    Another 12hr outage from @telstra NBN. This is ridiculous. Maybe at some point I’ll have internet again.

    Craig Wilson (@mediahunter) reported from Newcastle, New South Wales

    Hello @Telstra we've had people working on trenches in our street this week. Now our internet is gone. I'm hot spotting from my phone for the whole house. Can you please help?

  • digitaldocs
    Paul Egglestone (@digitaldocs) reported from Newcastle, New South Wales

    @Telstra I have an incident number INC13781033. The issue requires a visit from one of your technicians apparently. Your colleagues on the message service said they’d booked one today (16th March). I asked them to confirm twice. They did. Took half a day off work. No technician.

    @Telstra ‘Your appointment is reserved but system is cancelled due to some technical issues’. What does this even mean?

  • hecivan70
    Ivan Hecimovic (@hecivan70) reported from Newcastle, New South Wales

    @Telstra Yes but I'm not getting anywhere. We have gone through numerous troubleshooting with no success. I have requested a Technician and was offered a few Timeslots, I chose one earlier today but it now looks as though it has not been reserved for me. I just want the issue fixed.

    shane brollo (@brollsy) reported from Newcastle, New South Wales

    @Telstra what a shite company. Cancelled a non contract modem 4 years ago. Kept charging me without me knowing as I thought it was cancelled. Not one bill or email. Now trying to get a loan and a default has appeared. But they can’t help me. Sending back and forth.

  • mediahunter

    @IAmSimonDell @Telstra Appalling at almost every level of customer service.

    Nick Williams (@nickintheworld) reported from Newcastle, New South Wales

    @a_choros **** Telstra, marry Vodafone, kill Optus... Truth be told I’d prefer to kill Telstra while screaming **** you and have an ongoing FWB with Vodafone and just leave Optus alone

    @Telstra Signed up with iiNet, not only is your service a disgrace but your customer service is as bad.

    @Telstra can you help me?I keep getting mail for someone who doesn’t live at my house,I return to sender, but still coming. I have opened the letter, it’s for a substantial debt but they’ve never lived here & the call centre is no help as they are having trouble understanding me

  • rikellebrown
    Rikelle Brown (@rikellebrown) reported from Newcastle, New South Wales

    @Telstra No customer service. Near impossible to contact. I have tried now on multiple occasions to cancel our home line as we moved. I've eventually spoke to someone who assured me it was finally sorted. Only 2 get ANOTHER bill for the home line. Pathetic!

Telstra Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ReconBull
    Recon Bull (@ReconBull) reported

    There has been no fresh commercial announcement between $ASTS and Telstra (ASX:TLS), although Telstra now appears on the AST website! Still, these numbers from Telstra’s current $SPCX Starlink-powered satellite service are pretty interesting: 26m+ satellite texts sent or received. 2.9m+ customers connected at least once. 200k+ connections per day, up from 80k at launch. Weekends and holidays are the busiest periods. Telstra has around 24.9m retail mobile and device services, so roughly 12% of its entire base has already connected via satellite in just 13 months. Australia itself only has a population of around 28m. Obviously this is Starlink, not ASTS, and these are users rather than paying satellite subscribers. But the bullish read-through is pretty clear. Theres obviously an announcement Incoming and demand for direct-to-device connectivity is not theoretical, even in a relatively small country with strong existing mobile coverage. If other regions see anything close to the same adoption, the potential usage across AST’s 3b+ partner subscriber base becomes pretty ridiculous.

    @deborahbrian Me. Probably due to Telstra black-out/inteferance from Pitch Black... I suppose defence (spelt with a 'c' cookers) takes precedence over Emergency Alerts? 🤔

  • BilsonhBilson
    Heather Bilson. (@BilsonhBilson) reported

    @gpeurocars These 1/2 wits leave us unsafe! Telstra & Optus widespread outages triggers severe, cascading national security & public emergencies as modern infrastructure is hyper-connected, a single software defect or network drop instantly paralyzes critical systems, not just calls. 2/2 🧵

  • Theofatcat
    Theofatcat (@Theofatcat) reported

    I’m wondering if Telstra Optus etc will cope on Monday 27th when all the emergency services etc are planned to be delivered to phones

    @Ryandally08 Wrong, taking leaves while in office is what they raised issue when Telstra CEO who earned leave was away. Hypocrisy by Queen. Also read that after queen ,Princess will lead the nation?

  • YBartolovic
    Yvonne (@YBartolovic) reported

    Yes it’s disgraceful just as bad as @Telstra and everyone else telling us to stay say and get jibbed we had to see it daily on the phones I had my phone off so go nothing ! There lol

    @JakeBeer11 @OhappySt My telstra worked for this the first time outside of the small space it actually gets service here. Did it deliberately, and now I want to know what the actual **** Telstra ....

  • BrentHodgson
    Brent Hodgson (@BrentHodgson) reported

    @geofiasco @DHughesy @aaronsmith Aside: Whether the Telstra sale was ultimately a windfall is contested. It raised $60bn to sell the assets, then we spent $60bn on NBN Co just to regain access to the assets sold and duplicate/upgrade the network we sold - and Telstra has paid something like $80-85bn in shareholder dividends along the way. In many respects, NBN shouldn't exist. It should have been the $80-85bn in "shareholder dividends" to the Public Owner that paid for the fibres to be laid - not a $60bn investment after a $60bn sale. But NBN was forced to be created after a now-shareholder-owned Telstra responded to how it might build a national broadband network with a non-compliant 12 page letter effectively saying "we won't - the copper wires are our privately-owned monopoly and we want to protect our market monopoly".

    With all the massive profits that @Telstra are making, it’s about time they use some to improve their network coverage in areas other than big cities. Rural & regional areas all seem to share the one tower. Some even have to drive a kilometre to get service for a call.
