Telstra Outage in Adelaide, State of South Australia

Gotta love Telstra Wholesale techs. Reported to Telstra when we moved in that there's severe damage to the POTS relay near our house. They send someone to prop it up with a stake and some ziplock ties. It falls over again later, same dealio.

I’m stuck thinking about my mobile carrier, so I stay with an Optus MVNO or go to a Telstra ‘full service’ MVNO. It’s complicated. There’s $10 a month in it between the two companies.

Hello, this is Kevin from Telstra, I hope you’re having a wery wery good day. I see you’re having internet issues. Yes Kevin, I am (proceeds to tell Kevin life story) Beep beep beep… Seems Kevin didn’t want to know my issues

On Saturday night I have caught a glimpse AFL game.The Ukrainian colors on the score line were a reminder of what virtue signaling POS the AFL is. Almost as bad as Telstra putting stay safe stay home 💩on the mobile devices !

@gomichild Problem is Auspost is like Telstra these days. Difficult to tell which ones are employees or contractor couriers! They can sack a female CEO 1 year over a watch & next year pay male execs $1000's in bonuses. I mean WTAF???

@EsotericSpod I’ve been happy with their service and coverage, pretty much identical to full Telstra but you don’t (yet) get VoLTE, instead voice drops back to 3G.

@Telstra @noMercy_19 @Telstra same thing happened to me and the missus trying to buy iPhone 13 outright at Marion shopping centre in adelaide. We waited for ages then got a rude lady and told no stock so we went to Jb-hifi and the girl there was lovely so bought and left happy.

@TraceySpicer @Telstra @NBN_Australia That’s terrible

@delmaclifton OMG Delma, Telstra are so frustrating, even when you go in store the treatment can be quite poor. My big pond drops out all the time, getting over them!!!

@Narty0071 @FedEx Breathe my friend, I feel your pain. Have noticed though with many services today, shhh......TELSTRA, people are given the run around, thinking you’ve got nothing better to do!!! Hang in there, things will sort themselves out🌷

@Telstra I do thank you. There seems to be a lag of hours between DM responses but no commitment yet to look at the problem

Hey @woolworths and @Telstra 1/ Can you tell me why when I purchase a Woolworths Mobile Sim card which uses the Telstra network I have to pay to have my phone unlocked by Telstra to use their network? And why does it takes 8-10 days to perform a task that's 2 clicks of a mouse?

Hey @telstra I am truly amazed at how bad your online support is. Seriously so far trying to establish data sharing across devices has taken 6 hours and I still haven’t progressed past getting the new sim.

@ScottElderfiel1 The bills is one issue my mother has the last two electricity bills have been in the red so was her Telstra bill

@Telstra Haha. No, after 3 months of no internet, several days lost on hold trying to sort, Telstra refusing to help me, I gave up and went to internode.

@MatthewBevan Since now moving to Australia and dealing with horrendous @Telstra customer service, wasting hours and hours on hold to them and paying for internet they didn’t deliver, I feel I’ve paid them back.

@JoelDTD They **** you if you need a phone but now you’ve got Belong who cover a fair bit of regional Australia (they use the Telstra towers). Roll over data and cheap plans ($15, $25, $40)

@TKoutsantonisMP sadly I think the @VincentTarzia interview on ABC has just had an equal for being bad!!. The @Telstra guy was amazingly poor.

@Telstra still no outcome, boy that’s great customer service

@Telstra your consultants are a different breed - use this link to get help - department closed before link sent #nohelp #telstraliars #nocustomerservice

@Telstra seriously upset Telstra - house full of Covid - 2 days late paying Telstra bill (due on Thursday and I paid on Saturday) AND you charge me $15.00 late payt fee….never been late before. What a way to treat long loyal customer - well no more…. #telstra

@MichaelPascoe01 Thousands of jobs lost. Major deterioration in service standards. It has all the hallmarks of policy failure. It’s been disastrous for Telstra. Probably much the same for Qantas. Even corporatisation is a convenient way of moving a service off the Govt books. TI

God @telstra is ****. Changed mobile plan to Telstra because I'm going to FNQ and wanted reception, and of course the 5g hotspot is absolute garbage. Can't even get reception in inner Melbourne to run internet on my laptop. How does this company survive?

Spent 2+ hours on @Telstra Messaging about an issue. I was very dissatisfied with the service so in the end I asked what the complaint process was. I was told I couldn’t complain, that my situation did not warrant a complaint, and I quote “there is no complaint process for you”.

@katiekoalasays @Telstra Use the ALDImobile- runs through Telstra and no problems.

@katiekoalasays @Telstra Is there a reason you need Telstra? I use TPG for all our phones, sim only it's $25 (half for first 6 months) and you get all your calls and texts plus 25gb data. Their most expensive is $40 pm and that has 60gb data. It's also month to month, cancel any time you like.

@katiekoalasays @Telstra i was with telstra on a $30 plan they wanted to make it $45 i switched to aldi now $15 and they use the telstra network plus i get my data rolls over

@Telstra No confirmed outages (postcode 2337) and it's not said anything for the last few days either. I am not the only person I know who's has problems in this area either

@Telstra has without question, the worst customer service of any Australian company ever. Have owed me north of 2K for over a year now and you reckon I can get it? Nope. Time to refer to the ombudsman.

@Telstra it is 8pm on a Wednesday and I cannot load my bank's login page, can't get into a database site for work, can barely load Twitter - off either wifi or mobile data. WHAT is the problem?? The speed never used to be THIS bad, even at peak hour
