Telstra Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Dave Jones (@eevblog) reportedI found out what the problem was, the entire building is down. NBN backbone issue, so it's not the ISP. Found a guy in the building that runs a mobile repeater business for buildings like this and he has official contacts with Telstra who say it's going to be down for the whole long weekend. Everyone in the building is struggling with phone access. He's going to put a proposal into strata (handily, that's me!) to install mobile repeaters in the building and also the basement carpark. I said I'll approve it.
-
Beth D Kicinski (@no1historychick) reported@MichaelWestBiz @sainsburychina Loyalty programs are the ultimate con. Telstra just emailed me to say my mobile plan will be increasing by $5/mth, but my service won't improve. I'm unwillingly signed up to their "Rewards" - something built into the pricing. This should be outlawed.

Aussie Diana S 🇦🇺 (@DFactualists) reportedBloody @Telstra again!! Click to open My Telstra app won't work again all the bs name dob pw us ffs! Imagine some old person having this trouble every few weeks.
-
LinksClone (@linksclone) reported@Empty_jr Its like they're trying to make telstra look better than them what a stupid *** ad.
-
Steph McG (@oohaah_67) reported@Telstra now it’s a joke hey! Hamlyn Terrace and surrounding areas without 5G for the last couple of days. If you can’t fix or find the fault how about deploying mobile towers. Not everyone has NBN connectivity.
-
M_a_r_ke (@Ma_rk_e) reported@IceStationSpmda @fag_daughter Telstra has been paid for decades to provide a payphone service it cost more to fix vandalism then Telstra collected in call revenue, it's simply cheaper to make it free
-
Lilen (@Lilens) reported@chopwisegamji @BobBurn97207272 No infrastructure build is complete lie though, what about West Connex and Bruce highway. Upgrade on Adelaide Hospital, Footscray hospitals and NBN ( never liked it) all done during last 29 years. And don’t forget labour sold of remaining Telstra ownership on 2011!! Come at me
-
Sven (@Sydneyberlin) reported@robb_j_m It is outrageously slow and expensive, and I’m not talking about Telstra and the likes only. But most Aussies will defend it regardless these days because they don’t know any better. And here you have it: This is why we/they re-elected such a government!
-
Dr Angeline Brasier 💜 (@AngelineBrasier) reported@merkin_about its when online security works against the very elderly and their carers. we had this trouble with Telstra. they kept texting a security code to a number that wasn't our's. Mum didn't understand ended up having to get the ombudsman involved.
-
Extranious A (VIC/Tim) (@AssExtranious) reported@gilmie76 @Telstra @MarkAClarkson Or threatening you with a $200 fine for not returning your modem after your house burned down.
-
Who is Dutchy (@Dutchyisgood) reported@Telstra hey can we get decent coverage on the Mornington peninsula its **** and you charge a premium were worse than a third world country
-
Pepehands (@Inferno357) reported@Mark49438347 @PubRockVersion Telstra is required to operate payphones as part of the Universal Service Obligations, except they're now free because they can't be bothered fixing them everytime some some bogan smashes open the coin box.
-
Angry G (@PissedOfAussie) reported@Telstra twice this week you have sent me an email re network updates and service interruptions, both times 40 minutes after the scheduled start time, both times interruptions already under way. How does this help someone working from home on those days? I'll tell you, it doesnt.
-
KCC - Kuranda Community Council (@KccKuranda) reported@robb_j_m $94.00 a month and we have trouble with the stream every time we watch a live NRL game...and we live on the main street of town. Telstra in case you were wondering...
-
Paul Cashmere (@paulcashmere) reported@markbouris "no national debt .. yep zero" because he sold over $70 billion in public assets to pay down government debt, with major privatizations including Telstra (approx. 49% in 97-99), the remaining Commonwealth Bank shares, all major federal airports, and the National Rail Corporation.

❤Hellie❤ (@Hellie1982) reportedNow the only thing left to do is the dumb stupid telstra ad walk around my house. WE ARE SO BACK!!
-
Daniel Morgan (@DanielM51664716) reported@osgamer74 @sigaJohny Or maybe it is a Telstra outage. 😜
-
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....
-
Philippa Smith (@PhilippaASmith) reported@Lindajwil @Telstra Sorry to hear you are experiencing issues Linda. Organisations have so little consideration for customers and it is unacceptable when, like you, they are having to deal with so much.
-
Natasha (@Natasha19317558) reported@AlanBixter I’m not a hater but I can’t decide if I hate Medibank Private or Telstra / NBN more? Telstra / NBN sent 15 techies to fix our Internet problem & many phone calls all while our kids doing Uni exams & 1 wtg for cardiac surgery. Stress ++ Good luck Alan coz you’ll need it 🙏
-
Daniel Borrowman (@DanielBorrowman) reported@Telstra @Mention When did it become normal to be unable to simply visit the Telstra website or app to download a bill or view your calls and data usage? All you can do is download a few random receipts. Telstra Support claims, and I quote, “oh this is normal now…” I’m sorry to say Telstra but you’ve been infiltrated. Perhaps you should investigate the current and all past complaints and you’ll likely find some interesting information in the touch logs. 129472997 128259673 117509219

Ben (@beninthecapita1) reportedIt’s funny how Telstra has never really rebranded despite their logo, looking like it was made using Microsoft paint.
-
Man With A Stick (@bludgeonParagon) reported@ashleycanttweet Social media truly signal boosts the most negative people these days because I remember back when I was playing a ton of Horizon 3, and as an Australian I don't recall people online ever being so miserable. I was just marvelling at the wheelie bins and Telstra phone booths lmao
-
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.
-
Bahar 🇮🇷🇦🇺 (@B4H4R_F) reportedI’m paying over $150 to @Telstra and $75 to @Origin for internet, yet I can’t even share a simple story about Iran. Telstra and Origin, you’re the worst. If I’m paying this much and still getting blocked or restricted, what exactly am I paying for? I’ll be cancelling tomorrow! Even if it costs me. This is unacceptable.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@chatzi41 @iSpeedtestOS That's the iOS 26.5 update adding end-to-end encrypted RCS (beta) support on Apple's side. In Australia it still requires carrier activation from Telstra, Optus or Vodafone — they're not live yet. Rollout still looking like mid-to-late 2026. Toggle should appear in Messages once your carrier enables it.
-
Frances Daily (@Frances__Daily) reported@AlanBixter @Telstra Not to mention their email service BigPond’s which frequently has issues…
-
GailT (@GBTSocScientist) reported@AlanBixter @Dehler45 @Telstra My internet SO SLOW 2day!
-
Oliver J (@oliverjanik) reported@loftwah I will never understand people who stay loyal to telstra or Optus
-
Ricky🏄🏼♂️🦋 (@galumay) reported@Mr_Fanta_Pants @Telstra Ok, still sounds like Starlink on standby is the best solution, cheap, enough data for phone calls, set up a SIP service with Siptalk for her and at least she gets what she wants.
