Telstra Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Will G (@willgotsis) reported@Gatty54 Worst part was, we called Telstra the next day to say it was fraudulent as payment pending, long story they said we’ll stop it, no they didn’t, 3 days later payment cleared. Others were good and cancelled. In the end we got all our money back, but what a pain in the arse.
-
Pat Fenis (@BigStrawDog) reported@kai_h @algorithmsayshi Tried this, it has us located in Sydney for some reason. While the modem was updating the DNS it restarted and my phone connected back to our old Telstra net which had us accurately located in Victoria. Def AGL/eero issue from troubleshooting
-
SNOOPREY (@SNOOPREY77) reported@Telstra You guys providing inadequate service is not something I should be trouble shooting it’s something you guys should be doing
-
Trev (@Trev__Says) reported@gaganghotra_ @DanielPriestley The economic vandal **** **** sold everything which was noylt nailed down for a once off surplus to impress these pin heads Our gold reserve, Telstra, the airports all gone in a fire sale He belongs in a cell
-
Alan Baxter ♛ (@AlanBixter) reported@ArealHughes I am being billed for a Telstra account that does not exist. How much am I billed? Nothing. It does not exist, so there is no service. But the idiots at Telstra dutifully bill me every month. I have been into their shop 4 times trying to kill this account.
-
Dave Jones (@eevblog) reportedNow tweeting from my lab machine again with very basic Optus 5G internet. Will have to upload video and stuff from home, but otherwise I'm kinda functional again. No idea when NBN/Telstra will restore the connection, it's been 3 days already so I assume it's very bad. Today is Sunday and tomorrow is another public holiday.
-
RochfordAlexAR (@rochfordalexAR) reported@bazingashane0 @Telstra My case manager is lovely. Very polite, very professional. Genuinely wants to help. I can't fault the excellent customer service. Still has piss poor reading comprehension though. I feel sorry for the poor sod, I have twenty years in I.T. and communications, a lot of it
-
EmptyJr⭐️🔭🐝 (COMMS-Closed) (@Empty_jr) reportedAnd I am on Telstra but they're price gouging and they Suck and I did attempt after their last price hike to leave but it's like. Oh if you are in a regional area literally noone else can help you. I see. Think there's a word for that that rhymes with schmonopoly
-
TaxFodder (@Coldhardface) reported@belinduhpyne There was little left to sell after Hawke and Keating sold federal and state assets in their Privatisation rampage. Key assets sold under the Hawke government included: The Commonwealth Bank of Australia Qantas Telstra CSL These sales were part of a broader strategy that also involved floating the Australian dollar, deregulating financial markets, and dismantling the tariff system. While critics argued this abandoned traditional Labor values and contributed to issues like increased household debt, supporters view these reforms as essential modernizations that 'strengthened' the Australian economy. We're real strong now eh?
-
Mayura (@mayuuuuuuuu_26) reported@Jason______A @the_don1722 The difference will be the level of support you get etc. have similar setups here where telstra (t mobile in Aus) own budget mobile companies. And you get pretty much the same package for much cheaper but lose access to their support etc.
-
Paws and Willow (@pawsandwillow) reported@Telstra why is my site blocked on your network!!! I have contacted Telstra soo many times with every worker Ive spoken to tell me to fill in a form and wait… this is costing my business money!!!
-
Angry G (@PissedOfAussie) reported@Telstra twice this week you have sent me an email re network updates and service interruptions, both times 40 minutes after the scheduled start time, both times interruptions already under way. How does this help someone working from home on those days? I'll tell you, it doesnt.
-
Liza Geddes (@GeddesLiza) reported@robb_j_m I can only get adsl or starlink Has a convo with Telstra the other day, it’s like, only fibre to the node will work in my tiny remnant forest Or you keep my adsl functioning, because I’m not doing any Elon ****
-
Rodger John Riach (@RiachRodger) reportedABSOLUTE garbage John HOWARD / Peter Costello with the VITAL votes of Barn A bee Joyce & Tasmanian Independent Senators Telstra SOLD OFF along with all future Revenue Joyce COST Aus way more that his worth
-
Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@RichardTheLegit @robb_j_m Leaptel. All the big RSPs are terrible because they know they get customers just because of the name. Leaptel typically outperforms Telstra even during peak periods.
-
Allison Online 💾 (50 Hours Free) (@IceStationSpmda) reportedoh **** now Telstra is emailing me about the phones
-
homiesexual (@MelGivson2) reported@IceStationSpmda Damn it, reinstalling far cry 3 to find all the telstra payphones on the island
-
peter rowe (@Prowerock1) reported@AvidCommentator I have abandoned NBN. Service is atrocious as it is mediated through the Telcos. You can’t get to an NBN tech directly. They cancelled five appointments made for me via Telstra saying not an NBN problem. But it was just like the other three times. Now have Telstra 5 G. So simple
-
Dane Trethowan (@grtdane) reported@OttavioMCMLXI I conversed with Telstra AI the other day to resolve an issue with my account and was pleasantly surprised.
-
Sy (@Sy8799465978734) reported@DrewPavlou @GeraldPimm The issue is when the state goes into debt it sells its assets. Gov used to own most necessary infrastructure like Telstra,sec,ports etc. When they need $ they sell.
-
RochfordAlexAR (@rochfordalexAR) reportedDo I need to be an ABN holder or otherwise registered as a business to try one of @Telstra 's business internet plans? If I try a business internet plan, is it going to mess up my residential phone service? Would I be forced to replace my modem?
-
Robyn (@RobynAMilne) reported@arbsmichael Howard sold off flogged off Telstra even though he told us only half & then came back for the rest, he wasted the mining boom. Oh, and Howard’s crowning glory was to flog off our gas for a song so we pay exorbitant prices for decades. Howard a major fail even Costello agreed.
-
ichi (@ichimikichiki) reported@Lisa9Sophia He's just an idiot. Remember when he added double the cost to the NBN because he wanted to use broken copper network in a corruption deal to bail out Telstra / Rupert Murdoch.
-
Max (@Max51973563529) reported@AFL @Telstra How ******** did Lindsay not get it?
-
💦Lynton G (@charger189) reported@JOKAQARMY1 Telstra in Australia is pushing 6G by 2030 they have been deliberately lowering the bandwidth so people demand a better service
-
Robert (@FootyfanRoberto) reported@RhysBlair10 @AFL @Telstra Slow you may want to check the tracker… bad luck drafting more injury prone duds
-
rowey_brolga (@Rowey_brolga) reported@stationmum101 I would have thought telstra had the good sense to keep their head down about this ,pot,kettle,black
-
LinksClone (@linksclone) reported@Empty_jr Its like they're trying to make telstra look better than them what a stupid *** ad.
-
RedFive (@RedFiveynwa) reported@aussiExau @AFL @Telstra Who ******** are you even talking to
-
Sam Rusty Rennie (@hairyredmanlet) reportedIt's worth remembering that the Howard Government paid down debt with asset sales rather than genuine fiscal conservatism, and this time around, there isn't a Telstra or Qantas to sell. That said, the spending binge from late 2007 onwards makes Howard look like Milei.
