Telstra Outage in Trafalgar, Baw Baw, State of Victoria

@CaseyBriggs @mscott Wish i could watch the news and feel informed but @Telstra have had another drop out and so far 20 minutes on hold, it might be Monday before help. Why dont i work from home in COVID 19, 3 months of unexplained and unfixed dropouts

@Telstra return to giving people help when they call 132000 or discount our bills for the absence of customer support

We waited all day for @Telstra to call (like they said they would.....). But there was no phone call. C’mon guys - please get your act together and provide me with the service that I’m paying for. Kthanx.

@Telstra_news @TelstraEnt @Telstra are usually pretty quick to contact you when you don’t pay for their service...but they’re pretty bloody slow when their service sucks and you make multiple requests for assistance. Cmon, it’s 2019 and a week w/out internet shouldn’t happen

@dilemski @Telstra @Optus Actually make that 5 days. It’s been five loooooong days waiting for resolution.

@dilemski @Telstra Yeah I know. After 4 days it’s still not lit. I’m using my mobile as a hotspot. Thankfully @telstra are “working on it” *insert rage-filled sarcasm here*. I should have switched to @Optus instead of trusting Telstra to provide a decent service. I’m sure they’ll charge me for it

@Optus Thanks Jono. I freakin LOVE your network and have never once had an issue Optus and should not have signed a new bloody contract with Telstra...lesson learned.... 😓

It’s taken 53minutes for a Telstra live chat representative to tell me that the fault is with my modem.... God I hope that’s the worst of it.

@crayolawtf @Telstra my internet is quite slow recently, any suggestions on how to fix it?

@crayolawtf Hey, @Telstra I have a problem can you help me?

@crayolawtf @Telstra I have a problem.

@crayolawtf @Telstra Yo! I need some help

@Telstra Spend some money on your infrastructure in Port Hedland. We can all make phone calls, but no one can use their data because the network is so clogged up with traffic! Disgraceful. Dial up speeds.

@peely76 @Telstra The whole telco industry funds Telstra’s payphones under a govt levy and their continued provision is mandated by the govt’s Universal Service Obligation. So no, Telstra could not have ripped them up nor did they “choose” society and the customer

What Telstra's free to use payphones shows is that public phones are an essential service. They always have been, from the moment they were introduced, to now, and into the future. We must never again pay for this essential service.

@gleep23 @Telstra I think not quite, but yeah, it's like public transport, the cost of ticketing mainly covers the cost of having a ticketing system. This is why these should be state assets, not listed companies with profit motives. Essential/monopoly service + profit motive = inefficient.

@Telstra How about instead of the constant chopping and changing of plans you simplify and make sure you are competitive with what MVNOs like Aldi offer on your own network!

@Telstra Despite her protests I refuse to let my 9 year old have a mobile phone. This will make me feel a little easier for all the young kids who aren't allowed phones, should they ever need help. It's the modern day 'Safety House' 🏡
