@revolios @Telstra I actually can’t agree with you more. The frustrating thing is I have been redeployed in another large company to help with the call centre backlog and I currently can’t do that because Telstra didn’t see the value in moving their own staff remotely.

@marcuskelson @Telstra Don't direct debit with Telstra. Their billing system is shit. As is their willingness to admit and address problems. Better still don't do business with them - it's a lot easier.

@ellispeta @Telstra I tried to get dongles all day. No luck. So got a pretty paid sim to put in a super old iPhone to hotspot but @Telstra activation has been down. Phone numbers said do online, online not working. No call centres. #TelstraFail

Everything in my world seems to be taking longer. My computer has slowed down. I no longer have email.(Optus has no online techicnical team). It took me an hour and a half to get through to Telstra. My washing machine is broken. My TV doesn't work. All I have is Twitter. TGFT.

Hello @Telstra please reply. Your internet today, like most days, has been extraordinarily poor and I am struggling to contain my excitement at receiving yet another full price bill for your half-price service.

@TPG_Telecom She's done this and spent 15 hours on the phone to no avail. She spend $400 to change her provider to Telstra due to TPG'S failure to address the phone line being broken

.@Telstra Third time of asking now. I want to cancel my agreement with you. You are useless, both in terms of internet provision and customer service. I can’t do it on your app. I can’t do it online and your call centre is closed.

@JenBrockie @Telstra I had MEGA issues with Telstra recently and contacted the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman. The very next day Telstra called me and the ridiculously LONG-STANDING was sorted out. Perhaps give them a call. 💜

@Telstra @Optus @VodafoneAU I am a primary school teacher with five students who currently do not have home internet. I am happy to pay for the Wifi 4G USB dongles and trying to find anyone who has them in stock. Any help would be greatly appreciated. #Teacher #RemoteLearning

@Telstra 1/2. 2,weeks ago I suggested we switch from @Optus to Telstra, up our speed to 50mps as your bundle seemed better than Optus. Now we have no internet (which seemed to work on an Optus network) and yesterday my sister lost her job. She has 2 weeks left of her job and now

@jonty_hare @samuelh512 @Telstra_news @Telstra That would be great if TELSTRA 1.doesn't hang up on you. 2. You can't contact Telstra maybe now they'll realise that having call centers overseas is STUPID. I need to change my entire package for home ph. New mobile and internet plan & Foxtel I'm leaving telstra now

@marcuskelson We pay 70 per month for unlimited broadband and home phone (myrepublic). 15 per month each for Aldi mobile. Unlimited calls etc and more data than we can use. So $100 per month total. Aldi use Telstra network.

So @Telstra support centre won’t answer my calls. They direct me to the app. The person on the app literally says “I’m not sure what’s going on” and says I need to call the support centre. I don’t usually complain but this is the worst service I have ever received. #telstra

Mate, I’d 1) take a hard look at your call center blatant lies saying they’ll call back - not once but 4 times and 2) stop selling a product you can’t deliver on on your website - that’s a lie as well. It is virtually impossible to become a Telstra customer.

@Telstra your 5G service is appalling. I've been using for about 6 months. I live in Sydney CBD and work in Wynyard. I've been relying on WiFi 85% the time to access Facebook, Twitter, Email, basic browser usage. Very disappointing.

@Meagan__Lawson @JenBrockie @Telstra If I didn’t go down this pathway I’d be bald by now. I’ve actually no idea how they remain in business. Basic account management is a 1/10 at best.

@philoye @Telstra Spoken to @Telstra Twitter support about a week ago. “Someone will call me back”. Whole thing is becoming a bit of a joke.
