Telstra Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
MR Reilly (@mrr78504) reported@econoadabsurdam @LeeRespecter The NBN might plausibly have increased productivity if it had retained its original scope (A FTTN fibre backbone network independent of Telstra that would allow telecommunication companies to compete on an equal footing). Instead it got rolled out first in Tasmania.
-
Sifu Strider (@RayzSkieyWalker) reportedAussies need Starlink, it is far faster, more reliable and more secure than the Telstra backbone - which FYI is open access to bad actor hackers who get into your PC via INSECURE modem design.
-
SNOOPREY (@SNOOPREY77) reported@Telstra No buffering issues but it was stuttering but again today is not what I was complaining about
-
Depresso Martini ♥︎♡︎ (@algorithmsayshi) reportedSwitched home internet providers cause Telstra were actually insane lmao but now when connected to my AGL wifi it doesn't let me watch any NBA on my NBA app and this message just shows up. I have tried trouble shooting it and I've even ventured onto Reddit for help but nothing works 😩🥴 I literally pay a yearly fee to watch NBA games so not sure why they're cockblocking me! I've turned VPN **** off and on. I can watch when my wifi is off still 😣
-
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
-
RochfordAlexAR (@rochfordalexAR) reported@bazingashane0 @Telstra Can't register as a business account cause don't have an ABN. case manager is trying to address my complaint by setting up an onsite technician. . . . To address what is essentially a contract dispute. Onsite tech won't be able to do jack for me on Monday, unless he can
-
OzSeahawksFan (@OzSeahawks) reported@Telstra absolute garbage, non-existent customer service (overseas idiots that dont understand english). Pathetic!!!
-
Clay Waters (@louiewaterss) reportedPhysically walked in to a @Telstra store to buy the new modem and they literally would not let me buy it. I have to ring up and enquire about it. What kind of system is that? You have the modem on display. It's in stock. I want to buy it. I'm a decade long customer! Joke
-
RedFive (@RedFiveynwa) reported@aussiExau @AFL @Telstra Who ******** are you even talking to
-
Jayden (@Ballzzzz16) reported@Telstra @Optus Kingsfield in sunbury 3429, they confirmed a 4g and 5g outage and have no idea know when it will be fixed
-
Steve Williams (@therandomswill) reported@Telstra Thanks Febey. Sadly still not working. It’s a simple fix, not sure why it hasn’t been done after five days.
-
Jumbarrawa (@jumbarrawa) reported@SocialPiranha3 @Telstra They sell chunks of lines to other companies that sell the lines cheaper. and offer better service how is that possible >
-
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.
-
Doctor Vadar Who (@DoctorVadarWho) reported@Telstra when are you going to support RCS for iPhone in Australia because I would like to have it so green bubbles don't mess up group messages @Apple
-
Jay Jay (@JayJay1094727) reported@lightgolightly @AlanBixter @Telstra When you have tech trouble in Thailand, do you have to negotiate with an ai chat bot?
-
Matai James Turner (@62DesertEagle) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaThank you telecommunications ombudsman and Telstra for the correct information and waving fees and bills being distributed by ANZ+ digital platforms I'll be ******* you off tomorrow **** Digital Platforms and ID
-
Kuldeep Sharma (@Kuldeep3085720) reported@Telstra I buy second hand device now any chance ? My phone is network lock country lock
-
Ben (@beninthecapita1) reportedIt’s funny how Telstra has never really rebranded despite their logo, looking like it was made using Microsoft paint.
-
Kmoz (@imKMOZ) reported@shivjam @AllieHollyS Do belong!!! They have $35, $45 I believe and $55 and the $55 has HEAPS of data and you can keep your number and it’s still on Telstra network
-
JoshAtticus (@joshatticus) reported@itsiclassic Like I would've just gone and called support from one of the free Telstra payphones if I'd known it was gonna take that long and the store couldn't do anything
-
ARTCvan 🍉 (@ARTCvan) reported@frokfrdk don't forget Telstra/TPG/Optus might just block it from the network for no reason either... expensive *** paper weight
-
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.
-
Mark Sareff (@MarkSareff) reported@Telstra 1 Calvert Avenue Killara. Shows nbn out. Trouble is I have low mobile data allowance and depend on wifi
-
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.
-
Frau (@AuFrau4655) reported@1234jscot @Rainmaker1973 They can. In Australia my company phone is on Telstra Business. I have never received a single spam call in the many years I have had it. My personal phone on a cheap network on the other hand....
-
M (@imboudee) reported@Justme136160 @robb_j_m To be fair, David is not wrong. Telcos will use the NBN infrastructure as they see fit. It’s cheaper to pay to use the NBN infrastructure that is already there than to lay down their own fibre. In fact, telcos like Optus and Telstra are already NBN providers.
-
Conrad (@SdadMyself) reported@SkyNewsAust Every business contributes tax revenue to the government, and extending the licence ‘could’ help raise additional funds. Will this create more jobs, or lead to layoffs like we’ve seen at Telstra and the big four banks, taking into consideration in the current climate?
-
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?
-
WTF have you done to us now (@melissajay77418) reported@BrowntownBrew @robb_j_m Some people paid for full fibre to afterward be told connection in that area is still to direct to node & were in a dead spot. Telstra occasionally do a few upgrades but it never really fixes anything. Its a big country, we don't all live in the city.
-
Dominic Villa SC (@DominicVillaSC) reported@dowhatonemustdo @Telstra I was on a plane so couldn't use that service. But having been told it was either because of my plan or because of my modem, they then said they could just activate it at their end...which they could have done 4 hours ago
