  • Send_Me_Lolis DM me lolis (@Send_Me_Lolis) reported

    @meatmatoy Telstra is one of the two major ISPs we have here in Australia (the other being optus). Both of them are pretty ****. I'm with a smaller ISP and things seem to be fine now though.

  • Icefnt Ice (@Icefnt) reported

    @OvertGGs @Telstra My internet disconnects me every tournament, which is stopping me and my trio from placing, this has been a problem for me for months now and is a problem that requires immediate attention

  • mi1ez Miles Dyson (@mi1ez) reported

    @Telstra Made an order from the rewards store, selected home address and didn't realise till the confirmation email came through that there was no house number. Contacted support, told me to wait 24hrs. Contacted again 20hrs later and was told it was too late, to contact Startrack...

  • Snowfnt_ GLM Snow (@Snowfnt_) reported

    @Sznnyz @Telstra yes why u think precks and **** were gonna drop me, my net cuts out mid every tourney, legit did it in heats lmao

  • Sheoakbloke1 Sheoakbloke (@Sheoakbloke1) reported

    @Telstra Because, for most of it, you've been a government owned communication network created for that purpose & with a statutory obligation to do so?

  • paficlefnt paf (@paficlefnt) reported

    @OvertGGs @Telstra nbn sucks, get better net

  • mi1ez Miles Dyson (@mi1ez) reported

    @Telstra Startrack told me Telstra had to do it. Told me the business solutions team sorts these requests and gave me a reference. Went back to Telstra support and was told by the agent they are the Telstra Expert and refused to even entertain the idea someone else could do it...

  • RoninOCE Chris (@RoninOCE) reported

    @Telstra Nah mate still on backup, as I said it went down around 6PM out of no-where.

  • highavfx higha (@highavfx) reported

    @OvertGGs @Telstra My internet is having problems with lag spikes when I'm editing and simply watching YouTube. could you please help me?

  • AbstaAU SFR Absta (@AbstaAU) reported

    @OvertGGs @Telstra my internet keeps spiking. Any chance you can fix it?

  • JamesBromberger James Bromberger (@JamesBromberger) reported

    TIL: the @telstra pre-pay for mobile hotspots deactivates your acct after a few months of idle. Then the firewalled service permitted after that, which should let cust sign in & recharge (pay) depends upon web assets that are FIREWALLED, so breaks. So customers can't pay!

  • Geo0lol Leo (Geo) (@Geo0lol) reported

    @OvertGGs @Telstra my internet stopped working suddenly can you help?

  • Moitrixx Moitrix (@Moitrixx) reported

    @OvertGGs @Telstra i need some help with my internet

  • mi1ez Miles Dyson (@mi1ez) reported

    @Telstra Contacted support again hoping for someone less stubborn, was told the address was correct despite Startrack confirming there was no house number. Was then told the delivery driver would call or the item would be returned. This agent also didn't escalate...

  • idkkname12 who needs names (@idkkname12) reported

    @Telstra internet bad no work help

  • KevinSw92208498 Kevin *fully_patched* Sweeney (@KevinSw92208498) reported

    @Telstra But it took three days to get them to recognise that the issue had to be escalated. The way MyTelstra apps works in regards to support, could mean that you get bounced from tech to tech, adding to the delay. Been a horrible experience...

  • marto_80 Marto (@marto_80) reported

    @Telstra Correct - a very poor flaw. If I had of known I would have not ordered them from Telstra. Most direct debit autopay systems can be changed by a few days - why not Telstra's?

  • FrostbiteAU Frosty (@FrostbiteAU) reported

    @OvertGGs @Telstra Pls help

  • agronomy_sharon Sharon Single (O’Keeffe) (@agronomy_sharon) reported

    @MartinMurray_Ag @peters_malcolm Yes - Telstra will finish switch off 3G bandwidth by 2024, they are on record as saying they will upgrade the current coverage area to 4G/4GX - the issue will be as people move to 4GX they are likely to download more which will reduce yield for those further at from the tower.

  • KevinSw92208498 Kevin *fully_patched* Sweeney (@KevinSw92208498) reported

    @Telstra The issue evolved and the techs were slow to realise and where unwilling to move off the cheat sheet. One did a monitor test on a non-existing (dead) connection which wasted 24-hours. I would not recommend the app if the issue could be complex.

  • mi1ez Miles Dyson (@mi1ez) reported

    @Telstra So despite me contacting you within 15 mins of placing the order, the address was never updated and I'm probably not going to receive my item.

  • ICNKyle Iconic | Kyle (@ICNKyle) reported

    @OvertGGs @Telstra my internet keeps spiking, how can I help this?

  • Snowfnt_ GLM Snow (@Snowfnt_) reported

    @Telstra There are no interruptions. My Internet is fine (Speeds & ping), the only problem is that it disconnects at random times throughout the day, we have been told that it is being monitored but nothing has been changed, neither have we received any information about it for months now

  • m_nomore Martin Molesworth (@m_nomore) reported

    Telstra you are a joke no support to fix Samsung S21 issues. This has been going in fir 5 weeks.

  • DarylJohnsonAu Daryl Johnson (@DarylJohnsonAu) reported

    @Telstra Perhaps you could look at improving customer service.

  • LGunsOCE LGuns (@LGunsOCE) reported

    @OvertGGs @Telstra my internet aint working please help

  • nbnouttage Nbn-Outtage (@nbnouttage) reported

    Hey @Telstra why do I have to restart both my telstra TV multiple times a day just to connect them to the internet? None of my other devices have this issue just your ****** ******* TV's

  • elee_bella Ella Lee (@elee_bella) reported

    @baoyusi @_PhilipCummins @Rowena_SW I’ve been with Optus for years, and only started having issues at my last apartment. Telstra seem like my only option for my phone, because they offer the best reception, but I hate the idea of giving them my business and they are much more exp. I don’t know that I have a choice.
