Telstra Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Jilly (@MssJilly) reported@SistaRuthDOPD They use the Telstra platform. Never heard of it doing that, but calls are answered based on the key words you use when it asks you what you’re calling about. Also offers ‘place in queue’, calling you back when your phone no reaches #1 in the queue, which is really worth doing.

Senator Sarah Henderson (@SenSHenderson) reportedAnika Wells’ claim 'the industry must learn from its mistakes' following a damning report into the catastrophic Telstra outage is not good enough. The collapse of Telstra’s mobile network on 8 July this year caused chaos with payment systems, shut down train networks, and stopped some people calling triple zero. Mobile telecommunications networks are critical infrastructure. That is why, on the day of the outage, the Coalition called on the government to urgently deliver mobile network reliability standards. There must be appropriate minimum standards in place governing the reliability, performance, and maintenance of our mobile networks with significant penalties when those standards are breached. Asking telcos to 'rebuild trust with Australians by ensuring networks do not succumb to preventable failures’ as the minister stated today, is like hitting the telcos with a piece of wet lettuce. The minister’s silence on the need for a tougher regulatory framework is deafening.

Krutopimages (@JOHNKRUTOP) reportedTelstra - what a waste of time…how can a service provider send out this month bill $20 more than Last month? From $129 to $149…what will it be for the Next month? Our streaming is constantly fluctuating I spent 2 hrs speaking to a rep. Overseas to get my modem working- Now ?

Brett Cousins (@BrettWCousins) reportedBoarded the Spirit of Tasmania Monday. Departed 6.45pm. Surging deep into the blackened waters of Bass Strait about 8.45, I lost the @Telstra network. It bravely held for 2 hours of glorious sea going connectivity. So why can’t I get a bloody #Telstra signal in #Elwood?!!
-
Sue Davis (@Sueberry2) reported@blu_boys @Optus Go Aldi...roll over data, plans from $23, Telstra network, and currently double data on some plans for 6months if you start up before the end of September 2026.
-
Johnny (@JohnnyLydon) reportedIt’s $250k for 27 years as an mp including 7 years as deputy premier and premier less than half the increase of the Telstra CEO’s $6m annual pay packet. You and the idiot Murphy should just get stuffed.

©GSG▪︎𝒫𝑒𝓉𝑒𝓇🛸Gamer TLC🔌🚫🎮🔜Starting 2028 (@GAMESweetG) reportedUnfortunately I wasn't able to stream tonight. My Telstra internet connection upload speed was terrible. It was very good for the past several months my mobile broadband connection was. Nearly 30mb per sec upload speed. But now it's down to the crawl 12mb. Not happy with my ISP.

stephen (@johnsy123aus) reportedTelstra CEO gets $700,000 pay rise to $6.8m despite Australia-wide outage
-
Kai (@kai_h) reported@no1historychick 5GB a month? That’s such a low cap. Are you on a really old plan or something? Even Telstra’s entry-level basic plan today has 50GB of data. If you want something cheaper, Belong uses the Telstra network and their plan still has 25GB data.

🌸 Rita Gee ♥ 🇦🇺 (@Riogallica) reportedMy @NBN has been down since 9am & they won't come to fix issue till Monday - 4 days (2nd time in 2 wks)! My Telstra hotspotting is weak. Time to hook up with @starlink Issue here is local installer charges an arm/leg etc to install sys on roof etc. I may have to suck it up.

Ben Davison (@Ben_Davison1) reportedCBA makes $620 PROFIT PER CUSTOMER Westpac makes $532 per customer NAB makes $835! (Milking small businesses pays off) By comparison Telstra makes $104 profit per customer & super retail group (Rebel, Supercheap Auto etc) makes $20 per customer No wonder banks love oligarchy

jordanjackelyse (@jordanjackelyse) reported@noahitallll @PatricPaal @pelisonlinegrat Work choices, joined the Iraq war, sold off last shares commonwealth bank, Telstra, and long term leases for airports, and then the biggest one of all. His 2002 China LNG (liquefied natural gas) agreement signed was the worst resource deal in Australian history. He was bad. 🤡

John Maunder (@john_lyndondale) reported@MrRexPatrick Am amazed you have internet access, must be Starlink?? One of my gripes travelling out there is when there is a Telstra signal, but being on their network with another provider and it does not work.
-
Nicole Kennedy 🇦🇺 (@kennedylnicole) reported@Telstra I have requested cancellation of a service on four separate occasions, yet continue to be charged multiple times. This morning your chat team again asked whether I wish to cancel it. Please confirm the cancellation under reference 130242508 and address my complaint 136862308 at your earliest convenience. Can you also explain the photo information? Thank you.

-
Howard (@howardw46) reported@Telstra why is there very limited connection on the VLine service between Bairnsdale & Latrobe Valley? For most of the trip the train line is adjacent to the highway where connection is available.
-
Rusty Broo (@rustybroo) reported@SirMickW And how is it possible that @Telstra Brady gets $6.7 MILLION DOLLARS a year for buggering up the phones? #Telstra #Fail
-
Jaraparilla 🇾🇪 🇵🇸 🇱🇧 (@jaraparilla) reported@IRanalyst I am 61 years old and I worked for a lot of big business corporations including IBM, British Telecom and Telstra. The ethos was always the same. No concern for morality, total focus on shareholder gains. Why I never became a manager.
-
Ronnie Chapman (@ronnnie_12trans) reported@SWatMR11 @GusLefty Rex was dropped by Qantas and that idiot Joyce was an instigator . 48% of telstra sold off by Howard ,Hockey responsible for the demise of Ford, GMH and Toyota pulling out of Australia.

Nathan ***** (@NathanOrgan) reported@grok @RositaDaz48 Telstra lmfao!! Charter Hall? lol Langdon capital? Are these people able to understand public service and the true value of work? I doubt it.
-
Jo Christiansen (@JoChristianse13) reported@Riogallica @Starlink We have @Starlink. Telstra lied to my husband about the download speed, by saying it was slow, then when I cancelled them & said that we were getting Starlink, another person actually tried to talk me into getting Starlink through Telstra.🙄 We went to Starlink’s Website & a local starlink Contractor installed it for us - $106.36 + GST
-
There’s Only One Jezza (@StandMeOver) reported@Ausbobsmit And she’s as dumb as ****. Watched the Telstra 000 enquiry and she couldn’t even get the Telstra CEO’s name right. Any wonder these senate enquirers aren’t worth the paper they’re written on. As for actions post them, wipe my arse with them as the majority are forgotten.

Pode vir (@thiagoTF) reported@australian lol imagine trusting telstra with actual AI. signal probably failed to aggregate before they even hit the damn button
