    @Jane_L_Kennedy @Telstra I should also point out that the @CommBank weren't much help either, as they never called him to say some random person was trying to take $19,000 out of his account and never bothered to refund the money for their negligence

    The Telstra logo on the 50 looks so bad, really doesn’t need the blue background

    @TMFScottP @Telstra @NBN_Australia Agreed. My provider offered broadband back as of all the problems in the area. I'm sure others had the same offer. I'm also sure it will improve one day. However school work needs to be done.

    Hey @Telstra @Foxtel the communication between the two of you & the ability to resolve an issue is awful. Upgrading a Foxtel box should not be this complicated. Into the 3rd hour now….

    @Zelda_Doyle @Telstra I’m with @Optus it’s much the same. They actually blocked me when I raised an issue here.

    @Telstra I have a landline in Melbourne 3000 that does not work at all. I have the same number since 2005. It stop working for 1 month now. We are a small business and our clients can’t contact us. Business is hard and we are abandoned out here @cityofmelbourne please help?

    @Telstra I had a complaint raised, theny called and said there was nothing they could do over the phone and Mum needed to set up an online account!! They were then getting someone to call yesterday and surprise. Nobody called. I'll send a message but not holding my breath for a resolution

    6.32 Mbps down and 15.3 Mbps up when I use a SIM card for a different telco in my Smart Modem. Telstra 4G backup SIM card is too slow. 0.16 Mbps. Dialup speeds. 😱

    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…

    Mick (@mikjcal) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @3bsBruce @SydGuy78 Process was simple as with @VodafoneAU - on the new iPhone just went to settings > mobile > add eSIM from nearby phone - took a few minutes😳😳 Surprised the others are having such a hard time. You’d think Telstra of all carriers given their size would have their **** together.

    @Telstra Data was DEFINITELY not working for ~10 mins in Melbourne.

    @Optus get your act together and please fix your internet outage! I can’t keep having not service for period of time!!! It has been weeks since internet keep cutting out daily and constantly within 10 minutes! People cannot work or study like this!! Maybe time to look at @Telstra

    Coalition 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

  • EileenOrmsby
    Eileen Ormsby (@EileenOrmsby) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @Telstra Hey, #telstra why ask to DM if all you’re going to do is tell me to message the app? Why not say it here? The app is an abyss of endless requests to repeat the steps that didn’t work the first 50 times, before fading away without a resolution

  • vitomattvm
    vito m (@vitomattvm) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @Telstra Confusion over Telstra/Foxtel responsibility is an issue. When instructed to call Telstra by Foxtel, the T rep put me on hold “to look into it” & suddenly I found myself transferred to a F rep, more confused than I was. Why is this all so unnecessarily complicated?

  • dgmonty16
    Dale Monteith (@dgmonty16) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @Telstra Thanks Reggie its been a couple of times and it’s difficult to convey gravity of problem by messaging. More recently it related to a scam and I had to ask that I not be handed to someone else as it was in their area…meant having to retype the message. Speaking to someone better

  • RedfernMichelle
    Michelle Redfern (@RedfernMichelle) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @DianeJamesAM @Telstra I hear you Diane, I’m now with other providers after a lifetime of loyalty (both as an employee & customer) due to the appalling service which has resulted in no less that 3 escalations to the office of the CEO @andy_penn

  • czaxx
    Ben (@czaxx) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    Received a phishing call allegedly from @Telstra - a little more clever than usual - they offered a 40% discount on my bill for 12mths & when I said "sure,apply the discount" they said they just needed some"verification": name&DoB. Never give these details to unverified callers.

    Tim McMahon (@_TimMcMahon) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    Telstra 4G backup speed is 0.16 Mbps (down) in the Smart Modem. 💀 6.32 Mbps (down) when I use a SIM card from another telco in the modem. 🧐 Smart Modem with 4G backup is so slowwwww 🐌 @Telstra

    @vishaltsubasa I did that plenty of times. Turns out it was a Telstra issue all along. 😵‍💫

  • Eric3Gribble
    Eric Douglas Gribble (@Eric3Gribble) reported

    @RossCameron4 I was serious. you would not think that an overhead satellite could pick up the weak signal from a mobile phone but it can. Apparently the new version 3 satellites to be launched by Starship when it is operational, will have the capacity for a direct to cell link. Technology never sleeps even if Telstra does.

    @JacintaAllanMP Except we can’t get there because @Telstra outage has stalled most @VLine trains!! Leave your taxpayer funded car at home and catch PT Jacinta to and just how unreliable the entire system is.

    Is the Telstra outage still going?? I'm not with them, but my old lady is. Is it for real still going??

    Just received a text from Telstra, I thought it was about today's outage but no it was a more important issue, they were having issues billing customers their Foxtel subscriptions. They will organise refunds for over charges. The important things. #telstraoutage

    @EchoRadios I bought 2. Work perfectly. No dramas. My Telstra network went down for a few hrs today. Could still reach my work buddy as a back up.
