Telstra Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Adam B (@sevenofcrime) reported@nemagovau Hope it doesn’t rely on a 20 year network time protocol server in a disused lavatory at Telstra HQ.
-
Peter Leversha (@PeterLeversha) reported@merchant_s35416 @Bender_Aus Privatising telecom was the right thing to do. And selling off Telstra was an even better idea. Both were drains in the economy. Trying to get telecom to fix anything used to be a pain in the butt. Look at NBN, over priced garbage. There's nothing wrong with a user pays system. Why should people in Horsham pay for a road they don't use in Melbourne?
-
Tori Oz (@fisk_tori) reported@andrew_thaler @nemagovau They forced me to download data on my phone by cutting my service off until I did.. telstra confirmed it was the " govt"
-
Richo (@Richo38896671) reported@Telstra @Jess_H19 What's that going to prove? For the last couple of days my Internet has been useless. I have tried to do a speed test but your link wouldn't open! The service at present is intermittent. When it works it's fine. A speed test is only a snap shot. When it doesn't it doesn't.

Ian Linklater (@IanLinklater5) reported@Telstra Gol Gol 2738 This really sucks . I don't t do apps of anything .
-
Ishmaelah Bonne (@IshmaelahBonne) reported@Telstra @sportsnallPT Again! Last week the network went down and people died because emergency services weren't available. Should never have privatised the company and with your over paid useless executives
-
💧Daren Connor 🇦🇺 (@connor_daren) reportedSince the @Telstra outage, the mobile coverage of the Telstra network has dropped significantly & also slowed significantly.
-
Paul Garcia 🇺🇸 🇦🇺 (@PaulCoInc) reported@teslaownersSV So @Telstra says this could save lives but its not available for anyone with prepaid service. They figure people with prepaid service lives don't matter? That's the message they are sending.
-
Amicus Curiae (@AmicusCuri99068) reportedoh yeah WE KNEW THAT! coverage went to **** and still IS!4gs ****** It’s true; the 3G shutdown created mobile coverage ghost towns Telstra chief executive Vicki Brady has revealed a Starlink workaround for Australians unable to call triple-0 after the 3G shutdown created mobile dead zones. (paywalled Tiser)
-
Helmut Brodesser (@hbrodesser) reported@trobb158 @FetchStep Especially one that echoes Barnaby Joyce’s moronic suggestion of a link between the Telstra blackout and a Chinese rocket test.
-
me (@Worthbeing) reportedMy reception on my Nighthawk is disgraceful on the Sth Durras South Coast of NSW, continually dropping out, I am on Telstra and have and are paying substantial costs for this service @Telstra @telstra.
-
deirdre ritchie (@deirdreritchi10) reported@OhappySt Mine didn't go off. It was a great time to do it when Telstra is having issues over the next few days. They had sent me a message about that.
-
Ladybugfunk (@ladybugfunk) reportedSo the government can spam all our phones but they can’t stop the curry muncher scammers from calling us under the pretence of - solar panels, batteries, Telstra tech support, ANZ Bank security executive - lol that last one was hilarious. given I knew head of security of a large corporation and nobody in head office would be calling customers. Ever. **** you very much Albo!
-
Orstraya (@orstraya) reported@FarCueCunce Contractor for NBN Co. My olds were hooked up 10yrs ago and while they used the existing Telstra conduit to the house, the inside install was terrible - left a big hole in the wall behind the NTU, which let spiders into the house until I found it years later and patched it up.
-
Jess H (@Jess_H19) reported@Telstra Yes I have reset both phones multiple times over the past days trying to fix data failures, calls not going through, poor signal, messages not notifying. Why am I having to reset so often to get basic function?
-
Jacko (@MichaelJacko70) reportedWhy in a capital city do all fail with internet coverage In out back Truganina phones and internet mobile connection are a massive fail. @Telstra @Optus @amaysimAU
-
Adésọjí (@sam4se) reported@cb_doge "Telstra CEO confirms Starlink could connect Australians in mobile dead zones to emergency services. Game-changer."
-
Aberrant Gentile (@AberrantGentile) reported@nemagovau If i receive the alert on the phones i had to replace because they couldn't call one number on one network that i don't use, "000" on Voda network. Then i want those phones imei numbers reinstated on the Telstra & Optus, that i have sims for. The public/private partnership scam

Tesla Owners Silicon Valley (@teslaownersSV) reportedNEWS: Telstra says Starlink could help save lives in Australia's remote regions. 🇦🇺 • Telstra CEO Vicki Brady says Starlink can help people stranded outside mobile coverage contact emergency services. • Telstra has partnered with SpaceX to bring Starlink Direct-to-Cell satellite messaging to Australia. • Eligible customers can send satellite text messages to friends or family when no terrestrial mobile signal is available. • The service is designed to provide a critical communication option in remote and isolated areas. Starlink Direct-to-Cell is bringing emergency connectivity to places where traditional mobile networks can't reach.
-
Helmut Brodesser (@hbrodesser) reported@JasonClareMP How about using unsubstantiated, incorrect Sinophobic fear mongering to distract from the real reason for the Telstra blackout, like you and Barnaby Joyce did with your moronic suggestion of a link between China’s rocket test and the Telstra blackout.
-
Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@CrySlyFly @ialihasaan @Batman2242 Telstra didn't want to bid as Sol Trulijio hated Labor. They ended up not putting in a valid proposal. The other bidders weren't able to provide bids with sufficient financial support.
-
Enertium AI Cyber Defence (@enertium) reported@CompSciFutures Holy kow I can’t believe Telstra and COA VICPOL still have not reconnected my M2M Medical emergency assistance sims. I’m supposed to be working on Tier 1 NOC for this cyber crisis. @FSF even prepaid me in stickers!!! F off McKinsey. See my GitHub: APMonitor. It’s big in NYC as a B NOC, because: walking down the street and throwing a date point over the fence. 🤘🤘🤘
-
Mark A (@MarkA5859) reportedI really am angry the LNP rooted the NBN. Now I have to seriously consider Musk’s Starlink for my Internet especially since both Telstra & Optus have & are having issues.
-
Madre Swift Justice (@JayStill4) reported@SistaRuthDOPD Remember after that 1st major Telstra outage we received emails yelling us to upgrade our phones? What happened to that? I got 2 emails and then it all disappeared
-
Casus Belli 🇦🇺🇦🇺 (@PHILIPDOWLING4) reportedHow many other single points of failure does the Telstra network have ? How long since Telstra
-
Jacqui 🇦🇺🌴🌺🌴🌸 (@jaxsunsurf) reported@Gizmologist_ Funny how telco’s never had this problem before wouldn’t surprise me if Telstra orchestrated Optus outage to knock them out of the market like Qantas did to Rex blocking airports We’ve had polair lately at night doing thermal mapping of the area fly round almost 2hrs each time
-
Key Phaser (@KeyPhaser) reported@Ausbobsmit @lay440318 SHY was all fired up for the Telstra outage, all fire and brimstone. But we never saw this passion for Bondi.

Brian Basson (@BassonBrain) reported"Asia Pacific went from world first to regional wave in 18 months" In December 2024, One NZ’s Satellite TXT debuted as the region’s first Starlink D2D service, available at no cost to eligible customers. It spans approximately 40% of New Zealand’s total landmass, where terrestrial coverage is unavailable, as well as roughly 20 km offshore. KDDI followed in April 2025 with au Starlink Direct, Japan’s first D2D service, then added app data in August 2025, support for a limited set of bandwidth-light apps beyond texting, and the first D2D data service anywhere. Telstra launched Australia’s first satellite texting product in early June 2025. One NZ added app data, including WhatsApp voice calls, in February 2026. SoftBank and docomo launched in April 2026, making Japan the only market where three operators run live Starlink services. Globe became the latest in the sequence in June 2026 with the Philippines’ first commercial satellite-to-mobile permit from the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC).

💧💦Tara Venn (@TaraVenn) reported@deborahbrian Me. Probably due to Telstra black-out/inteferance from Pitch Black... I suppose defence (spelt with a 'c' cookers) takes precedence over Emergency Alerts? 🤔
-
Susan Peak (@SusanGPeak) reported@Michelle71966 SORRY about 'dad' and tech issues. I feel the same (mind you, I'm probably younger than dad), but we weren't brought up with devices. Also, companies take shortcuts to save cash. Updates and safeguards are avoided. In Australia, telco Telstra has failed us. Put lives at risk.
