    Due to your totally unreliable service @Telstra I can not work from home. This has dragged on for weeks and your online thing now says is NBN related. I’m really annoyed and frustrated.

    @Telstra Thanks Jess - I have done the trouble shooting and when it completed the testing it asked me to contact Telstra - I gave up after being on hold for 4.5hrs

    @Telstra why are you the worst service provider of all time? Dial up connection is more reliable

    @sjp123abc @Telstra Irony is that communications companies are the worst at communication

    @jacket1962 @Telstra Yesterday having spent an hour online getting nowhere, not being able to speak to a person even though Telstra said I could. Drove to the local Telstra store where they told me the product Telstra suggested I should buy was useless and would not solve my problem.

    @joshh_dp Well. I was switching to Telstra anyway. My old carrier was ****

    @Telstra Now trying to cancel the @NBN_Australia order with @Telstra after 3 failed attempts to actually get #NBN - I sent a chat message today which is the only channel available and it took 4 hrs for Telstra to respond with the first text. WTF?? It is the worst experience.

  • chris8449
    Chris Arancibia (@chris8449) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    @Telstra - been on hold for 2.5hrs and no one has answered the call - NBN has not been working since Friday. This is costing me $$$ - I’m meant to be working - you are not helping small businesses... Please once and for all get your customer service and products sorted...!

  • chris8449
    Chris Arancibia (@chris8449) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    @Telstra Tomorrow afternoon - as a small business owner - having this NBN service that drops out a lot does put me in difficult positions a lot... Is this the norm for the NBN product...?

  • APACloud
    Andy ☁️ (@APACloud) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    @NBN_Australia @Telstra 3rd round of identical trouble shooting steps with 3 different support agents, zero progress getting the dropouts on my service resolved, day 4 and counting. Been on online chat with Telstra for 6hrs now. 😡🔫

  • robbiejwood
    Robbie Wood (@robbiejwood) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    @muddagen @Telstra @andy_penn Sure is. My Apple Watch 6 cellular isn’t compatible with the Telstra network. Been told that by three different Telstra employees. Yet they still advertise it works on the Telstra & Apple websites.

    Telstra really is **** in the Sydney CBD. Needed to download a file so tethered via Telstra mobile. It was going to take 2hrs. Switched to Vodafone mobile and downloaded in two minutes.

  • APACloud
    Andy ☁️ (@APACloud) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    @NBN_Australia @Telstra getting no response, still having issues, day 4, can't call as it dead ends me back to using the chat app which isn't working. Horrible horrible experience that's significantly impacting my ability to work 🤬

    Andy ☁️ (@APACloud) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    @NBN_Australia @Telstra are you or nbn going to sort out this half arsed service that I pay a fortune for?

    @Telstra in all the years I have dealt with Telstra, one thing has never changed. What is that? Well thanks for asking! It is the high levels of frustration that one experiences when contacting Telstra seeking assistance!

  • ethicalmartini
    Dr Anti-anti-vaxxer 💉💉 (@ethicalmartini) reported

    + @Telstra so I'm on the phone to your call centre following my problems last night, I'm not happy. To make thisgs wors, today the wifi is dropping out. I'm being literally run around my house fiddling with cords. How is this helping?

  • zvk10_mason
    MK26🇦🇺 (@zvk10_mason) reported

    @Telstra your customer service over the phone is a disgrace & designed to piss people off not help them... if someone else provided coverage in the Pilbara I'd be using them

  • cmani19
    Mani Vannan (@cmani19) reported

    @NSW_FairTrading Team, this is regarding Reference Number 10708330, I didn't get proper response from @Telstra, they made me to cancel my previous order and when they mentioned to give other phone on the same price, that also took wrong address for delivery and cancelled it.

  • MrMarc101
    Marc (@MrMarc101) reported

    How can a telecommunications company be so ******* useless and actually communicating? Spoken to 8 different people since this morning and had to repeat the whole story every single time because of they’re **** up. Seriously, Telstra can **** right off for good.

  • brendanrfoster
    Brendan Foster (@brendanrfoster) reported

    @Telstra I have to block anywhere from 2-6 random numbers a day. Put a stop to this ****. Luckily @Apple let’s me silence unknown numbers know cos you wouldn’t fix it. But fix it!

  • JiPenny
    Penny Ping Ji 😊 (@JiPenny) reported

    @Elbarstardo @i_borborygmi So buy a phone outright and get a prepaid sim. The plans are for suckers and keep you locked in a debt cycle. Better to get a cheap or second hand (or free) phone and use prepaid. You can even use Telstra network, but get better deal from a reseller (aldi)

  • MrMarc101
    Marc (@MrMarc101) reported

    @Telstra It's completely stopped. The support team don't seem to understand and they are trying to set me up with a brand new NBN connection for some reason. I would really like this resolved, as I've already spent 2 hours this morning trying to fix this.
