    @Telstra Worst company ever

  • AlexBrangwin Alexandria Brangwin (@AlexBrangwin) reported

    @Telstra @TmChrisk31 Worryingly a lot of people have been switched over the 4G backup on smart modems...and Telstra's diagnostic tools say there is no problem.

  • Paradoxa18 Paradoxa (@Paradoxa18) reported

    @KazRockchick And the more gov goes on line, the more we disappear. Happening at all levels. So what if you can't eat, must buy shiny, must get hooked up, or we can't help. Not just gov: is Telstra answering phones again yet? #fairgoforALL

  • ftafra Frane (@ftafra) reported

    @Telstra So it's now been 3 hours & no reply from the Telstra 24/7 app chat/support function. Same thing happened on Tue. Similar poor to no support on Wed. After hours I can't call Telstra, I can only use the App. So what on Earth does a person do now? How do I get help?

  • schnausdm david_myers (@schnausdm) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @jacket1962 @Telstra Yesterday having spent an hour online getting nowhere, not being able to speak to a person even though Telstra said I could. Drove to the local Telstra store where they told me the product Telstra suggested I should buy was useless and would not solve my problem.

  • linuxpirategeek Chris McGimpsey-Jones (@linuxpirategeek) reported

    @MatthewSigley @Telstra I had Optus problems tonight.

  • HeritageScrapbo Michelle Scragg (@HeritageScrapbo) reported

    @NotSoWiseOwl1 This happened to my sister. The idiot paid his $1500 Telstra bill so they didn't have any trouble finding him.

  • domknight Dom Knight (@domknight) reported

    I got an iPhone 12 on @optus last week and was excited to try the fancy new 5G network. The reviews I read say their coverage is nearly as good as @Telstra’s, which I can’t get at home. So far I’ve loved seeing the 5G symbol... the one brief time it’s *ever* happened.

  • ftafra Frane (@ftafra) reported

    @Telstra Thx. but it's the same story. You are sorry, I understand. But in reality, there is no support. No communication. The Telstra 24/7 app does not work, there is NO after hours support. 3 days, many hours wasted. All I can surmise is that my 30y account is not worth Telstra's time

  • Doodledido Ad Pacem (@Doodledido) reported

    @JmarrMarr I keep upsetting the fake Telstra people. Some hang up on me when I tell them I’m not in front of my modem, so I don’t know what it’s flashing. If Nicole from the ATO wasn’t a recording I would give her a piece of my mind.

  • not_so_funny not_so_funny (@not_so_funny) reported

    @pencilportrait3 Please let me know if it worked (if you try). I'm being flooded with phone calls from telstra threatening to cut the internet service! What shall I do about Twitter!!!!!

  • FionaWithAnArgh Riona Johnston (@FionaWithAnArgh) reported

    @Telstra Are all the staff engineers / contract tradesmen you send into customer homes screened for police clearances and child protection? How can a customer be sure that the person (a stranger) coming into the home on your behalf poses no risk?

  • sashashev sashashev (@sashashev) reported

    @domknight @Optus @Telstra See if Bill Gates can help

  • nofuneraI czdr (@nofuneraI) reported

    Telstra are such cheeky ***** but I can’t go to any other provider bc I can’t get service anywhere lmao.

  • BranwoodJack Brandon Chen (@BranwoodJack) reported

    @Telstra I get over 300mbps down using Optus 4g on my iPhone 12 so no thanks, ain’t switching to Telstra

  • acrosweller alison crosweller (@acrosweller) reported

    Hey @Telstra why is it not possible to speak to a human when I call your number? You direct me to the App but it can’t answer or solve my problem. It’s been two days and several visits to your stores now without a result.

  • jazza1983 Jarrod McCloughan (@jazza1983) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Due to your totally unreliable service @Telstra I can not work from home. This has dragged on for weeks and your online thing now says is NBN related. I’m really annoyed and frustrated.

  • AnthonyHunter83 Jason Brip (@AnthonyHunter83) reported

    @MatthewSigley @Telstra Damn. Now I have to find one of those coax cables from the 80’s.

  • Spankyhunter spankyhunter (@Spankyhunter) reported

    @MatthewSigley @Telstra theres a telstra outage?? mine hasnt skipped a beat all night on the gold coast

  • ftafra Frane (@ftafra) reported

    @Telstra Posted support request in detail, all troubleshooting done + alternate contact, no response for 2h. My 6th attempt over 3 days to get help. Telstra should be ashamed of how they treat their customers. When will someone actually help me! Or do I need to get the Ombudsman?

  • fuzzylim Kelvin Lim (@fuzzylim) reported

    @Telstra is cable down or turned off for nbn in Clovelly?

  • traceytab Tracey Baker (@traceytab) reported

    @sommy79 @Telstra It’s very challenging dealing with them at best of times, but their overseas call centre staff have been impacted by lockdowns. It took 12 hours for a messenger response to my query. I ended up lodging complaint form online and the matter was responded to in a couple of days.

  • Richie83086627 Richie (@Richie83086627) reported

    @swiftievotinga1 @Telstra No service when there’s a problem, overseas call centres that tell fibs, they just really suck lol

  • popcapkitty The Almighty Demon Neither Wide Awake Or Dreamming (@popcapkitty) reported

    @faithvalntyne25 Telstra it’s meant to be fast but it’s really slow lately

  • ftafra Frane (@ftafra) reported

    @Telstra There is no 24/7 support. Telstra are more than happy to leave my phone system in a faulty state. Lots of ...sorry, we are here for you, we can help you. But when it comes down to it, no. Nothing. So disappointed So sick and tired of it all.

  • 1lazylola Lola (@1lazylola) reported

    @Telstra Thank you amber. Good to know I can get a hold of someone at twitter. I finally got through to someone on the chat and he got a temporary fix until someone can fix the issue in the street. Thanks

  • jasonfr78355993 jason french (@jasonfr78355993) reported

    @Telstra Are you joking? Am I back to the start of tech support messaging system again? I have been messaging regarding this issue for 26hrs!

  • ftafra Frane (@ftafra) reported

    @Telstra I get the same message from the Telstra app every time.... "We're currently experiencing significant delays in being able to respond to your message." Every chat, every attempt to get help. For a telecommunications company, it's pretty sad they can't communicate.

  • mariemangels Marie Mangelsdorf (@mariemangels) reported

    @Telstra It’s not sorted. 28 h ago Telstra called about an issue with my order. The phone message left a number. I called it and was directed to a chat. 5 1/ hrs ago. Telstra called me. Telstra told me there is an issue. FFS what is the issue with my order?!!!! Why can’t you tell me 🤬

  • ftafra Frane (@ftafra) reported

    @Telstra it's 1am here in Australia. Just thought I'd check on my handy Telstra app 24/7 support request, to fix a serious issue with my phone line. Created Tue 17th. My last plea for some type of help was over 6 hours ago... yep still no reply, great support Telstra.
