollars and once you sign up find out that they are charging you for them

No Service / Outage

The problem at last appears to be fixed. For some time now over the last month I have spent a considerable amount of my valuable time on hold listening to repetitive brain damaging sounds under the guise of ‘waiting music’ usually after 20-30 mins I have to end the call less I receive permanent damage to my hearing, mind and music appreciation. Thanks to your intervention my telco has listened to my complaint, found and resolved the random dropping out of our internet. We are both elderly pensioners and sometimes don’t think the world listens or takes us seriously any more. A goodly part of our pension goes to this Telco each month and their service and ability to listen is just 2nd rate. So to sum up a big thank you to you Tom and Adjust to help us resolve this issue.
