Telstra Outage in Newstead, Mount Alexander, State of Victoria

For 2mths @Telstra have mishandled my order and follow up complaint. @andy_penn’s fixit team refuse to review all the material but they think a $60 “good will” credit is enough to make up for it. @MichaelAckland3 I really feel like a valued long term customer.

@Telstra It doesn’t seem to matter who makes the request. It all goes into the same black hole. You know things are bad when @andy_penn can’t fix stuff at Telstra.

@Telstra Email received from fixit team rep Tuesday morning AEDT. Replied Tuesday afternoon AEDT. Sent follow up early Thursday morning AEDT. Called midday AEDT today, got voicemail and emailed to ensure she knew I'd called and wasn't OoO. My initial complaint was submitted ~6wks ago.

@Telstra Thanks for the boilerplate response. I feel like a valued customer. The issue is the complaints team are unwilling not unable to resolve this matter.

@Telstra The specialist team never contacted me despite the message here that it had been escalated to them. So many failures from your side in handling this matter.

@Telstra I wasn’t getting anywhere with the complaints team lead. I lodged a complaint with the TIO. They told me to work with Telstra to resolve the issue. The team lead is insisting I deal with the TIO. That contradicts what the TIO says you should be doing.

@Telstra I can also give them the TIO complaint # when they contact me. The team lead I was dealing with insisted on sending more boilerplate about me emailing my DOB and refusing to acknowledge I’d authenticated over the phone. I don’t care who sorts it out. Email me a concrete offer.

@hipstergeddon @Telstra I finally found someone competent. Hopefully I’ll get a resolution tomorrow.

@Telstra I have suggested times she could call. She always calls at other times. She never calls back within the windows advised by colleagues. Email is the most efficient way for us to move forward at this point.

JFC! I order new phones from @Telstra. I get 8 missed calls & a voicemail from Telstra Business Centres. I waited 12mins to find out Kelly wanted to tell me about their exciting products but she was busy with someone else. @andy_penn I feel like a commission cheque not a customer

@mattgillard @Telstra I’ve found chat is the best way to get shit sorted with Telstra these days. The transcript is very helpful in case of problems down the road.

Telstra fuckups are like bad luck, they always come in 3s. I'm being billed for O365 with no warning previous free offer had expired. 10 digit account numbers allow access to different products compared to a 13 digit one. Getting an Apple Watch on a business plan is a major PITA.

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.
