    @Telstra When MY circumstances change, I call you & discuss it. But when a customer has always paid his 2 mobile phones & NBN accounts on time, in full, you nonetheless tell that customer you don’t trust them. I don’t mind the credit check. I mind being treated like a baby.

  • Cat41968 Cat. Just Cat. (@Cat41968) reported

    @Telstra This has been an ongoing issue since early July, coincided with data limits being raised. (Was 80gig limit, now 180limit)

  • sydneymediagirl Sydneymediagirl (@sydneymediagirl) reported

    @Telstra That is absolutely useless! Calling yet again for the tenth time in two weeks and nothing gets sorted. Dont' bother you are clearly no help at all.

  • sydneymediagirl Sydneymediagirl (@sydneymediagirl) reported

    @Telstra So bugger off and stop trying to pretend you're helping when you're absolutely no help at all.

  • tezzyxoxo Terry (@tezzyxoxo) reported

    Oh geez the wifi and mobile service is horrible in point cook @Telstra 😭😭

  • DarkViperAU DarkViperAU (@DarkViperAU) reported

    @WhippyNotPoopy @Aussie_BB @Telstra I have them for my NBN and they have been largely good. Vodafone, Telstra and Optus claim to cover here. Vodafone and Telstra give 1 bar. Aussie BB uses Optus' network so it seemed worth trying. I am just staggered how bad Telstra is with sim card activation.

  • WhippyNotPoopy Whippy 🇦🇺 (@WhippyNotPoopy) reported

    @DarkViperAU @Aussie_BB @Telstra Aussie BB has been reliable as a business and residential network provider but im unsure of their cell network, no one else covers your area?

  • sydneymediagirl Sydneymediagirl (@sydneymediagirl) reported

    Ok @Telstra is officially the worst customer service ever! I've been hung up on today she refused to put me thru to supervisor & now I"ve been Twitter hung up on. Nearly 2 weeks & still they can't activate my sim. MEans I have no mobile for work! They couldn't care less

  • WhippyNotPoopy Whippy 🇦🇺 (@WhippyNotPoopy) reported

    @DarkViperAU @Aussie_BB @Telstra I just moved house and Optus says I have 4G here but I legit have SOS as my only option. I find Optus to have an inaccurate cell map if you're relying on that but if everyone else has **** reception then nothing to lose trying them

  • sydneymediagirl Sydneymediagirl (@sydneymediagirl) reported

    @Telstra Why is it so incredibly hard, impossible, to get help from you @telstra?! And why are your consultants so useless?

  • Josh_B_Rosner Josh 👨‍👨‍👧 🌈 ✡️ (@Josh_B_Rosner) reported

    So @Apple no longer includes a charger with new phones, & @Telstra forces customers to pay ONLY via direct debit on a fixed date, removing customer control, ownership, & ability to budget. Owning a phone that will cease working in 2 years is a **** show.

  • 73J2500 Less ***** More Tonk (@73J2500) reported

    @DarkViperAU @Telstra Theyre somehow Australia's largest by market share, and the service is that bad? I won't complain about American service ever again haha.

  • Cat41968 Cat. Just Cat. (@Cat41968) reported

    @Telstra having a major issue with 5g speed ever since data plan has been increased. Why has the quality dropped so significantly? This is not adequate. Am definitely in a 5g coverage area. Please advise!

  • About_32_Ninjas Galahad (@About_32_Ninjas) reported

    @DarkViperAU @Telstra At this point it’d probably be more viable for you to start your own broadband network

  • sydneymediagirl Sydneymediagirl (@sydneymediagirl) reported

    So now I'm on hold yet again for the 10th time to @Telstra the most useless organisation ever. When I moved to Optus it took them 48 hours to connect. Telstra its been nearly two weeks and no connection. They couldn't give a ****.

  • sydneymediagirl Sydneymediagirl (@sydneymediagirl) reported

    @Telstra I've done this already! I'm on the phone yet again trying to get help. I have no mobile!!!!!

  • Cat41968 Cat. Just Cat. (@Cat41968) reported

    @Telstra "Get Help" refuses to connect, will message.

  • PeterJamesRoth6 Peter James Rothe (@PeterJamesRoth6) reported

    Bit the bullet. Tried 2 different providers - Telstra the cheapest and worst coverage. Optus dearest but almost 0 dropouts. Try playing poker online you bet and win but missed whether they folded or u hit the flush! Optus buying whole year at once is cheaper than Telstra

  • sydneymediagirl Sydneymediagirl (@sydneymediagirl) reported

    @Telstra Your useless bad attitude consultant just hung up on me~

  • SimonWa91937898 Fireball444 (@SimonWa91937898) reported

    Hi @Telstra please fix the payment gateway in your app. It is not working again.

  • dittoronaldo Ditto 🐝 (@dittoronaldo) reported

    @DarkViperAU @Telstra Try do some reset network settings on your phone and see if that helps..

  • HeathenRiffster The Riffster (@HeathenRiffster) reported

    @Telstra I've got no mobile coverage in Bulli NSW since 2:50PM. Is there a known problem?

  • Jebus3211 71st Jebus | Jebus 7 (@Jebus3211) reported

    @DarkViperAU @Telstra Telstra consumer grade plans are by far the biggest **** storm I've ever dealt with. I feel for you brother.

  • kregginz Kregginz 🇮🇹 | Ram lover | 7 days for bday!!! (@kregginz) reported

    @DarkViperAU @Telstra I had problem myself with these kinds of things here in italy It's just as bad

  • LalSiri Lals (@LalSiri) reported

    @NBN_Australia Have been on the phone to few different Telstra operators since this morning. Apparently @NBN_Australia is cancelling our appointment with them stating our internet is working. It’s NOT working.

  • Cat41968 Cat. Just Cat. (@Cat41968) reported

    @Telstra Attempting to connect through app on the "get help" tab. It refuses to connect - either on data or by home wi-fi. Can you please advise if this is currently out of order for all? Thank you.

  • Josh_B_Rosner Josh 👨‍👨‍👧 🌈 ✡️ (@Josh_B_Rosner) reported

    @Telstra @shanon_p How about your customers decide what’s in their best interests? I’ve had a mobile phone plan with Telstra since mobile phones were invented. Never missed a single payment. Why do a credit check at EVERY plan renewal (ie every 24mths) if you don’t trust your customers??

  • shanon_p Shan (@shanon_p) reported

    @Telstra Nope. I was just agreeing with someone else here at how bad the lack of choice is. I never actually requested assistance.

  • Nosthesquidboi 💧NosthesquidGuy 🏳️‍🌈 🦘 🎃 (@Nosthesquidboi) reported

    @TelstraEnt Telstra claimed their coverage when beyond the grave. When they claimed my mother was using her long disconected landline for months after she had passed on. They never did give the money back, just claimed the cheque was in the mail.

  • HelenLK4 Helen LK (@HelenLK4) reported

    @Telstra my husband just spent 2.30 hours on a chat with Telstra. Absolutely no help at all, just trying to rip us off. So over Telstra.
