-
Tim McMahon (@_TimMcMahon) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@NBN_Australia @Telstra Ended up being a <12 hour outage instead of 4 days. 🥳
-
Lous (@lousanti) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra really. Pay a bill 2 days late and get slugged with a late fee that is 20% of the bill. That is really poor, greedy and nasty. So much for customer loyalty!
-
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
-
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.
-
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 ☺
-
Tanya (@tigertufftanya) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@andrewtiger9 @Telstra It is horrid. We had no Foxtel for over 24 hours because there was a fault with the Telstra cable it runs off.
-
Nikki Clare (@Niksterisms) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra can you please advise if there is any ongoing issue with the NBN in Kings Park Vic 3021 area. It’s been over 3 weeks now and it keeps dropping in and out. I’ve replaced a cord and it’s still happening. Thanks
-
Sam (@CTRL_ALT_DEL) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaI never expect much from @telstra support, but the service is next level unhelpful. I just got told by a support member it’s my fault that Telstra has been billing me twice for internet every month for what looks nearly a year.
-
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.
-
Tim (@TimothyJ_23) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra Nope. 4G. Just everything grinds to a halt. Slow to load at Halftime break. I understand load increases at those times when lots of people are on their phones but it seems telstra is the only network that really struggles here.
-
Benedict (@The_Enunciator) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@RoryBurnside I’m with @Telstra with the home phone, they gave me a call guardian home phone, when set up, it forces spam calls to announce themselves, call centre workers never do, they just hang up. Haven’t had a single scam call in months
-
Nikki Clare (@Niksterisms) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaOh @Telstra I’m also $300+ in credit, but apparently your new system doesn’t talk to your old system, so will I ever be refunded that amount? The reason that I was ahead on my plan was because I set up my own payments to avoid being giving a bad credit rating you once threatened
-
Tony Margaritis (@sthmel) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra Arrrrrrgggg…… I’m like getting **** all data to sustain a chat, just get the boys to reboot the modem and router at the tower please.
-
Clare Murphy (@ClareAliceMurph) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@erinwatsonlynn @MrTimCallanan @Telstra Right?! Funnily enough, that info didn’t help explain why they disconnected the service or couldn’t reconnect it.
-
Vision 🍌 (@TheVision_13) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaThe Telstra logo on the 50 looks so bad, really doesn’t need the blue background
-
Dale Monteith (@dgmonty16) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra Thanks Reggie it happened late October and I spent quite a while trying to seek assistance by messaging system. I kept getting referred to someone else and the new messaging would start by asking what the problem was after speaking to someone r previously. I ended up resolving.
-
Chris Nelson (@qldtrials) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Marni_Kelly @Telstra People make all the difference Marni. Some want to help, others don’t care
-
Ananthasubramanian (@_chinmusic) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaFrustrated with @amaysimAU 's 4G connection. Have had bad experiences with @VodafoneAU & @Telstra in the past with network and exhorbitant pricing. Where do I go now ?
-
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?
-
Clare Murphy (@ClareAliceMurph) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaAnyone else hit by a @Telstra outage? My home internet’s been down since yesterday afternoon and there’s been no notification or estimate of when it will be restored. It’s also not showing up in the Telstra outage checker.

davie ewan macdonald (@escalatorover) reported.@Telstra In 2025 I had an issues with Telstar email outgoing server to my desktop. Eventually after 8 weeks Telstra finally accepted they were a cause of the dysfunction of my application. Today after 7 weeks I have had cause to write the following to Telstra. Dear Help Desk (Vicki Brady) Last Thursday and I don't know if it was in response to my previous write message (ONE OF SEVERAL) I was via text/sms promised a support call. New Case/reference Number 129518320 I have heard nothing! This issue with your server connectivity to my desk top application,encryption to your server incoming to my app means this matter has been ongoing now for 7 weeks. In April/May 2025 it took Telstra 8 weeks to accept responsibility. In the meantime I have been struggling with Webmail and today I can report in detail recorded over the past 3 days 11 (Eleven) separate bugs in webmail that are repeated multiple times amounting to 21 (Twenty One) cases of dysfunctional instances this morning. These issues reported at least as far back as 2023 but were again at various times over the past 7 (Seven) weeks. Only with a desktop application can these issues be minimized. The last consultant prior to my message of last week was highly disingenuous with me saying he would keep the case open until I as I offered to do again consult MS about the issues . The outcome was he simply closed the case as reported to you Tuesday last. DM's not accepted. Here is fine. Nothing to hide

There’s Only One Jezza (@StandMeOver) reported@herecomessuper And don’t forget the useless **** is the one who gave us NBN. That basically created another government run Telstra. For a technology that was never required.
-
Andrew Godman (@Andrew_Godman) reported@Telstra Not at home right now, but I’ve tried it in the past to no success when speeds are poor. I use to get 5 bars of 4g when the old tower was over the road. Now it’s 1 bar or either 4g or 5g after the “upgrades”
-
Unique Images Australia (@UniqueImagesAus) reported@BassonBrain @Jessdistrict11 @SpaceX I live 10km from the ocean, between two major cities. No phone signal in many many locations on our major highways. Cannot send a text while talking on the phone. I have two Telstra numbers, highest cost plan. Without Starlink mini mounted in everyone of our commercial cars, no comms. Australia has no world class highway connecting cities. Has no coastal phone network or fast internet. It’s 2026 and I though I would be in a flying car, reality is I cannot make a call and text simultaneously.
-
The Lord (@lord_tizza) reportedAnd Telstra support said it was a fault, after a hour and a half of trouble shooting. I checked NBN and looks like a service outage in our area - checked a couple of addresses in our road. How long do these usually take to resolve? I was looking forward to a good long weekend :(
-
yeah yeah its anne (@annabell_JG) reported@Telstra It wouldn't let me sign in with my pin so had to recreate a new one my password worked though but pin wouldn't let me in. I don't use passkey although I mistakenly write that in post.
-
Dan 🇦🇺🇮🇹 (@AussieLeafsDan) reported**** you @Telstra your service has been ******* horrible over the last 2 weeks, calls just drop out, barely any reception in built up areas, videos not loading getting the wheel of death and then you send me a notification that my bill is going up by $4 a month. Get ******!!
-
bamberee/Bree (@bamberee) reported@BrianJArbuckle Thank you.: I didn’t realise other companies use the Telstra network until this week. Time for me to start shopping around I think.
-
Madge (@Frafflee) reported@Telstra you send me a bill. I want to open it on my phone. But no I have to sign in. I don’t want to. I shouldn’t have to. No other utility provider has the hoops you put in place. Just like they allow payment via a payment portal not via their website. Do better.
