Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • JMPaters JeannieMariePaterson (@JMPaters) reported

    @Telstra I am afraid I have had eight months of problems, had our home phone cut off and we are going to a different provider.

  • billycurry Billy Curry (@billycurry) reported

    @Telstra We are the lucky ones (with Amaysim (Optus) who have access to a working network. Took five hours to DL a 40MB VLC Player app yesterday.

  • charmie13 LittleBlueWren (@charmie13) reported

    @Cammos78 Ours was good out here until @Telstra "upgrade" then it went to **** & it's ongoing. No signal for a simple phone call which isn't ideal in country Australia. They tell us they've identified the problem & it was to be fixed in a few days.......reckon hell may freeze over first.

  • billycurry Billy Curry (@billycurry) reported

    @Telstra Do you have an approximate, estimate estimated time of completion? Everyone up here has now jumped on the Optus network which is working but now overloaded.

  • Bill41783739 Bill Francis (@Bill41783739) reported

    @JustJenKing @woolworths @Telstra What's wrong with Woolworths? Get some I'd, give then some groceries on credit. Even get OK to pay later. Anyway, where's Morrison? Joyce? Frydenberg? Oh. Doing photoshoots about how Shane Warne encouraged them when they were feeling down.

  • DavidCaoEV David Cao (@DavidCaoEV) reported

    Just spent 1.5hrs on 2 calls to Telstra. They said it’s NBNCo’s responsibility as it’s the infrastructure. I’ve lodged a damage report and will follow up tomorrow.

  • janehansen2000 jane hansen (@janehansen2000) reported

    So @Telstra SEQld flooded, northern NSW did too but no internet or phone in Northern NSW for 5 days..why so long? No explanation and driving to QLD to use my phone and internet is terrible! ETA pls

  • yeld_tamsin Tamsin Yeld 🏳️‍🌈🎶♿ (@yeld_tamsin) reported

    @Telstra Nimbin, Blue ****, Lilian Rock, Cawongla and more - no internet or home phone - and we're not flood-affected! 3G amazingly works. Dont you have an emergency mobile station you can deploy? Rather than brushing ppl off with vague replies, a transparent answer wd be welcomed!

  • AstraKate VaxholeKate 😷 💉💉💉 (@AstraKate) reported

    On Sunday 8th February 2009, I was called to help at the local bushfire relief Centre. Within a couple of hours, Centrelink staff were on the scene handing out cash to bushfire affected people. Telstra and Optus were there on the spot handing out mobile phones...

  • BirdieCaringtn BirdieCarrington (@BirdieCaringtn) reported

    @GuardianAus Why am I hearing that Telstra services are still down in northern rivers but Optus is working?

  • jenny_sinclair Jenny Sinclair (@jenny_sinclair) reported

    @JustJenKing @woolworths @Telstra seriously, they haven't tweeted for six days. has anyone checked on them? I could do a better job monitoring that account while still holding down my other two jobs.

  • janehansen2000 jane hansen (@janehansen2000) reported

    @davey0511 @Telstra Also, they have mobile units they roll on when their bandwidth can’t cope. They advertise this at holiday time in Northern NSW.. not that it addresses the problem ever. They also charge a huge premium to regional users because everyone knows Optus and vodaphone don’t cover

  • BirdieCaringtn BirdieCarrington (@BirdieCaringtn) reported

    @JustJenKing @woolworths @Telstra So Telstra’s down and Optus isn’t?

  • Ashrides Ashley Russell, Marquis d’ Russell (@Ashrides) reported

    @JustJenKing @woolworths @Telstra Yes think of those poor Woolworths share holders ...please somebody help them !

  • tyronedavies109 T to the D (@tyronedavies109) reported

    @Telstra help me

  • billycurry Billy Curry (@billycurry) reported

    @Telstra Apparently the network is up.

  • TheBartonManor TheBartonManor (@TheBartonManor) reported

    @Telstra I know that you're currently inundated with fixes, but, there is a mobile tower not responding somewhere in 4101,yet outages page says none. it's impossible to lodge support request. can this at least be reported so we can stop 1st lv support rituals w' our phone & sim?

  • n_mobili NMobili (@n_mobili) reported

    @JustJenKing @woolworths @Telstra Why not just use waivers? The government could easily help fill the gap in the emergency. They seemed to have endless funds for Covid.

  • spiri_mili i dont know anymore 🤷‍♀️🤯😤 (@spiri_mili) reported

    @JustJenKing @woolworths @Telstra Cannot believe how bad it’s going. They wanted a cashless society. So how do these people get cash to pay for basic needs in a disaster. What the actual Fark!!!!

  • TimBuckTwoHodl 🇦🇺TimBuckTwo HODL (@TimBuckTwoHodl) reported

    @JustJenKing @woolworths @Telstra I know it dont help now. But this is why everyone should have an emergency food supply. 3 months is good. It will help you or those you know that have lost everything. Start running a large pantry today. A weeks food. Then double it. And again. And again. Once more. 4months food

  • twfx Richard Till (@twfx) reported

    @Telstra Yes we need a solution - we have intermittent internet normally it doesn’t work after 9am

  • Red_07 NowJürgennaBelieveUs (@Red_07) reported

    @TwitterAU That's if you have internet/mobile coverage. Last night we had heavy rain on the NSW south coast with a blackout. Telstra internet out, Vodafone mobile out. Telstra mobile just about worked.

  • EaglesPete Grant Paterson (@EaglesPete) reported

    @Telstra Thanks for checking i contacted support they apparently reset something but it still says i dont have a valid plan.

  • Grandmakrs Kristina Pace (@Grandmakrs) reported

    @JustJenKing @woolworths @Telstra All the ATMs are down

  • stufuller27 Stu Fuller (@stufuller27) reported

    @JustJenKing @woolworths @Telstra Or WW could just take down their name and address and accept payment at a later date?

  • terrymarc Terry OFee (@terrymarc) reported

    @JustJenKing @woolworths @Telstra What’s this got to do with Telstra ? It looks like a bank problem

  • Grandmakrs Kristina Pace (@Grandmakrs) reported

    @JustJenKing @woolworths @Telstra Can’t Woolworths run a credit system as an interim solution

  • GS02787498 GS (@GS02787498) reported

    @aurelius167 @ronInBendigo Yeah and watch your company go down the toilet, even Telstra are bringing their call centres back home and they will still be wfh. Trying to revive a dying office culture is a fruitless exercice, lets not kid ourselves you dont need your staff back more than 1-2 times a week.

  • KeatoPaul Paul Keato (@KeatoPaul) reported

    @JustJenKing @woolworths @Telstra Who says it's a Telstra Issue? It's more than likely an NBN issue as Telstra isn't the cable owner.

  • KeenanTy01 Ty (@KeenanTy01) reported

    Currently getting paid to contact Telstra. I would rather die why is their customer service HORRIBLE
