Melanie Jackson (@melaniejackson2) reported@Telstra outage with home internet in daisy hill QLD 4127 since 28/05/2026. No updates still under investigation
-
MATT (@matty_mccabe1) reportedFee 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

Bennyboy1 (@bennyyy_boyyy) reported@Starlink Update: customer care sent me the kit via express post and gave $25 credit. Installation went ahead smoothly as per schedule and very happy so far. No more crap NBN that Telstra put up their prices to $115 per month for 50mbps but my Starlink gives me 100mbps for $75 per month

pirate (@pirate71305695) reported@PaulineHansonOz @Mummymobbsback1 This is not a bad policy. It's pretty good. As long as the people representing the tax payers are legit and not multimillion dollar leeches like we had with Telstra. And also they must be born in Australia. No foreigners to run the taxpayers interests.

💦Lynton G (@charger189) reported@JOKAQARMY1 Telstra in Australia is pushing 6G by 2030 they have been deliberately lowering the bandwidth so people demand a better service
-
SNOOPREY (@SNOOPREY77) reported@Telstra I’m concerned why I was getting 2-3 bars all week in town now I’m at 3-4 I was losing connection to internet and having buffering issues running a speed test now doesn’t answer why I had poor reception throughout the week . That’s not what I’m paying for
-
RochfordAlexAR (@rochfordalexAR) reported@bazingashane0 @Telstra My case manager is lovely. Very polite, very professional. Genuinely wants to help. I can't fault the excellent customer service. Still has piss poor reading comprehension though. I feel sorry for the poor sod, I have twenty years in I.T. and communications, a lot of it
-
Devil's Avocado (@CaptHughBeard) reported@Telstra I'm an Aussie working in the US for a few years. I keep my Aussie mobile account paid for when I come home to visit. Can you please explain how mobile data charges are higher with you in Australia, compared to my US cell service on mobile roaming?
-
enz (@enz2g) reported@joey8bitz @1WeakGuttedDog Using the network doesn’t mean they get the same priority and boost speeds are also capped otherwise there would be no benefit going with Telstra and paying more. I get what you’re trying to say but your comprehension is terrible.
-
Chris Eastaughffe (AZ Vac done) (@Chris_E_Qld_Au) reportedINCOMPETENCE 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
-
Andrew Bott (@ajbott) reported@Telstra your network keeps dropping mobile calls in Lilyfield 2040. This has been going on for 2 weeks... What is happening?
-
JimBobSquarePants 🇺🇦 (@James_M_South) reported@Telstra I have an outage reported via SMS yet no info on the outages site. Peregian Springs. Why?
-
Benwah (@earthmanben) reported@SkullSpeedDeal lots of my mates were over the moon when they got a job with Telecom/Telstra because it was a lifetime secure job but that job security changed as it became more professional (like Allen senior’s electric company it was so unreliable and bad it was a joke)
-
People of Internet (@PeopleOfNet) reportedThe real risk isn't SpaceX leaving — it just launched DtD with Telstra in June 2025. The risk is one MNO-satellite tie-up controlling the entire mobile-satellite layer. The fix: use-it-or-lose-it milestones + open access licence terms.

gee (@lordgeezuz) reported@ruicharadrius My partners father works for Telstra and their internet NEVER WORKS. HOW DO YOU WORK FOR THE BIGGEST INTERNET COMPANY IN AUSTRALIA AND YET YOUR HOME INTERNET DOESNT WORK😭😭😭
-
Harry Snape (@HarryFromSyd) reported@KingstaKingsta1 @craigkellyAFEE Not the Howard garbage again. Keating sold CBA for $8B and spent the money bailing out VIC Labor. CBA is sort $260B and has given $150B in dividends. Howard sold Telstra for $45B (now $52B), used the money to pay off debt and create the future fund, it’s worth $320B
-
SNOOPREY (@SNOOPREY77) reported@Telstra It could be my device needs a restart but it could also be that the service you guys at Telstra actually provide doesn’t match what the sales reps and advertising promise
-
Michael (@MSVLKnight) reported@belinduhpyne @AshPolitik @kazza264 When I worked at Telstra they told us that 40 percent of small businesses didn't survive their first year, After dealing with their billing issues for a decade I wondered how it wasn't 80 precent. No other job requires zero qualifications and has no rules of how to operate.

Mr musk ⭐️🇺🇸🚀 (@Mrmuskh4l5l) reported@c__future6 This is how the whole thing started when I sent $500 for a VIP Telstra Tesla membership card and never got the Tesla I won! That was my fault and now you’re trying to make this my fault I would think two guys working for Elon Musk would be a little bit smarter than this.
-
Chris Pomfret (@CJPomfret) reported@Mac80277103 @JP__75 Howard shifted policies. He said GST would never be part of his Gov’s policies at the ‘98 election, then introduced it in ‘00. He said no Work choices then introduced it. No Telstra same then sold it. This is different to a gov seeing housing get harder so they made a change.

Greg Lark (@Greglark4Lark) reportedJust got an email that my Telstra service is going up in price AGAIN. Time to get on the bandwagon..

samantha 🏳️⚧️ (@Samantha7ey) reported@yuyan497 im also with telstra alongside many other people and i always get reception along that part of the network

Dane Trethowan (@grtdane) reported@OttavioMCMLXI I conversed with Telstra AI the other day to resolve an issue with my account and was pleasantly surprised.

Doctor Vadar Who (@DoctorVadarWho) reported@Telstra when are you going to support RCS for iPhone in Australia because I would like to have it so green bubbles don't mess up group messages @Apple
-
JimBobSquarePants 🇺🇦 (@James_M_South) reported@Telstra Your customer service team are disgusting. They mixed up NBN and Optimcomm and not one person answered a single question I asked. Absolutely disgusting. I want to raise a formal complaint.

ComradeGreen (@GreenComrade) reported@L0Nii210 going to start calling it the Tiktok Entertainment Centre Brought To You By Temu Sponsored by Telstra (with help from The Australian)
