Tim (@TimothyJ_23) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaHey @telstra and @aamipark can u guys put your heads together and sort out reception load issues during events here? Optus and Vodafone seem fine. Telstra not so.
-
Adam (@Adam_Goldman) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Zelda_Doyle @Telstra I’m with @Optus it’s much the same. They actually blocked me when I raised an issue here.
-
Ade (@BillieHill64) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@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…
-
Thanks for coming (@VeteranDave) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaAsking 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? 😡

Kyle Minall (@kyleminall) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra Data was DEFINITELY not working for ~10 mins in Melbourne.
-
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 ☺
-
Danial Smith (@daniel2509) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra I sent a request via the app but nothing so I took it straight to Samsung and it seems the video and multiple forum post is not enough for them to admit their s22 range has this issue. They want it sent for analysis and repair before considering a refund.
-
Felicity Waters (@marbledspout) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaShall I discuss invoices sent by Telstra without identifying which service I was paying for ? Or the self populating services I was paying Optus?
-
Brian Humphries (@rocky1622) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaCoalition is bunch wackos especially nationals have had 9 years get phones internet for country and now in paper today there giving Telstra a wack. Stupid
-
DevaDev (@DevaDev21) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra Yes, 3 times he called, and helped redirect the call to technical support. But the tech person said to check something in the background. Then they disconnected the call without any notice.
-
James Hutcheon (@hutcho66) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@taipan168 And Telstra only faces minimum service guarantees in a very small component of the business where they continue to hold assets that used to be owned by the government. That's shrinking over time as the NBN buys out the copper.
-
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
-
Brian Humphries (@rocky1622) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaDon’t why Costello puts his nose RBA when he sold everything gas Telstra now look at country coalition made it cluster ****
-
Glenn Hampson (@GlennHampson) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@TonyCinema I have had no issue with their service and their price point craps all over Telstra for the same thing.
-
BILLY FOSTER PHOTOGRAPHY (@BillyFosterPics) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Teltsra @Telstra Wait your turn? A simple connection to broadband has taken 6 weeks, hours on the phone & the same conversation every single time. Your response is typical of the @Telstra Customer Service. Check the records and your total lack of professionalism in this response.
-
XXLR (@Xiaoxialiu8) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra I was get a good solution from your service team 👍well done ✅
-
Tim McMahon (@_TimMcMahon) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@NBN_Australia @Telstra Ended up being a <12 hour outage instead of 4 days. 🥳
-
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.
-
Brian Humphries (@rocky1622) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaWalk into Telstra shop to renew everything and new phones contracts and only taking appointments only l have loyal customer over 20 years can’t do it on week days so put pre order iPhones first before walk in customers
-

LinkedIn will tell you more about the people who work for Telstra. our emails aren’t exactly hard to figure out, they’re just our names and the domain.

vinni • 包沁燕 🇵🇸 (@glyphclutter) reported@BevJohnst i'm with telstra wholesale now and even then when i'm at my partner's place my signal is so shite i may as well be regional
-
Dave Jones (@eevblog) reportedTrying to switch from Telstra mobile. For the life of me I cannot find the required account number to port my account. I used to have an account number but Telstra switched me to from post paid to pre paid somehow and now I don't get a bill, only a receipt which doesn't have an account number on it. Cannot find it online in my account. Grok says dial *#150# which doesn't work. Anyone got any idea?
-
SJP (@SJPtweets) reported@telstra I was paying $80 per month and after contacting customer services, I am suddenly paying $84????? There was no warning of a price increase

immyonboard (@immyonboard) reportedWill be late to the iOS 27 beta this year because, as usual, my Telstra internet keeps crashing. 12+ times a day. Fix your **** @telstra, this is incompetent.

Andy (@Andy22000) reported@WhereMyOstrich @ausstockchick No need to respond in such a derogatory manner. Here is the list, I pulled this from Grok in app you can verify it easily. Recent major Australian companies announcing significant domestic layoffs and offshoring of corporate/white-collar roles — Woolworths, Officeworks, Telstra, and NAB — have timed these moves amid sharp rises in domestic employment costs. • Woolworths (early June 2026) is offshoring hundreds of head-office roles in IT, finance, and HR to India/Philippines as part of cost-cutting to stay competitive with Aldi and Amazon. • Officeworks (late May 2026) is shifting hundreds of support, customer service, and tech roles to Bengaluru and Manila, boosted by AI/automation. • Telstra (earlier 2026) cut hundreds of roles (up to 650 in rounds) with work moving offshore to India. • NAB has expanded offshore teams in India/Vietnam (adding 1,000+ roles) while managing Australian redundancies. This wave aligns closely with escalating domestic labour costs: The national minimum wage and award rates rose 3.5% from July 2025, superannuation guarantee hit 12%, and the Fair Work Commission announced further increases effective July 2026 (4.75% on awards, ~5.9–6% on the minimum wage to $26.44/hour). Combined with weak productivity growth, higher on-costs (payroll tax, workers’ comp, etc.), and strong wage pressures, this has widened the cost gap versus offshore locations where skilled roles can be 30–70% cheaper. Companies cite these factors — plus efficiency drives — as key reasons for prioritising offshoring while protecting or growing frontline retail/store jobs domestically. This reflects a broader 2025–2026 trend among Aussie firms responding to cost-arbitrage opportunities in a high-wage, lower-productivity environment.

SmartyPantsSurfer (@BowllGeoffrey) reported@wtfinawtfworld Imagine how bad its going to be as a Woolies employee dealing with an issue - I find it hard enough getting a reaction at Telstra or the Bank and Im a ******* customer!

-
Juno Nameon (@JunoNameon) reported@the_LoungeFly @Telstra You have to go through the ombudsman to get an Australian staff member, someone with access to your records apparently or can fix anything. The call centers are just to keep you preoccupied long enough that you get sick of it and go away.
