    @Telstra where do the people come from that control Gold Member support through your chat ? They are clueless

  • Michellebamo Ground Up Agronomy (@Michellebamo) reported

    @bruzo2 @Telstra_news I suggest you ring Aussie broadband, get connected, ring disconnection at Telstra and your problem will be solved! Best thing I ever did after endless troubles with Telstra. Haven’t had a complaint since swapping to @AussieBroadband

  • RandomlySuzana Suzana (@RandomlySuzana) reported

    First time in a year I start having wifi issues. Kinda suspicious that it started the day I get a message saying I have 5G access from @Telstra Can’t afford to have issues as I’m working from home!! Can someone please look into this ASAP for me

  • rosiex geekgirl (@rosiex) reported

    @raeallen Maybe my pre-ordered @Telstra Samsung 22 is down there too?! They dont seem to be able to locate it on land.

  • TwiToorr JACKNIFE (@TwiToorr) reported

    @Tell34Truth telstra is disgusting telling me to get vaxxed via their network name on my spare phone how about you get ****** telstra take your 5g and **** off. So obvious that a purveyor of destructive frequencies would push vaccination with a nano particle laced emf attracting juice

  • samandmish MICHELLE & SIMON 🏇🏾 (@samandmish) reported

    @lasquetimeryl @Optus We are with Telstra and don’t have any issues. We have NBN fibre to the home. With Vodafone for a few months and they were terrible so we switched back to Telstra.

  • Breadlzm Bread M (@Breadlzm) reported

    @katieqs @Telstra Further the SES can request the SATCOW from Telstra, but first YOUR government needs to declare a state of emergency and formally call them out. Get with the program and do your job.

  • Bombers83 Callum #Whatever (@Bombers83) reported

    @ItsErikabYo @Telstra Damn I love Telstra

  • PaulPaully69 Paul Smith (@PaulPaully69) reported

    @lasquetimeryl @Optus Had the same with TPG. Went to Telstra and have not had a problem since

  • ambahsinceny AMBAH 🐑 (@ambahsinceny) reported

    Wow Peter from fake telstra is so rude. Finds out I’m not with telstra and hangs up on me without even so much as a good bye 😢

  • Aaron_Amb25 Aaron (@Aaron_Amb25) reported

    You would think that in 2022, when you pay your internet bill, they can give you your service back immediately. Not so with @Telstra. Every ******* time we pay a bill, we can’t use the internet for days. Am always told “at least 2hrs”. Always turns into 24-36hrs. Pathetic.

    @atwanderlast Totally. Got me through uni and the terrible Telstra network! Hah!

  • rieper47 ⱮìçհąҽӀ φҽʂąҟ (@rieper47) reported from Laidley, State of Queensland

    Love it when @Telstra waste my time I had this problem with them a few years ago and here I am, once again, going to contact the Telecommunications Ombudsman for the same issues

  • superceiliog Mountain Person (@superceiliog) reported

    @JustChillieh We have @Telstra here in Australia who spend more money on marketing than customer service

  • alchemetica Alchemetica • Ravên Studi¤ (@alchemetica) reported

    @Telstra I have tried 3 times to upgrade my telstra NBN and never got past the chat widget. 5 hours in one instance chatting to 5 different people and with each new person, I had to repeat everything. Finally, a notice comes up saying they are now closed, try again during following hours.

  • mixedbeanz mixedbeanz (@mixedbeanz) reported

    @Telstra So now, after 3 hours I've been told to call 132200 and pay for platinum services! To fix a problem with YOUR network. Time to visit your Adelaide corporate office!!

  • jacket1962 Jacqueline M 🐨 🐾💉💉💉 (@jacket1962) reported

    @danjohnson1979 @Telstra Yes it is... I've been down this path on numerous occasions and I feel your pain.

  • Minus777 Peter (@Minus777) reported

    @Telstra I think we're just going to pay what we were quoted, not what's on the bill. Telstra is a mess. The problems are on your end.

  • au_chrismor Chris Moran (@au_chrismor) reported

    @Telstra I tried that page just now, and it says that there are outages due to the floods. But the problems existed before this.

  • brucerguthrie Bruce Guthrie (@brucerguthrie) reported

    Disappearing down the @Telstra rabbit hole again. Have tried everyday this week to buy one of their wi-fi extenders because their NBN service is so crap. But can’t find anyone to take my money. Comically incompetent.

  • superceiliog Mountain Person (@superceiliog) reported

    @tokuwaffle @Telstra They are definitely NOT a customer service company

  • ehannahau Elizabeth Hannah (@ehannahau) reported

    @Optus is there an outage in Sydney? SOS only on Optus sims across multiple phones and NBN down. Currently on a Telstra sim.

  • getoffthetoilet 🌙dee (@getoffthetoilet) reported

    @Telstra is there currently an outage in Sydney city/inner west Sydney?

  • superceiliog Mountain Person (@superceiliog) reported

    @Telstra How about providing customer service? Worst company I have ever dealt with. Wait for hours to talk to someone in a call centre who puts you on hold then the call cuts out. No CRM it seems so waste hours going over the same issues. Absolutely disgraceful.

  • CaptainBridget Bridget Clinch (@CaptainBridget) reported

    @MikeCarlton01 Also smart TVs are bad, devices external to the TV like Roku/Telstra, Chromecast, computers all work with everything

  • mixedbeanz mixedbeanz (@mixedbeanz) reported

    @Telstra I'm ready to totally lose my biscuit with your utterly useless chat support service. I have a very specific issue that has only started last Monday on Telstra NBN and I' was on chat last Thursday for 2 hours and today for 3 hours, transferred between departments with no

  • danjohnson1979 Daniel Johnson (@danjohnson1979) reported

    In addition, @Telstra appear to have charged a SECOND connection fee this morning ... for a service that's not connected! (Apparently "should be working" now). We spend hundreds on Telstra between us a month. Might be time to start looking elsewhere though.

  • L0kmister Lokmister (@L0kmister) reported

    @IsJamesAlive @Telstra Number 5 should be an option to connect with an employee that actually understands what I’m saying and doesn’t speak in horribly broken English that is barley understandable. If there’s one thing a support rep should be it’s fluent in the language of the customer (or legible)

  • danjohnson1979 Daniel Johnson (@danjohnson1979) reported

    My partner visited a @Telstra store to pick up our NBN modem two weeks ago, but we've had issues & been relying on "back-up" data since. Turns out Telstra have been trying to connect to THE WRONG ADDRESS, & even sent a technician there yesterday. The ineptitude is staggering 🙄
