Telstra Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
It's A Hoax 🇦🇺 (@Itsahoax123) reported@KataKez Telstra can already spam everyone connected to cell tower without this ****. Think about the times when you have travelled somewhere and you get that text saying something like they are “doing work on this network over the next 5 days”
-
Amicus Curiae (@AmicusCuri99068) reportedoh yeah WE KNEW THAT! coverage went to **** and still IS!4gs ****** It’s true; the 3G shutdown created mobile coverage ghost towns Telstra chief executive Vicki Brady has revealed a Starlink workaround for Australians unable to call triple-0 after the 3G shutdown created mobile dead zones. (paywalled Tiser)
-
Christian (@truechristianh) reported@realRick_AUS Don’t hold your breath! The aus government will reprivatise Telstra and ban Starlink before that happens. We’ll get higher prices and a shitter service!
-
immyonboard (@immyonboard) reportedtelstra wifi network has went down for the 11th time in the past hour. it’s time to cut my losses, stop sucking up to a genuinely dogshit support service and move providers 💫 any recommendations? @Telstra who do i switch to?
-
Muzzamite (@muzzamite) reported@burkylie12 But when Telstra goes down, there is nothing! Suss from this criminal enterprise, ALP
-
deirdre ritchie (@deirdreritchi10) reported@CaveThunk @Aussie_Dad5 I didn't switch mine off to stop it and yet it didn't come through anyway. Telstra were doing work in the area. Interrupted service
-
Joseph Godridge (@jgodridge87) reported@7NewsSydney Good, I’d be happy to see the end of Telstra for their **** service and tip off plans.
-
Nagasaki Catholic Jedi (@M333111x2) reported@Matt_Camenzuli I report to you sleeping in my car using a Telstra pay phone free Internet hotspot. **** is far far far more dire than most wish to wake up to. I see it every night when others are comfy in bed in a home. Far more people are living tough than anyone realises — they ‘come out’ once people ‘go in’ — because otherwise they get told to move on. And they’re gone in the am before people know. SEVERE HARD TIMES are here.
-
Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@CrySlyFly @ialihasaan @Batman2242 Telstra were unwilling to structurally separate to allow the infrastructure side of the business build the new network. Telecom had plans to do fibre upgrades but got shelved when they became privatised.
-
💧Daren Connor 🇦🇺 (@connor_daren) reported@Telstra you send me messages to say the network is having issues & use wifi calling but if the network is having issues which affects my devices then how the hell do I use wifi calling when there’s no network? How long will this be going on? This is the 4th day of these messages
-
BrownSquirrel (@BrownSquirrel) reportedEffing @telstra. just had half hr with agent. tried to redeem 2 gift cards. 1 went thru other didnt BUT they took points for both. Their fix? Wait 24 hours if 2nd confirmation doesnt show up get back in touch with them. Seriously? Should have gone straight thru like 1st one did
-
Gary Just (@GaryJust67) reported@RoadknightThe No my partner & I never got it either. We with Telstra…
-
Kråke (@Kroke14) reported@TruthFairy131 @Qantas are using the smoke screen of AI adoption to make offshoring Australian jobs to India more palatable while trying to portray itself as an Australian company. This **** seems to accelerate whenever there is an incompetent female CEO at the helm, just look at @Telstra
-
Anna Basic (@AnnaBasic2) reported@RoadknightThe Yes but no even text message ping let alone some type of alarm they where carrying on about. My personal I pad and my work I pad both with cellular connections with Telstra never received a text at all or picked up on my phone receiving the message but no alarm. My Fitbit that gets all my texts didn’t get the text.
-
Gloria Balogh Gottlieb (@BaloghGottlieb) reported@sarahinthesen8 Sarah Hanson Young She who turns off comments had audacity to note Telstra should compensate customers EVEN IF UNABLE PROVE DAMAGE this GREEN idiot obviously does not understand reality life cost would be unjustifiable grotesque and unwarranted What imbecile.
-
Matthew Perrin (@MbPerrin) reported@teslaownersSV @grok will this include Aldi which piggybacks the Telstra network?
-
MsNobody (@MrsNobody21) reported@Telstra how disgusting, your handling of a legitimate complaint after the outage. Shame on you. With all of your profits you deny compensation for a service that still is t working.
-
dylan (@dylxrrno) reportedIs Telstra ******* down again
-
Annie W 🍷🌺 (🧵anniew1303) annie-w@bsky.social (@AnnieW1303) reported@JBollingmoore Recently we’ve had a Sorry from Origin, Harvey Norman and Telstra for ripping off customers, leaking customer info or failing to provide a service. Not good enough 🤬🤬
-
Charly Leetham (@charlyjl) reported@FranMooMoo This is clearly far more important than the Telstra network being down for hours. Or anything else that might improve Australia.
-
Josh (@joshatticus) reported@Netherby1866 @NikkiGemmell The government is stupid and didn't force the carriers to push the carrier bundles to older iPhones, so the ********* at Vodafail, Floptus and Telstra only pushed it to iOS 26.4 and later! Android devices got it fine though
-
Dr Ravi Nayyar (@ravirockks) reported'This is despite Allens never asking Telstra this and strict rules about firms’ consulting and auditing arms not discussing clients.
-
Chris (@Chrisjstony) reported@gjblue With about 180 new Appartmemts built less than 100mtrs from me in the past 10 years. Telstra bandwidth has failed. Telstra could not give a ****
-
'Dave Freer (@davefreersf) reported@RoadknightThe I got it. Telstra - **** service all week - but worked for this.
-
Hector Savage (@King_Hipp0) reported@danderfield Telstra Dome first? I can't remember, I keep calling it Etihad or Docklands though, have never called it Marvel Stadium
-
LJR (@Watchingbrief21) reported@Telstra @AnikaWells When customers have issues/questions requiring clarification regarding their Telstra plans (formerly owned by Aust Govt!) why are we still being sent to international call centres???
-
Tyrone (@TRT_Revisited) reported********'s a Marvel Stadium. We only know the Telstra Dome in this house.
-
Josh (@joshatticus) reported@immyonboard It was a complete failure. It is not in a good enough state to be released. Requiring iOS 26.4 or later is absolutely not acceptable. The government is stupid and didn't force the carriers to push the carrier bundles to older iPhones, so the ********* at Vodafail, Floptus and Telstra only pushed it to iOS 26.4 and later! Android devices got it fine though
-
💎mia🎹🇦🇺 (@msamethyst) reported@Telstra is so useless. My call to japan was being cut off at 15 min when I have a call pack which lets me call unlimited. Everytime I log to chat with support. They said it’s my mobile phone issue. 4 months on I got annoyed and lodged a complaint with TIO.
-
Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@CrySlyFly @ialihasaan @Batman2242 Telstra didn't want to bid as Sol Trulijio hated Labor. They ended up not putting in a valid proposal. The other bidders weren't able to provide bids with sufficient financial support.
