  • whisperfist C. Aleph (@whisperfist) reported

    200 minutes into the chat and I’m being transferred to a sixth @Telstra rep. (Only #2 of supplemental Qs answered - despite whole conversation being about my ADSL service, they had been going to send a NBN modem!)

  • Paul_Brown1 Paul Brown 🐂🐑🦐🌾🐐🍻🍇🥑🥭 (@Paul_Brown1) reported from Popes Landing, State of Western Australia

    @phil_honey After installing a cel-fi booster in the Cruiser a few years ago cos of poor coverage, I could drive Gero-Hedland with a couple of small black spots No longer, it’s now a mobile wasteland for most of the journey, even with a cel-fi RfR money that funded @telstra towers was wasted

  • OldCynicalSad 🌸 OldCynicalSad 🌸 Unacceptable & Unclean 🌸 (@OldCynicalSad) reported

    My @Telstra 4G mobile internet has turned to complete shite in the last few months, terrible tonight. Are Telstra obstructing people who do not agree with the government narrative? Starting to think this is the case. Shows up on certain websites, while others are no problem.

  • Natinsurbroker Abbie - Nibrokers (@Natinsurbroker) reported

    @AdeleOffley @Telstra Mines been cutting out last 3 weeks! Very frustrating trying to operate a business. Some times it’s been perfect timing for those calls you’d rather personally hang up on.. but @Telstra bet me to it. Yet no one can help!

  • katherinemunn2 Katherine Munn (@katherinemunn2) reported from Charles Sturt University, State of New South Wales

    @AdeleOffley @Telstra I’m in Wagga and I often have trouble getting internet service (4G) - which is ridiculous for an inland city - it only gets worse when I’m travelling to small towns for work, makes it hard even to answer phone calls when I’m on the road

  • Byoz01 Chris... (@Byoz01) reported

    @AdeleOffley @Telstra Have a Telstra 'fixed mobile service'...excellent Antenna on roof...'line of sight' to mobile tower, performs like an old fashioned landline..

  • skwashd Dave Hall 🌻 (@skwashd) reported

    @NewtonMark @jsleeio @yaleman43381258 The APN you want is telstra.extranet. If you have a business account and get the right support tech, you can get the GPTEXB3 code added to your account which gives you access to that APN. It gives you a public IP and bypasses CGNAT.

  • Jess_H19 Jess H (@Jess_H19) reported

    @AdeleOffley @Telstra Yes! Having calls drop in places that I've never had calls drop before multiple times. Can hold a call today & get zilch tomorrow. The lack of consistency makes it even more frustrating.

  • jangcwony 🧚🏻‍♂️ (@jangcwony) reported

    Pissed off Telstra. I have 2 devices that literally 98% of the time JUST TODAY won't connect to net, make phone calls or text. Says I'm off-line, connection time ran our, or I'm not registered to telstra network, even though it worked fine in the morning

  • jsleeio jsleeio 💉💉💉💉 (@jsleeio) reported

    @yaleman43381258 @NewtonMark I don't know how it ended up at "telstra.wap" or whether it needed to change at some point (carrier settings?). Strange. I never touch that stuff because I have NFI what I'm doing in it.

  • StayFrosty_TTV Frosty (@StayFrosty_TTV) reported

    @EmbarrassedYes Telstra as a brand was here in NZ when I was younger, but they couldn't keep up with the other providers so left and sold their network

    @JoshFrydenberg “Hi, We have added additional data to your Telstra Smart Modem back up to keep you connected while we fix your NBN service”. Another one of 10 messages in Kooyong land over the past week showing how the lnp has farked Labor’s nbn.

  • DavidThegrange David Langfield (@DavidThegrange) reported

    @riverinaMFO @AdeleOffley @Telstra Yep - getting worse - signal seems to have dropped, phone calls dropping out

  • farmercate2 farmercate (@farmercate2) reported

    @AdeleOffley @Telstra We seem to cycle in and out of 3G/4G Several farms have black spots. Need to stand on the roof of the tractor if it's an emergency & the 3G is only 1 bar.

  • whisperfist C. Aleph (@whisperfist) reported

    >100min into today’s conversation, and: “We are sorry for the inconvenience caused to you, I need your help in finding out root cause of this issue so we can eliminate it once in for all and work towards getting...” @Telstra needs *more* help from me before they can start!

  • G_ctrain Georgia Trainor (@G_ctrain) reported

    @AdeleOffley @Glenn_SoilAgro @Telstra Yes, it is getting worse. I travel a lot for work in regional WA and have noticed its getting worse over the last few years. Have noticed a faster decline in the last 6 months. I also can't get a signal anywhere near my house which makes working from home quite difficult! (1/2)

  • Haydenhollis88 Hayden Hollis (@Haydenhollis88) reported

    @AdeleOffley @Telstra It’s terrible. Hard to complete our work in the field!!

  • JohnnyLydon Johnny (@JohnnyLydon) reported

    And by the way NBNCo don’t bother reaching out. I use a nom de plume. Telstra has thrown you under the bus and refuses to cop any of the blame for the horrid nbn performance

  • smithdimity Dimity Smith (@smithdimity) reported

    @AdeleOffley @Telstra Absolutely agree! The service - and reception are getting worse!

  • peggymel2001 Peggy Sanders (@peggymel2001) reported

    @Elpinksto @Julie56T I’m getting a radio. ABC emergency channel is needed more than ever. The bloody internet, mobile network in Aust is useless and dangerous by its uselessness in these crises. 000 forget it - operated out of India courtesy of Telstra. Privatisation has proved dangerous. #thedrum

  • Dolph2_83 Aidan Dolphin (@Dolph2_83) reported

    @AdeleOffley @Telstra Definatly worse. Need to go back to home phones. Why can't they tap into the same frequency as gps systems on machinery get signal everywhere then

  • _markagregory Mark A Gregory (@_markagregory) reported

    @Telstra please Shannon, as a Telco person, I have done this, and my test equipment confirms there is an ongoing problem. Get a manager to call me. I want an official reason. #auspol @telstra

  • G_ctrain Georgia Trainor (@G_ctrain) reported

    @AdeleOffley @Glenn_SoilAgro @Telstra My local community (Clackline/Mokine) have worked to get a list of signatures to complain to the ombudsman as Telstra is not willing to do anything to fix the issue. I dont know if it will help but it's a start. It's particularly concerning in bushfire season.

  • yarramundafarm1 yarramundafarmer (@yarramundafarm1) reported

    @AdeleOffley @Telstra Yep 1.4 klm’s farm office is from tower and phone and internet service has gotten worse in the last few months

  • Eckfarming Nick Eckermann (@Eckfarming) reported

    @AdeleOffley @Telstra Yes feel it is getting worse but even worse is the keep denying that it is and expect rural customers to keep investing in systems to just get service ie antennas and boosters.

  • whisperfist C. Aleph (@whisperfist) reported

    >100min into today’s conversation, and: “We are sorry for the inconvenience caused to you, I need your help in finding out root cause of this issue so we can eliminate it once in for all and work towards getting a resolution.” @Telstra needs *more* help from before they can start

  • GribbleRC Rod Gribble (@GribbleRC) reported

    @AdeleOffley @Telstra No question ...... it's much worse. It's expensive & crap service to boot!

  • rovingrob Rob Scriva (@rovingrob) reported

    @Optus @Aussie_BB how do I complain about coverage at my house which is within 3kms of the adelaide CBD not regional Australia. It’s just outrageously poor. Do I need to churn to a Telstra to fix it? It’s complete crap.

  • Abi12544857 Abi (@Abi12544857) reported

    Hi , why is it so hard to port a no. from Belong to Telstra , it’s been 6 hrs without calls or texts. Telstra App Support desk is the worst support team I have spoken to for technical help @Telstra @Telstra_news
