    @Telstra Sorry not edit but wait until nbn finds another short term solution. In August nbn replaced all their lines outside our workplace but it is still poor service and now none

  • docbaty Steve 'Doc' Baty (@docbaty) reported

    "At the time Abbott and Turnbull took the decision...a raft of external experts went public describing the move as flawed. Surely there were officers in the Comm's department aware of the dubious state of the Telstra copper network and the pay TV cables that proved unusable?"

  • Rebus0906 Rebus The Terrible ✳️ ✳️ (@Rebus0906) reported

    @telstra Stop sending missed calls texts, you are adding to the scam problem.

  • Aussietranstara Tara #SaveSense8 #doublevaxxed 20/9/21 (@Aussietranstara) reported

    which has been impacted by faulty cable joins, I know this because I saw that join be repaired. Which reminds me I need to remind our next door neighbor to get Telstra to send a NBN tech out to fix her crappy connection that NBN said is going to fail soon.

  • WarwickRendell Warwick Rendell (@WarwickRendell) reported

    @Telstra Except it’s NOT working. It’s redirecting to my voicemail, not the number I gave it. I tried turning it off again, then back on, no change. Still goes to my voicemail instead of the help desk number.

  • nftpixelsports NFTPixelSports (@nftpixelsports) reported

  • DemonicGiver Demon!😈 (@DemonicGiver) reported

    @slzyin @Telstra pls help me my internet is not working...

  • docbaty Steve 'Doc' Baty (@docbaty) reported

    "While copper-based fibre to the node can theoretically deliver reasonable broadband speeds, the problematic state of the Telstra phone network has resulted in massive numbers of complaints to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman."

  • docbaty Steve 'Doc' Baty (@docbaty) reported

    [It is these complaints, I believe, that led Telstra to proactively send me a letter saying not to bother signing up for a faster service - what we had was as fast as it would ever get.]

  • urdadsidechickk Tyla (@urdadsidechickk) reported

    @Telstra my wifi exploded help me

  • PrintDiva2 PrintDiva (@PrintDiva2) reported

    @Telstra Unfortunately service still down. Telstra support for business is only available in business hours- your business hours are last century. I don’t have a business mobile for your ap but found it unhelpful in the past & your other

  • DavidSm24313369 David Smith (@DavidSm24313369) reported

    @Telstra Norgibgs improved I will take my handset to Telstea Monday for assessment. As someone suffering end stage lung disease I will need a loaner for medical consults while it's being assessed. Thanks for your help.

  • nlkatipunan Nicole (@nlkatipunan) reported

    Bro, I thought Telstra was bad… but then @Optus is even worse. I can’t even get a payment extension on a bill until the end of the month, and now my service will be restricted but I work from home and don’t have home internet. At least Telstra gave me payment extensions, snap.

  • urdadsidechickk Tyla (@urdadsidechickk) reported

    @Telstra help me my internet isn’t working DONT make me go to @Optus

  • KC_LabradorBand KCandtheLabradorBand (@KC_LabradorBand) reported

  • ColBoyes Col (@ColBoyes) reported

    @Telstra hi. I have not long ago (20 minutes)installed a new prepaid sim in my iPad. I have activated it and received an email saying activation is complete, but still have no signal apart from wifi. Is it normal to still need to wait even though the email says complete? Thanks.

  • docbaty Steve 'Doc' Baty (@docbaty) reported

    [Laurie goes into some history, with the crux being that Rudd’s Communications minister, Stephen Conroy, was made aware of these shortcomings when designing the NBN, and so avoided the use of Telstra, Optus or the PayTV networks. It was a known problem from the start.]

  • joffalab Geoff Donohue (@joffalab) reported

    @Telstra The t app and ‘gold member’ status / service is a shambles
