Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • NoireWriter Jeffrey James (@NoireWriter) reported

    @Telstra It is working fine at the moment, but if the past three days are a guide, it will slow or stop intermittently throughout the day. The "Is ??? Down" website lists it as down whenever it stops.

  • biggeralex_alex Alex (@biggeralex_alex) reported

    @Telstra WTF - i have wasted my time cause you keep pushing a very useless App !!! Its like your pushing drugs … what a waste of time - a telephone discourages you using the telephone to talk !!

  • parradoesmatta joe (@parradoesmatta) reported

    Anyone had anything to do with Aussie broadband? Would appreciate any feedback. Looking to move on from @Telstra no loyalty after 25 years and decide to up the prices and slow down my internet.

  • Daniel44413189 Daniel (@Daniel44413189) reported

    @Telstra Would you rather me make a complaint to customers relations about this matter seem as all yous send us customers around in circles

  • ilankesan ilankesan (@ilankesan) reported

    I got a new silent phone number when I signed up for the Telstra NBN three weeks ago and I haven’t given it to anyone. Yesterday I got a scam call from Nicole from NBN threatening to terminate my service. @Telstra how did my number get out to these crooks?

  • TheAlbaMan Martin Reid (@TheAlbaMan) reported

    @Telstra We had three contracts for 2+ years. the Numbers were 0456003470 (Martin Reid) My son Callum and Logan 0488004508 and 0429653666. As you can see there has been no usage for three months. Can you cancel them asap as the billing is tomorrow. Thanks to advise

  • ozgeekmum ozgeekmum (@ozgeekmum) reported

    @Telstra Is there a way of getting email support if I already have a case number from a previous call? I need APN specs for a Nighthawk

  • anthonyspiteri Anthony Spiteri (@anthonyspiteri) reported

    @ShaunMcLagan @Telstra I just went through 8 weeks to network unlock a phone I bought for Tom… went through 5 seperate 7-10 business day periods to get the job done… which they advertise as and charge for as a service.

  • NoireWriter Jeffrey James (@NoireWriter) reported

    @Telstra It sometimes says that there is an outage, then it doesn't. It is a recurring issue, WHY?

  • baoyusi Claire AC 💉💉🥉🏅🥇🥈 包玉思 (@baoyusi) reported

    @Telstra Sorry Glenn. Telstra had their chance. Thank you for reaching out, but NEVER again.

  • freocookster Freocookster ⚓ Easy A.Z (@freocookster) reported

    So I haven't had data to my phone from @Telstra for months and now I don't even have phone service. I cannot think of a worse service model in Australian history. If you were a real business Telstra, you'd be dead in the water #WorstServiceEver

  • JohnLutge John Lutge 🐀 (@JohnLutge) reported

    @Telstra It's an area wide outage that has been foing for ywoyand a half weeks. Postcode 2049. Thanks for your non existant supporr during lockdown.

  • NoireWriter Jeffrey James (@NoireWriter) reported

    @Telstra What the hell is happening to your network on the Gold Coast? For three days it's been consistently dropping out, running so slow and unreliably that online devices like Google and Amazon's Alexa are constantly flashing "Check your internet connection" on their screens.

  • JohnLutge John Lutge 🐀 (@JohnLutge) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra It's an area wide outage that has been going for two and a half weeks. Postcode 2049. Unacceptable lack of support. Especially during lockdown.

  • spannerhead29 Saya Iida Himself (@spannerhead29) reported

    @Telstra Internet has slowed down to 100-200 kbps download speed

  • jbthinking John Ball (@jbthinking) reported

    @NBN_Australia Thanks for your assistance so far @NBN_Australia. I have asked a question in DM about the charges to activate the existing second line on top of the fees from Telstra that is currently unanswered. Do I have to pay again for the existing second service on top of normal fees?

  • QweenSalty salty (@QweenSalty) reported

    @Telstra I'm in lockdown, without broadband I can't work & my kids are missing school, I've repeatedly asked for the fault to be escalated but they refuse to do it and keep passing me to a new "expert" who won't help, it's doing my head in

  • freocookster Freocookster ⚓ Easy A.Z (@freocookster) reported

    Is it fair to say that @Telstra is possibly the most inept organisation in the world? I couldn't imagine what worse customer service would even look like!

  • Paradoxa18 Paradoxa (@Paradoxa18) reported

    @vicemergency Are you sure? Did not receive an alert of a fire at emergency level within 10kms. (Nov 21 2019) Telstra says that auto notification service not available here. Is it now?

  • freocookster Freocookster ⚓ Easy A.Z (@freocookster) reported

    You bastards @Telstra, you fail to provide the service I'm paying you for - DATA TO MY PHONE - and today you've axed my phone service. You are without doubt the worst service provider in Australia's history and it's a disgrace you're allowed to continue trading.

  • TheAlbaMan Martin Reid (@TheAlbaMan) reported

    @Telstra I moved back to the US three months ago from Australia but in the move forgot to cancel my mobile number. Im still being debited monthly. What is a number I could call to do this pls. Thanks to advise

  • dockergirl3 sandy jones (@dockergirl3) reported

    @Telstra @jriewolod Try ringing them and get someone who can help, you have more chance of winning lotto!

  • RLGriffinTweets Rob (@RLGriffinTweets) reported

    I got my second covid vaccination today and I'm extremely pissed off. It turns out Optus and Telstra don't even service my suburb with 5G. What was the point!?

  • NoireWriter Jeffrey James (@NoireWriter) reported

    @Telstra It isn't just our office, it's the local waterfront community at Runaway Bay and Paradise Point. I dropped into the Runaway Bay Police station on an unrelated matter and was told that they were having intermittent and/or very slow access. As is the Library. What is happening?

  • Protenpinner Clifford Stewart (@Protenpinner) reported

    @Telstra This was about 8 years ago. It ended up being paid off but more was paid on top of the Sim plan AFAIK. It's a non issue now but was sort of at the time.

  • QweenSalty salty (@QweenSalty) reported

    @Telstra my ADSL has been intermittently down for the past 3 days since my neighbour dug up the nature strip where the pit and cable are located. Nobody at Telstra faults will help me, I spent 4 hours troubleshooting with idiots who told me to call the local council FFS

  • Daniel44413189 Daniel (@Daniel44413189) reported

    @Telstra Sorry knudle I'm waiting to speak to ash I have already confirmed it with him and have confirmed it with telstra over the phone billing complaint

  • LiamJ2000 LJ (@LiamJ2000) reported

    @Telstra @jimmyrees Your internet is so ******* **** holy ****!! I recommend switching to Optus.

  • Aussietranstara Tara #SaveSense8 #Boycott@gladysb (@Aussietranstara) reported

    @Telstra @amazon @Google I am talking about phone calls, not controlling my lights etc, I have poor mobile reception at home so I use smart speakers to make and receive calls.

  • ziadadasi Ziad Adasi (@ziadadasi) reported

    @Telstra thanks for the bad Internet service, no 4g back up and terrible customer service. Can someone with an idea please help
