    @Telstra The message was sent and then I read it. The numbers should still be there. Are you telling a customer they’re using the customer support system wrong? But ok. I’ll do what you say and look at “my cases” and “reported faults” as you suggest. 1/2

    @fictillius @Telstra I have been a customer for nearly a decade , paid all my bills all ontime. and am not a stranger. I had an ongoing plan I was working just fine. This is all about Telstra deciding they’re “Netflix” when they re not.

    @Telstra As if I can be bothered helping you guys fix a fault for somewhere I am parked for 10 minutes. Telstra is poor coverage in general now and reporting it doesn’t help I’ve tried at home for 6 months.

  • wheelyweb
    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?

    as I wasn't physically able to leave my apartment. The only time I've had worse service is with Telstra. Tell one of your customer service team to look up my number and call me today! And why should I have to wait 48 hours for a refund for something that was your mistake???!!!

    @theage Telstra customers are very unhappy for the most part. From a customer point of you it’s the worst company I’ve come across. And I mean it. I’m not just sounding off. Can she clean up Telstra & make it a friendly, helpful and efficient organisation from the customer perspective?

    Cancelled my binge service then registered again as Telstra were doing a year deal that's $6 cheaper every month for a year so saving $72 this next year

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

    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

    @Telstra I’m trying to tell you your system is broken and you’re acting like I still have open tickets. There’s a number of other issues, but obfuscating the ref no and time frame numbers in an open chat string is a fail. Please acknowledge that.

    @Telstra Only yesterday I had extensive dealings with an overseas call centre! Five business days to fix a simple problem that should have been sorted nearly a year ago is why Telstra has such a bad reputation for customer service.

    @Telstra outage in parramatta area? Whats the current status??? #telstraoutage

    Hi @Telstra. My internet has been down for 3 weeks. The @NBN tech was a no show for the first appointment. Just had an SMS scheduling another appt for tomorrow. The @Telstra faults operater in Australia just hung up on me. If I ran my med practice that way, I would be in jail.

    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

    @Telstra Native 4G on my phone just got me 106 down and 18.7 up. I get nowhere near 25/5 with the backup feature of your modem.

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

    @lostonabikeOz @RoadknightThe My telstra phone copped it despite receiving pretty much zero anything else on the cellular network here. Odd.

  • Dabatsau
    Paddy (@Dabatsau) reported

    @7NewsMelbourne But you still have to go with an Aus provider as they own the leases on the spectrum it uses and are the only ones to provide service in buildings and high density areas. Optus & Telstra already can provide sms via starlink with calls and data in a few years. So no - the major telcos are not under threat.

    Why in a capital city do all fail with internet coverage In out back Truganina phones and internet mobile connection are a massive fail. @Telstra @Optus @amaysimAU

  • msyed_
    Mo Syed (@msyed_) reported

    What's happening in the land down under 1. AusAlert passed the test. That’s not the same as passing the public. Millions of phones lit up during the national AusAlert test. Others got nothing. Older phones missed it. Landlines missed it. Queensland has already said it’s not signing up yet. The government still called it a success. That’s the problem with big national systems. They can work at scale and still fail the people who need them most. An emergency alert isn’t a marketing email. “Most people received it” isn’t the standard. The standard is whether it reaches the person in a flood zone, bushfire path, or cyclone area, including people with old devices, poor coverage, disabilities, or no smartphone at all. 2. Origin’s breach has moved from “what was stolen?” to “what was agreed?” Origin has confirmed data from about 900,000 current and former customers was taken. Now the alleged hacker says the matter has been privately settled and the data won’t be released. That leaves one very obvious question: was a ransom paid? Companies hate talking about this because there are no good options. Paying doesn’t guarantee deletion. Not paying can mean customer data gets dumped online. And either way, the people whose details were stolen have no say in the negotiation. The breach is the first failure. The weeks of uncertainty afterwards are the second. 3. A Telstra outage stopped trains. It shouldn’t have. A telecoms outage took out trains because the switch to the Telstra mobile network was poorly managed. This is what people mean when they talk about critical infrastructure. A train network shouldn’t depend on one fragile link behaving perfectly. The backup needs to be real. Tested. Able to fail over without someone discovering in the middle of an outage that the contingency plan was mostly a PDF and good intentions. Australia is wiring more of daily life into connected systems. Reliability is no longer an IT metric. It’s whether people can get home.

    @Telstra No, I don’t have the app. My Telstra service is via JB Hifi Mobile, so I don’t know if that makes a difference? Can I access it? But this email came directly from Telstra.

    @TelstraEnt Your phone support is utterly atrocious. @Telstra Will you improve on them & provide assistance???

  • joshatticus
    Josh (@joshatticus) reported

    @Netherby1866 @NikkiGemmell The government is stupid and didn't force the carriers to push the carrier bundles to older iPhones, so the ********* at Vodafail, Floptus and Telstra only pushed it to iOS 26.4 and later! Android devices got it fine though
