Telstra Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • tw1tteringclass Canowindra Curmudgeon (@tw1tteringclass) reported

    @azzaishotstuff @Optus Mate you should try being in rural NSW. We have been out for 3 days. Optus expert says its NBNCo problem. NBN can't get to us until 15 July so no phones or intertube until then apparently Only a telstra mobile hotspot to fallback on. We are not in remote area.

  • apiyo_dreaming Jordan -apiyo- (@apiyo_dreaming) reported

    @Telstra Carlton North 3054. Regularly getting texts notifying me of a voicemail when the call never came through. And regularly unable to make outbound calls. See the other twitter reply for someone else with similar issues apparently.

  • yeahthevic Victoria (@yeahthevic) reported

    @DentePresi Yeah I’m on my work phone which is Telstra and no problems at all

  • 4embracinglife Melanie (@4embracinglife) reported

    @s3_gunzel @Optus Entire NBN network looks like.. Telstra & others having issues too

  • ScooobyDoh DoobusScoobus (@ScooobyDoh) reported

    @geoffrey_payne Don't about the NBN,that was a manipulation by Telstra to obtain $10 Billion for the use of the Copper in preference to Fibre.If Telstra maintained the customer on any Copper ADSL service,other providers would be barred from taking it(law).Fibre was a detriment to Telstra revenue

  • louisepowell77 Louise Powell (@louisepowell77) reported

    @Matt62485467 @Optus No way! @Telstra has the worst customer service known to man!!!

  • ZucchiniBikini Empress Zucchini (@ZucchiniBikini) reported

    @MarkOMeara Neither! Everything was fine but they put off replying to me as they were heading into a movie, then phone was off. By the time they emerged from movie, there was a Telstra outage in area and couldn't send or receive. They were apologetic for not having replied when they saw msg

  • break_something Poida Says #Silver (@break_something) reported

    Optus internet and mobile service is out. How are they tweeting about it being out? Do they have a Telstra account for backup??

  • Darshy11 Darshy (@Darshy11) reported

    @9NewsSyd pathetic service from #optus ....signed with them 1 weeks back changing back to Telstra

  • arsenharriss Arsén (@arsenharriss) reported

    @7NewsSydney @Optus Vodafone network was down while ago and I switched to Optus. Now, their network is down. Hello @Telstra do you want me?

  • crispi_1971 Chris Wells 🇬🇧🇦🇺♋ Ⓥ♋ (@crispi_1971) reported

    @Telstra The problem's not the WiFi. The problem is that Telstra Velocity is speed capped at 5Mbps max upload speed. No excuse. It's FTTP. When's my 2000/1000Mbps link coming, @Telstra? 12 year old 100/5 just doesn't cut it. #Bigpond #Bigpong.

  • RWS_01 Richard W Smith (@RWS_01) reported

    @CEO_TBD @BenRigbyJourno @lawsocgazette We are still trying to get our heads around Amazon reviews - probably jaded by all those Telstra customer surveys

  • apiyo_dreaming Jordan -apiyo- (@apiyo_dreaming) reported

    @Telstra I don't use the app. If there's another way, let me know. Otherwise no dramas I'll see if it fixes itself / I'll factory reset to make sure it's not a software issue. Could of course just be planned obsolescence, since various other basic phone features are starting to play up :/

  • stephengentle Stephen Gentle (@stephengentle) reported

    @Eli89637688 @ClownyHobo @beneltham He acted against the advice of all relevant experts in the field. The only people on board with his vision were those with a vested interest (like Telstra execs who wanted to get rid of their failing copper network on the public dime)

  • Darshy11 Darshy (@Darshy11) reported

    @NovaStar77 i signed up 1 week back, very poor service, changing back to Telstra

  • eff__mitch some sox (@eff__mitch) reported

    @Telstra - Your app breaks whenever I try to pay my bill - My Telstra crashes whenever I try to pay my bill - "Pay your bill" form crashes whenever I try to pay from there - I paid over the phone last week, never went through - Complaints form crashes too For two weeks now.

  • FlatGrey 💧MurrayGrey (@FlatGrey) reported

    @telstra my prepaid service has lost all its data and connection this morning. It was on auto recharge but Telstra has just changed plan. How can I get it fixed?

  • ScooobyDoh DoobusScoobus (@ScooobyDoh) reported

  • CassieP54800776 Cassie Parks B.Nursing Grad Cert Nurs(Crit Care) (@CassieP54800776) reported

    @Telstra Hi Lauren I spent an hour on the phone last night trying to sort out the problem. Telstra promised they would call back today - they didn’t call. Called them again today and they have no record of my call..,.,

  • DentePresi PresiDente (@DentePresi) reported

    @yeahthevic Yes. The whole Optus network is down. Telstra seems to be fine

  • nathgaus Nathan (@nathgaus) reported

    @yeahthevic Yep. I switched from Telstra to @Optus a few months back, not a wise decision. Coverage sucks.

  • CassieP54800776 Cassie Parks B.Nursing Grad Cert Nurs(Crit Care) (@CassieP54800776) reported

    @Telstra I have never had an overdue bill so why am I expected to be penalised for other people who don’t pay their bills. Do I get a benefit for being in credit. No. I am penalised for doing the right thing.

  • coinspiracy17 Qryptsoner 🌱 (@coinspiracy17) reported

    Just had a state wide network outage here in Sydney for Telstra and Optus. First the Australian major banks have an outage 2 weeks ago and now this? Too maybe events happening for all this to be a coincidence.

  • apiyo_dreaming Jordan -apiyo- (@apiyo_dreaming) reported

    Is anyone else recently getting a lot of "network busy" type errors when trying to make mobile calls? I'm on Telstra and it's getting kind of out of hand.

  • vijayarumugam Vijay Arumugam (@vijayarumugam) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus It looks like the Optus telephony is back. The Optus NBN is still down, now for over an hour. It's a nightmarish morning for Teams calls. What's the ETA? I'm managing my work with my mobile hotspot with Telstra. Those who have Optus mobile internet have no plan B.

  • tyroga Tyroga (@tyroga) reported

    @Optus So even though it is going to cost more, I'll be moving to @telstra anyway because the service is too unreliable from @optus. I see now it also includes "some" people in SA too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • yungjxesh 🤡 (@yungjxesh) reported

    @LonerDefi @Optus @Telstra Telstra ******* sucks

  • parryea Parry (@parryea) reported

    @Kogan ordered, reordered, had my delivery returned twice due to an incorrect label and now have to wait again for the item to be dispatched. I get there are delays because of lockdown orders - but telstra can deliver the next day, is there a bigger issue here?#koganfail

  • Alex_Reaver Alex (@Alex_Reaver) reported

    @LorettaWillaton Hi Loretta, I was wondering if you had any news about a Telstra tower at Casey Fields. We are desperate for some reception in Clyde. No Telco's seem to want to service the area.

  • Samanth51447741 Sam (@Samanth51447741) reported

    @Optus hello why is the system down? And why have you not notified customers? This is ridiculous. Atleast give us a time estimate. If you don’t make another announcement with updates soon I’m buying a Telstra sim and never looking back at you.
