    @erinwatsonlynn @MrTimCallanan @Telstra Right?! Funnily enough, that info didn’t help explain why they disconnected the service or couldn’t reconnect it.

    @MattThomas1405 I feel your pain. I once had an issue with Telstra that meant we ended up with no internet. After 3 months of useless advice and zero help from them I ended up diagnosing & fixing the problem myself. I now try and avoid dealing with them at all…

    @JoshFrydenberg A 2 year wait & 2 years on we get worse internet in Balwyn Nth (Kooyong) under your nbn than previous adsl with regular messages like this “Hi, We have added additional data to your Telstra Smart Modem back up to keep you connected while we fix your NBN service”

  • JohnnyLydon
    Johnny (@JohnnyLydon) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    This is my 5th message this year advising nbn co is doing running repairs on the lnp’s botched nbn. “Hi from Telstra. NBN Co are performing network updates in your area on 3 June 2022. Your internet service may be interrupted” - meantime it’s buffering & disconnects galore

    Best play of the day in the #aflgf so far has to be the Telstra ad during the break, highlighting how safe their network is…

    Tony Margaritis (@sthmel) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @Telstra There are over 15-20 Telstra phones here and everyone having the same issues, just send someone to the phone tower and unplug and plug back in, it needs a reboot, trust me, I’m a limo driver.

    @PhilipBouchier @Terrytoo69 Telstra has always been crap . NBN is crap ! So many better high speed networks should have been optic fibre start to finish ! Bring back PMG things worked back then!

    I have rarely received scam calls. Interesting I am now getting multiple a day. Scam: I am calling about your Telstra internet. (I am with @Optus: not a recommendation btw) Rob: Did you say 'Telstar'? Scam: Telstra. It's an internet service provider. Rob: Oh is it?

  • GlennHampson
    Glenn Hampson (@GlennHampson) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @lhjh70 I’ve been called by Vodafone, Telstra and IiNet as well as ANZ and NAB of which i am a customer of none it takes 5 secs for them to kick in and a common accent in all of the calls

  • _TimMcMahon
    Tim McMahon (@_TimMcMahon) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @vertikar @NBN_Australia @Telstra The irony in Telstra workers having Optus and Vodafone services for continuity just in case nbn and Telstra mobile go down. 😬

  • Niksterisms
    Nikki Clare (@Niksterisms) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @maesy5 @Telstra Yep! 100% I don’t even bother anymore. It’s frustrating and such a waste of time. Apparently it dropping out consistently is no issue. I think we’ve all been taken for a ride on this.

  • Stacey_Murray_
    Stacey Murray (@Stacey_Murray_) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @Telstra Telstra has confirmed via phone that closest tower is offline. We have no internet in any form at all. Would like to know when it will be reinstated. Your website is not showing the outage.

  • VeteranDave
    Thanks for coming (@VeteranDave) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    Asking for @telstra help from my Twitter friends. I wasted 3 hours with their help service on Friday. Cannot view Kayo footy because download speed is too slow. Recent occurrences. My question. HTF do you get someone to come to your house and fix it? Is that still possible? 😡

  • MitchRobinson_
    Mitch Robinson (@MitchRobinson_) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @bkubel That’s Telstra, did #StayHome March last year then #StaySafe most of the last year or so, and updated to #LetsVaxx around like June. So far as I know it’s on all phones they support

  • TimothyJ_23
    Tim (@TimothyJ_23) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @Telstra I understand all that. I'd just think if the issue happens on telstra devices and not those on other networks maybe it's something to discuss with the venue. I know telcos work with venues on capacity boosting infrastructure hence my suggestion ☺

  • ppossej
    Michael Jessopp (@ppossej) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    Huh. 13 years on Twitter. I only joined up to test a Telstra Mobile service that joined your social networks together ... and you could tweet by sending SMS to a Telstra Mobile short code. Crazy days.

    Couldn't help misreading that @Telstra ad painted on the ground as "Australia is Why..T". Like when your eyes go the wrong way on a comic. Unfortunate visual oops. #NRLGF

    @Naymmm_ @stupidtechtakes *actually the governments fault for whatever stupid reason, they forced Telstra/TPG/Optus to do these blanket bans on VoLTE capable devices if they weren’t sold locally for whatever reason

    Andrew (@andrewrdn463) reported

    @Telstra Telstra asking customers to prove how they were affected by the outage is digusting. STOP IT VICKI BRADY - YOU ARE ON $8 MILLION A YEAR!!!!!!!

    @Telstra Talk is cheap. At the very least, provide a refund for the days where you didn’t provide service.

  • MisterSpock8888
    Cool McCool (@MisterSpock8888) reported

    @Telstra 3/6 3. Doesn't make sense. "We" & "I". Is she apologising for her team? Shud read "On behalf of TLS, I apologise for the disruption our network failure caused last week.” Paragraph 2 4. "Issue...caused signif disruption...people rely on us". thanks for telling us what we know.

    @ChristineMilne As long as he can blame Telstra on his wife not being able to contact him, the man is dark down drunk happy

  • HappyPawsTreats
    Lynn Phillips (@HappyPawsTreats) reported

    Just got an email from Telstra. Couldn't copy the image, so this is the body of the mesasage. An "apology". That's all. These people aren't serious AND they're cheap .... "Sorry we let you downLast week we let you down, and I am sorry for that. An issue in our mobile network caused significant disruption to our customers and to Australians. We know how much people rely on us to keep in touch, do their work, run businesses and stay safe. It's extremely frustrating when mobile services aren't available, and we're deeply sorry for the impact this had on so many people. Networks are large and complex, and we invest significantly in the resilience of our network. When something goes wrong, we're committed to taking accountability, giving you clear information, and fixing issues as quickly as possible. We understand what caused the issue and will complete a full investigation and take what we learn to make our network stronger. You have my commitment on that. More details about what occurred are available on our network outage webpage, including if you want to get in contact or make a complaint. We've also seen some reports of customers receiving calls from fraudsters trying to take advantage of this moment. Please be extra careful of calls you receive from people claiming to be from Telstra. If you're unsure, hang up and call us directly. We take our responsibility as Australia's largest telco extremely seriously. Thank you for your patience as we worked through this, and for the trust you place in us. We don't take it for granted. Vicki Brady, Chief Executive Officer, Telstra📷"

    If telstra can pay this woman Mullins every year . Then surely they can stress test their system to the point where they don't bring down the communications system across Australia .

  • FKhnopff
    Ferdie Khnopff (@FKhnopff) reported

    @Democracy_Duck @ABCmediawatch Are you suggesting giving the network back to public ownership? To an organisation like NBN where rejects from Telstra & Optus go to work? (Including Telstra's so-called risk management 'experts' BTW) With ACMA keeping an eye on things?
