    @Telstra Person has Laptop, can connect to port 465 on OUR mail server via SMTPS (sending) when NOT at home (any WIFI) At home connected to Telstra WIFI connection to our mail server fails (can't send) Using tcpdump packets never arrive MEANING they are killed traversing telstra network!

  • Skepper10 T Skepper (@Skepper10) reported

    @Telstra No they didn't. To be honest, as they kept asking me the same irrelevant Qs over and over, I'm not entirely convinced they even understood the issue (eg asking if I recently ported number or changed provider, even though I have been with Telstra for 5+ yrs)

  • catch2911 Sebastian (@catch2911) reported

    @Telstra Hey Anto, No I haven’t yet as I thought it could be a outage sort thing. I will talk to the tech support team soon. Thanks!

  • connections8 James Norquay (@connections8) reported

    @Optus I had a look on Twitter and I see multiple complaints with no action over the last year. Just search “Optus Alexandria” you’ll see, maybe I just need to switch to @Telstra seems like it could be a good story for @ACurrentAffair9 WFH shenanigans and poor connection right near CBD

  • pomswan pomswan (@pomswan) reported

    @sativa_bell I’m with Optus and have few issues. 5G is great if you can get it. Check who Kogan wholesale (Telstra, Optus or Vodafone) and if you live in a serviced area. We are in roughly the same area and Optus does not have 5G coverage in it yet.

  • Mark33450381 Mark (@Mark33450381) reported

    @DedicatedDucky I feel you, there's an outage going on in Point Cook since the first of December, already raised issue with Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman's (TIO) yet no one at Telstra knows what is wrong nor can give a set date when it will be fixed. 🤡🌎

  • Paradoxa18 Paradoxa (@Paradoxa18) reported

    @Telstra Thanks for yr letter giving me 24 hours or you will cancel my "service". I have rung/dmd many times in the last 15 months. You demand an email address. Just how am I supposed to have email, when you haven't sent the dongle? Pls: name & number of someone who can fix this

  • sanriokittyxo ⋆ ° ✦ Tahlia⁷ ✰ ☽ (@sanriokittyxo) reported

    so I just had an interview for telstra today and I guess it went ok, definitely had worse lol. I’ll always be insanely nervous doing that **** 😭

  • catch2911 Sebastian (@catch2911) reported

    @Telstra Hey, Yesterday and today we have been experiencing some issues with our internet. Some apps work and connect to the internet while some don’t. We have been experiencing this across different devices so it isn’t a problem with the device (1/2)

  • Skepper10 T Skepper (@Skepper10) reported

    @Telstra Leeming, 6149. I haven't been getting SMS from some numbers since Sunday (but have got ones from others). Messages are being sent OK, but aren't being received by me. Signal is OK & no change in handset or network provider. Messages aren't delayed. They're never received.

  • seawazzacazza SeA Wazza Cazza (@seawazzacazza) reported

    @wendy_harmer Did anyone say Telstra @MrKRudd had to set up the NBN to fill the void that was left by privatisation of a public network that was neglected by a private company in a failure to keep up with technology and demand thanks libs

  • evret84 evret (@evret84) reported

    @Telstra @imfallfromgrace Game streaming is not console-quality, consoles are designed to keep input latency as low as possible, streaming will never match it

  • Paradoxa18 Paradoxa (@Paradoxa18) reported

    @Telstra Dear Phil No access. That's the issue. You haven't sent the dongle. Promised, in writing, last September, dmd a copy months ago. Am in the bush: v limited online access via older mobile. Links don't work. How do you expect me to go on line, when you don't provide the gadget?

  • DavidDmacca david mccarthy (@DavidDmacca) reported

    @MayneReport I changed from @nibhealthfunds a couple of years ago. High premiums poor benefits and customer Service to make @Telstra look customer focused . Now with a not for profit fund and the difference is astounding .

  • Heath99151653 Heath (@Heath99151653) reported

    @Telstra @imfallfromgrace The Pixel runs really hot and has a crap battery life. I have one, never again.

  • BensLodge Ben Green (@BensLodge) reported

    Visiting the folks & trying to work out why their internet is so bad... 30 to 60 seconds to load web pages, but speed test is 50Mb easy. Set google DNS on a computer and all of a sudden magic fix. Is Telstra DNS really this bad? Worst part, can't even change DNS at the router.

  • jobsts 01101010 01101111 01100010 01110011 01110100 (@jobsts) reported

    @Telstra do you block (destination) port 465 for your customers? Why oh why? It's smtp over TLS/SSL or smtps. I have had so many people working for me with different ISPs, you are the ONLY one thinking port 465 is a bad idea! #computers #security

  • ihaveturtles Ihaveturtles (@ihaveturtles) reported

    @sativa_bell If you already have a phone Aldi prepaid. Uses Telstra network. Unlimited calls 20gig for $25 a month.

  • AnnabelAstbury Annabel Astbury 💯 (@AnnabelAstbury) reported

    @Telstra No, it’s all good Viktor. It’s just a shambles that I took action on myself. I’m only complaining here because I just hope someone pays attention to the obvious tension / problem that exists between Franchisees or stores and central customer service. Ty for your offer.

  • PandamoniumOCE Panda 🐼 (@PandamoniumOCE) reported

    Today's electrical storm power surged our house and fried the NBN box, meaning we can't access the internet. Telstra can't come out and fix it until Monday. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO US 🥲

  • Caitlin_Emily1 Caitlin Emily (@Caitlin_Emily1) reported

    @Telstra no option to pay your bill on your app and your staff unable to process a payment after over an hour working with customer service? What an absolute joke

  • DedicatedDucky Dedicated Duck (@DedicatedDucky) reported

    Telstra is so unbelievably bad, I have no words. Like how is moving the modem gonna help 6 months of troubleshooting issues like a ping of 300+ and getting speeds of 2mbps down and 0.7mbps up

  • HyphyAUS HyphyIRL 23.12.11 (@HyphyAUS) reported

    4 successful test streams before today Sadly wasn’t the case live streaming today - some things justout of my control Unpatched bugs all throughout @streamlabs IOS streaming app @Telstra network failing to maintain 10mbs up Run it back 26th Wildlands Festival 🔥

  • sirneggles andrewlica (@sirneggles) reported

    holy ******* **** @Telstra you are *so damn close* to losing a fifteen-year customer account over some *incredibly* stupid bullshit right now

  • Skepper10 T Skepper (@Skepper10) reported

    @Telstra Galaxy S10. Not changed phone in years and never had iPhone. Was told this morning it is something that is affecting "many customers" and is reported incident INC000098442819 with estimates of "24 to 48 hrs" to fix, but I hear different stories for every different Telstra person!

  • Skepper10 T Skepper (@Skepper10) reported

    @Telstra My ticket is actually INC17030250 but I was told it is the same as a larger issue with the other ticket ref. I find it odd that it is so large but yet not shown as an outage on your website or even searchable via my suburb. Hence my comment that i get different stories each time!

  • T4n99 T4n (@T4n99) reported

    @Telstra My Telstra 4G mobile network coverage in Allawah, NSW 2218 is so bad that I have frequent call cut off in the middle of my calls. Could you please advise why is that and fix the issue? Thanks

  • AnnabelAstbury Annabel Astbury 💯 (@AnnabelAstbury) reported

    Hey @telstra thanks* for making me run around all day trying to get my 5 day old phone replaced & still not solving the issue. The disconnect between your stores & central customer service is quite something. I really felt for the staff who had to deal with the nonsense I had.

  • rod04rod Rod (@rod04rod) reported

    @Telstra Its the 4G /5G network. Still no change.

  • Skepper10 T Skepper (@Skepper10) reported

    @Telstra Have also cleared cache, rebooted phone, reset network settings etc with no success. Getting silly now and impacting some SMS req'd for 2 factor authentication now too.
