    @RoelofBoer @LofayPeter After a long fight .. in the end when that was fixed we moved to optus.. one bill per month never changes.. telstra are still sending bills for unknown charges. I’ve contacted them in numerous occasions they delete the emails then up they pop again

  • gjblue Greg Blue (@gjblue) reported

    @zozzer1966 @LofayPeter @Telstra Big issues this week with Internet, response from provider "yeah it's just the rain, can't do much about it, but you are due to get fibre in a couple of years" absolutely no care

  • Epigrammist Toby. (@Epigrammist) reported

    The telstra 5/4g network appears to be out in Claremont/Cottesloe/Peppermint Grove/Mosman Park. That’ll upset a few wealthy/powerful people. Of course the website says everything is normal.

  • crouchingkitten Pieter Booysen (@crouchingkitten) reported

    Hey @Telstra we've been through this and I've sent you a photo of YOUR system in store showing I've returned your modem+I've raised a complaint about this: WHY have I received another text threatening me with charges for a modem I do not have? #intimidation #threatening #abuse

  • LofayPeter peter lofay (@LofayPeter) reported

    Today’s Telstra convo STICK THAT F*CKIN' PHONE, UP YOUR F*CKIN' ARSE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO F*CKIN' HELP, NOT MAKE IT F*CKIN' HARD I'M JUST TRYIN' TO MAKE A CALL, BUT YOU'RE JUST BEING SMART SO YOU CAN STICK THAT F*CKIN' PHONE, UP YOUR F*CKIN' ARSE

  • DanielJBatt Daniel Batt (@DanielJBatt) reported

    @WillowA2 @ChloefromC And if Telstra has problems with the network where you live or the power goes out you just have to starve.

  • Frances44271954 Frances Clark (@Frances44271954) reported

    @LofayPeter I aged ten years when we were with telstra.. every month the a/c would be different .. every month I’d spend hours trying to get it fixed .. moved to optus never ring them . A/c plan always the same no added charges

  • Chips_mn Chips (@Chips_mn) reported

    @MuffinMan2192 @10NewsFirst the Rudd NBN was entirely FTTP - Once the libs got in afterwards they trashed it, bought out telstra's ancient copper network (twice), bought thousands of km of brand new shiny copper (more expensive than fibre km for km and est. ~40 times slower minimum) and used that for FTTN.

  • sebastiaan76 Sebastiaan76 (@sebastiaan76) reported

    @Telstra help. How do I get in touch with the team that can manually review eligibility for the 5G Home Internet plan? I have line of sight to the tower and 200Mbps on my current Upfront Data on Nighthawk modem. Surely someone owns this?

  • ForeverWithJoeJ danielle. (@ForeverWithJoeJ) reported

    I don't even have my telstra SIM card yet and I'm already regretting deciding to go with them lol their customer service is driving me crazy

  • Gamakyini Robin Bryant (@Gamakyini) reported

    @RansleyEllen @Sandra_Sully Fantastic. I am just in conversation with Telstra management about the failing mobile network in Mallacoota. Closing down for periods and calls dropping out. Wonder if he will visit our beleaguered community with promises.

  • browndogstales Jake Brown (@browndogstales) reported

    @miriamcosic @iiNet Uses Telstra network. Has been reliable for me in Melbourne. They have some cookie cutter plans (like most telcos). Completely BYO phone. As someone who goes between really low use & moderate, the lower plan has suited.

  • ForeverWithJoeJ danielle. (@ForeverWithJoeJ) reported

    Placed a prepaid sim order with @Telstra on the 15th… they took my money but I never got my order confirmation email. Now I’ve been on chat to their customer care and they have no record of my order or me…gotta love them making me regret choosing them before even getting my SIM

  • RoelofBoer 𝓡𝓸𝓮𝓵𝓸𝓯 𝓑𝓸𝓮𝓻 (@RoelofBoer) reported

    @Frances44271954 @LofayPeter We needed phone coverage over wide area. Only Telstra could do that. But I guess I am lucky. Been great service since.

  • browndogstales Jake Brown (@browndogstales) reported

    @miriamcosic @iiNet Sounds more like an iiNet issue than Optus. I haven't heard anything about Optus closing. iiNet was bought by dodo (I think) some time back & has gone downhill since. We moved to Belong (budget Telstra subsidiary) & it's worked well. Very easy to port across.

  • DevOpsCats DevOpsCats (@DevOpsCats) reported

    Internet has been a bit flaky off and on for a while, just discounted it to being a "rural member"... Got a call from Aussie Broadband, they noticed and booked someone from NBN to come out and have a look tomorrow afternoon... Definitely something you'd never see Telstra do...

  • epmdota Lyall McDonald (@epmdota) reported

    Still no stream today, internet is not working well enough, cant stream on 0.3Mbps. Telstra still giving me terrible service. 'Yes, your line is terrible and we'll just watch it be terrible for the next 48hrs and not do anything" @Telstra

  • crouchingkitten Pieter Booysen (@crouchingkitten) reported

    @Telstra Complaint raised 14/04/22 no resolution yet: complaint # in our DM's NOT impressed with Telstra's behaviour: I was polite in raising the issue, taking time off to investigate issue in your system at your store and providing sufficient info for this to not happen again.

  • antcalla76 Calla (@antcalla76) reported

    @Telstra Also can you please advise the best avenue to make a formal complaint. I have been trying to get my Foxtel from Telstra sorted since the start of February and every time I think it’s sorted another issue comes up.

  • duroppucharming duroppu charming 🐨👃 (@duroppucharming) reported

    @Telstra if you don’t fix my internet right now I will come and I will pee on ur HQ this is not a drill

  • zeitgeistlondon Brent A. Martin (@zeitgeistlondon) reported

    @Telstra when will prepaid overseas roaming be available? I jsut had a ridiculous "chat" with your "help bot" that said it is coming with a "new version of this will launch mid-2021." - long gone. Whats going on please?

  • traceym6600 💞❄Tracey❄💞 (@traceym6600) reported

    THIS IS WHY I WILL NEVER USE TELSTRA 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • PatriciaVercoe Patricia Vercoe (@PatriciaVercoe) reported

    What the point of encouraging people to live down south, if banks & Telstra , and other shops are leaving?

  • Kermitron kermi (@Kermitron) reported

    I think the scammers are using me to train new staff. Just had a call where it took about ten seconds for the person to put on their headset or whatever. When they started their spiel they got as far as "this is [name] calling from The Telstra" and then it just cut out.

  • nash_vision Nash Todd (@nash_vision) reported

    @Telstra I tried to stay with Telstra. Had a technician booked to check my outage issues. They never came. Just said the issue was resolved via text. Great customer service. Have now moved companies. Useless #telstra #nbn #internet

  • RoelofBoer 𝓡𝓸𝓮𝓵𝓸𝓯 𝓑𝓸𝓮𝓻 (@RoelofBoer) reported

    @Frances44271954 @LofayPeter Interesting. My business account is with Telstra. Phones, Office 365 and Internet. Account Manager at local Telstra Business Centre. Faultless service for 20+ years.

  • Craigrodgers1C Craig Rodgers (@Craigrodgers1C) reported

    stay away from these frauds @Foxtel. In bed with @Telstra and make it impossible to cancel subscriptions. Terrible. How many others out there?

  • FnGrJoeBdnsWife Jordations mum (@FnGrJoeBdnsWife) reported

    you call the emergency number anywhere in the world and they can help you. You call 000 here and its worse than telstra @ScottMorrisonMP

  • PHassey Phil Hassey (@PHassey) reported

    @servantofchaos All part of Telstra’s ongoing stealth mode for the 20 year renewal that never happens or ends

  • taytay_gay17 Tay (@taytay_gay17) reported

    @Telstra I’ve been having issues with the connection on your modems, all across SA people are struggling with connection issues, please have someone on that asap i need it to apply to jobs n stuff
