    @kai_h @algorithmsayshi Tried this, it has us located in Sydney for some reason. While the modem was updating the DNS it restarted and my phone connected back to our old Telstra net which had us accurately located in Victoria. Def AGL/eero issue from troubleshooting

    INCOMPETENCE of Telstra knows no bounds! There is a "ringer" problem across Telstra network with copper landlines (exchange problem). They have marked it is FIXED to HIDE the absolute stuff up. I made a complaint about the LIES, INCOMPETENCE; FUCKWITS sent someone to test my line

    Fee for no service. Why does @Telstra get away with charging you for a service that they don’t provide. Second month in a row, the internet goes down for several days. They waste 3 hours of your time blaming you, and the modem, before they check the network. #telstra

    @Telstra lost Signal 🙄😪🤔

    @robb_j_m LNP stopped the original rollout of a national fiber network to buy back the copper network from telstra they sold to telstra in the 90s in an utterly deranged move that blew out costs and rollout time..

    Has Telstra mobile been dog **** for anyone else in Sydney recently? Just tons more black spots of no coverage on 5g?

    @Dycbf1 The redeeming thing about them being on the telstra network and and being cheap

    @Telstra Actually it’s more like 2-3 bars reception at the moment but the issues weren’t from today it was through the week

  • BigStrawDog
    Pat Fenis (@BigStrawDog) reported

    @kai_h @algorithmsayshi Thinking either the eero modems have a built in VPN I cannot locate n disable or the router detecting Telstra AND AGL is causing it to not trust our IP. Also unsure why NBA would care if we are in Syd or melb as far as licensing issues as it's the same market. Frustrating.

    @Telstra no internet or 5g in my area since very early Saturday morning, called up support and your support doesn’t even know there is a problem and can’t give general timeframe for a fix, beyond a joke @Optus might be getting some new customers very soon

  • PhilippaASmith
    Philippa Smith (@PhilippaASmith) reported

    @Lindajwil @Telstra Sorry to hear you are experiencing issues Linda. Organisations have so little consideration for customers and it is unacceptable when, like you, they are having to deal with so much.

    @JayJay1094727 @AlanBixter @Telstra No. They come out and fix it.

    ai isn't as scary as the blind trust some people have of whatever ai-tainted search result sits at the top of the page. this guy at the telstra shop tried to tell me an 11 digit number starting with 1888 was the boost support number. we don't have phone numbers that long.

    I need to find a new bank in Qld. Any recommendations. I also need Skylab...internet access is so bad...much as I hate. I also need new phone...Telstra are worse than Optus... Any recommendations for CQld.

    @katsukisparkles the problem is telstra wont let us and we dont wanna switch because they own our phone numbers and it sucks to change numbers on everything

  • Ballzzzz16
    Jayden (@Ballzzzz16) reported

    @Telstra @Optus So you’re no help either, will be cancelling all Telstra plans and moving to Optus in the morning

    It’s funny how Telstra has never really rebranded despite their logo, looking like it was made using Microsoft paint.

    @pelli_69 @Optus @Telstra I was with them for years, then went straight to Aussie Broadband! One of the many benefits is that it has Aussie call centres & tech support.

    Jimmy James (@sandmanute) reported

    @Adam_and_EVs Mate you don’t listen. I have no other choice. It’s fast, reliable and simple to set up. My alternative is standing in a corner of paddock trying to get one bar of service on a phone. In the real world it’s so much better than any of the crap Telstra tried to get to work.

    @Telstra your network keeps dropping mobile calls in Lilyfield 2040. This has been going on for 2 weeks... What is happening?

    @connectgurmeet Hi @connectgurmeet :2/2 Even though Telstra cars do fail and however, we are country of people,gets fachinated by things that are done by west and not appreciatethe efforts put in by our own entreprenuers.

    @FOXFOOTY can we have subtitles or the Telstra interpreter service with this commentary?

  • popgomouse
    澳洲袋鼠 🇦🇺🦘 (@popgomouse) reported

    @BlairPring81213 @cjoye When Howard partially privatised Telstra, it retained the countrywide copper landline backbone, a network monopoly. All telcos and ISPs needed to connect to Telstra landline. Telstra usually took a long time to find the keys to exchanges when other telcos asked to connect. 3/8

    Physically walked in to a @Telstra store to buy the new modem and they literally would not let me buy it. I have to ring up and enquire about it. What kind of system is that? You have the modem on display. It's in stock. I want to buy it. I'm a decade long customer! Joke

  • rochfordalexAR
    RochfordAlexAR (@rochfordalexAR) reported

    Do I need to be an ABN holder or otherwise registered as a business to try one of @Telstra 's business internet plans? If I try a business internet plan, is it going to mess up my residential phone service? Would I be forced to replace my modem?
