  • sharanjit Sharanjit Paddam (@sharanjit) reported

    @Telstra Again, I made my complaint on 12 May. Why is it taking so long to send me a phone you have already charged me for?

  • MarkThommo352 mark thompson (@MarkThommo352) reported

    @Amaralee23 @Lion6272 The mobile wasn’t working at my home rang Telstra they knew not working but sent a large bill for disconnecting

  • PapersVagabond The Vagabond Papers (@PapersVagabond) reported

    @Georgie0466 @RoadknightThe @Telstra I sh!t-listed Telstra 16 years ago because they ripped me off & give dreadful customer service. Nothing's changed by the looks of it.

  • ManInTheMadness Man in the Moon (@ManInTheMadness) reported

    @WATCHMEBURNDOW1 After 18 years as a mobile customer , Telstra are demanding partner provide biometric data to pay bills??? Bye bye to them as they clearly don't need our 💲💲💲💲💲

  • PeterJamesRoth6 Peter James Rothe (@PeterJamesRoth6) reported

    @tonesaysgoleft @cheryl_kernot @abcnews The last 3 board appointees were ex FOXTEL ex Telstra ex 7 network. All 3 from organisations which would benefit from a weaker ABC. Then Ita who has in the past actively organised fundraisers for the Libs.

  • michaelneale mic (@michaelneale) reported

    @stilgherrian @Telstra and the reason it doesn’t show up as an outage is that there is another tower in theory covering the area. In reality that is obviously not true at all, but we are post truth.

  • BGC_1973 Brad C (@BGC_1973) reported

    @oldmate777 @TerryOBrien4 @PeterBo49858290 It was never competitive for the market, telstra was charging less than it should have for wholesale to the competitors and it stifled investments in the network. And labor opposed the sale.

  • JaneInToolleen Jane in Taungurung (@JaneInToolleen) reported

    @tom69712000 @Optus It's been a bit long to sort out but it looks like I've identified an issue Optus wasn't aware of. I'm rural so options are limited and telstra are hopeless. We've got a new optus tower within eyesight so hoping to get it sorted today.

  • EricInAdelaide Eric Was In Adelaide (@EricInAdelaide) reported

    @BaronVonClutch Big pong? Broadband is mostly NBN. Monopoly National Broadband Network. Sort of like Telstra Wholesale was for ADSL. It is Friday. Cars are on track. DON’T MAKE ME TALK WORK! 😎💥🤪

  • daggy_dad Daggy Dad (@daggy_dad) reported

    @Telstra great to get a generic email from a TIO complaint "This is to acknowledge the receipt of the complaint you've raised via the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (TIO). Please call me on [[insert contact number]] "

  • ManInTheMadness Man in the Moon (@ManInTheMadness) reported

    @Telstra Considering every time I called (re: internet being down & other issues) call centre staffers just kept trying to sell us iPhones (resulting in changing to a competitor for other services except partner's mobile) think we'll give that a miss. What a shame.

  • neuralnetdreams P_H_Y_X (@neuralnetdreams) reported

    @Telstra Maybe being you have a flawed service you should then drop the prices across the board? I worked there don't even start me on the trite... #SmokeandMirrors

  • Spiritbender777 Damon Asher (@Spiritbender777) reported

    @PlayStationAU I love the series on Disney plus but couldn’t get the 4K to work on ps5 digital had to end up watching it on Telstra tv in 4K hrd10 so the tv obviously isn’t the problem is there a setting need to change to make my hisense 4K hdr10 60hz tv run Disney plus in 4K games no prob

  • DavoHauser Jake Granville Fan Account (@DavoHauser) reported

    @Telstra @XRBob So Brandon, you message Rob and offer him help, but Viktor basically told me, the original poster, to suck it up and choose between plans

  • ManInTheMadness Man in the Moon (@ManInTheMadness) reported

    After 18 years as loyal customer @Telstra is demanding partner provides biometric info to keep paying phone bills. Mobile can't perform this function & clearly they don't really want or need our 💲💲💲💲💲 Bye bye...

  • DavoHauser Jake Granville Fan Account (@DavoHauser) reported

    @Telstra The options were *********. This is a terrible way to treat a loyal customer. How are U guys in business with plans that expensive

  • RoadknightThe TheRoadknight (@RoadknightThe) reported

    So, I braved the wilds of Geelong CBD to lodge a complaint with Telstra about speeds averaging 0.04mbps when they claim 2 to 50mbps. They gave me a test to perform to eliminate my hardware as the problem. That done, they agreed it is a coverage/capacity problem but... /2

  • sharanjit Sharanjit Paddam (@sharanjit) reported

    @Telstra It has been 10 working days since I raised my complaint, and @Telstra have failed to resolve it or to communicate with me why. This is against their own complaints process. But they can’t do anything about it.

  • wandooridgefarm Wandooridgefarm (@wandooridgefarm) reported

    @Telstra @danking265 @burgess_ag Can you fix my reception ?

  • RoadknightThe TheRoadknight (@RoadknightThe) reported

    My work here is done for another day - half of which was visiting a Telstra store, 45 mins on a phone call and ages in DMs trying to sort problems (read: 'isssssues'). Stay true and valiant. And always choose the right fork in the road.

  • danking265 Dan King (@danking265) reported

    @burgess_ag They’re good if you have good reliable signal but our mates @Telstra don’t seem to have that

  • zyrorl zyrorl (@zyrorl) reported

    @elonmusk I would hazard a guess that also the vast majority of churn from NBN is going to the mobile phone telcos (telstra/optus/vodafone) on 5G, however they're claiming Starlink, which is barely opened here in Australia, as somehow a catastrophic incident to their business model.

  • dwilliamson931 David (@dwilliamson931) reported

    @RoadknightThe Never EVER try to deal with Telstra. Go straight to the Ombudsman. So much easier. Quicker and costs Telstra heaps!!!

  • Pits666 Mr Pits (@Pits666) reported

    @Telstra I know why it is down, no power in the area. Your guys in the GOC are lazy and put details on the alarm in saying it was working and closed it incorrectly in TAM.

  • DavoHauser Jake Granville Fan Account (@DavoHauser) reported

    So nice of @Telstra to email me and tell me they are going to charge me an extra $32/month for my internet plan and halving my upload speeds. Go get royally F'd! What kind of BS customer service is that.

  • ElaineGillett2 Elaine Gillett (@ElaineGillett2) reported

    @RoadknightThe You won't in #FarWestNSW either, and @Telstra baffle you with bs then deny, deny, deny by telling you there is no problem here !!

  • XRBob Rob (@XRBob) reported

    @DavoHauser @Telstra I'm not even a customer. #geniuses

  • RoelofBoer 𝓡𝓸𝓮𝓵𝓸𝓯 𝓑𝓸𝓮𝓻 (Roy) (@RoelofBoer) reported

    @RoadknightThe I have iiNet Ultra Cable WiFi here in Corio. 120+ Meg. The NBN is “No Bloody Network”. It’s not Telstra, it’s the carrier.

  • Georgie0466 🐾 Georgie🐾 (@Georgie0466) reported

    @RoadknightThe @Telstra That is terrible service.
