    When dealing with @Telstra, at either the commercial or consumer level, it's wise to remember their customer service ethos: You get what you get and you don't get upset.

    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.

    One should not have to deal with @telstra and their incompetencies on a Saturday. Not for the exorbitant cost of the service.

  • 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.

    @Telstra @andy_penn So, the best option is to be persistent. Finally found someone willing to help. Ten minutes later the problem was sorted. But that didn’t get me back the hours I’ve spent talking to Indian call centres.

    Haisam Morhi (@HaisamMorhi11) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    You are an absolute joke @Optus Went into a store about an issue and they couldn't fix the problem and twice today I contacted the customer care centre, both times got put on hold and you hung up on me. I'l be contacting the ombudsman and moving my services to @Telstra

  • yeoldeguildford
    Daniel Eastwood (@yeoldeguildford) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    @Telstra Yes NBN stuffed it up. They put our cable in the wrong port, or the other way around. Either way, it's fixed now, and your company didn't fix it. I still have an outstanding fault when I called the automated message 10 minutes ago. I need my account closed. Mobile to remain ...

  • open5book
    Chloe Mason (@open5book) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    @Bobi_magee2 Lucky you, talking. Took me hours and hours on "chat", by text, with Telstra, as I enter Day 13 of resolving hardware issue.

    If you ever have a bad day just remember I read Telstra as Toyota today and wondered why I was being called about a fault with a car.

    @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.

  • onebg
    Glenn Sargood (@onebg) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    It's wonderful that @Telstra keeps acknowledging that there is a problem with my NBN service and fix it. I have reminisced what the old dial up services were like for long enough I am ready for the 21st century again.

  • 3bsBruce
    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.

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

    @thegrumpypoof Which is why I have not been a Telstra customer in a very long time. Hope it gets sorted out

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

    @estelle_landy @Telstra I gave up years ago with them. They're so rude. 🥺

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

    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.

  • skylxrksays

    Ugh 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 🙃

    @Telstra It could be my device needs a restart but it could also be that the service you guys at Telstra actually provide doesn’t match what the sales reps and advertising promise

  • rochfordalexAR
    RochfordAlexAR (@rochfordalexAR) reported

    @bazingashane0 @Telstra Can't register as a business account cause don't have an ABN. case manager is trying to address my complaint by setting up an onsite technician. . . . To address what is essentially a contract dispute. Onsite tech won't be able to do jack for me on Monday, unless he can

  • MyNameIsMurray
    Murray (@MyNameIsMurray) reported

    @DavidLeyonhjelm @georgios197 @DanielPriestley Luck... and both the timely full privatisation of Telstra, and the complete offloading of Australian gold reserves (nearly tanking our, and world markets in the process). Howard only balanced the books by selling off a LOT of stuff that ended up creating problems later on.

    𝑫𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒆𝒍 𝑺𝒄𝒐𝒕𝒕 𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒘𝒔 🇦🇺 (@DanielSMatthews) reported

    @eevblog I have both, NBN service stability is far less than Starlink's, so it is my backup. I could probably push traffic through both, did that with Telstra and Optus cable modems back in the day, but Starlink is so fast I haven't needed to bother.

  • joshatticus
    JoshAtticus (@joshatticus) reported

    @itsiclassic Like I would've just gone and called support from one of the free Telstra payphones if I'd known it was gonna take that long and the store couldn't do anything

  • SNOOPREY77

    @Telstra Mobile service , reception lately has been slow on both personal and work phone

  • LizzyZeel
    Lizzy (@LizzyZeel) reported

    @AlanBixter Ahh yes, the joys of having every Telstra support person go through the same failed script (re-start modem, check cables, blah, blah...) & then sending a new modem - which still doesn't fix the problem 😡. I have quite the collection now.

    @goldengreekjr @AshPolitik As PM, John Howard spearheaded a major privatization program, selling $71.8 billion in government assets between 1996 & 2007 to pay down national debt. Significant holdings sold included a majority stake in Telstra, shares in airports, shipping lines, and defence-related industry
