    @Southozbadboy @SpaceX This is for people with 0/bad service. Igf you can get telstra in your area and it's cheap do that. We use it for camping and there is zero services at most places we go and it's amazing.

  • manelodge Mane Lodge (@manelodge) reported

    @SpaceX 😩 we ordered a week too soon 🤯 but it is a welcome change from the rubbish and poor customer service from @Telstra not only was the internet slower than the old dial up we still have no landline for home or business number either

  • KimVivin1 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙚 𝙑𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙖𝙣  (@KimVivin1) reported

    NBN drop outs. Send pics of red/no lights on NBN box. Tell them not modem, it's NBN. Telstra sends new modem. They want to troubleshoot modem. Tell again not modem. Been doing this since 2015. Support only via app....but NBN drops out, can't chat!! @Telstra #badservice

  • manelodge Mane Lodge (@manelodge) reported

    @Telstra They came and said they fixed the problem but it still not working they also said who needs a land line these days despite it being both a home/rural and business line

  • NadiaSt40754595 Nadia Stewart (@NadiaSt40754595) reported

    @Telstra Your system is broken. My credit rating is perfect. I have no no debt, no mortgage, my house and car is paid off and have savings in the bank. I can afford $100 a month. Uni kids next door with part time work can get a full phone re payment plan over 36mths

  • KCNFB Casey Carpenter (@KCNFB) reported

    Is anyone having issues recharging on the @Telstra app? My daughter recharged almost 8 hours ago, the receipt is on the app but the recharge hasn’t been applied ..

  • AndyMyersAU Andy Myers (@AndyMyersAU) reported

    @trinest “**** TELSTRA”

  • ausdamo yepItsMe (@ausdamo) reported

    @Telstra wondering when the 404. Page not found errors and Message Us feature will work again on the Telstra Plus rewards store. It's been broken the past 6 days. Trying to redeem points :)

  • MatthewFeeley2 Matthew Feeley (@MatthewFeeley2) reported

    @danderfield @TheVision_13 @PiesCheerSquad That’s for crowd capacity reasons. It only happens against Geelong. We play at Marvel for our home games multiple times per year. Very hard done by. It’s like Sydney playing at Telstra Stadium multiple times a year instead of the SCG. Don’t think that would go down too well.

  • MilletEater Chatty Bird (@MilletEater) reported

    .@Telstra internet is down again in Tamworth - 2nd time in 3 days😡 Are you skimping on experienced staff to keep it running or what is your problem? Please explain.

  • arthacket Art Hackett (@arthacket) reported

    @LORD_HIGH_HORSE @SpaceX Thanks. Thinking of ditching the Telstra and their offshored customer disservice, even though it’s $40 more 🙁

  • KimVivin1 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙚 𝙑𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙖𝙣  (@KimVivin1) reported

    @Telstra I have lodged complaint with the TIO as this has taken 5hrs now to try and resolve this. I am not even at home anymore and when I am connection keeps dropping and I can't chat.

  • louiealipat louie alipat (@louiealipat) reported

    so is Optus any better than Telstra because I feel being robbed wtf is this upfront plan

  • cantdecide1 leroy (@cantdecide1) reported

    @SpaceX Make it $99 per month and 100k people will sign up tomorrow. So much better than the **** NBN. Also a giant FU to Telstra, who are easily the worst run business in the country.

  • CupacGeorge George Cupac (@CupacGeorge) reported

    @SpaceX Starlink probably has better service than Telstra. My phone keeps dropping out and I'm in the city, every time I go to complain it takes hours get anything done. But at least Telstra is much better than Vodafone.

    I recieved Compuserve magazines they used keyword commands pre-microsoft windows 95 time period. very simular to -Telecom-Telstra service called Viatel. at the time.

  • katrobison Kat Robison Hasani, PhD katrobison@aus.social (@katrobison) reported

    Apparently, it’s the day for bad customer service, this time with @Telstra, but hey, at least they solved the problem.

  • NadiaSt40754595 Nadia Stewart (@NadiaSt40754595) reported

    @Telstra I've been a Telstra customer for over 20 years and I have never had a late payment. Yesterday my phone upgrade was denied because I'm on unpaid leave. I had kids late so I could save enough money to raise my family. How can you discriminate against stay at home mums?

  • felicitykate Fliss (@felicitykate) reported

    @DrewTailored @chrismcquarrie @LightTheFusePod Also I'll never not be healed Telstra the fact you got the cake

  • BrettD08 Brett Doyle (@BrettD08) reported

    @Telstra is the in app chat down?

  • Steve_deNiese Steve de Niese (@Steve_deNiese) reported

    I had to opt out of CGNAT with @Aussie_BB last night at 8pm, literally was a 4 minute phone call and done. With Telstra I’d still be on the phone now. Exceptional service.

  • LOTP1234 Life Of The Party (@LOTP1234) reported

    @jezryan21 @essendonfc Are you getting the repeat thing? Kayo is ******* garbage and it’s done on purpose by Telstra so that not everyone gets rid of Foxtel

  • serehfas Angie Adamson (@serehfas) reported

    @BCoppick @grumpyoldfool62 @CaraMia200 I can fully understand, the way telstra treats its customers, probably reflects how they treat their staff, and you'd probably be in the firing line.

  • NadiaSt40754595 Nadia Stewart (@NadiaSt40754595) reported

    @Telstra Optus have no issues with me coming across. I'm so disappointed in Telstra and I feel like I've been treated like a 1950s housewife with no rights. I'm on unpaid maternity leave by choice so I can raise my family with my own savings. How is that a risk?

  • MorialtaMuse Morialta Muse (@MorialtaMuse) reported

    @Telstra Hi Telstra, I have been chatting online to Telstra for an hour & 15 minutes. I’ve been in store & wasted a day trying to get service. I’ve called 3 times? I what point do I warrant a call or a number where I can speak to someone?

  • NadiaSt40754595 Nadia Stewart (@NadiaSt40754595) reported

    @Telstra If that's the case then why was I denied. I've been a Telstra customer for over 20 years, I own my home outright, have no debt and have savings in the bank and Telstra asked me to pay $1000 outright on my phone and will only allow $12 a month for 36mths.

  • ABCoppin Annabelle Coppin (@ABCoppin) reported

    @TrishBarron Thanks Trish our Telstra towers are down be handy to get them up again and emergency response needs total overhaul

  • SPShipman Samuel 🚢 (@SPShipman) reported

    @Telstra @manelodge I don't think you understand how humans work. Your fix the problem when you're told about it, or we find a different service. Most Australians have a lifetime of complaints against @Telstra and that isn't going away.
