  • bridgetboson bridget boson (@bridgetboson) reported

    @Telstra It's off!!!!! Its been off all afternoon. Its more surprising when its actually on these days. Yes it is, most of this month data has been unusable. Do you actually read my tweets? Forget it, you don't help & you didnt help the other day either. Go back & read them again!!!

  • r_quazzy ramona quazzola (@r_quazzy) reported

    @snowycats @MikeCarlton01 @LittleCrow777 Ive got an issue with Telstra account. Sorting it out by phone is impossible. My husband tried chat site or whatever they are called which was utterly useless. I will have to brave the shoppers & go into one of their shopping centre retail stores. If not it’s a letter to CEO.

  • jackisaacwise Jack Isaac (@jackisaacwise) reported

    @alexmakin @Haydenfreedom Then when they say they don’t really deal with that tell them yes they do I wrote war and peace to Telstra re an NBN issue four months nothing wasted hours once the TIO complaint was up problem sorted within five days Telstra are the pits.

  • _huwwy Up In Smoke. (@_huwwy) reported

    Has @Telstra exploded or is it just my problem?

  • G31415926535897 OldMan (@G31415926535897) reported

    How long are we into transition to NBN and @Telstra & @andy_penn are still battling to make it work? Speed drops 66%, landline is unstable & customer service poor. “Wait 24hrs for the order to complete & devices to sync”… what nonsense… who should I move to? Penn is full of it.

  • dimoss Michael Dimoudis 👨🏻‍💻⚽️ (@dimoss) reported

    @decryption Great job! Only yesterday I tried to change my email from various orgs to receive bills at a different address. Telstra flat out error’d out. Online chat person said they’ll get back to me wtf! AAMI & SEW I changed my email, but my login creds still remained as old email 😠

  • BirminghamAg Andrew Birmingham (@BirminghamAg) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Hey @Telstra your contact centre is awful.

  • MitchRobinson_ Mitch Robinson (@MitchRobinson_) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @bkubel That’s Telstra, did #StayHome March last year then #StaySafe most of the last year or so, and updated to #LetsVaxx around like June. So far as I know it’s on all phones they support

  • SwimSallySwim 💦💧Sally Edsall (@SwimSallySwim) reported

    @JennaPrice I sacked Telstra and went to Optus, then sacked Optus and wish I could sack Telstra. AGAIN. Our wifi is down for the second time in a week.

  • onmypontoon Maria (@onmypontoon) reported

    @Telstra Telstra my online account was totally deleted when I asked to cancel my direct debit? I spoke to your chat team last night they had no idea. I just called to complain & told it will take 7 - 10 days. I need access to my account. C/c have no idea.

  • Bahdibah Bahdibah (@Bahdibah) reported

    @Telstra This is of a much larger scale and requires more immediate attention and the app is for pits etc not for larger scale damage to exchange buildings

  • avava45 dawn lambie (@avava45) reported

    @Telstra am needing a grandchild (interstate now) to help me, but now it is you I have to ask

  • nigelbeelitz Nigel Beelitz (@nigelbeelitz) reported

    @pjolley19 @Telstra Only 10km’s out, that’s disappointing. I was really hoping the Covid shot was going to help, I’ve had both mine and still havn’t seen any improvement.

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

    @masericha The double (flat) cable is Telstra Landline, the round cable is Optus HFC - both useless. This looks more like "some guy" (speak non telstra/optus) pulled them down and tight them to the pole.

  • Bahdibah Bahdibah (@Bahdibah) reported

    @Telstra Well I have spoken to this team regarding this and was told explicitly that they do not log these and can only be done on the app. I have accessed the webform and again this does not cover it so I will leave it go as is. If you want more details on the issue and a contact can dm.

  • mattninness Mattitude08 (@mattninness) reported

    You have to be a special kind of idiot to work in the @Telstra call centre. Absolutely terrible service, no idea, just follow a script, no interest in solving a problem or helping #terribletelstra #telstra

  • jervisbaygirl Leanne Windsor (@jervisbaygirl) reported

    @Telstra No case number, ever. Just the same empty words and promises every time we call. We are paying good money for a service that is well below par. Our upload speed today was 5.53 mbps. We are paying for 50. It’s never been above 20. Unbelievable!!!

  • DevereauxChris Christopher Devereaux (@DevereauxChris) reported

    @VodafoneAU Already made multiple calls to Vodafone - was bounced around aimlessly and informed there are no options to help us. Staying with @Telstra for a new iPhone. Terrible experience. Guess you need a 7-figure income to sign up for a $40 plan with @VodafoneAU.. Ludicrous.

  • Haydenfreedom Hayden (@Haydenfreedom) reported

    I’m going to top off my day by speaking to Telstra about issues with my nbn. Pray. For. Me. 😩

  • FynnWereShep Fynn 🐺✨ (@FynnWereShep) reported

    @RallexRingtail @big_leviathan Telstra providing good service ******* pipe dream

  • BadGeoBec BadGeoBec (@BadGeoBec) reported

    I’ve finally voted with my feet and signed up for a different internet service provider and am consigning Telstra to the bin. Call me idealistic but I’m hoping this will mean the internet works again in my house

  • JohnVilnis John Vilnis (@JohnVilnis) reported

    Damn, my internet went out completely about an hour ago and not looking likely to return soon. ISP help desk is closed at 3am and no other access to tell anyone about the problem. @telstra is not looking good right now. Even my cable TV is out.

  • BlknWhtKat MMKreasionMM (@BlknWhtKat) reported

    @dsr150250 @Tim_jbo Don’t think we ever knew or cared where electricity came from &we never wasted it. We never had the multitude of electrical devices & technology to throw away or continually upgrade. Our phone lasted 40 years & still would be usable but Telstra removed the infrastructure

  • Bahdibah Bahdibah (@Bahdibah) reported

    @Telstra No this hasn't been lodged, the people on the damages line, although advised, have not logged this and told me the only way It can be done is via the app. The app does not support this damage type and anything urgent is referred to the damages line. Was offered a 48hr complaint

  • bpphantom Bile Ghoul #TransRightsAreHumanRights (@bpphantom) reported

    @JohnVilnis @Telstra Uh-oh. That never ends well. Here's to a swift resolution by the engi's.

  • bridgetboson bridget boson (@bridgetboson) reported

    @Telstra Telstra rural/regional mobile is a joke. There's brilliant mobile service in the third world. I don't understand how Telstra manages to make it so unreliable, unfit for purpose, badly administered & expensive. I have 2gigs left on my internet & 100's on my mobile I can't use!

  • crynbrian CrynBrian Peter Hudson (@crynbrian) reported

    @JoyceRheen Telstra us the Only one I have a dealing with on this list,never do Macca's

  • HYP3RSTRIKE 𝙃𝙔𝙋𝙀𝙍☢️ #TryYouTube (@HYP3RSTRIKE) reported

    @_Food_Ninja @TeaMan2077 @AGL To be fair, retail providers have next to no ability to guarantee service for VOIP as a replacement to traditional PSTN services. If it's a PSTN service, it's reliant on Telstra and their techs fixing the service because the lines are rented via Telstra Wholesale.

  • TaleenShamlian Taleen Shamlian 🧜🏼‍♀️ (@TaleenShamlian) reported

    @TheKouk I was at Cw’th TSY in 2000 when we were considering CGS market given Telstra proceeds and fiscal position was paying off gross debt. Options were to shut it down or combine it with semis to keep it liquid? Not sure when we will ever be in that fiscal position again 💰 💴 📉

  • nigelbeelitz Nigel Beelitz (@nigelbeelitz) reported

    Hey @Telstra what was going on with your mobile coverage north of Lameroo today? It was rat ****!
