Telstra Issues Reports

  • joffiez Joffie (@joffiez) reported

    @JamesKi67305564 @HankMeyerNAPP You can thank Abbott and Turnbull for our **** Internet. They reversed the Gillard decision to install fibre to the premises. Appeasing Telstra and corporate mates sucking up the dividends that were paid for by the taxpayer through govt subsidy to rent obsolete Telstra wires.

  • matthewcaine298 Matthew Caine (@matthewcaine298) reported

    @Kimbo_jSlice @craigthomler @ChrisMinnsMP A bad example. They should never have privatized the network as the private service providers flat out refused to pay Telstra for the full cost of their usage. Selling off Telstra's retail arm was fine, but not the physical network itself.

  • Chevy70 Phil Lewis (@Chevy70) reported

    @Telstra is the internet down in Denmark Western Australia. Business is hurting at the moment

  • itsdeanclifford Dean Clifford (@itsdeanclifford) reported

    @trevorlong Whenever we have rain (lucky to only have minor rain) our internet drops out or slows down. Telstra gen 3 modem has gone from green, to orange to red to blue in a continual loop for 2 days now. Do you have any advice how we can get in fixed in our st? All neighbours say the same.

  • tigers42020 Tigerland Terror 🐯2017🏆2019🏆2020🏆🐯 (@tigers42020) reported

    @CalamityJanie @Telstra For an organisation with the most expensive plans going you would at least expect a level of service commensurate with cost. Yeah? Nah....

  • rosysmum Jane Cadugan (@rosysmum) reported

    @Telstra why did u cut off the internet early from my elderly mother when she changed home phone plan. It clearly was noted it should be 11th July & was cut off 5th July. Now no internet to help Visiting grandkids in school holidays. It will take 24 hours to provision & restore.

  • optoio OptoIsolated IO (@optoio) reported

    Telstra: Without exception, THE WORST customer experince I have ever had with a company. 4 Months, upwards of 30 of phone calls, lost services, missed appointments. All to move a phone number from one provider to Telstra. Will never recommend again.

  • sarahvmac Sarah Macdonald 💉💉💉 (@sarahvmac) reported

    @Telstra Yes Glenn. My mum internet and home phone been down since Thursday promised calls back to troubleshoot not occurred.

  • TheSagging Ray Morgan (@TheSagging) reported

    @theluckylance It was the state premiers carried the main burden, Howard just gets the credit. The QLD premier lost his job over it. I’d agree the gun laws implemented while he was PM helped. Selling all our **** like the CBA and Telstra didn’t.

  • directordoc Doctor Doc Dockington (@directordoc) reported

    @JPKUNTTY @SwannyQLD - Telstra - All the energy providers - Airports across Australia - Medibank - Port of Darwin (to the Chinese on a 99yr lease) - Motorways across Australia Not an exhaustive list, but enough proof that if it isn't nailed down the LNP will sell it.

  • merilyn066 Meri (@merilyn066) reported

    @Telstra @elonmusk Can you make a service to the Kimberley reliable?

  • didToWinaPrize Mookie 🐻 & Mel 🏳️‍⚧️ (@didToWinaPrize) reported

    @sarahvmac @Telstra I found 23 call and 4 broken appointment is about standard... @Telstra want proof ? ..Sarah if you mother has a medical issues, get a letter from her GP, and send a copy to Telstra, I do suggest that you contact Telstra to make sure they have entered the letter... My experiences

  • ClarieceBooty 👑 Just Clariece 💋 (@ClarieceBooty) reported

    @Telstra @Antony_Clements It doesn’t look like a problem, it is. And there are many people who are proof of that. I’m wondering how many people were affected negatively when Telstra changed to this? How many people have changed providers since the change? 2/3 smaller payments are better than 1 big one.

  • fringedwattle Flowering Wattle (@fringedwattle) reported

    @suedav1 @Qantas Shocking service. Their service in Australia domestic is disgusting. Always late ! Reliably late !! Never again. And their staff are worse than Telstra customer service.

  • H_the_Cat H_the_Cat😼 (@H_the_Cat) reported

    No 5G, 4G or 3G. Struggling on H connection. THIS **** from Telstra is what I pay for 😬

  • Lerutea Kaede 楓 (@Lerutea) reported

    @Telstra We just called Telstra and said there was an outage for the area. We have a new dongle. Can we use it in meantime?

  • ClarieceBooty 👑 Just Clariece 💋 (@ClarieceBooty) reported

    @Telstra @Antony_Clements Hi Ash, thank you for your time but I have already tried talking and finding a solution with Telstra many times and unfortunately it’s not something Telstra is willing to change anytime soon so I will be taking my business elsewhere soon. Have a good week.

  • journalofsammy sammy (@journalofsammy) reported

    does anyone have a Telstra account that can help me get red hot chill pepper tickets? my pop can’t get into his account 😭😭

  • gstacey marinka stacey (@gstacey) reported

    @sarahvmac @Telstra I feel your pain. Switched to Aussie broadband. Never looked back.

  • endlessbees Melissa (@endlessbees) reported

    @drangiedakas I have tried Optus, Telstra, and Aussie Broadband. You do you, but in my personal experience, the customer service and greater consistency of Aussie Broadband won out.

  • StellaSiren1 Stella Siren (@StellaSiren1) reported from Albany, State of Western Australia

    Does any1 care that i had no TV or connectivity for 3 weeks? GOD Bless Telstra 4 rural service 5g yay....bye Vodafone. #technology

  • heidierr Heidi the Hermit (@heidierr) reported

    @Telstra I hope so because it's been nearly a week. Had to compensate my bnb guests because the promised wifi was not available. GP husband unable to use work server as mobile internet too slow using phone as hotspot.

  • EDQ_ED Eating Disorders Queensland (@EDQ_ED) reported

    @VonexLtd calls to Telstra to fix IP issues we never had, but all of a sudden appear. E-mails saying ‘your account has now been set up’??

  • MickyJ62581957 MickJ (@MickyJ62581957) reported

    @abc730 I don't know what level of research you guys do, Australia might not have had any launches but for 30+ years the satellite group at Perth International Communications Centre (OTC Telstra Inmarsat) have been doing launch support and TTCM for every major global space agency. 🙄

  • autocatharsis Autocatharsis (@autocatharsis) reported

    @Rlesc1 @lavosaurus Aldimobile uses Telstra network. Better bang for buck IMHO.

  • didToWinaPrize Mookie 🐻 & Mel 🏳️‍⚧️ (@didToWinaPrize) reported

    @Telstra @sarahvmac The 23 call and 4 broken promises, that true too ... Unless you have a Priority Assistance

  • OwenQuinlan7 That one video encoding guy (@OwenQuinlan7) reported

    @Telstra Nah it's all good. Ordered a new phone through Telstra business last Monday and it's taking a little longer than expected to get here. Not a super large issue

  • FairAusPol Lyn @Life Is Good (@FairAusPol) reported

    @Ballyurra Prioe to NBN, my copper wired internet would stop, completely. Every single time it rained, a Telstra tech would need to call out to fix it. Fortunately, over a decade we had very few rainfalls. Only time drought is a positive 👍

  • Lerutea Kaede 楓 (@Lerutea) reported

    @Telstra Hi Telstra, is there an outage at Carrum Downs? We came into our business with the internet down and already did the troubleshooting with no luck. We are trying to call but my boss is on holidays with the account in his name.

  • DianaDJ7 Diana DJ (@DianaDJ7) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @bobbylosbravos @bcurrall80 I get 50GB for $45/month on Telstra thru a pre-paid plan I bought from JB Hi-Fi. They were the only Telstra reseller I could find and I refuse to go to Optus or Vodafone due to terrible experiences in the past.
