  • Craig62269483 Craig (@Craig62269483) reported

    @Telstra Why am I getting this I'm not even living in these states and not a telstra customer

  • Kimmy_Rayner Kimmy (@Kimmy_Rayner) reported

    @greenmonkey7007 @Telstra I'm disabled, live in Wodonga and felt so vulnerable. Couldn't dial out .. no internet. I've only just found out that there was an outage. I was so worried 😟

  • aus_jimmy Jimmy (@aus_jimmy) reported

    @andrewbogut @Telstra Aussie Broadband has on shore Australian customer service, it was a whole new world after dealing with Telstra

  • MikeRA1991 Mike (@MikeRA1991) reported

    It’s happening on my other Telstra box! Help?

  • gtvone Simon ******* (@gtvone) reported

    Hey @Telstra I've been a customer of you guys since 'about' the 13th or April 2011... I can't think of one time I've had to make less than about ten calls/emails/messages to sort out my plan upgrade every time it's happened. (again, today..) I don't get it. 🫣👨‍🌾

  • revolios revolio (@revolios) reported

    @Telstra /2 will have finished up, and service will be restored. Telstra is too big, too many autonomous cowboys, lacks honest internal communications. It is only NBN in a quiet time, data still ok so I can tether, but for a continuation of a 48 year patronage, I am not as unwavering

  • gavpin Gavin Pinnington (@gavpin) reported

    @Telstra why does your internet keep dropping our lately in the Seacliff Park area? The service is shocking

  • benjdunn benjdunn (@benjdunn) reported

    @Telstra I recently bought your 3rd Gen router with a 3rd Gen wifi extender and the signal isn’t strong enough to reach upstairs. Would your wifi guarantee help here ?

  • bryn_benn Bryn_Benn •Iona Cabin in the woods• (@bryn_benn) reported

    @Telstra Pretty crap house

  • LivAverageGamer LivAverageGamer (@LivAverageGamer) reported

    @Telstra How can they raise an issue they don't understand? They literally don't know what a ddos attack is and refuse to do anything other than their scripted procedure. Case in point, it's taken a week and over 5 hours on the phone/app to get it raised to level 2.

  • clairebennett38 Mummy Bennett (@clairebennett38) reported

    @Telstra when your Complaints Department closes my Complaint without first contacting me, it's time to contact the Telecoms Industry Ombudsman. Agree?

  • revolios revolio (@revolios) reported

    @Telstra Hmmmm. Ran that. All ok. Tried another power off/0n. Neighbour seems to be having same problem. Must be a coincidence. I still can't see any of the 15 other Telstra xxxxx listed, that I usually see however on my phone. I will just wait...the tech will be finished soon

  • owh Onno Benschop (@owh) reported

    @LindaBr40292791 @IanHartley_ Telstra uses it to signify rural network coverage...

  • revolios revolio (@revolios) reported

    @Telstra All I know is someone must be doing something at the exchange level, because the Telstra modems in the area I can see under my phone's wifi network starts re-populating, gets to about 9, and then they all drop out.

  • PoppetIII Poppet von Spocklington III - PvSIII (@PoppetIII) reported

    @daleInMelbourne @Telstra Customer Service should be top tier, especially since COVID. However those who flourished in COVID ie Uber do not give a ****. It should be illegal Uber cannot be contacted via phone. Customer Service is a forgotten art.

  • Media_Guy22 Media_guy (@Media_Guy22) reported

    @kangaroos991 @DanielAndrewsMP They never pull out the "Is it the best use of taxpayers money?" when the LNP: Gave $3bn to Telstra to buy another Teclo (just gave it) Locked in $55.3bn of resource sector "subsidies" Drop $42Mil on Hillsong church for not apparent reason! CH9 pearl clutching outrage..

  • kl_kevinlay KL (@kl_kevinlay) reported

    @Telstra still down in Guyra area, NSW

  • RoryMuir3 Rory Muir (@RoryMuir3) reported

    @prior_robin So very sorry. We’ve had intermittent poor quality internet over the years and some outages - have got by using our phones as hot-spots, but far from ideal. We’re Telstra + NBN and can’t say I’d recommend…. Hope yours is fixed soon.

  • Adina__Levy Adina Levy (@Adina__Levy) reported

    @Telstra why did I just get confirmation of my nbn order when I cancelled, had it confirmed by about 5 agents over about 3 hours of phone calls, and have it written in a case resolution email that any orders are cancelled? I don’t live at that address anymore. Deeply incompetent

  • sassejane Lyndal (@sassejane) reported

    I had low expectations @Telstra but seriously. Technician no-show for appt between 8am - 1pm, 45 mins in chat at 2:30pm to be told they can't help and to call in, two phone calls with promised call back not followed through, to end up with appt being cancelled, wasting whole day.

  • tjhart78 Tjhart (@tjhart78) reported

    @BUSINESSWODONGA @Telstra Is it just me or is TV still down?

  • asifkatelyn Katelyn (@asifkatelyn) reported

    @TimothyJ_23 @Telstra If someone has this option I NEVER leave a message Because I just know the text is going to make zero sense

  • chintanpatel107 Chintan Patel (@chintanpatel107) reported

    No stable networks from last 3 weeks in north west Tasmania,no internet service and no call. What’s going on? @Telstra

  • BgeeBg Bob G (@BgeeBg) reported

    @richontech Need help with wifi calling you spoke of. Live in Australia traveling to US, using airalo or t-mobile esim. Do I have to enable both Telstra SIM and the esim? Do I have to be on a wifi network, or does Airalo data work as wifi?

  • NotBluepanda24 ɮluePanda24 (@NotBluepanda24) reported

    Our new plan has ran out it’s gone back to dropping out, previously called telstra and they run you through the same “restart your modem” bullshit every time you call, unacceptable that this has been an ongoing issue for several years and goes away when we upgrade and now it’s

  • KanaNathan555 KanaNathan (@KanaNathan555) reported

    @Telstra Thanks Telstra to let us know about the issue. It will make happy to the customers who affected. Otherwise they don't know what happened and get angry on the phone.

  • cooperx Kevin Cooper (@cooperx) reported

    @Telstra Thanks, No connection problems, just flooding the footpath and my driveway a little and can’t remember it being like this before
