  • hairypoofta hairy barefoot poofta ☣️ (@hairypoofta) reported

    @SlurqdFN @Telstra **** you, ****.

  • tggtech1 Tgg (@tggtech1) reported

    @theramalmedia Woolworths mobile and belong both have similar deals and run of Telstra so the internet isn't bad

  • BrettShearwood Brett Shearwood (@BrettShearwood) reported

    @ordsomefarmer @Telstra @Telstra systems are filtering out any complaints about reception. Their automated systems have a bug, and loop to the coverage map that is out of date. The only way to check a service at the moment is through the ombudsman.

  • _kennmendoza #TMS2 (@_kennmendoza) reported

    press releases: *trashes how Telstra is so bad* me: haha wait and see how PLDT is the worst!!

  • Gary_AE Gary Austin-Eames (@Gary_AE) reported

    @Telstra Just to make you aware, this is still to be resolved. I'm convinced the only solution will be to move to Optus, since no one with any sort of technical knowledge answers me, just your Indian operators who can only follow a script.

  • Aussie_Mew Donna (@Aussie_Mew) reported

    @Telstra is the message bank down? Cause I keep calling it and it hangs up immediately.

  • calebsfavourite Calebsfavourite 🐁🐀🐁 (@calebsfavourite) reported

    I’m about to ditch Telstra. Other Aussie big things I’ve ditched are banks, Qantas, the LNP*. *I never had the LNP

  • eamonxmatthews Eamon (@eamonxmatthews) reported

    @lochlanrocks Ahhh yep. I recall the cheap movie tickets etc. the rest must have come in after I long left telstra for the somehow even worse service of Optus

  • johnyjam3s JohnyJ@m3s (@johnyjam3s) reported

    @mariewalsh18 Hope God and the poor prick aren't with Telstra, otherwise they're gonna be prayin' for a miracle!

  • leaveM3be1 Leave M3 Be (@leaveM3be1) reported

    @Telstra With making a new account it won't let me past the email and password creation. Saying to click the "I'm human" box. I can't sign in to my older account and it leaves me with a "try again in a few minutes"

  • ZZiillaa Zziillaa ⭐️ *Icon of free choice* (@ZZiillaa) reported

    I live in Broken Hill and I’m more than lucky if I can contact my husband when he is 90km away and 20km this side of Menindee. Both @Telstra of course ... not to mention almost non existent internet when out there 🤬

  • impassive Luke H (@impassive) reported

    @GDixon1977 Mustn't forget that Hawke and Keating, with the support of their rich media mates, opened the door to it all when they sold off Commbank and began privatising Telstra and QANTAS. Howard just finished the job.

  • AgentBasil Kim Fitzgerald (@AgentBasil) reported

    Roger from "Telstra Service Centre" just rang! I said "How are you today, Roger?" and he hung up on me !

  • Johns_Analytics John's (Brackets) (@Johns_Analytics) reported

    @sgrkerr @warri_symbol @SkyRacingAU Way ahead of you. Have Telstra 5G Home Internet. Bombs along at 300-600Mbs, too, so not a speed issue.

  • cimboc76 Clint Martin (@cimboc76) reported

    @Telstra Have restarted both my iPhone and iPad and still not working. You’re website as I type still says it’s down…

  • Gary_AE Gary Austin-Eames (@Gary_AE) reported

    @Telstra INC 19091470 and INC 19077564. It's already gone to level 2 and reported to the TIO because I'm sick of the poor service.

  • agriweiss agriweiss.io (@agriweiss) reported

    @ordsomefarmer @Telstra Hi Christian, if this helps we are happy to offer you a trial to a solution that doesn’t rely on Telstra’s network. 99.99% success rate with data collection.

  • 184WB WDB (@184WB) reported

    @Telstra @ordsomefarmer @Telstra Multiple days of the prime communication network in a remote area that you are solely responsible for being down is NOT "working hard". Work harder.

  • rtrisheleanor Trish Roberts (@rtrisheleanor) reported

    Email not working this morning. Patient Telstra guy on phone but ultimately we both gave up. 😿Visit to Telstra store tomorrow. 📲📞🤳What do people do who live distance from Telstra shop?😲

  • impassive Luke H (@impassive) reported

    @julessz71 @GDixon1977 My bad. It was Gillard that sold off the last govt stake in Telstra but it was Howard that started it, continuing the selling of of the family silver that H&K began and normalised.

  • Wonderwoman1967 Mandy (@Wonderwoman1967) reported

    @Telstra apparently the issue is resolved...bullshit it is! Can't make or receive phonecalls! Not good enough!

  • Shogan_Scrub @Neil from Down Under (@Shogan_Scrub) reported

    @GDixon1977 @alex_bainbridge @WhteRbbnAdvocat 1/2 - Telstra as a whole should never have been privatised either, instead it should have remained the sole communications infrastructure builder, provider & wholesaler.

  • 184WB WDB (@184WB) reported

    @Telstra @ordsomefarmer Hey @Telstra - in a remote location like this, no mobile network can be a life or death issue. Extract digit, get it prioritised, and get it fixed pronto. 4 days' outage is ludicrous and unacceptable.

  • petermclarty 💧 Data Dot 🏠 Now with improved 5G - Jingeri (@petermclarty) reported

    @Telstra We had a glitch earlier which had rectified itself came back to check again that it loaded ok and it wasn't. No service issues at our end now that need I help with

  • WorldOfMarkyD ♑️ Mark 👊🏻 🎶🍽👽🌋🏉 (@WorldOfMarkyD) reported

    Telstra “customer service” is utterly disgraceful I wasted 2hrs on a call yesterday, the matter seemed to be finally sorted after all that yet the same issue still continues today, so I guess they lied to me as I tweet i’ve been on hold for 55 minutes.. spoken to nobody yet 🤬

  • tazbandicoot Tazbandicoot (@tazbandicoot) reported

    @HandleComplaint @Telstra Still no internet, had enough of talking to the “help chat” every week the date changes to the next week, they can’t even tell me what the problem is. also the new modem still hasn’t arrived, time to look into switching to a new provider

  • ordsomefarmer Christian Bloecker (@ordsomefarmer) reported

    Hey @Telstra any chance you could fix the 4G tower in Kununurra, or at a bare minimum, inform us why the tower is down & when it will be fixed? It’s been out for 4 days now. For a communications provider you don’t communicate very well #timefortheombudsman #again

  • BARGH3ST bone music (@BARGH3ST) reported

    @Telstra it is 8pm on a Wednesday and I cannot load my bank's login page, can't get into a database site for work, can barely load Twitter - off either wifi or mobile data. WHAT is the problem?? The speed never used to be THIS bad, even at peak hour

  • gregchampion Greg Champion (@gregchampion) reported

    Congratulations Commonwealth Bank. Your "customer service" is now worse than Telstra's - the gold standard, in the race to the bottom. Australia's most shameful. You've been trying hard for this. You must be proud.

    @Telstra Hi, can't sign into or create a new my Telstra account. Is there an issue atm?
