Telstra Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • PeterKlages Peter Klages (@PeterKlages) reported

    There is a latency on the NBN satellite service that makes it unsuitable for telephony and FaceTime calls. Even @Telstra’s pathetic mobile coverage in this area works better than NBN satellite. And before you repeat your glib “talk to your ISP” bullshite at me, I already have.

  • jjaaxxthelegend jjaaxxthelegend (@jjaaxxthelegend) reported

    so it seems @Telstra has closed it customer service centers - you have to try and problem solve with them through a dodgy messaging service that they sometimes reply to Its making @Optus or anyone else look appealing

  • PeterKlages Peter Klages (@PeterKlages) reported

    @NBN_Australia I might add, I NEVER get 25mbps download. The best I do is about 20 on a good day. I will need faster, stronger and better satellite delivery soon. I am discussing with Telstra putting an aerial up and going with 4G. And abandoning NBN.

  • Bradstr01 Brad (@Bradstr01) reported

    @Telstra It’s been eleven days. You’re telling me Telstra haven’t been able to find the specialised equipment to fix the problem. I’ve rang the Velocity number and get an idiot in the Philippines that can’t even help me. All I won’t is a dongle at no cost so I can function somewhat

  • fiiingers Fred (@fiiingers) reported

    @Foxtel Foxtel is a rip. Same shows repeated . Over priced . Same ads over and over again. Streaming services far better. Dont do telstra foxtel. Foxtel says call telstra foxtel says call telstra. Personal ecpereince Notice how u cant down grade ur package on line

  • PeterKlages Peter Klages (@PeterKlages) reported

    Adding insult to this, if I want a fixed line phone for business (which I will soon), @Telstra will have to reconnect a copper wire PSTN service to my address. NBN satellite service is deemed unworkable for VoiP, according to all the providers I’ve contacted.

    @Telstra #Samsung IMO Best Hardware Worst Software Worst for Bloatware aka #Bixby Having owned a S5 & a S9 i will never buy a Samsung ( anything ) Again . #InMyOpinion

  • AshanaCassieYu AshanaCassieYuuuuuuu (@AshanaCassieYu) reported

    @Telstra u r very disgusting! I m currently with u! Ur “msg” function takes forever to reply and solve my problem! Also! U were asking me to call u on the fking 132200 and u told me to msg u after I answered everything??!! I m very disappointed!

  • herrightboot Chelsea (@herrightboot) reported

    @Telstra - internet has been down all day. Tried already troubleshooting. And online messaging has no response

  • corty79 Corty79 (@corty79) reported

    @Telstra Such a great idea, I tried it last year,and it failed. Kayo claimed they never got their money, spent a whole day with Telstra trying to sort it out, but they couldn't find the problem either. After 4 days Kayo cancelled my subscription.

  • PetraAu Petra Campbell (@PetraAu) reported

    @Telstra Just a dead line. Neighbours phones work so must be at my place. Second time this year. Yesterdays floods might have caused some damage to Telstra infrastructure though?

  • _CandyJL Candy ミ☆ (@_CandyJL) reported

    @Telstra any outages in officer 3809? Email received advising all data is used but we've just confirmed with online help that's there's data available??

  • psychwrite Jackie Rakov (@psychwrite) reported

    .@Telstra is possibly worst customer disservice to date. Don’t they employ people anymore?!

  • HawkTalkPod Hawk Talk Podcast (@HawkTalkPod) reported

    @Mitch7972 @AFL I think if you're a Telstra customer it's even cheaper again. Worth looking into.

  • MonikaJansch Biptutti (@MonikaJansch) reported

    Internet speed of 0.64 download from @telstra all week no respondences from their “help” service. You to can pay $100 a month for this!

  • TroyCunningham0 Troy Cunningham (@TroyCunningham0) reported

    I have been told twice this week by @telstra support that a Technician will attend my premises to fix the phone line broken by a falling branch, no one has turned up and now I am told this department is closed on weekends. I would like some one to contact me to resolve this.

  • jenanistons Jess ミ☆ (@jenanistons) reported

    @Telstra I received a text: “We have identified an issue with your home internet service so your Telstra Smart Modem has switched to our 4G mobile network to help keep you connected...” I had no idea something was wrong with our internet?! It had been working fine so I’m confused

  • kimbodee K (@kimbodee) reported

    @Telstra I've just bought into a Velocity area and I'm wondering if I've made a terrible mistake? Our internet has never worked via WAN and only ever in a hit&miss fashion via cell backup and today the whole thing is down completely? Any advice? 4209

  • civilengineer civilengineer (@civilengineer) reported

    @kymtje I spent 90 minutes yesterday with Telstra website, phone and eventually internet chat to make a final payment for Foxtel and cancel the subscription, my last link with Telstra. They flipped me to Foxtel re return of the box. What a disaster... probably worse. Still unresolved.

  • BinaPolitical PoliticalBina (@BinaPolitical) reported

    @MarieColemanAO Report it to Telstra. Usually these type of callers want you to authorise them to take control of your computer by pretending it’s the only way to fix a non-existing problem. Don’t engage.

  • TheNakedFarmers Sophie Love 🎧🎤👩‍🌾 (@TheNakedFarmers) reported

    Biggest loss thus far is telephone pole and wire swept away in flooded river and we know from last week that dealing with @Telstra overseas call centres is a bloody nightmare so how am I going to explain this and how long will they take to get out to fix that, I wonder? 🤔

  • PetraAu Petra Campbell (@PetraAu) reported

    @Telstra Partial joke Ollie. Telstra said line be fix by end of March(1month ago) & would send me satellite phone. No news&no phone. Still 12 days to go tho. Is that your cable in video in what was a road and verge? We don’t have electricity here.

  • MastopLambertus Lambertus Mastop (@MastopLambertus) reported

    3) in one day! The Telstra guy stated that he was upgrading the network because of the new 15 acre estate putting in new houses. Excuses, I reckon. We had no online notices from my local council nor from Telstra, none-what-so-ever! I was appalled! And so did others.

  • iOSBrett Brett May (@iOSBrett) reported

    @telstra Can you give more information on the internet outage in the Yarra Valley please ?

  • aparbury Anne Parbury (@aparbury) reported

    @MonikaJansch @Telstra That's really bad, I hope @Telstra get their act together and give her the service she is paying for.

  • riffwithbiff Heath (@riffwithbiff) reported

    @vii_lauren $5 if you’re a telstra customer

  • GeckoIce IceGecko (@GeckoIce) reported

    @Telstra @AFL Is this why you cant seem to provide any kind of service what so ever ?

  • Zeb_Russell Zeb Russell (@Zeb_Russell) reported

    @Telstra can you please activate my service I've paid you for it. 3 days to unlock my phone seams unreasonable. I more annoyed you won't answer the phone and hang up and send me some link. Please unlock my phone immediately.

  • MonikaJansch Biptutti (@MonikaJansch) reported

    @Telstra Well that was a complete waste of my time not resolved and you refuse to send out a technician to an elderly customer to fix the issue.

  • Fathairylazy Action Bailey (@Fathairylazy) reported

    @Telstra you are the most useless internet provider. All we are asking is for a technician out to our house. You keep running tests on our line and sending a new modem. We know what the issue is and your people keep ignoring it. This has been going on for 9 months
