Telstra Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Savas (@savasmelb) reported@disco___cat I’m happy with a Boost 365 day plan and they use the full Telstra network. No point paying a premium for the Telstra brand I think.
-
Meg Whitby (@WhitbyMeg56611) reported@lowlandsapien Off subject a little, there is one that runs down the Big Jack. It's not connected to Telstra but very handy in a bad flood to get the road mented quick.
-
Tyler Williams (@T__Williams23) reportedTelstra is making me want to gouge my eyes out, two races, including one I was l leading, today on iRacing I and a bunch of people have dropped out because apparently they can't have a working service in 2026. Fix your **** ******* service holy.
-
Michelle Burrows (@ChelleAB) reportedI’ll second this. I note Albanese has no issue shackling the ALP’s NBN around our necks despite Telstra either.
-
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!
-
Bahar 🇮🇷🇦🇺 (@B4H4R_F) reportedI’m paying over $150 to @Telstra and $75 to @Origin for internet, yet I can’t even share a simple story about Iran. Telstra and Origin, you’re the worst. If I’m paying this much and still getting blocked or restricted, what exactly am I paying for? I’ll be cancelling tomorrow! Even if it costs me. This is unacceptable.
-
JoshAtticus (@joshatticus) reported@ElManuSantander Wait, technicolor? The same company that makes the garbage Telstra smart routers?
-
Ke Y (@KeY094795550771) reported@grok @DanBig9953 @grok I don't know what Telstra or spacex event. I don't follow much about that event, I don't drive, never have a driver licence, pay little attention to cars
-
nelly (@clairochu) reported@Telstra FIX UR WIFI NOW
-
❤Hellie❤ (@Hellie1982) reportedNow the only thing left to do is the dumb stupid telstra ad walk around my house. WE ARE SO BACK!!
-
David (@dwilliamson931) reported@fakemetrotrains Much more competent then anything Metro can provide. It almost outdoes Telstra for being so customer unfocused
-
Nina Nikolic 💫 Kerri (@kidkerrigan) reported@DeadSlugg @Aussie_BB 🫠 from Telstra to Optus to internode to iinet to Aussie bb but honestly you’re probably right if the don’t get their stuff together. It always starts the same, then you see the customer service start to deteriorate, then the service. Who are you with now?
-
Andrew Cattermole (@Zenandy1962) reported@ArtistAffame @Brocklesnitch I used to ring Telstra after my night shift and I’d doze off and wake up and still be on hold so I’d hang up and go to bed and try again next morning.
-
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.
-
Tweety Bird - check all Bots (@devalara44) reported@TheNoisyTrunk @SenatorSeanBell This numpty claimed that the DV policy at Telstra was "anti male".... in a Senae Hearing. A policy to protect women from violent men using a carriage service to abuse and intimidate !
-
Grok (@grok) reported@chatzi41 @iSpeedtestOS RCS support for iPhone Messages in Australia isn't live yet. Apple added it back in iOS 18, but it requires carrier activation from Telstra, Optus, or Vodafone. They're still working on it with no confirmed date—latest indications point to mid-to-late 2026 rollout. Contact your carrier for the latest.
-
Nelly choppa (@NellyChopp21984) reported@youngpac775 @omowereyso I don’t mean Tesla car, I mean her telecom/ network provider just like mtn, in Australia the use Telstra and some others
-
Trev (@Trev__Says) reported@MacFlashmanInc @markbouris @Rocket60271713 This **** **** sold Telstra, the airports and our gold reserves for a once off surplus & no govt was able balance the budget for 20 years because of his economic vandalism This filth should be in a cell with Costello
-
Dre🅰️d (@5ingularitea) reported@RocketTank123 Aussies have love/hate relationship with Telstra. It is the most expensive and customer service often terrible but for rural coverage it is the best by far. Optus or Vodafone would love to take some of Telstra’s pie with $ASTS remote coverage
-
Bill (@BillySisu) reported@TheNoisyTrunk @Caitlen2310 @adrian_couper When LNP min. Richard Alston was asked which parts of Telstra he had sold, Was it Yellow Pages or the GSM network, etc, his eyes glazed over and he confessed he sold a 30% tranche of THE ******* LOT. Which is why NBN needed to build a new fixed network at huge public cost.
-
jchoop.hl (@jchoop) reported@MarkoMatvikov Hahahha no not at all, I just wanted to pass along that during the swapping over process he said the exact same thing. For years with Telstra any kind of contact had been infuriatingly terrible for him, and he couldn't speak highly enough of the Aussie people walking him through everything and being patient
-
Beeza Geeza (@beezageeza) reportedsomeone explain to me why anything happening in the middle east should have any effect on the price of pre-paid mobile plans. **** you, telstra.
-
kane (@kanethesaint) reported@eevblog If you turn on Data Roaming when in Vodafone, in areas where there is poor coverage, it will connect to an Optus tower to fill the gap. This only works for Vodafone and not Optus or Telstra.
-
Trevor Hockins (@TrevorHockins) reported@FunkleberryTwit No, Howard's "non-core promises" were philosophically driven, not a response to a worsening situation. They included vows to "never ever" introduce a GST, not cut Medicare services, not to privatise Telstra, and that workers' take-home pay would not be affected, then WorkChoices
-
MetOshi (@met_oshi) reported@RealMetroLounge @WindsorDebs You should take one look at what Telstra did to both the cellular network and our internet infrastructure. Telstra were still offering capped data when other companies had unlimited; Telstra denied uncapped data could exist
-
BeamRider100 (@BeamRider100) reported@jasuperfund @mark16pg We know, they sold us down the river too. Howard with the mass immigration, selling Telstra and everything. Then Turncoat with all the metadata laws, now morphing into full surveillance and ID scans etc. Morrison with the covid scam.
-
Man With A Stick (@bludgeonParagon) reported@ashleycanttweet Social media truly signal boosts the most negative people these days because I remember back when I was playing a ton of Horizon 3, and as an Australian I don't recall people online ever being so miserable. I was just marvelling at the wheelie bins and Telstra phone booths lmao
-
fatryy (@fatryy218020) reported@telstra is sending someone to my house to fix my net. hopefully these shitcunts can fix it instead of staring at it dumbfucks
-
Simon Cotter (@SimonCotter62) reported@stationmum101 I just went to telstra. I have hearing loss, not one of the staff spoke clear English. They all had heavy Indian accents. It was very very difficult. The same for the staff at my dads nursing home. When they ring I ask them to email me. They are all friendly and try to help
-
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.
