  • MissLizzieZiZi 𝔼𝕝𝕚𝕫𝕒𝕓𝕖𝕥𝕙 (@MissLizzieZiZi) reported

    @BHustwaite Telstra has been trying to make me swap over for two years but I don’t want to as I have cable internet which has mostly been great and it’s fast. All I hear is how crap NBN is, so I was happy it got delayed 🤪

  • JeskaWillow 🐝 Lady Jessica of Nowhere 🐝 Storyteller Trash 🐝 (@JeskaWillow) reported

    Hoooooly ****. Legit just got left on read by the Telstra messaging service. Probably because I opened with wanting to cancel a service. ******* Telstra, man. So over this ****.

  • wifidownunder Aaron Scott (@wifidownunder) reported

    @scottdoorey @Telstra Why not. We both know it will get blamed by Telstra tech support 🤪

  • JAMOPMS JAMOPMS (@JAMOPMS) reported

    @Telstra How come someone can turn in International Roaming and increase my data to 80GB but when I ask you guys to help, you keep hanging up on me. Like someone just spoke to you to increase it but you're not available to fix it?

  • NewcastleGardia ☂ Newcastle Guardian🇦🇺 (@NewcastleGardia) reported

    @Shirley56733062 Optus here too for years now, after a lifetime previously with Telstra. Posted this to alert all the poor Telstra suckers, what was going to be happening to them.

  • ErinGraceAuthor Erin Grace (@ErinGraceAuthor) reported

    @Telstra No there wasn’t which is why I tweeted you. I am trying to get a credit for the days without service but can’t actually speak to anyone.

  • danmuller1 Dan (@danmuller1) reported

    Hi @Telstra why do you continually mess up my accounts? I literally can't find anyone to help. With over 50 services and my company NEEDING internet use I think it's in your best interest to sort this out tonight not tomorrow. If you can't help me you can say goodbye

  • LaceyJoshua Joshua Lacey (@LaceyJoshua) reported

    @Foxtel Ok thanks my foxtel is through Telstra will that be an issue?

  • justmrjacob Just Mr Jacob (@justmrjacob) reported

    @JagerLizard @nzherald Or you could have pitched it to DXC, Telstra Health or GE Health, HealthShare or Alliance and they would have bought it off you for $5 mil and it becomes their problem.

  • BruceBol Bruce (@BruceBol) reported

    @andy_penn 8 hours of trying to get connection for 89 year old with existing account and Telstra want employment record, credit checks, internet prefs, sms.... crazy crazy crazy worst service of all large companies

  • georgina_manos Georgina Manos (@georgina_manos) reported

    @Telstra Hi Ollie, everyone I speak to at Telstra gives me conflicting advice or tells me to speak to someone else. Basically, I need to get a Telstra onenumber but no one can help me with that. There’s no barring on the account. There’s no way I can apply for it on the Telstra app.

  • Kumbiland Ian Fletcher (@Kumbiland) reported

    @danmuller1 @Telstra Telstra totally suck mate put up with there bullshit for over 5 yrs then finally woke up and pissed them off and have never looked back

  • tonyfwhite Tony F White (@tonyfwhite) reported

    @MarkTossell @Telstra Yep, the business my wife works for us taking their phones elsewhere after the phone lines became scrambled and Telstra could only fix them for 48hrs after many hours wasted going over the same things time and time again.

  • phantastictung t (@phantastictung) reported

    Jb hifi is havin a promo with Telstra and somehow I got $400 off an outright phone... wtf

  • vmainard Vicki Mainard 🇦🇺🕹🏀🐈 Scomo is my PM. (@vmainard) reported

    @bazakel @NewcastleGardia No big surprise there. I am with Vodafone for all my mobile devices. We got rid of Telstra 6 years ago when my Dad passed away and they treated my mother like crap when she asked for his name to be removed from the bill. We're with iprimus for our home internet and phone now.

  • MathoInc Matho (@MathoInc) reported

    @kipstergull @Telstra For a communication company they are pretty ******* crap at it.

  • kipstergull Kipplegull (@kipstergull) reported

    @MathoInc @Telstra Aye. You can be good at what you do, or you can be crap at what you do. They, obviously, choose crap. I find that very disappointing.

  • HollinsMrhump humphrey hollins (@HollinsMrhump) reported

    AMP and Telstra have performed so badly as exposed on the ABC tonight. TLS slumped to less than $2.84 in the GFC. I bought 20,000 in a hotel room in Battambong at $3.06 in 2011. Sold at $6.90 in 2017. Poor TLS self funded retirees. Sack the board you old fools.

  • jobee_71 Jo Horne (@jobee_71) reported

    @MichaelJSky @KrystleRSky @r_nd_rgh Yeah but I think you'll find tech wise we're in the same one. But don't quote me on that. I just had to help organise new phone lines - have had enough of telstra for now... Guessing it's not far off though.

  • mqaiser2 Muhammad Qaiser (@mqaiser2) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra my sim is not able receive or dial a call. Plz help.

  • kipstergull Kipplegull (@kipstergull) reported

    @MathoInc @Telstra Yeah but i got nothing against her, horrible job dealing with pricks like me all day because the management who should be managing stuff don't give a **** eh - same old story

  • pblake Patrick (@pblake) reported

    @Telstra Hi Ollie. As in the thread above, it's been six weeks since my sister's phone was destroyed in a Telstra shop fire and yet her case manager (and their manager) are not contactable, so she just wants the issue resolved quickly and efficiently.

  • AnnieGardener3 Invest in social capital (@AnnieGardener3) reported

    @ColinKi02276809 I hope he doesn't intimidate her like he did the Telstra CEO. That was TERRIBLE to behold.

  • Glenn_SoilAgro iGlenn McDonald (@Glenn_SoilAgro) reported

    @lyndonmickel @Telstra Was told once that it is to do with the power supplied to the tower ($$$)... and that it can be remotely turned up/down based on the level of demand/complaints

  • shortii_jem ShortiiJem 🇦🇺 (@shortii_jem) reported

    You know your desperate for internet when your tempted to move back home just for the speeds and solid connection... I may have just resigned my lease but I'm so tempted to move #internetsucks #nostreamspossible @Telstra your netgear router sucks!

  • ImaMalaca Ima Malaca (@ImaMalaca) reported

    @Telstra You can’t help yourselves yet alone any customer. Profit down, customer loses up, Suppirt sucks as much as your business model.

  • pblake Patrick (@pblake) reported

    @Telstra Hi Tom and co. My sister has still had no luck. She really wants to escalate her complaint, but had no luck over the phone today, as neither the case manager nor their manager are contactable. Coudl we reallocate the case to someone more senior?

  • mrl58 💧rabble rouser (@mrl58) reported

    @Telstra Thank you. If you have a complaint line I would like to bring attention to the very unhelpful rude salesperson my daughter had the displeasure in dealing with. Billie from Forster store.

  • richp14017710 rich palmer (@richp14017710) reported

    @telstra I’ve been dealing with your damn chat service for weeks cancelling my account because I have left the house. Meant to be done and reimbursed. Just had your direct debit go through again today. Give me a number I can call with a person at the other end!

  • TorontoSky Toronto🍁Sky (@TorontoSky) reported

    @Optus Telstra schedule these maintenance over night never skipped a beat. Mistake switching over try Optus.
