PinarooRay (@d2832cd804534b9) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@mazt_t @turnbull1949 They use pretty sophisticated computerised robo calls I'm told. The computer dials numbers at random and so on. You can't block it because it has never called before and bypasses the do not call register. Try calling Telstra, they cannot advise any real method to stop it.

Joe Ortenzi 🇨🇦 🇮🇹 🇦🇺 (@wheelyweb) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@fictillius @Telstra If acma required me to identify myself, why am I receiving several calls a week from spam callers? Isn’t an Australian bank account evidence enough? All @Telstra arguments fail logic.

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

Ken Moore (@midii) reported from Sydney, New South WalesGood job @Telstra At milsons point and no signal. Great network you guys have these days.

Joe Ortenzi 🇨🇦 🇮🇹 🇦🇺 (@wheelyweb) reported from Sydney, New South WalesMy main question, @telstra, is, when the F are you going to at least pretend to have a customer service?
-
Joe Ortenzi 🇨🇦 🇮🇹 🇦🇺 (@wheelyweb) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@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?
-
Mark Tossell (@MarkTossell) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@Telstra service is hopeless. FOUR MONTHS and I STILL don’t have my work phone moved across to me after being told it was done. UNBELIEVABLE. I should move back to @VodafoneAU - their signal wasn’t great, but they looked after me.
-
Paul Kneipp (@paulkneipp) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@slsandpet With Optus for 10 years. When I moved, I asked them to connect me at the new place. No, they said, we have no service there. Telstra came, the tech pointed and said “that’s an Optus box there”. I was assured that emails would continue for 3 months. Account deleted in 24 hours.

Joe Ortenzi 🇨🇦 🇮🇹 🇦🇺 (@wheelyweb) reported from Sydney, New South WalesI was going to post a picture here of the CHEQUE @Telstra sent me for an overpayment of $25.16 🙄 , you know, for people who’ve never seen one before, but realised to blank out all the info was too much work.
-
Ivan Cunningham (@ivanjcunningham) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@naomid_au @Telstra It really is annoying. Very difficult to get any service for us customers.
-
Diana DJ (@DianaDJ7) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@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.
-
Jacqui Smith (@mrsdenneysmith) reported from Sydney, New South WalesOne should not have to deal with @telstra and their incompetencies on a Saturday. Not for the exorbitant cost of the service.

Cal 🌻🏊🏼♀️ ♐️ 🇦🇺 (@Cal_O_Rynn) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@Maddy_Pappas_ @startrack Dispatched by Telstra yesterday. Stuffed up today. Disappointing is a silly thing to be, first world problems & all. But they can even tell me when I will get it now.

Keira (@bldfvr) reported from Sydney, New South WalesOrdered 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.

SKYLXRK (@skylxrksays) reported from Sydney, New South WalesUgh the Telstra business support line told me I need to go to a Business Centre, the guy at the centre didn’t seem to understand my problem, I’ve gotten nowhere in 3 days and I’m frustrated 🙃

kiwibans (@kiwibans) reportedtelstra having a massive service outage right during the middle of the work week... absolute chaos for everyone trying to work remote.
-
Peter Latham (@PeterLa42944463) reported@PaulBongiorno Pathetic!! It is patently clear that Telstra deliberately created the problem, specifically targeted Bongiorno, is taking extra time to resolve it, and will not advise Paul what to do to restore the service. Pathetic
-
Wot da ! (@jenkspl64) reportedIf the updates are external from a supplier, are the updates checked by Telstra before being installed and spread across the system/network?
-
jagjetfly 🐎🐎 (@jagjetfly) reported@MitchEllis67 Is that due to the Telstra outage?
-
Secretary Dead Parrot Society (@MyFirstCousin) reportedBananaby accuses China of causing the Telstra outage. I believe Pauline Hanson did it.

Old Soldier (@OMGTheMess) reportedTelcos in Australia We need to sit all down and redraw how we do 000. All terrestrial networks should be used, including wifi, and Starlink who already have limited agreements with Telstra for rural comms.

Lucas | 🇦🇺 (@TheBlackWallaby) reported@JacintaAllanMP The Victorian Government should establish an immediate compensation scheme for V/Line passengers materially affected by the Telstra outage and resulting rail disruption. The scheme should be simple, fast, and based on statutory declaration rather than an adversarial claims process. Passengers should not be required to prove every element of distress with receipts, particularly where people were stranded overnight, unable to access accommodation, unable to get home, or forced to sleep in unsafe or uncomfortable conditions. Under the scheme, affected customers would submit a statutory declaration setting out: their intended V/Line journey; where they were stranded; how long they were delayed; whether they were unable to return home that night; whether they incurred accommodation, food, taxi, rideshare, parking, medical, childcare, missed work, or other reasonable costs; whether they had no safe place to sleep; and any other hardship caused by the disruption. The Government would then assess and pay claims directly to customers, with Telstra subsequently invoiced for the cost of the scheme. Suggested payment structure: All materially affected V/Line passengers should receive an automatic base disruption payment. Passengers stranded for several hours but able to get home the same day should receive a lower fixed amount. Passengers stranded overnight should receive a higher fixed hardship payment. Passengers who had to sleep in a station, on a bench, outdoors, in a vehicle, or in another unsuitable place should receive an additional hardship payment. Reasonable out-of-pocket expenses should be reimbursed on top of the fixed hardship amounts, including hotel costs, meals, taxis, rideshare, parking, childcare, and other necessary costs caused by the disruption. A practical model would be: $100 base payment for any materially affected passenger; $250 additional payment for passengers delayed more than four hours or unable to complete their journey in a reasonable time; $500 additional payment for passengers stranded overnight; $750 additional payment for passengers who had no safe accommodation and had to sleep in a station, public place, car, or other unsuitable location; full reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. This means a passenger who was stranded overnight and slept on a bench in the cold could receive $1,350 plus expenses. That is not excessive. It reflects the seriousness of the failure, the exposure to cold, the lack of food or safe shelter, and the distress of being left without a practical way to get home. The statutory declaration model avoids making vulnerable passengers fight through bureaucracy. False claims would remain punishable under law, but genuine passengers would not be forced to navigate a hostile compensation process. The Government should pay first, recover later. Customers were failed by critical infrastructure. They should not have to wait while Telstra, V/Line, the Government, and regulators argue over liability.

zharris made in Aus (@goforgold80s) reportedHopefully most of the 000 calls Telstra failed to connect were just Sarah Henderson "testing" the network.

David (@David52578899) reported@wally_waldo83 @AaronDodd @Telstra Bullshit. The Telstra outage is on Telstra, the govt has no say. Telstra is a listed company.

Westgate 🇦🇺🇬🇧 (@Westgat06583980) reported@9NewsMelb Another Vic Gov stuff up. Imagine the big bucks the Risk Management team are on and they had no back up plan for Telstra network failure.
