Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Hydra Boom (@HydraBoom) reported@Telstra No outages, just the pathetic mobile coverage that is our only back up for nbn. Keep putting your cgarges up and the service keeps declining. You know about this problem, its been reported multiple times, fix the tower already.
-
Mr. Ash (@D4rkni99a) reported@NedKellysReveng @RealDonKeith Shut up *****. You sound gay. Considering I had to help Telstra pull you ****** retards into the 21st century technologically, I don’t give a **** what you mfs have to say about us “yanks.”
-
The Lord (@lord_tizza) reportedAnd Telstra support said it was a fault, after a hour and a half of trouble shooting. I checked NBN and looks like a service outage in our area - checked a couple of addresses in our road. How long do these usually take to resolve? I was looking forward to a good long weekend :(
-
Tony Chatham (@tony_chatham) reported@analyticflying @Optus I switched from @optus mobile to Woolworths who use the Telstra network. Considerably cheaper but much more reliable.

Extranious A (VIC/Tim) (@AssExtranious) reported@gilmie76 @Telstra @MarkAClarkson Or threatening you with a $200 fine for not returning your modem after your house burned down.

Raymond Brown (@jrbrown48_brown) reported@TimjboAU This idiot sold our gold reserves & Telstra. We had to buy it back with shares. Didn't have the courage to lead the Libs.

davie ewan macdonald (@escalatorover) reported.@Telstra In 2025 I had an issues with Telstar email outgoing server to my desktop. Eventually after 8 weeks Telstra finally accepted they were a cause of the dysfunction of my application. Today after 7 weeks I have had cause to write the following to Telstra. Dear Help Desk (Vicki Brady) Last Thursday and I don't know if it was in response to my previous write message (ONE OF SEVERAL) I was via text/sms promised a support call. New Case/reference Number 129518320 I have heard nothing! This issue with your server connectivity to my desk top application,encryption to your server incoming to my app means this matter has been ongoing now for 7 weeks. In April/May 2025 it took Telstra 8 weeks to accept responsibility. In the meantime I have been struggling with Webmail and today I can report in detail recorded over the past 3 days 11 (Eleven) separate bugs in webmail that are repeated multiple times amounting to 21 (Twenty One) cases of dysfunctional instances this morning. These issues reported at least as far back as 2023 but were again at various times over the past 7 (Seven) weeks. Only with a desktop application can these issues be minimized. The last consultant prior to my message of last week was highly disingenuous with me saying he would keep the case open until I as I offered to do again consult MS about the issues . The outcome was he simply closed the case as reported to you Tuesday last. DM's not accepted. Here is fine. Nothing to hide

☘️ Simon C ☘️ (@SimonGetsWild) reported@aussiesoph Sorry for your loss 😔🙏🏻. My grandparents Always lived overseas and Telstra was expensive af growing up to ring them.. I never really knew them 😔. Same with uncles and cousins etc Idk how I'd cope losing a close family member 😭😭
-
miss_84 (@Miss__84) reported@Telstra No idea i havent spoken to her yet but this is a fair bit of crap youre pulling on an elderly and vulnerable woman... could almost inch into elder abuse considering youll still ask her to pay her full bill
-
Richard (@dickster1907) reported@AussieVal10 Because of the Howard Government we no longer receive dividends from previously owned Government entities like the Commonwealth Bank and Telstra because they sold them. Good move Johnny you ******* economic vandal. Oh and BTW they sold off our gold reserves for **** all as well.
-
Kim B (@too_good1) reported@Telstra what’s going on with internet in area code 2640?? It’s been up & down constantly since Wednesday.. 8 times dropping out. Is it inland rail causing the issue??? We are close to train station.. call centre is no help!
-
Dave Jones (@eevblog) reported@asphotos Science isn't going to help when the system is clogged because the NBN is down and many thousands of people are trying to find workarounds. Telstra in the park has collapsed, and Optus is struggling.
-
madi ✨ @DAZOTL AN7 SOON (@timepatches) reported@Empty_jr try boost!! it's on the proper telstra network (bc it's owned by them) not the wholesale. i live out bush and am partway thru moving over
-
Salt N pepper 🌶️ (@Partytime63) reported@MarkAClarkson @Telstra I left Telstra years ago and not going back unless they are the only one left in the market. Telstra is the most expensive service provider in the world. They are also not honest about the blackspot in many parts of remote areas.
-
Savas (@savasmelb) reported@disco___cat I’m happy with a Boost 365 day plan and they use the full Telstra network. No point paying a premium for the Telstra brand I think.
-
Peter Dewar (@PeterD84508) reported@markbouris John Howard a failed PM that lost his own seat. Sold off Telstra to the people that already owned it at a time when we needed to upgrade to optic fibre network. Tried to introduce Workchoices to destroy wage increases. Sold off gas on 30 year contract . Neg gearing and CGT ..
-
Craig Gardiner (@cwgardiner) reported@telstra reception in Vermont South (near Sewart close) is crap. I logged a call (INC 40508228) as a @Telstra Gold member 6 months ago, today they told me it was fixed. It ain’t fixed. Still no 4G/5G and I’m paying for 4G backup on my NBN modem. This is beyond a joke.

Icanhaveaopinion (@whateveryeahnah) reported@Optus @Telstra @AlboMP ******* peace of ****, ******* useless ******* telecommunications. ******* piece of **** ******* useless ********* who make decisions on this ******* ****. Little wonder businesses are going out of ******* business and no one wants to ******* invest
-
GTCE (@tommygnr) reported@TurboDungstorm @taipan168 Worst part is they still think Telstra is the most evil player in the game. (Although slightly less evil since they got rid of that pesky Yankee Sol Trujillo 🙄)

Jackson (@jacksondavis316) reported@talyasalem Valid haha. The Telstra whistling one when you're getting belted is the worst too
-
Andrew Cunningham (@AS_Cunningham) reported@BrilliantMaps As a Canadian who has never been there: Qantas, Macquarie, BHP, Telstra and a couple of banks are the only names that ring a bell.

7NEWS Adelaide (@7NewsAdelaide) reportedPolice are searching for a second suspect after a copper cable stealing spree left dozens of homes without internet in Morphett Vale. Both ends of a cable had been cut in Telstra pits and dragged hundreds of metres down the road. Police say they spotted an SUV with a large amount of cabling on the ground before seizing various power tools from inside the vehicle. A 41‑year‑old Christies Beach man has been charged with theft and going equipped.

XCorpHub (@XCorpHub) reported🚨 Telstra, TPG telecom clash with Musk’s SpaceX over Starlink spectrum guarantee Australian telecom giants Telstra and TPG Telecom are urging the government to hold competitive auctions for satellite-mobile frequencies instead of granting SpaceX guaranteed priority access for Starlink’s Direct-to-Cell service. They warn that such guarantees risk market concentration and could lead to higher consumer prices. SpaceX has cautioned that without assured spectrum through a direct network licence it may withhold full deployment of the service in Australia. • Telstra and TPG stress the need for multiple satellite providers and diverse commercial models to promote genuine competition. • The outcome will influence connectivity expansion across remote and regional Australia where traditional networks fall short.

Andrew (@andrewrdn463) reported@Telstra Telstra staff are erasing customer complaints causing profits to go down as customers go to the Ombudsman. REPORT TELSTRA AS THIS IS ILLEGAL.

Man With A Stick (@bludgeonParagon) reported@ashleycanttweet Social media truly signal boosts the most negative people these days because I remember back when I was playing a ton of Horizon 3, and as an Australian I don't recall people online ever being so miserable. I was just marvelling at the wheelie bins and Telstra phone booths lmao
-
Steph McG (@oohaah_67) reported@Telstra now it’s a joke hey! Hamlyn Terrace and surrounding areas without 5G for the last couple of days. If you can’t fix or find the fault how about deploying mobile towers. Not everyone has NBN connectivity.

TurboChook (@TasTurboChook) reported@telstra why is your mobile phone coverage in Hervey Bay QLD so poor?
