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.

Thanks for nothing @Telstra. Eagerly anticipating better service from an alternate provider

@smh @zoesam93 Thanks for the $50bn white elephant K Rudd. The only winner: Telstra who got to sell their decrepit copper network so Turnbull could f**k things up further.

@Telstra Fix you God damm ******* Internet or I am going to **** in your pants

@Telstra no one ever did get back to me on why the 4g and 5g service is so shite where I live. 3 towers within 2.5km and a dozen within 5km but I still need to use wi-fi calling to guarantee calls getting through. Makes the 4g backup on my nbn modem useless.

@carolduncan @NickRossTech The worst thing is he KNEW what he was saying was rubbish. Back at the beginning of 2007 Telstra notified my area they were replacing the decaying copper with fibre then didn’t because the NBN would do it. 10 minutes from the cbd and my street’s node is over 2 kms away

@Telstra Yes, fully eligible, enough points etc etc, just the website has crashed, it literally said try again later, so again, bad customer experience, my points earned, rewards should be easy

Typical of @Telstra they send you a Telstra Plus Rewards Store Hot Offers, then make it awfully difficult to register, sign in, then you select the product, go thru transactions, lo and behold, website crashes at the last page, trying to claim the reward #custexpfail

PSA to Aussies. Never get NBN through Telstra. That **** ******* sucks.

Spent the past FOUR hours trying to sort out @Telstra and @Foxtel issues this afternoon when Dad & sister with me. Two calls dropped out and no calls back. Alex from Brisbane most helpful after 2 hour runaround from #Telstra NBN & #Foxtel…

@Telstra Thanks Tanasha. A service tech is coming from Bendigo tomorrow so I think it’s under control. The online chat service is seriously broken however & I would recommend @telstra customers avoid it like, well, the Plague. I’m settled down now & don’t wish to raise BP by sharing.
