Derek Bell (He/Him) (@derek_bell) reported from Sydney, New South WalesCheck out my Speedtest results! 27.3 Mbps down and 0.2 Mbps up. How do your speeds compare? #Telstra #Nbn I think North Korea is better than this. Any suggestions?

Laurie Patton is The Lucky General (@LJPatton) reported from Sydney, New South WalesAnother night stolen from me as I try to have @Telstra deal with a problem it created.

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

Alexander Charles Graham 🇦🇺 🏇🍷 (@AlexGraham1991) reported from Sydney, New South WalesVery quiet on Twitter this arvo… Telstra broadband must be down in India! 🦗 #INDvsAUSTest #INDvAUS

Joe Ortenzi 🇨🇦 🇮🇹 🇦🇺 (@wheelyweb) reported from Sydney, New South WalesI overpaid one bill and @Telstra posted me a cheque. I’ve been a customer nearly a decade and they Posted A cheque. A. Cheque. FFS

Phillip Leeds. @PhillipLeeds@aus.social (@prleeds) reported from Sydney, New South WalesGood service from Telstra. Lightning strike fried our NBN box on Saturday afternoon, called Telstra who booked a technician to replace it this morning. He’s just been, all sorted.
-
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.
-
John Lutge (@JohnLutge) reported from Sydney, New South WalesThe 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.
-
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?
-
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
-
Bradley Deacon 🇦🇺 (@BradleyWDeacon) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@Optus How about warning network when this is happening, it’s called customer service @VodafoneAU and @Telstra are all over me to switch. Maybe a credit for customers for lack of contract performance? Or do we switch?
-
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.
-
Fionna Collantes (@FionnaYvette) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@Telstra Lol that was a late post.... was resolved already!! But Cecil Hills really has bad signal with Telstra so please fix that....
-
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.

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.
-
JPMasters (He/Him/They/Them) (@JPMasters) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@lesstenny @RNBreakfast I wasn’t listening this morning, but my thoughts are, rain - our infrastructure never considered there would be rain, mobile coverage infrastructure not keeping up with demand (I am 13km from Sydney GPO on a high point - hopeless with both Telstra and Optus), and NBN no doubt.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Brian Basson (@BassonBrain) reported"Asia Pacific went from world first to regional wave in 18 months" In December 2024, One NZ’s Satellite TXT debuted as the region’s first Starlink D2D service, available at no cost to eligible customers. It spans approximately 40% of New Zealand’s total landmass, where terrestrial coverage is unavailable, as well as roughly 20 km offshore. KDDI followed in April 2025 with au Starlink Direct, Japan’s first D2D service, then added app data in August 2025, support for a limited set of bandwidth-light apps beyond texting, and the first D2D data service anywhere. Telstra launched Australia’s first satellite texting product in early June 2025. One NZ added app data, including WhatsApp voice calls, in February 2026. SoftBank and docomo launched in April 2026, making Japan the only market where three operators run live Starlink services. Globe became the latest in the sequence in June 2026 with the Philippines’ first commercial satellite-to-mobile permit from the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC).

Amicus Curiae (@AmicusCuri99068) reportedoh yeah WE KNEW THAT! coverage went to **** and still IS!4gs ****** It’s true; the 3G shutdown created mobile coverage ghost towns Telstra chief executive Vicki Brady has revealed a Starlink workaround for Australians unable to call triple-0 after the 3G shutdown created mobile dead zones. (paywalled Tiser)

mark macca 🐅🐅🏆 (@mcdonellaussie) reported@JacintaAllanMP Simple solution do not rely on digital technology without having options in place if it fail! Telstra failure destroyed VLine why are radios not in every train outside of metro metropolitan? Do not rely on telcos network testing it lags regularly in the bush as it is!
-
Drake | Strategy (@mitri_drake) reported@r3tarddownunder @MehreenFaruqi Do not listen to this idiot. Privatisation has not failed. Privatisation reduced bloated government inefficiency and is the reason why ASIC, Telstra and many other organisations have streamlined their bloated costs. If you want to blame someone for Telstra’s issues, blame the exponential growth in Australia’s population. This has driven demand for services far beyond current supply. Infrastructure upgrades require resources — time, money and a capable workforce — to meet the new demand curve. Infrastructure does not magically appear just because something is suddenly managed by a corporation instead of the government.

'Dave Freer (@davefreersf) reported@RoadknightThe I got it. Telstra - **** service all week - but worked for this.

Casus Belli 🇦🇺🇦🇺 (@PHILIPDOWLING4) reportedHow many other single points of failure does the Telstra network have ? How long since Telstra
-
Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@CrySlyFly @ialihasaan @Batman2242 Telstra didn't want to bid as Sol Trulijio hated Labor. They ended up not putting in a valid proposal. The other bidders weren't able to provide bids with sufficient financial support.

Recon Bull (@ReconBull) reportedThere has been no fresh commercial announcement between $ASTS and Telstra (ASX:TLS), although Telstra now appears on the AST website! Still, these numbers from Telstra’s current $SPCX Starlink-powered satellite service are pretty interesting: 26m+ satellite texts sent or received. 2.9m+ customers connected at least once. 200k+ connections per day, up from 80k at launch. Weekends and holidays are the busiest periods. Telstra has around 24.9m retail mobile and device services, so roughly 12% of its entire base has already connected via satellite in just 13 months. Australia itself only has a population of around 28m. Obviously this is Starlink, not ASTS, and these are users rather than paying satellite subscribers. But the bullish read-through is pretty clear. Theres obviously an announcement Incoming and demand for direct-to-device connectivity is not theoretical, even in a relatively small country with strong existing mobile coverage. If other regions see anything close to the same adoption, the potential usage across AST’s 3b+ partner subscriber base becomes pretty ridiculous.

wazza_gc (@WazzaGc) reported@Telstra been trying to pay a bill for the last *TWO* hours. Can't sign in. Mobile app: "we can't display your account, try later". Deleted and reinstalled app, no change. Windows 11: "something went wrong". This is ridiculous.

Yvonne (@YBartolovic) reportedYes it’s disgraceful just as bad as @Telstra and everyone else telling us to stay say and get jibbed we had to see it daily on the phones I had my phone off so go nothing ! There lol
