    @Telstra Let me lay it out for you Ryan, I cancelled my internet because it was terrible and you did nothing about it, just the usual "we will monitor the connection" spiel. So I cancelled, and you continued charging me for 6 months without my knowledge, not even a monthly bill. Then this

  • Chris71367434 dagrimgamer43 (@Chris71367434) reported

    @xMdbMatt @DarkViperAU @Telstra It won't help at all for the use case, because I don't think they're portable

  • garethrhughes Gareth Hughes (@garethrhughes) reported

    Today I tried to setup my new S22 by transferring my Telstra eSim, didn't work at all. Their support were quite unhelpful. After multiple issues with them over the years I just gave up and moved to optus. That didn't work either. Their support was slightly less terrible

  • AaronB1994 Aaron Brookes (@AaronB1994) reported

    @DarkViperAU @Telstra That sucks. At least as you mentioned, they actually admitted it. Is there any chance you might get a discount due to that?

  • lilac_kthv Ⓥ𝖒𝖞⁷ 🏳️‍🌈 (@lilac_kthv) reported

    honestly never had issues with Boost, Telstra or even Felix… it’s always been voda ******* fone

  • garethrhughes Gareth Hughes (@garethrhughes) reported

    @Telstra Was given the helpful advice of "try again later" and reply back in 24 hours if it still doesn't work. Will be cancelling my account if it doesn't work by that point.

  • VascularSurg247 Simon Vun (@VascularSurg247) reported

    @Telstra do you have a service similar to @Optus Loop for business?

  • Creamy_VR Creamy (@Creamy_VR) reported

    @DarkViperAU @Telstra Oof Telstra? that a rip, we used to be with telstra but they were never helpful with support and basically told us to f off. So we switched.

  • RealMattStedman Matt Stedman (@RealMattStedman) reported

    @Telstra It’s 6330 - there is a reported outage - we are 2 days into our second multi day outage in a few weeks - it was 6 days the other week and it’s not looking much better this time.

  • SeeBigg Christian AF ✌🏻 (@SeeBigg) reported

    I call it, 'Ode to tech. Restart my modem Once again the net is down God I love @Telstra #Haiku #FirstWorldProblems

  • xMdbMatt xMdb؜ (@xMdbMatt) reported

    @DarkViperAU @Telstra Use a signal repeater

  • coolguy69666 Grad Cert Kitty (@coolguy69666) reported

    @hazchem Haaaaaahahahaha oh my god. I very long time ago I worked in a Telstra call centre and we had 8 different programs to do customer service and billing with. Clearly they have not only ignored that issue, they have made it WORSE with ****** training

  • YishOCE YISH || 黄 奕 翔 (@YishOCE) reported

    @Zuper_OCE ye Telstra sucks man

  • DMason53 Dyl (@DMason53) reported

    @Telstra Need to speak to someone about connecting an NBN service. It won’t let me call through the app which is meant to be faster and gets priority. Waiting absurd amounts of time on hold.

  • garethrhughes Gareth Hughes (@garethrhughes) reported

    I've used @Telstra for at least 7 years at this point and I've never once done a phone transfer, contract upgrade, replacement, anything without it just failing. Just waiting to see how me transferring eSIM will end up with them sending debt collectors after me again.

  • LorshZontek ً Lorsh (@LorshZontek) reported

    @DarkViperAU @Telstra Damn, no capybara live stream now, that sucks

  • GeckoIce IceGecko (@GeckoIce) reported

    @Telstra 2. I contacted you the first time you sent me this notice almost 2 years ago now and was told I had to pay it, no if's and's or but's. I contacted the TCO and they told you to leave me alone, yet you continue to send me these notices, so I continue to post them. I'll never pay.

  • ArskinF Arskin Fertrubble, #sewerrat (Rattus Uhlmannus) (@ArskinF) reported

    @erfbeeass I suspect you're dealing with a bot, probably programmed to ignore "nuisance" customers. I've had similar with Telstra and Origin. What started out as a polite inquiry rapidly deteriorated when it became clear I was dealing with bots that couldn't help. They no longer respond.

  • afoozle mAtari 1040STfm (@afoozle) reported

    Hey @Telstra what's your plan to deal with phone call spam on your network? It’s getting to the point I’ll have to just block all inbound calls they’re so frequent

  • Ozsilentmajori1 Oz@silentmajority (@Ozsilentmajori1) reported

    @Telstra I rang today to compalin about the appointment and either the agent hung up or I was cut-off. No reason, no call back. I can use my mobile Hotspot. But the Telstra modem and connection issue needs to be addressed and how can I be sure I dont waste another day?

  • RyleeUSA2022 Rylee Downunder AKA Crazy Dog Lady (@RyleeUSA2022) reported

    @bratat22 Loads, 2 the point that Ive considered changing my #. I think whenever u put ur # down on a form other than a kind of official Govt form, companies sell ur info off eg competitions & the like.Telstra flags it as potential spam when it lights up my ph but still bloody annoying AF

  • DarkViperAU DarkViperAU (@DarkViperAU) reported

    Just an update on the @Telstra issues. They are the first provider to admit I'm in a low coverage area, and that I will be screwed for at least the next year. Nothing can be done, and no other provider will be better. I respect them for saying so, as everyone else just lied to me

  • PaulHenry524 Google it mate! 🙄 💉 (@PaulHenry524) reported

    Cursèd @telstra. Day 13 sans NBN / internet. Each day or so I go onto Chat and we go through modem power offs, resets. Endless merry go rounds. My guess is a tech visit will be the only solution. But we’re about to head into week 3. The data top ups via the modem sim are …

  • Ozsilentmajori1 Oz@silentmajority (@Ozsilentmajori1) reported

    @Telstra I have the modem but it is offline and this is the issue.

  • Ozsilentmajori1 Oz@silentmajority (@Ozsilentmajori1) reported

    Four days without Bigpond internet. Telstra tells me to be home between 12-4pm Monday. Friendly reminder follow-up on Sunday to make sure I will be home. 4pm Monday, Telstra advise, sorry, need to change service date to Wednesday between 12-4. Am I angry!!!!!!!

  • hazchem Tired and tired of being tired (@hazchem) reported

    Oh good here I am repeating myself to Telstra mobile second level support AGAIN. Take/read the notes on my case you muppets.

  • gstacey marinka stacey (@gstacey) reported

    @Cyclops_Trader @Telstra When I moved, I switched from Telstra to Aussie broadband. It’s a hassle but I’ve Never looked back. Telstra was doing my head In.

  • notheotherjen 𝐉𝐞𝐧 (@notheotherjen) reported

    Omg Telstra, frustrating the **** out of people since 1975.

  • GeckoIce IceGecko (@GeckoIce) reported

    @Telstra Was not sold yet, it was two years ago Ryan. Also said the ombudsman told you to back off. I will not jump through hoops for you any more. Keep sending them, I care not, I will never pay it, there is nothing telstra can do about it, and I enjoy posting them. Take care.

  • RealMattStedman Matt Stedman (@RealMattStedman) reported

    @Telstra It's broken again, 2 days down so far and now the 4G backup has crapped out. Help please!
