  • SEdwards0108 Scott Edwards 💉💉💉 (@SEdwards0108) reported

    Good morning @Telstra I have just received a text message from Telstra advising of an issue with my home internet and a link to reply. I thought it seemed a bit suss.

  • Maz__AU Maz (@Maz__AU) reported

    @RxstyyAU @Telstra Nothing but problems!!

  • steve_wars Steve (@steve_wars) reported

    @jenvwest @LMcKirdy7 Think he meant going to a public forum instead of proper channels isn’t the right option. If I worked for Telstra and had a similar issue you can’t just go air it out in Twitter. There is process

  • stwtwo Big Hamburger (@stwtwo) reported

    @IainND Oh yeah these days I just hang up, but one time I just kept pressing the "Telstra" guy for my account number and he got pissed off and called me a mother ****** and I just cracked up, that was fun

  • Deco_WZ deco_wz (@Deco_WZ) reported

    @Maz__AU @Telstra yep. will be without internet for a week or two and use hotspot, data runs out, then you have to call em again and they say they will re-imburse you with data but they never do

  • adam_turner Adam Turner (@adam_turner) reported

    @alexkidman @smyth_gj @AmyRemeikis the downside of the FttN-to-FttP upgrade is that NBN might use it as an excuse not to fix FttN issues, like Telstra did with copper and HFC beforing selling it to NBN

  • deathandsaints Commissions opening SOON (@deathandsaints) reported

    @Telstra damn, that extra data would have been super helpful right now is all.

  • paulbrown73au Paul Brown (@paulbrown73au) reported

    Hi @Optus can you tell me if iPhone 8 model number MQ7G2X/A works on the Optus network. Looking to switch to the flybuys/Optus $35 plan from @Telstra

  • franjlawrence Fran Lawrence (@franjlawrence) reported

    @Telstra Thanks Winona. We reached out a fair bit in recent weeks while we tethered laptops to phones to keep working from home, with no solutions or genuine help on offer... so very happy with the decision to move on.

  • SallyLawry 💧Sally Lawry (@SallyLawry) reported

    @ElianeMayer6 @AmyRemeikis By contacting Telco I had one contact, or Case Manager, who was very helpful . We have had lots of problems with connections and speed . Main problem being old copper wire and distance from the node . Got a good refund as Telstra was simply not providing promised service

  • chrislenton Chris Lenton (@chrislenton) reported

    hey @Telstra , since when is it ok to hold a customer's mobile number hostage for 14 days? You are obligated to port within 3 days according to the ACMA rules governing your carrier license. I've been without service for 14 days, how do you expect a person to survive this?

  • sharanjit Sharanjit Paddam (@sharanjit) reported

    Fast forward to this month when @telstra email me to say they’re having a #telstraday & lots of offers. Essentially I get ~$50 off a new phone and plan. Seems good, and I’m fed up of not getting service when I go bush. So I go to the website, order a new phone and plan 3/🧵

  • paulbrown73au Paul Brown (@paulbrown73au) reported

    @Optus Thank you. And I presume if I switch and port my number over I don’t have to contact Telstra to cancel?

  • Freddyfuddrucke BrisBoy atheist OA👻🍀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Freddyfuddrucke) reported

    Been in SW Queensland for the last few weeks and phone reception out there is absolute shite, I'm with Optus and have had virtually no signal once we left Roma, my wife is with Telstra and while she did have reception most of the time it was 3g at best; but I'm back now....

  • sharanjit Sharanjit Paddam (@sharanjit) reported

    At this point I’m a little bit annoyed. If @telstra have a problem with their courier, why should I wait for them to investigate this before they send me the phone? Why can’t they just send me a new one? 11/🧵

  • tanhuzzy Tanya Husbands (@tanhuzzy) reported

    @Telstra I'm not resetting jack s**t. Sort your tower problems, maybe upgrade the power sources. Stop pretending that the issues are with those of us paying for your crap service. Overpaid execs, underpaid techs and not enough invested in infrastrucure and maintenance.

  • DarkAnqelAvaa DarkAnqelAva (@DarkAnqelAvaa) reported

    Does anyone in Australia know any good WiFi company's? I'm sick of Telstra and Optus. They are just ****.

  • missfit22627816 missfit (@missfit22627816) reported

    @MatthewJ_Scott ahh the inner mysteries of Telstra that we mere customers are never privy to.

  • CowardlyOwl58 CynicOwl🦉🌻💉💉💉 #IStandwithDan (@CowardlyOwl58) reported

    Hey @Telstra my NBN service has dropped out at least a dozen times in the last half hour. This has been consistently happening since we connected. 2 service guys have been out to 'fix' it. Clearly they didn't. This is not good enough! We pay for this bs 😡 #Useless #Telstra #NBN

  • sharanjit Sharanjit Paddam (@sharanjit) reported

    So strap yourselves in. Especially if you’re thinking of purchasing a new phone and service via @Telstra. Moral of the story will be no surprise - do not get a mobile phone from them under any circumstance 1/🧵

  • thecrooksmethod Adam Crooks (@thecrooksmethod) reported

    @Telstra - is there currently an outage in Brisbane? Everything has dropped out.

  • monique58977060 monique mills (@monique58977060) reported

    @HAZAH_GAMING Hazah do you have A Telstra where you are if so they might help you with the hacking problem it's worse enough when my friend's dad got hacked last week

  • Gary_AE Gary Austin-Eames (@Gary_AE) reported from Gold Coast, State of Queensland

    @Telstra Please stop using overseas operators who cannot do anything except read a script and have no idea how to think logically to resolve an issue. That's 80 minutes of my life I won't get back.

  • aussieboroboy mark oconnor (@aussieboroboy) reported

    @Telstra Hi Telstra. I thought I'd heard that you had some fancy new spam-blocker software now. If so, it's not working. Must have blocked 50 numbers in last month and still getting peppered everyday. #SPAM

  • NettlePot Pam Swanborough (@NettlePot) reported

    @Telstra Well interestingly, now I am still being charged, but I'm completely unable to access any of that service. And it took 3.5 hours to get accurate info...

  • sharanjit Sharanjit Paddam (@sharanjit) reported

    A few month ago I moved home and decided to get nbn via @telstra because I liked the 4G backup option. Long story, which I’ll leave for another time, but eventually they connected me. Great nbn service, terrible 4G backup. Perhaps I should have learned then? 2/🧵

  • franjlawrence Fran Lawrence (@franjlawrence) reported

    It has given me immense pleasure today to pull the plug on shoddy @Telstra NBN service after weeks of outages, frustration and circular conversations with call centres in the Phillipines. Now on lightning fast connection with @Pentanet_ISP and local support. #winning

  • ang1333_dawagon burpbubbles (@ang1333_dawagon) reported

    Someone help!!!! @Telstra

  • obamalover_70 Finn (@obamalover_70) reported

    Great to know @Telstra is willing to call us 7 times in a day when we’re late on a bill but won’t provide serious support when our service is literally unusable. You’ll get your money when we get what we’re paying for 😌

  • erstkate Katarine (@erstkate) reported

    Hey remember landlines? We apparently have one but we never answer it and it lives in a cupboard (thanks to Telstra)
