-
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 ...

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.
-
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.
-
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.

Chrisco (@chriscowa) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@telstra hey i am trying to pay a bill but your online service not working. Also I tried to set up direct debit.
-
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?
-
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.
-
Countess FrightBat ~ “The Evil One” ~ Нечистый (@CorruptNSW) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@Telstra I’ve just DM but I have no reference for that customer rep. I just hanged up angrily saying she could die if she can’t ring an ambulance. Mum is 86

Joe Ortenzi 🇨🇦 🇮🇹 🇦🇺 (@wheelyweb) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@Telstra You start by gaping about inclusions and costs. Perfect. Completely agree. Why were you operating perfectly before without requiring one to pay beforehand without documentation. As already mentioned, open to accepting your pay-before service model. Just not automatically
-
Katie McRobert (@KatieMcRobert1) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@Telstra DM sent, will try to check replies when I can but with no internet or phone connection & no mobile service inside the house it can be a bit problematic …
-
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 Wales@Telstra please confirm here the only way one can pay is beforehand & not bpay after a statement. Your staff use Netflix as a comparison but a phone & data service is completely unlike an entertainment subscription. It’s a false equivalent that is designed to deceive. #cxfail

Alexander Swift (@alexanderswift) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@Telstra Data outage in the Sydney CBD (darling harbour)? #outage
-
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.
-
John Lutge (@JohnLutge) reported from Sydney, New South WalesIn spite of not providing a service, @Telstra sure as hell never miss a bill. Is there no end to the agony of #Telco in #Australia. @AussieBroadband @acmadotgov
-
Nathalie Stewart (@NathalieS_29) reported from Sydney, New South Wales@estelle_landy @Telstra I gave up years ago with them. They're so rude. 🥺
-
Julie Trell 🌈 (@julietrell) reported from Sydney, New South WalesHey @Telstra I’m struggling w an answer abt unlocking my phone. MyTelstra support giving me mixed answers. Please confirm if it says “no SIM restrictions” it means my phone unlocked and I don’t need to go back to a shop & pay $80 or $25 to unlock. Then I can put new SIM in
-
Francisco G (@86franciscoG) reported from Sydney, New South Wales**** Telstra. Usless app. Crashing down
-
Joe Ortenzi 🇨🇦 🇮🇹 🇦🇺 (@wheelyweb) reported from Sydney, New South WalesTelephony is the only service where the cost has little relation to usage and value. Telstra “gave” me more data every year but my usage needs have not changed. Now I “have” 180gb/ month but have used less than 18gb/month this past year. But they insist I go to a new “plan”

Ladybugfunk (@ladybugfunk) reportedSo the government can spam all our phones but they can’t stop the curry muncher scammers from calling us under the pretence of - solar panels, batteries, Telstra tech support, ANZ Bank security executive - lol that last one was hilarious. given I knew head of security of a large corporation and nobody in head office would be calling customers. Ever. **** you very much Albo!
-
William Hawk (@WilliamOneHawk) reported@montrosegraham @News24Aust South Australian police confirmed there is nothing to suggest a regional South Australian woman's death was caused by the recent Telstra outage or any failure to connect to Triple Zero.

Annie W 🍷🌺 (🧵anniew1303) annie-w@bsky.social (@AnnieW1303) reported@JBollingmoore Recently we’ve had a Sorry from Origin, Harvey Norman and Telstra for ripping off customers, leaking customer info or failing to provide a service. Not good enough 🤬🤬
-
AlloAllo (@squirtlesma) reported@telstra ripping people off again & again How can you justify taking $280 repeatedly processing payments in $10+$20 lots for a PREPAID service & then not crediting the account 1x $20 was processed 4x & a pop up said it failed Now service suspended bill not paid IT'S PREPAID 🤬
-
KateM (@KateMSce) reportedMelbourne, Aust: Has anybody else who is with Telstra (or Boost or ALDI mobile, etc) had calls going silent mid call and having to hang up and call again? Only started yesterday. Not just me .. two other people I know. Have lodged a complaint with @Telstra and waiting.
-

Di Downunder (@DFactualists) reportedF'ing @Telstra bill not due sends 50 reminders. I get the worst service & pay good money!!

Chris (@Chrisjstony) reported@gjblue With about 180 new Appartmemts built less than 100mtrs from me in the past 10 years. Telstra bandwidth has failed. Telstra could not give a ****

Mo Syed (@msyed_) reportedWhat's happening in the land down under 1. AusAlert passed the test. That’s not the same as passing the public. Millions of phones lit up during the national AusAlert test. Others got nothing. Older phones missed it. Landlines missed it. Queensland has already said it’s not signing up yet. The government still called it a success. That’s the problem with big national systems. They can work at scale and still fail the people who need them most. An emergency alert isn’t a marketing email. “Most people received it” isn’t the standard. The standard is whether it reaches the person in a flood zone, bushfire path, or cyclone area, including people with old devices, poor coverage, disabilities, or no smartphone at all. 2. Origin’s breach has moved from “what was stolen?” to “what was agreed?” Origin has confirmed data from about 900,000 current and former customers was taken. Now the alleged hacker says the matter has been privately settled and the data won’t be released. That leaves one very obvious question: was a ransom paid? Companies hate talking about this because there are no good options. Paying doesn’t guarantee deletion. Not paying can mean customer data gets dumped online. And either way, the people whose details were stolen have no say in the negotiation. The breach is the first failure. The weeks of uncertainty afterwards are the second. 3. A Telstra outage stopped trains. It shouldn’t have. A telecoms outage took out trains because the switch to the Telstra mobile network was poorly managed. This is what people mean when they talk about critical infrastructure. A train network shouldn’t depend on one fragile link behaving perfectly. The backup needs to be real. Tested. Able to fail over without someone discovering in the middle of an outage that the contingency plan was mostly a PDF and good intentions. Australia is wiring more of daily life into connected systems. Reliability is no longer an IT metric. It’s whether people can get home.
