    @Telstra Service became available again late yesterday afternoon.

    @Telstra Does that mean we don’t have an ongoing agreement for @telstra to supply a mobile service for a recurring fee each month? Does that mean every month the terms change? What governs the nature of our agreement for you to supply a service for a monthly fee? Is that not a contract?

  • wheelyweb
    Joe Ortenzi 🇨🇦 🇮🇹 🇦🇺 (@wheelyweb) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    I asked for a copy of the terms and conditions I’m being asked to agree to and am sent a web page. What king of terms can anyone legally offer when they aren’t given as a copy to the customer on agreement? Is this #legal, @Telstra

  • wheelyweb
    Joe Ortenzi 🇨🇦 🇮🇹 🇦🇺 (@wheelyweb) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    @Telstra You start by gaping about inclusions and costs. Perfect. Completely agree. Why were you operating perfectly before without requiring one to pay beforehand without documentation. As already mentioned, open to accepting your pay-before service model. Just not automatically

    @Benson20201 Senis no longer owned by Telstra not a Telstra issue

    @GhostofBen22 @wheelyweb @Telstra Had to move to Vodafone because Telstra had so many issues in the places I needed to use my phone.

    @telstra hey i am trying to pay a bill but your online service not working. Also I tried to set up direct debit.

    Check out my Speedtest results! 27.3 Mbps down and 0.2 Mbps up. How do your speeds compare? #Telstra #Nbn I think North Korea is better than this. Any suggestions?

  • mnsbutt
    Nafees Butt (@mnsbutt) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    @MichelePlayfair Seriously!!!! And people on the call keep suggesting that "everyone chip in so that Nafees can get a better Internet" as if I chose the cheapest Internet bundle to inflict this pain upon myself. While I am at it, @Telstra, please fix my reception problem.

  • JohnLutge

    The @NBN tech came. The carrier signal strength is - 15dB. Max is - 10dB. So it's too weak to work. But it's raining, and their test equipment isn't waterproof. So they couldn't check the connection box at the side of the house. So, day off work for zip. @Telstra

    @wheelyweb @Telstra They still need to have ID the person using the service.

    Richard (@3bsBruce) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    Ok, I’ll buy the prepaid card to cover me for two weeks and port my number across to that. Oh sorry, we don’t sell the prepaid cards for our service in our @telstra shop. You have to go to a supermarket.

    Ordered a major xmas gift on **11 Oct** with @Telstra. Still dont have it. Have been lied to re delivery date every week for a month now. Help operators are useless. No answer to basic qs. Thought I’d use some reward pts since they were just sitting there. Never again.

    And when I told the support person that the reference number has been obfuscated I got a reply with a reference number…….., obfuscated as well. What fresh hell is this, @Telstra ?

    After seventeen weeks of dealing with Telstra ( contact Maxine) to correctly install my iphone. Today they accidentally ****** up my phone connection. I now have no signal and Telstra ( Maxine) can not help

    @bobbylosbravos @bcurrall80 I get 50GB for $45/month on Telstra thru a pre-paid plan I bought from JB Hi-Fi. They were the only Telstra reseller I could find and I refuse to go to Optus or Vodafone due to terrible experiences in the past.

  • JohnLutge
    John Lutge (@JohnLutge) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    @Telstra So I should buy another service to replace a broken service I am already paying for? That sounds like a solid business model if you can pull it off.

    How good is @Telstra ! Couldn’t contact my Mum on Mother’s Day As they have disconnected her landline for the umpteenth time. She’s on the old copper network. She doesn’t use the internet or smartphones yet customer rep stated they need to speak to her. D’oh she can’t! #auspol

    My main question, @telstra, is, when the F are you going to at least pretend to have a customer service?

    All they need do is crash Telstra and the whole country will come tumbling down, maybe yesterday was a practice run

    DEAR PRIME MINISTER @ALBOMP PLEASE CONSIDER SETTING UP A BACK UP EMERGENCY EMERGENCY NUMBER MY SUGGESTION IS 001 BUT OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS THE THING IS THAT NUMBER 001 CAN BE LEGAL FOR US TO TEST CALL PLUS BE A BACK UP WHEN 000 GOES DOWN AMAZING! #AUSPOL #TELSTRA

  • PaulBongiorno
    Paul Bongiorno (@PaulBongiorno) reported

    The Telstra outage is not over...this is a lie. My Telstra mobile and my wife's cannot make or receive voice calls. This is pathetic more than 24 hours after the giant telco fessed up to its gross failure to maintain service.

  • jenkspl64
    Wot da ! (@jenkspl64) reported

    2nd: Does Telstra check critical updates (by their own staff) before they are uploaded to the entire network. Especially if the external supplier uses software coders in the global south paid a pittance, and likely to be influenced by others or to do just shoddy work.

  • VoteLewko
    Daniel (@VoteLewko) reported

    @wilmsfront @user26194736 That is increasingly difficult and there are any number of organisations that have no possibility whatsoever of reverting to pencil and paper in an emergency. But this strikes me as a more basic error. That said, someone may have signed off on this as an acceptable risk. I can't say whether or not that was the right call but if it was, then expecting Telstra to own it is a bit unfair.

    @JacintaAllanMP wtf does Telstra have to do with VLine services being affected?

  • BardyBiggles

    @pasta_carbonaro @theheraldsun @vline outsourced their radio network to ARTC and Telstra and shutdown their own network.

    @PaulBongiorno Sacking so many people over the last few years and losing all that experience will result in these issues ! Well done telstra - pay millions in fines rather than keeping aussies employed !
