Telstra Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • DrAndrewDixon Andrew Dixon (@DrAndrewDixon) reported

    @Telstra Hi @Telstra 6.5 hours of messages on the chat so far and still no further to a solution. Something that would have taken 10 mins on phone. Can you get someone to call me.

  • ThePurlBox The Purl Box (@ThePurlBox) reported

    @Telstra my fixed wireless nbn wrongly throttled for excess data when I am on an unlimited plan. Mobile data so poor at my address that I can’t access the app for help. Assistance would be appreciated

  • andrewcdash Andrew Dash (@andrewcdash) reported

    @Telstra - Your chat / messaging service via the MyTelstra app is appallingly bad. I have been trying to resolve an issue since February 2nd and am no further forward. Disgusting.

  • dieselmydog Roxy (@dieselmydog) reported

    What is happening we have no internet..nbn In Mascot You said there was a outage via message but still nothing hours later @Telstra

  • BasicSkelington Brennanananana (@BasicSkelington) reported

    @HighlySpammable I ended up giving up on Telstra due to technician wait times, but Optus already have a 5g home internet service which has been pretty solid so far, modem needs resetting far more often than desirable but so far so good

  • justjohnbriggs John Briggs (@justjohnbriggs) reported

    @DanielBallarin5 @Telstra @kiss You seem to have a problem with people living above you

  • justjohnbriggs John Briggs (@justjohnbriggs) reported

    @DanielBallarin5 @Telstra @kiss Nor should he. Do you have a problem with people being wealthy?

  • ConnorCJolley Bing Man (@ConnorCJolley) reported

    @DoveMetal Telstra, hands down. Aldi prepaid is an affordable option for being on the network, they roll over data too.

  • sincespacies ...SINCE SPACIES (@sincespacies) reported

    @unclechunt @Telstra Possibly. I'm in touch with Telstra now to try and resolve the problem.

  • crankydaks Cranky Pants (@crankydaks) reported

    @JodhiaKim @Telstra @acccgovau Last week I got told to wait 5 - 8 mins while they looked at my issue. One hour later I had to ask them if they were still there. I had to leave my mum's today while the agent was supposedly still typing to me for 30 mins. I asked if they were still alive and got no response.

  • psg_au Peter (@psg_au) reported

    @NBN_Australia We had 25Mbps on ADSL.... MORE on Cable from Telstra & Optus.... NBN Have broken what we had... They are providing a service which is WORSE and not meeting the Govt brief...

  • FGecolarge FG (@FGecolarge) reported

    @Telstra 2/2 checked for the specific address several times using another service - but no sign. NBN said and hence I could give up checking my networks for a problem. Key message to Telstra - provide accurate info, save customer time, be appreciated! Thanks for replying.

  • Adam_Goldman Adam (@Adam_Goldman) reported

    @LentilsLove @JamesSaretta @DrBlackVelvet Ok. Same Telstra deal. I dumped Telstra a while ago, saving far more than $20 a month with Aldi (on Telstra network)

  • ViSiOnS2 Melanie PurvisFoleti (@ViSiOnS2) reported

    @Telstra why has Telstra turned out to be one of the worse providers ever? Is there any problems with it tonight? I can’t get any internet service!!

  • bennybags Ben McCormick (@bennybags) reported

    @Telstra They just said it was a Telstra issue post saying it was a system issue at their end? It’s the most frustrating experience thanks

  • JodhiaKim Joshie Poloczek (@JodhiaKim) reported

    @crankydaks @Telstra @acccgovau That's it. They start the convo. With 20 mins wait until a response and you spend the whole time explaining the issue. Only to have them disappear and have a new rep ask you to repeat everything. Miss the old days when Telstra cared and had live chat. Now they just cause stress

  • wiggyagogo Wiggyagogo ™ (@wiggyagogo) reported

    @DrAndrewDixon @Telstra It’s terrible. I’ve been on chat since 830 this morning. Terrible service. Impossible to talk to anyone.

  • psg_au Peter (@psg_au) reported

    @NBN_Australia NOT Fit for purpose... Australia was better off with the old internet model... At least Telstra & Optus could provide Cable... Even ADSL was more reliable and in many cases FASTER then this crap called NBN. WASTE or TAXPAYER's money....

  • DrAndrewDixon Andrew Dixon (@DrAndrewDixon) reported

    Hi @Telstra I’ve been going around in circles on your chat support thing and not getting the help I need. Can I get someone to speak to me using their vocal cords?

  • EricaSouthgate 🐨Peace&Respect4ThePlanet (@EricaSouthgate) reported

    @Telstra Yes it is. He is very upset. I can never get through to talk to anyone on your phone customer service and do not have the app. Please can someone arrange to call me so I can have him with me to sort out. We are very close to going to the ombudsman over our inability to connec

  • bennybags Ben McCormick (@bennybags) reported

    @Telstra And that I Haven’t done - it’s never worked can you look at my mobile account and see why it hasn’t activated plse?

  • wiggyagogo Wiggyagogo ™ (@wiggyagogo) reported

    @Telstra #telstra are hopeless!! The chat function is useless! Oh man. Frustrating. I’m out Telstra! Zero service !

  • LentilsLove love_lentils (@LentilsLove) reported

    @Adam_Goldman @JamesSaretta @DrBlackVelvet I just took up the Kayo deal and watched the game last week. $5 a month ( for a year, then $25) if you are a Telstra customer, because they took away the live app.

  • FGecolarge FG (@FGecolarge) reported

    @Telstra Thanks For checking in - it is back now & seemingly faster........ both NBN & mobile backup went out yesterday. Mobile backup came back on mid-day maybe - NBN was out till sometime last night late. Yesterday there was no statement on the Telstra website of a system outage? 1/2

  • Salsnifer Stephanie Linn (@Salsnifer) reported

    Don’t be fooled by @Telstra claim that their smart modem offers uninterrupted internet when the @NBN_Australia Is down. 4 weeks no internet, no @Foxtel. 4 techs have been, 1 complaint to the ombudsman and +++ promises from complaints with 0 calls or resolution.

  • RandomoneThe TheRandomone (@RandomoneThe) reported

    @Telstra Complaints case number 07145596 incident number 13478998. Thank you any help in the matter would be great, as the problems continue.

  • 1RosieThomas Rosie Thomas OAM 💪🌈 (@1RosieThomas) reported

    @BeerRabbi @Telstra So update, even though Mum still had to wait 10 days, Ollie at Telstra was pretty awesome and spent an hour walking through way arounds. As mum said, the best of a **** situation. Thanks for your great customer service Ollie 🙏

  • Lachlan_Rohde TheChiefChieftain (@Lachlan_Rohde) reported

    @thefootyfreak @Telstra @AFL We switched to Kayo on the day of our game v Freo last season. So much better and you can get it full screen on your tablet instead of phone sized. They watered it down a couple of years back and it is so much worse. We have $15 per month Kayo so I better look in to that.

  • unclechunt UNCLE CHUNT ⏺ Join the Chunt Corps! (@unclechunt) reported

    @sincespacies @Telstra Explains the stream/discord issue yesterday.

  • traceyannereid Tracey Reid (@traceyannereid) reported

    @DrBlackVelvet He probably has Kayo, if you're a Telstra customer, I heard you can get a free deal for $5 a month not sure if deal was 6 months or a year.
