    @Telstra hello we applied for telstra internet but there hasn't been a return yet nobody called can you help me

  • nickbarnesaus Nick (@nickbarnesaus) reported

    @Telstra The fact watching AFL/NRL now use up data and customers have to pay extra on top their plan sounds like a bad deal for consumers. But be interesting to see how much Telstra shareholders benefit considering Telstra co owner of Foxtel isn’t competing against itself anymore.

  • Paradoxa18 Paradoxa (@Paradoxa18) reported

    @kristin8X @Telstra Called Telstra several times, only to be redirected online. That doesn't work very well: demands a Telstra email address I don't have. Still waiting for home net, 14 months! Still paying for it, out of an earlier refund, still no net. Phone them? Wish you luck!

  • Magpies035 Loui (@Magpies035) reported

    @Telstra is there a problem with support

  • LeftyScumbag please go to therapy (@LeftyScumbag) reported

    @amelizajane @Telstra @kristin8X I imagine the AUWU will help her, which is more than she did for them.

  • iamclare Clare Rigden (@iamclare) reported

    Hey @Telstra - I am trying to cancel my home internet. I have been trying for two months, and in the mean time have been charged $200 in bills. Am on two separate online chats AGAIN and neither will successfully cancel my account. I need this sorted. Like, NoW!

  • IBloodyLuvRugby Rugby and stuff... (@IBloodyLuvRugby) reported

    @Telstra Moving house and the service disconnection date changed to today instead of the 10th which I'd put in on the online form

  • amelizajane Eliza Spencer (@amelizajane) reported

    @LeftyScumbag @Telstra @kristin8X can we pls stop firing customer service people over tweets. really really hoping it's a well intentioned thought gone terribly wrong but even if not, not worth being fired in the middle of a recession for

  • drpeterleighton Peter Leighton (@drpeterleighton) reported

    @Telstra I am just off the phone and after another remote restart I have been told that you need to monitor for 24 hours again. I cannot even tweet this via wifi. The modem is faulty. Fix or replace it. Sick an tired of this

  • chairy42 Chairy (@chairy42) reported

    @NRL I’ll bet my @Telstra bill won’t be reduced now that this is not included in my service... joke

  • iamclare Clare Rigden (@iamclare) reported

    In short, I urge everyone to actively NOT use Telstra for home internet. Honestly - they are the absolute WORST! By comparison, we signed up with Dodo, and they have been fantastic. Unlimited internet for $70 a month! Zero hassles.

  • kristin8X kristin (she/her) (@kristin8X) reported

    @beef_skeleton @Telstra just think, @Telstra could have avoided ppl pointing out the bad / total lack of sensitivity training they provide their customer service staff if they simply listed a media contact on their website like you'd expect them to

  • JarrodWeir JarrodWeir (@JarrodWeir) reported

    @Telstra I have also asked to speak to my complaints managers superior several times and have never received a call back. I have also been told that my complaints manager has attempted to call e on numerous occasions with no missed calls or messages appearing on my Telstra serviced mobile

  • iamclare Clare Rigden (@iamclare) reported

    @cameron_adams @Telstra Am triggered! But working through my angst, and hoping this storm in a teacup will blow over. Also thanking my lucky stars that I don't live anywhere near that awful fire front. Poor old Perth is having a rough trot this week.

  • drpeterleighton Peter Leighton (@drpeterleighton) reported

    @Telstra My issue is still not fixed. I am onto my twenty something online person who will no read what I have already said. We have had so many remote restarts. I turn it off and then after a wait restart. I have now done 7 hard restarts. I am sick of being told we need to wait 24 hour.

  • tototally Toto (@tototally) reported

    @Telstra Yeah, the online messaging function is also infuriating. I hope the issue is resolved soon. It feels like you know because you have the best network in Australia you think you can treat your customers with disdain. Monopolies should never be privatised.

  • mattfysh Matt Fysh (@mattfysh) reported

    @Telstra How do I save the in-app chat transcript? Needed to dispute credit card transaction. Your support team are hopeless.

  • crazycatlxdy tara (@crazycatlxdy) reported

    Anyone else with telstra having internet issues today or do I just have bad luck?

  • kristin8X kristin (she/her) (@kristin8X) reported

    @amelizajane @Telstra Yes, I know at least two of my AUWU colleagues have worked in call centres and no doubt there are more in the operations team who have. Any workplace with high turnover needs to consider its pay and conditions – it's no excuse for a lack of training and support for workers.

  • missleetulloch Lee Tulloch Credible Woman (@missleetulloch) reported

    @Telstra Hey Matt @Telstra I am still trying to speak to someone at Telstra who can help me with setting up my NBN service. (Yes, since Jan 23!) Incorrect information, online chat people who can't access my account, phone numbers that send me back to online services I can't access. Help.

  • debkev62 Deb B (@debkev62) reported

    @Telstra I have been on hold all morning and getting nowhere. Do you honestly think we can spend hours trying to talk to somebody? Please help!

  • Alison91541659 Alison (@Alison91541659) reported

    @Telstra hey Telstra. I’ve been trying follow up with your customer service on phone, in shop and on my Telstra app to get customer support to help resolve my issue why I can’t send MMS to Android. So far everyone, flicks me to someone else and closes ticket.

  • AndrewFulton12 Andrew Fulton (@AndrewFulton12) reported

    Hey @Telstra your service is ****. I can’t talk to anyone. The stupid links u send won’t work. I’m trying to set up direct debit that u guys stopped. Why is it so hard

  • kr0swell ً (@kr0swell) reported

    I don’t understand how Telstra’s smart troubleshooting will help someone with a connection fault if the smart modem switches to LTE.

  • WoodLeonie Leonie Wood (@WoodLeonie) reported

    @Telstra I have spoken to 'support' teams several times over the past week: no explanation for variable speeds, no explanation for slow speeds, no explanation for 12MBps on 'troubleshooting' site. Your system suggests I upgrade my plan- when I am already on highest available plan. Useless

  • nicksletterbox Nick Di'Lodovico (he/him) (@nicksletterbox) reported

    Hey @Telstra @telstracareers how does someone contact you for support via a phone? I’ve been trying to get an issue fixed for 3 days of endless chat through your app and I am giving up!? This is for my 77 years old mother in a nursing home... #epicfail

  • kristin8X kristin (she/her) (@kristin8X) reported

    👋 @Telstra, I'm the spokesperson for @AusUnemployment and I can't seem to find a phone number for your media contact? Help me out?

  • Ickon Ickon (@Ickon) reported

    **** you @Telstra Worst customer service I've ever had to deal with.

  • Vollyaholic HereToHelp (@Vollyaholic) reported

    @HumanHeadline Don't sweat it Derryn. I have had trouble with my Amazon account, NBN, my Telstra, my Tax Office, and obviously need new light globes, but I'm surviving as best I can. These things are sent to try us... 🤷

  • CourtneyLee_33 Courtney Lee Thirty Three HOBART HURRICANES (@CourtneyLee_33) reported

    @AusUnemployment @Telstra Yes and never heard back...
