    Getting help from the @Telstra chat service is like pulling teeth. None of them seem to know anything, you get transferred around and the next person never reads what the last person went through.

    @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.

    @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.

    @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.

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

    @Telstra Service became available again late yesterday afternoon.

    @geplusda Telstra doesn't work at the moment. I need to do something. I have been advised Aussie Broadband by a few people

  • BJssoR
    Ben Ross (@BJssoR) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    Customer feedback led Telstra to bring their call centres home , in another five years they may realise their services are severely overpriced..

    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???!!!

    Why are all landlines down in Sydney @Telstra @Telstra_news

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

    @Telstra I’m pretty sure you can’t force me to pay by direct debit. Considering your ineffective customer services, including your inability to effectively train your phone reps adequately, it’s reasonable I want to have some control on payment. Just like I do with gas, power, water etc.

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

    Almost 20 days @TPG_Telecom could not deliver a modem..confusion,promises, no update, silence and frustration. Absolutely customer unfriendly organisation with fake processes being in place.. shall I go to @Optus or @Telstra now..who can help me?

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

    The technician came and my internet is still broken. There is an open fault ticket for the @nbn network team to fix the network tap in the pit at the front of the house. According to @Telstra, there is no ETA on the fix.

    @Telstra You already have all my info you need. I have been a. Customer for nearly a decade. Why are you treating me as a stranger.?

    @Telstra I’m not going through 9 weeks of “have you updated your phone and rebooted your router” nonsense again, a process designed to never solve any issues

  • daveray99
    Dave Ray (@daveray99) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    Am I the only person thinking @Telstra's "5G" mobile network is utter trash? For the last week it's been abysmal. And yes: I've cleared the cache and restarted my device.

  • bldfvr
    Keira (@bldfvr) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    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.

  • MrLloydicus

    @Telstra have you been playing with the mobile coverage on the T4 between Cronulla and Central - it’s progressing to get worst and especially in the tunnels from Redfern you can even get out. :( please fix it!

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

    @Telstra You have had me as a customer for 7 years. What has changed. Because remember this is all because you decided you want me to have a new relationship with @telstra. I have M existing plan right now

    And I am on Telstra but they're price gouging and they Suck and I did attempt after their last price hike to leave but it's like. Oh if you are in a regional area literally noone else can help you. I see. Think there's a word for that that rhymes with schmonopoly

    @Jason______A @the_don1722 The difference will be the level of support you get etc. have similar setups here where telstra (t mobile in Aus) own budget mobile companies. And you get pretty much the same package for much cheaper but lose access to their support etc.

  • PissedOfAussie
    Angry G (@PissedOfAussie) reported

    @Telstra twice this week you have sent me an email re network updates and service interruptions, both times 40 minutes after the scheduled start time, both times interruptions already under way. How does this help someone working from home on those days? I'll tell you, it doesnt.

    Hey @Telstra when are we releasing #rcs support for #android and @Apple phones? Why is Australia missing out on this feature?

    @stationmum101 I just went to telstra. I have hearing loss, not one of the staff spoke clear English. They all had heavy Indian accents. It was very very difficult. The same for the staff at my dads nursing home. When they ring I ask them to email me. They are all friendly and try to help

    @diss_presso @robb_j_m The problem was that Telstra weren't going to upgrade as they were using the money to install mobile towers and letting the fixed line to rot. Before being sold off they were looking at upgrade paths, but that all got stopped. Telstra were only interested in killing competition
