Telstra Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • TickHarris Victoria Evans (@TickHarris) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    @MatthewBevan Since now moving to Australia and dealing with horrendous @Telstra customer service, wasting hours and hours on hold to them and paying for internet they didn’t deliver, I feel I’ve paid them back.

  • AnthonyClarkAU Anthony Clark (@AnthonyClarkAU) reported

    @Telstra It is constantly described as "network update" on your website. But it is happening EVERY DAY. Was advised it would happen overnight... but now in the middle of the work day without notice. Not much of an update if it means nobody can use the net reliably for 2wks. @NBN_Australia

  • Badger_tbg Badger 🦡 (@Badger_tbg) reported

    @NBN_Australia Thanks #nbnsupport I have spoken to @iiNet numerous times with no outcome. My @Telstra 4G service is quicker than the service I receive from them

  • arcwhite Andy White (@arcwhite) reported

    @PeterKlages @andy_penn I would say it's worse than nothing for nothing; we ALL get our privacy violated by their surveillance capitalism marketing projects for Telstra's profits regardless of whether we're a customer

  • markhiscox Mark H (@markhiscox) reported

    @Telstra Trying to transfer phone and broadband. Front end of your automated call center tells me everything ok. I don’t have nbn at new address and need someone to help preferably human to help. 16252053 is case number

  • kakyokuu_ monkey ball fan (@kakyokuu_) reported

    @2017fan1 @Telstra problem?

  • vmainard Vicki Mainard 🇦🇺🕹🏀🐈 Scomo is my PM. (@vmainard) reported

    @GuardianAus @wetton_martin Their network is *********, so they are getting desperate to keep their customers. More people leave Telstra than come over to them.

  • richseeto Richard Seeto (@richseeto) reported

    @thespecialbka @sacarlin48 That so? About ******* time to pay back some benefits to the community for the money grab Telstra has made over the years; but, hey....where ******** are these community phones in my suburb???

  • tirath Tirath “OpLock and Chill” Ramdas (@tirath) reported

    @David_S_Dowling @Telstra You mean the kids don’t carry 20 cents in their school shoes for emergency phone calls anymore? Is it because the shoes these days can’t handle it? It’s the shoes isn’t it… they don’t make ‘em like they used to. But yeah, agreed, this is a good move by Telstra.

  • HangrilyJon HangrilyJon (@HangrilyJon) reported

    Hey @Telstra, Want to explain why your ordering process will only handle one order per customer at a time? Even the simplest of online cart systems can handle this. Very frustrated right now!

  • BeachGirlJan The World has gone mad. JG 🌴⛵🐬🏖🐾🇦🇺 (@BeachGirlJan) reported

    Hi @Telstra. Are you having issues? I am unable to log on to my Big Pond account.

  • 1970genxmum 💧Libby (@1970genxmum) reported

    WFH internet is **** 👏👏👏 @NBN_Australia @Telstra

  • rilez Rilez (@rilez) reported

    @RNBreakfast @andy_penn @Telstra That is terrific. I have worked with many disadvantaged people who can only get prepaid phone deals, making it very difficult to speak to support services.

  • iallikat 🧚‍♀️🏖alikat🐬🧜🏽‍♀️ (@iallikat) reported

    @JimRHoughton Telstra will probably bring in a compulsory ID voice print data collection waiver in order to use service. there has to be a catch somewhere?

  • VK3TBN Pete (@VK3TBN) reported

    @Malarndirri19 @Telstra Senator McCarthy, can I suggest contacting @andy_penn by phone and leaving him a message. He should have a senior account rep assigned to you and your team that can assist you. It may help cut through the Bots or call Centre based overseas. He is pretty responsive.

  • DeborahKent10 Deborah Kent (@DeborahKent10) reported

    @Telstra your network appears to down again Inner West

  • FionaMMarsden Fiona M Marsden (@FionaMMarsden) reported

    Telstra: We’ve performed extensive testing on our 5G network and found the electromagnetic energy (EME) levels to be well below the safety limits, and in many cases over a thousand times lower. Me: I just want to know when my enhanced AZ vaccine reception kicks in. #funnyhaha

  • andrea_babon Andrea Babon (@andrea_babon) reported

    Watching #ScoMo press conference on COVID strategy is like calling #telstra for help- it's an hour of my life I will never get back. #auspol

  • markamckean Mark McKean (@markamckean) reported

    @abcnews Good on Telstra for this vital service

  • markhiscox Mark H (@markhiscox) reported

    @Telstra can someone help me with my nbn transfer. Tried ringing and cannot get past automated service. 16252053 is case number

  • t_charn522 Thr Den (@t_charn522) reported

    @CaraMia200 @slsandpet I've had a 'never-use' policy with Q for 15+ years, ditto Telstra, for same reasons

  • PeterKlages Peter Klages (@PeterKlages) reported

    @andy_penn What’s the fine print? There’s always a catch with Telstra, a customer-service-free-zone if ever there was one.

  • DeborahKent10 Deborah Kent (@DeborahKent10) reported

    @Telstra Looks like it’s back up it’s been out most of the morning will contact if it goes down again

  • markhiscox Mark H (@markhiscox) reported

    @Telstra Case no 16252053 this was given to me by the person who initiated the transfer last week It took me 3 months last time to connect and now it’s started again what is so hard about a simple customer transfer

  • FamousRob FamousRob (@FamousRob) reported

    @Telstra Clever. Phones as a free service that promotes the brand. Smart move.

  • PeterKlages Peter Klages (@PeterKlages) reported

    @arcwhite @andy_penn You get nothing for nothing from Telstra. It’s a hive of inactivity and mediocrity led by a board and management that reflects its bloated, overpriced products and services and its non-existent service delivery.

  • AnthonyClarkAU Anthony Clark (@AnthonyClarkAU) reported

    Seriously @Telstra and @NBN_Australia - our internet is going down every day. The whole suburb. It's been happening for weeks now. How is anyone supposed to work from home or homeschool in lockdown? Even 4G backup is struggling under load it seems.

  • TickHarris Victoria Evans (@TickHarris) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    @Telstra Haha. No, after 3 months of no internet, several days lost on hold trying to sort, Telstra refusing to help me, I gave up and went to internode.

  • lucychip Lucy Jones (@lucychip) reported

    @Nowun6 @CaseyBriggs Yep agreed. Telstra still haven't sorted out the lack of 4G at my new house, despite insisting it's not a black spot and promising someone will call back. Each time we call they again say someone will call back. It's been going on since June. They are beyond terrible!

  • injureys (@injureys) reported

    @shiverzfx @Telstra You this down bad for people to play Val with?
