  • Jebus3211 71st Jebus | Jebus 7 (@Jebus3211) reported

    @DarkViperAU @Telstra Telstra consumer grade plans are by far the biggest **** storm I've ever dealt with. I feel for you brother.

  • kregginz Kregginz 🇮🇹 | Ram lover | 7 days for bday!!! (@kregginz) reported

    @DarkViperAU @Telstra I had problem myself with these kinds of things here in italy It's just as bad

  • sydneymediagirl Sydneymediagirl (@sydneymediagirl) reported

    @Telstra I've done this already! I'm on the phone yet again trying to get help. I have no mobile!!!!!

  • episode2480 B E Ayshford (@episode2480) reported

    @NBWT__ Didn't Graham Annersley get into trouble as an MP, for getting Telstra installed in a property he bought without paying for it.

  • sydneymediagirl Sydneymediagirl (@sydneymediagirl) reported

    @Telstra Your useless bad attitude consultant just hung up on me~

  • ArtemisAugust Down the Rabbit hole 🐰 (@ArtemisAugust) reported

    @Telstra Having a few technical issues.. Is Telstra mobile currently down? 🥴 thanks!

  • chris__mara Chris Marantelli (@chris__mara) reported

    @Telstra Still in 3041, as I have been for past six years while I’ve been dealing with your internet service

  • Josh_B_Rosner Josh 👨‍👨‍👧 🌈 ✡️ (@Josh_B_Rosner) reported

    So @Apple no longer includes a charger with new phones, & @Telstra forces customers to pay ONLY via direct debit on a fixed date, removing customer control, ownership, & ability to budget. Owning a phone that will cease working in 2 years is a **** show.

  • gtvone Simon ******* (@gtvone) reported

    @Telstra Hey not at all, always doing anything to take down a chance a scammer wins. 👊

  • Cat41968 Cat. Just Cat. (@Cat41968) reported

    @Telstra This has been an ongoing issue since early July, coincided with data limits being raised. (Was 80gig limit, now 180limit)

  • black_flag black_flag (@black_flag) reported

    hey @Telstra my NBN has been down for weeks. Have called you more times than I care to mention - and each call is more useless than the previous one. Your people keep blaming the @NBN_Australia. I don't care who's at fault, I need my nbn connection fixed. What a joke.

  • chris__mara Chris Marantelli (@chris__mara) reported

    @Telstra No, but there never is, is there?

  • lizoluwi Liz Brown (@lizoluwi) reported

    @Saints_Dragons @johnny_doe2010 @Aussie_BB Yes. After years with telstra was so nice to good support.

  • Cat41968 Cat. Just Cat. (@Cat41968) reported

    @Telstra having a major issue with 5g speed ever since data plan has been increased. Why has the quality dropped so significantly? This is not adequate. Am definitely in a 5g coverage area. Please advise!

  • SimonWa91937898 Fireball444 (@SimonWa91937898) reported

    Hi @Telstra please fix the payment gateway in your app. It is not working again.

  • NewtonMark Mark Newton (@NewtonMark) reported

    @incorrect @NBN_Australia FTTN overbuild? I don’t much care; As Telstra says, there’s no reason why they can’t keep prices down by eroding their capital instead of aiming for profitability. They don’t actually need to make a profit at all, tbqh.

  • PeterJamesRoth6 Peter James Rothe (@PeterJamesRoth6) reported

    Bit the bullet. Tried 2 different providers - Telstra the cheapest and worst coverage. Optus dearest but almost 0 dropouts. Try playing poker online you bet and win but missed whether they folded or u hit the flush! Optus buying whole year at once is cheaper than Telstra

  • sydneymediagirl Sydneymediagirl (@sydneymediagirl) reported

    @Telstra Why is it so incredibly hard, impossible, to get help from you @telstra?! And why are your consultants so useless?

  • Nosthesquidboi 💧NosthesquidGuy 🏳️‍🌈 🦘 🎃 (@Nosthesquidboi) reported

    @TelstraEnt Telstra claimed their coverage when beyond the grave. When they claimed my mother was using her long disconected landline for months after she had passed on. They never did give the money back, just claimed the cheque was in the mail.

  • DarkViperAU DarkViperAU (@DarkViperAU) reported

    @WhippyNotPoopy @Aussie_BB @Telstra I have them for my NBN and they have been largely good. Vodafone, Telstra and Optus claim to cover here. Vodafone and Telstra give 1 bar. Aussie BB uses Optus' network so it seemed worth trying. I am just staggered how bad Telstra is with sim card activation.

  • About_32_Ninjas Galahad (@About_32_Ninjas) reported

    @DarkViperAU @Telstra At this point it’d probably be more viable for you to start your own broadband network

  • HelenLK4 Helen LK (@HelenLK4) reported

    @Telstra my husband just spent 2.30 hours on a chat with Telstra. Absolutely no help at all, just trying to rip us off. So over Telstra.

  • gtvone Simon ******* (@gtvone) reported

    @Telstra Nah, it's an email scam that gmail didn't flag, and you (? do you) have no place to flag the related number. I'm sure it's a nothing number but better it doesn't work than some oldie losing $440+ to some scamming barstools.

  • LalSiri Lals (@LalSiri) reported

    @NBN_Australia Have been on the phone to few different Telstra operators since this morning. Apparently @NBN_Australia is cancelling our appointment with them stating our internet is working. It’s NOT working.

  • WhippyNotPoopy Whippy 🇦🇺 (@WhippyNotPoopy) reported

    @DarkViperAU @Aussie_BB @Telstra I just moved house and Optus says I have 4G here but I legit have SOS as my only option. I find Optus to have an inaccurate cell map if you're relying on that but if everyone else has **** reception then nothing to lose trying them

  • HeathenRiffster The Riffster (@HeathenRiffster) reported

    @Telstra I've got no mobile coverage in Bulli NSW since 2:50PM. Is there a known problem?

  • tezzyxoxo Terry (@tezzyxoxo) reported

    Oh geez the wifi and mobile service is horrible in point cook @Telstra 😭😭

  • dittoronaldo Ditto 🐝 (@dittoronaldo) reported

    @DarkViperAU @Telstra Try do some reset network settings on your phone and see if that helps..

  • WhippyNotPoopy Whippy 🇦🇺 (@WhippyNotPoopy) reported

    @DarkViperAU @Aussie_BB @Telstra Aussie BB has been reliable as a business and residential network provider but im unsure of their cell network, no one else covers your area?

  • 73J2500 Less ***** More Tonk (@73J2500) reported

    @DarkViperAU @Telstra Theyre somehow Australia's largest by market share, and the service is that bad? I won't complain about American service ever again haha.
