Telstra Outage in Portarlington, Greater Geelong, State of Victoria

Hi @telstra - there has been almost zero mobile internet 9am-9pm for 3 days in #portarlington - can’t load or use apps or send or receive anything except text. Could you pls consider another tower down here to cope with the holidays? 🤞🙏

@NBN_Australia why is it so difficult to get issues rectified? I’m stuck in a loop between you and @telstra. Two years on and our nbn is still slow. It shouldn’t be this difficult.

@Telstra Thanks Stacey, word around town is that the tower was hit by massive thunder/lightning storm we had a few days ago. Maybe should be on the outage site 🤔

Thanks @Telstra just missed Telehealth call my specialist due to poor/no mobile reception

@Telstra hi can I get some help please... App chat has been on hold with me for 38 mins when we were going along swimmingly

@Telstra my wife has lost her phone and needs to divert it to another phone. She works in a hospital providing an essential service. Please help ASAP

@tallymarkz @Telstra Now, you get outages that’s weeks because they have nothing to force them to ensure their customers get a reliable service. In fact, if they were forced to pay customers one months line rental PER DAY the outage/fault continues beyond the initial timeframe; maybe customers WOULD

Good Q. Down here in Seachange given up on the NBN. Use Telstra 4G box. Not good enough. NBN imposed.

@annaspargoryan As someone who worked adjacently to telstra, we would always advise people with problems like this to go to the TIO. They usually have it sorted within 2 weeks.

@Telstra Thanks for your help Lauren. I have messaged you. Unfortunately after an hour on the Telstra chat messaging service they still won’t give me a reference number. Hope we can rectify.

@JasonofSyd @RavenZech2 Optus is a lot better than Telstra I've complained about service to both & Telstra is like talking to a brick wall, too thick to be able to get through #arrogant

Telstra is probably the worst Australian service ever because they don't care about putting more effort in customer service. @Telstra

@Telstra Actually, I just remembered I had fuether discussion with Telstra tech support people when NBN became available in our area.

@dazngroup Contacted before and advised on the issues of playing back content via the DAZN app and I am based in Australia Here is Australia I use Telstra which is a premium provider with download speed of 107.5 Cannot watch content back but no issues with Kayo, Fite etc

The @Telstra app & general retail service is exceptionally unhelpful - treats me as a business, despite always being a residential user, & fails to respond when change requested.

@timrosen35 @Optus Yes, my wife used to get cut off when we were on the phone (she was Optus). We're both on Telstra now and there are no issues at all now.

@Telstra Excellent change, win/win from absolutely every angle, having call centre jobs located in genuinely regional locations - regional Aus $ injection, society benefits, higher customer satisfaction. Fingers crossed @Qantas follows suit as O/S call centres also infuriating. @VicBStard

@Telstra @moonyeyed Telstra service is so **** even walking into a telstra store is a nightmare you guys are hopeless and need to have a hard look at your customer service especially response time
