Telstra Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • bigal Alan Chalmers (@bigal) reported

    @dlutzy Of course that's when we running fibre everywhere and not buying Telstra's crumbling old copper at top dollar. Since I have gone 5G I'll never go back .

  • whisperfist C. Aleph (@whisperfist) reported

    @ozwildflower @propinqua @Telstra Yep. Your ‘fun’ included in my ‘support chat’ these last few days. (Under my replies, since directly at Telstra.) Gave them the Australian unique exchange number, what level of ADSL protocol (& physical line) was working, & which level IP wasn’t. Still >1d to start investigation.

  • DEARESTMIL0 🦈 milo/sharky 🍊🧃 | little spoon era (@DEARESTMIL0) reported

    @sleepysimping it's a mobile network?? omg does america not have telstra wait

  • RaiZdbyDINGOES Jason (@RaiZdbyDINGOES) reported from Gold Coast, State of Queensland

    @OrdinaryGamers I waiting for the day I get a cold call from an Indian telemarketer, and I get "Hello, my name is Mutahar from Telstra, How can I help you?"

  • ColinTheMathmo Colin Wright (@ColinTheMathmo) reported

    @Telstra PS: I appreciate the response, and I'm keen to get this sorted. However, having had email to the postmaster address *also* bounced, I don't know what to try next. The solution you quote won't work as long as the postmaster address also bounces my emails.

  • Detafo 🙉🙈🙊Alli || illA🙊🙈🙉 (@Detafo) reported

    @altomumma Internet is dropping in and out, Telstra says all is fine and so it must be on my end, have rebooted twice and now my PS4 won't connect so I can't watch Disney plus and I'm just feeling like ****.

  • gorgeousdunny1 💧Don Wilson (@gorgeousdunny1) reported

    @VardyMagic Good to know. Just been trying since about 1100am to reconnect to Kayo and proving much like the Crows 2020. For some reason, possibly my old age, the login details, my email and password don't match. Same thing at Telstra Kayo. Kayo've been in touch, and I may get lucky yet.

  • ColinTheMathmo Colin Wright (@ColinTheMathmo) reported

    @madebyburton @Telstra I don't have control of the IP address. It's the IP address of my email hosting, not of my website. I could simply send the report via another email address, but if their documented reporting process doesn't work, they should be made aware. It proceeds ...

  • whisperfist C. Aleph (@whisperfist) reported

    @Telstra Hello again Telstra. I also have an unresolved query about your ‘outages page’, and why there apparently is no record of previously reported (and hopefully resolved) outages. Not expecting this to be answered by frontline support staff, but your bosses should be held accountable.

  • Swarzey Jamie (@Swarzey) reported

    @TimothyJ_23 I think the corporate unrest was the Telstra/Vodafone situation last year...a problem V'landys created himself lmaooo

  • PaulZauch Paul Zauch (@PaulZauch) reported

    @MDKimagery @Paulbruning66 @CaroDiRusso Hang on - wasn’t Howard’s privatisation of Telstra responsible for Thommo’s outside edge? Or was that the underarm against the Kiwis? Either way, did you hear? The sandpaper in Capetown - bloody belonged to ScoMo!! #ThingsThatAreMorrisonsFault

  • jasondunn Jason Dunn (@jasondunn) reported

    @stevesi 10 years ago an Australian friend told me that Telstra was doing a “bulk plan” where you’d just buy 10GB of data for your mobile device, it never expired, you just used it until it was gone then you added more. I’d do that in a heartbeat, but US carriers don’t do things like that

  • ColinTheMathmo Colin Wright (@ColinTheMathmo) reported

    @alanrew @Telstra That is correct. But if they have a system for reporting these issues, and that system doesn't work, is there not value in raising their awareness of that as well as getting the problem fixed?

  • alanrew Alan Rew (@alanrew) reported

    @ColinTheMathmo @Telstra Can't you just email them from a free email account e.g. Gmail, just to tell them about the problem? Problem reporting need not be from your own email server, surely?

  • Ninjacmd Christine Dalton (@Ninjacmd) reported

    @Telstra No did trouble shooting on Friday and technician said I need NBN tech to attend m6 home, appointment made for Monday 8am to 12pm. They turn up today

  • ColinTheMathmo Colin Wright (@ColinTheMathmo) reported

    @Telstra Thanks ... it's late here and I'll soon be going to bed, but I'll pick up replies in the morning. In anticipation I can, if it would help, put the entire bounce message, including headers, on a server and DM you the link.

  • claudedwalker Claude Walker (@claudedwalker) reported

    @christian_tym I hate bad reception. Switched to Telstra due to better reception but would pay $$$ for extra speed, coverage and reliability!

  • propinqua Leonie (@propinqua) reported

    @Telstra I understand that. The issue I was trying to ask about was that I had been told extra data had been added to my mobile but it hasn’t. That’s why I feel like they weren’t actually reading my messages

  • fantastikforce fantastikforce (@fantastikforce) reported

    @SydneyMetroIIWT Yes I noticed this last Monday. Reached out to Telstra about it and they said they were not aware of any issues. Glad to know it wasn't just me as I experienced this on both rides to and from work.

  • AndrewKastoras Andrew Kastoras (@AndrewKastoras) reported

    @an_leavy Oh no , I know the stress I’m under in my house when we have issues and can only imagine given what you do , cmon Telstra get this baby back on line

  • nnwakelam Хавиж Наффи 🥕 (@nnwakelam) reported

    Hey @Telstra I’ve had three people in your overseas call centre put me on hold or hang up.

  • ColinTheMathmo Colin Wright (@ColinTheMathmo) reported

    @mathSamaths1729 @Telstra Thanks for the response ... My home address is a dynamic IP, but these are emails being sent from my hosted service, which is static. So restarting the router won't have any effect, and I can't route through VPNs, or do other things. It's my hosting IP address that's blocked.

  • mitsubaan Toonie 🧸 (@mitsubaan) reported

    @Telstra i bought a prepaid thing and my data wont work? I got the text saying that my recharge was successful but it certainly isnt working. Ive tried updating my phone, restarting my phone, restarting my network settings and it still wont happen

  • BenKlingberg Ben Klingberg (@BenKlingberg) reported

    Gotta say @Telstra, your reception is pretty poor. Just had my first COVID vaccine an hour ago and the 5G chips haven’t picked up any signal at all.

  • AussiemacJ iDrew (@AussiemacJ) reported

    @propinqua @WgarNews @Telstra When you get past the robot “Cody”, you’re “routed” to Mumbai or Manila & possibly weeks (or months) on end - before you’ll get a resolution, if at all !

  • ramoi1980 Terrible Tweeter (@ramoi1980) reported

    @Telstra your phone service is a disgrace. We have accidently cut through the copper cable providing phone line and internet. Your geniuses on the phone directed me to NBN then hung up. They're wrong. Telstra provide copper phone lines, not Nbn. Please contact me and fix this

  • Ninjacmd Christine Dalton (@Ninjacmd) reported

    @Telstra unhappy customer. No internet, Foxtel since Thursday- was expecting NBN technician Monday between 8am to 12pm. Technician calls today and says I am here, we are out. Now Telstra has closed my fault and says they cannot proceed. I need this fixed

  • TPythia The_Pythia (@TPythia) reported

    @Telstra I don't need help thanks. I was just trying to help another Twitter user who was in the Codi badlands.

  • BBlurto Barry K. Atkins Esq. (@BBlurto) reported

    @Telstra @OzHaras Still trying to convince people that worse service is better service.

  • madebyburton Burton (@madebyburton) reported

    @ColinTheMathmo @Telstra I understand the frustration. Yeah, they need to be aware of the situation. :) Is the controller of the IP address that is connected to your email hosting service contacting the service provider as well to unblock the IP address?
