Optus will pay $1.5 million after Consumer Watchdog found the company pressured customers to move to the NBN sooner than required.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission in December launched court proceedings against Optus after they urged people to move to the NBN before the telco was allowed to cancel the services.
The ACCC also alleged that Optus mislead customers about NBN purchasing options by creating impressions they were required to buy services from the telco when they could’ve chosen any service provider.
