Telstra Issues Reports Near Sydney, New South Wales
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Sydney and nearby locations:
-
Max Phillips (@_MaxPhillips) reported from Sydney, New South WalesSo @Telstra, you took $340 of my wife’s money, but cut off her phone claiming she does not have an account for the new phone you sent her. You disconnected her while our daughter has Covid & we are in lockdown. Now she’s stuck in an infinite loop of complaint handling. Hopeless!
-
Annie Martin AM (@MartinAnne139) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@Telstra Happy to say that I rang the First Nations Hotline @Telstra and the customer service was exceptional. After several weeks of trying to get this sorted I found someone that took time to listen and sort the issue out. Thank you Sanisha you deserve a medal 🥇
-
Jane Threlfall (@monsonflossy) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@christianharrup And maybe Telstra should employ landscape architects if not already? I am guessing, that for the engineer, they’d see the phone hooked up quickly and working for the public as a high level of service to the council.
-
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.
-
Anthony Horton @spacelizard@aus.social (@vacant3rdman) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@Optus I bought a 4G modem for use at a location that has coverage from your 4G network, only to find that it's artificially limited to 3G speeds. This is totally unacceptable. I want a refund so I can spend the money on a Telstra modem instead.

Countess FrightBat ~ “The Evil One” ~ Нечистый (@CorruptNSW) reported from Sydney, New South WalesHow 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

Joe Ortenzi 🇨🇦 🇮🇹 🇦🇺 (@wheelyweb) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@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.
-
Joe Ortenzi 🇨🇦 🇮🇹 🇦🇺 (@wheelyweb) reported from Sydney, New South WalesI 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
-
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.
-
Alexander Swift (@alexanderswift) reported from Sydney, New South WalesHello @telstra any update on Complaint Reference: 47824104 Returning to the office is a flop when over 1000 people don’t have a mobile phone that works.
-
Patricia (@callejap) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@thegrumpypoof Which is why I have not been a Telstra customer in a very long time. Hope it gets sorted out
-
Ken Moore (@midii) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@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.
-
John Lutge (@JohnLutge) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@Telstra The @Telstra faults person hung up on me when I insisted she contact @NBN to find out what was going on. Is the fault at my premisis, or in the area as I was previously told? As far as DMs go. I've wasted hours down that rabbit hole before, for absolutely no gain.
-
Joe Ortenzi 🇨🇦 🇮🇹 🇦🇺 (@wheelyweb) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@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

Glenn Sargood (@onebg) reported from Sydney, New South WalesI must say whilst I am very frustrated with my NBN problems with @Telstra I am very happy with the Twitter support. I am hoping the local upgrades fix the issue very soon #veryslow #frustrating

Daniel Eastwood (@yeoldeguildford) reported from Sydney, New South WalesGuys I need a new internet provider. Been with Telstra forever but WiFi has been down for a month and they haven't fixed it. Any recommendations?
-
Francisco G (@86franciscoG) reported from Sydney, New South Wales**** Telstra. Usless app. Crashing down
-
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.
-
alan jones (he/him) (@bigyahu) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@NickyWill100 @vkhosla I’d been a Telstra customer previously until they launched a startup directly competing with a startup I’d cofounded. They blew out our acquisition cost so much (because they didn’t really care) that they were killing us. So I couldn’t wait to leave them.

-
antqld (@antqldbwog) reported@EVERALDATLARGE He sold everything off Commonwealth’s property portfolio, Commonwealth Bank, Telstra, 167 tonnes of gold at 7% of what it’s worth today and failed to pay the public service superannuation leaving behind a $96 billion liability.
-
Husky (@huskyaustralia) reportedIs Telstra down again ?!?
-
Juanessa (@Juanessa22) reported@BenCarrollMP Fuel crisis Ben!!!! What are you doing to alleviate the rising costs? You’ve announced nothing in this area. Also fix the VLine & Metro issues. We’ve heard zero post the Telstra outage. ZERO FFS!!!
-
Jonathan Wilson (@jfwfreo) reported@immyonboard @Telstra If you are talking about NBN, there are many choices of ISPs that are superior to Telstra. If you need mobile, anyone on the Vodafone network is probably the best (seems to be the most reliable of the 3 networks)
-
Lucy the Red (@LucytheRed1) reported@DHughesy You clearly don’t realize the Future Fund was: 1) primarily seeded by the sale of Telstra 2) Set up to fund existing government liabilities I’ll dumb it down for you. The Howard government sold our assets to fund existing liabilities. Embarrassed for you (again)
-
James Bernard 🇦🇺✝️☕🎸 (@jamesabernard) reported@TopherField However, starlink is still ground linked through Telstra. Switch off Telstra & starlink goes down too.
-
Ross Vallance (@ross_vallance) reported@blu_boys @Optus If you bank with commonwealth they have a deal with more. It uses the Telstra network, usually 25% off with an already well priced plan.
-
Tim (@TimothyJ_23) reported@Telstra Nope just complete loss of 5G. I guess the venue is in East Perth so it's probably that. Any ETA on fix? Seems sporadic
-
stephen (@johnsy123aus) reportedTelstra CEO gets $700,000 pay rise to $6.8m despite Australia-wide outage
-
Les H 🇦🇺 🏌🏻♂️ (@leshyne) reportedTelstra notified local residents on the 18th that there will be a six day disruption to service from the 17th! Good one @Telstra No 4G or internet during the day for six days. SOS only.
