Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Marg N - AU (@Daisy1158) reported.@Telstra You know, it would be great if people would be notified of NBN work and interruptions at least BEFORE the internet is no longer working! I got a notification AFTER the service was restored!
-
Ignatius Tse (@Ignatius_Tse) reported@Telstra is there a reason why mobile data is so bad in Ashfield? It’s bad inside the mall but today it was unusable outside on the street as well even though the phone indicated 2 bar of reception.
-
The Fighting Roo (@TheFightingRoo) reportedTelstra’s service for 5G is that slow in North Melbourne it makes modern tech useless. I have 2 bars & 4g speed. @Telstra you are a garbage service nowadays.
-
Jonathan Borges (@bo10546) reported@AFL @kylie @Telstra And not a **** was given that day.
-
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.
-
Bryn Davies an OA dad (@tofar1) reported@VGreg82063 @Telstra ****, if we're including the wheatbelt, I have no phone reception 3km from Kulin. But I thought scarborough would be a easy fix so I can watch netflix the next time I'm in the city.
-
Loftwah (@loftwah) reportedWe pay like a $150 a month for the premium of Telstra mobile and it doesn’t even work immediately when out NBN drops. What are we even paying extra for? Fix your trash Telstra 😡😡 @Telstra
-
Nicole Kennedy 🇦🇺 (@kennedylnicole) reportedCan't help but think about what insights Suttons, BMR, Chubb, Apec and Siemans received working for LendLease on Westpac, Telstra and all other major banks🤔
-
David (@dwilliamson931) reported@fakemetrotrains Much more competent then anything Metro can provide. It almost outdoes Telstra for being so customer unfocused
-
M_a_r_ke (@Ma_rk_e) reported@IceStationSpmda @fag_daughter Telstra has been paid for decades to provide a payphone service it cost more to fix vandalism then Telstra collected in call revenue, it's simply cheaper to make it free

Dave Jones (@eevblog) reportedI found out what the problem was, the entire building is down. NBN backbone issue, so it's not the ISP. Found a guy in the building that runs a mobile repeater business for buildings like this and he has official contacts with Telstra who say it's going to be down for the whole long weekend. Everyone in the building is struggling with phone access. He's going to put a proposal into strata (handily, that's me!) to install mobile repeaters in the building and also the basement carpark. I said I'll approve it.

ann hyland (@annhyland101) reportedSo, even though there’s a world wide **** storm that is ******* world economies, Telstra just messaged to say they are increasing my mobile phone cost. **** Telstra. @Telstra
-
DBMG 🇦🇺 (@dbmgreen) reported@james00000001 NBN 50000km of new copper wire $.7bil Now Telstra/NBN have to retrofit secure pits to stop people stealing the copper. Not a problem with all fibre. The LNP completely screwed AUS all the while paying their mates millions to manage it. #industrialisedcorruption

Jackson (@jacksondavis316) reported@talyasalem Valid haha. The Telstra whistling one when you're getting belted is the worst too
-
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 :(
-
TheGrassman (@TheGrassmanVT) reported@Telstra My Dearest Matthew, Thank you for reaching out to my tweet of frustration and anger, i would like to first apologize for calling Telstra a nerd. while i did not expect a response i will gladly reply with the status of my network.
-
Roansome (@roansome) reported@teslaownersSV I'm looking forward to this service coming to Australia. **** Telstra and Optus...

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

Dale Pilling (Him, He, good bloke mate) ⚓️💜⚓️💜 (@Freo_Dale) reported@TravGee1980 @Telstra I’ve gone Woolworths, uses the Telstra network, got 6 months for $130.
-
MetOshi (@met_oshi) reported@RealMetroLounge @WindsorDebs Optus and Vodafone had to rely on Telstra, since Telstra owned the network. It wasn't until the government set up a service and bought back the network that things started to change
-
Michelle Burrows (@ChelleAB) reportedI’ll second this. I note Albanese has no issue shackling the ALP’s NBN around our necks despite Telstra either.
-
Aussie Diana S 🇦🇺 (@DFactualists) reportedBloody @Telstra again!! Click to open My Telstra app won't work again all the bs name dob pw us ffs! Imagine some old person having this trouble every few weeks.
-
Suey (@sueytweets) reported@Mr_Fanta_Pants @Telstra Get Boost Prepaid Mobile. Same network at $300 a year
-
Lilen (@Lilens) reported@chopwisegamji @BobBurn97207272 No infrastructure build is complete lie though, what about West Connex and Bruce highway. Upgrade on Adelaide Hospital, Footscray hospitals and NBN ( never liked it) all done during last 29 years. And don’t forget labour sold of remaining Telstra ownership on 2011!! Come at me
-
Marko Matvikov (@MarkoMatvikov) reported@OTheChad Telstra is about as bad a company as I’ve ever had the displeasure of dealing with. All care, no responsibility.

George 🦊 (@PossiblyGeorge) reported@FOXFOOTY The Jim's Mowing Wildcard Round The Bunnings Wildcard Round The McDonalds Wildcard Round The AAMI Wildcard Round The Telstra Wildcard Round The Coles Wildcard Round The Chemist Warehouse Wildcard Round And it all still sucks. Bin it
-
Far Canal 😏 (@FarCanall) reportedReally unsure, but I’ve seen the same sort of buffoons rise to the top at Aust Post, Telstra, etc. The phrase “**** floats to the Top” is pretty common in Govt Industies. Good thing is, once they get there, their incompetence is exposed for all to see. Nowhere to hide.
-
noni (@bnkn62) reportedwhy did my telstra plan go up another $4 💀 I'm downgrading **** this
-
Chuck Stone (@chuckastone) reported@AussieVal10 It took Telstra, a lot of gold sold at record low prices by an idiot treasurer, and who-knows-what-else, to pay off that $96 billion. It's never about productivity; always about short-sighted asset fire sales in this country, and it needs to stop.
