Telstra Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Conrad (@SdadMyself) reported@SkyNewsAust Every business contributes tax revenue to the government, and extending the licence ‘could’ help raise additional funds. Will this create more jobs, or lead to layoffs like we’ve seen at Telstra and the big four banks, taking into consideration in the current climate?
-
King Neptune73 (@bartoni73) reported@Telstra @NBN_Australia when is my internet going to be fixed? I have been awaiting resolution of the issue since March 3, 2026. I have had 6 appointments cancelled because you allege you fixed it remotely! That’s BS!😡😡😡😡
-
HonkyTonkyHawks (@HonkyTonkyHawks) reported@mjonc43 @tommorris32 Telstra and champion data don’t control the cameras at the ground you ******* idiot.

Ke Y (@KeY094795550771) reported@grok @DanBig9953 @grok I don't know what Telstra or spacex event. I don't follow much about that event, I don't drive, never have a driver licence, pay little attention to cars
-
Elizabeth Blackwell (@EBlackwell6280) reported@twoshedslegit @angelar68197975 They sold commercial businesses, not core sovereign functions, worth around $72 billion, including Telstra, the Commonwealth Bank, airports, and rail assets. I thought selling the airports and rail assets was a mistake. At the time they were losing money, so a long-term lease arrangement might have been a better approach than outright sale. That said, it was hardly a “Thatcherite disaster.” In many cases privatisation improved efficiency and competition, telecommunications being a clear example. Critics often highlight the lost future dividends, but overlook the massive debt reduction, the interest savings, and the fact that governments are generally poor at running commercial operations. .

Dr Angeline Brasier 💜 (@AngelineBrasier) reported@merkin_about its when online security works against the very elderly and their carers. we had this trouble with Telstra. they kept texting a security code to a number that wasn't our's. Mum didn't understand ended up having to get the ombudsman involved.
-
AL (@asewell6) reported@Optus what disgraceful experience. Into the second day of trying to upgrade my internet. @Telstra do you want a new customer?
-
Trev (@Trev__Says) reported@2D_laSol @arbsmichael I blame these 2 vile **** ***** They sold off everything that was not nailed down in a once off fire sale so that no govt for 20 years was able to balance a budget Telstra, CBA, the airports, our gold all gone These grubs should be in jail
-
At least my dog loves me ❤️🐕👩🏻🦰 (@Tawnee69) reported@goldengreekjr @AshPolitik As PM, John Howard spearheaded a major privatization program, selling $71.8 billion in government assets between 1996 & 2007 to pay down national debt. Significant holdings sold included a majority stake in Telstra, shares in airports, shipping lines, and defence-related industry
-
Reverse Brain (@WLMOS85) reported@Telstra lost Signal 🙄😪🤔
-
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.
-
TaxFodder (@Coldhardface) reported@belinduhpyne There was little left to sell after Hawke and Keating sold federal and state assets in their Privatisation rampage. Key assets sold under the Hawke government included: The Commonwealth Bank of Australia Qantas Telstra CSL These sales were part of a broader strategy that also involved floating the Australian dollar, deregulating financial markets, and dismantling the tariff system. While critics argued this abandoned traditional Labor values and contributed to issues like increased household debt, supporters view these reforms as essential modernizations that 'strengthened' the Australian economy. We're real strong now eh?
-
Jumbarrawa (@jumbarrawa) reported@SocialPiranha3 @Telstra They sell chunks of lines to other companies that sell the lines cheaper. and offer better service how is that possible >
-
Michael Pearce (Westie) (@WestCoast4Life0) reported@AFL @Telstra WTF is this bullshit 😒
-
Aquis_GN 📱🤖 smartphone/android vtuber (@Aquis_GN) reported@thesamuelnam Where was it imported from? Try using Vodafone or telstra it might help
-
Will G (@willgotsis) reported@Gatty54 Same thing happened to us few years ago. Telstra, JB Hi-Fi, lucky it was all at like 3am and our bank put a hold on our card (debit card). We found out it was a girl in reception at a hotel we paid for. We confirmed details with her of card over phone. Never again. Ours was $9K.
-
Jonny17bgood (@Jonny17bgood1) reported@__amyylouise Never go past Telstra not worth saving a lousy buck and compromising
-
JW (@Judyw561) reported@AlanBixter @Telstra But it barely gives our public transport issues a run for the money.
-
Nelly choppa (@NellyChopp21984) reported@youngpac775 @omowereyso I don’t mean Tesla car, I mean her telecom/ network provider just like mtn, in Australia the use Telstra and some others
-
Dominic Villa SC (@DominicVillaSC) reported@dowhatonemustdo @Telstra I was on a plane so couldn't use that service. But having been told it was either because of my plan or because of my modem, they then said they could just activate it at their end...which they could have done 4 hours ago
-
Pat Fenis (@BigStrawDog) reported@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
-
The InfraDev (@theinfradev) reported@malimber01 @robb_j_m What are you talking about. The NBN was created from nothing and only cost so much in the end because it was saddled with Telstra's **** copper infra by the libs and had to essentially build it twice.
-
john west (@johnw200) reported@Telstra Yes with one bar it does. Do i need have anything turned on my account for telstra satellite messages when does it ment start up no signal or low signal John
-
Natasha (@Natasha19317558) reported@AlanBixter @Telstra I betcha Malcolm Turnbull doesn’t have any internet problems. Didn’t Turnbull 🎩downgrade us plebs from fibre to the node to copper in our gutter?
-
Hamish (@reach_hamish) reported@GusLefty @arbsmichael And privatising Telstra to safeguard superannuation is a problem why? PLUS, he did election on the GST as a reform he wanted to inttroduce in 1998. The GST never happening was a 96 promise. But 98 he did say it would.
-
Dave Jones (@eevblog) reported@asphotos Science isn't going to help when the system is clogged because the NBN is down and many thousands of people are trying to find workarounds. Telstra in the park has collapsed, and Optus is struggling.
-
KCC - Kuranda Community Council (@KccKuranda) reported@robb_j_m $94.00 a month and we have trouble with the stream every time we watch a live NRL game...and we live on the main street of town. Telstra in case you were wondering...
-
RochfordAlexAR (@rochfordalexAR) reported@bazingashane0 @Telstra Can't register as a business account cause don't have an ABN. case manager is trying to address my complaint by setting up an onsite technician. . . . To address what is essentially a contract dispute. Onsite tech won't be able to do jack for me on Monday, unless he can
-
SNOOPREY (@SNOOPREY77) reported@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
