Telstra Issues Reports Near Melbourne, State of Victoria

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Melbourne and nearby locations:

  • TeamBloomart Guy Incognito (@TeamBloomart) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @JohnBirmingham @Telstra @Optus I used to pay my dad's bigpond account (in his name, my cc direct debit deets). When he died I tried to cancel the account. Imagine how that went.

  • mikedoeslife Mike Stevens (@mikedoeslife) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Turns out the fastest way to get service in a Telstra store is to walk in with an Optus bag in your hand

  • mikjcal Mick (@mikjcal) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @drewciferNZ @phazzles Issue is, it’s for the elderly, so Telstra might be a better option in this instance as the 4G backup won’t leave them with no phone if an issue arises with the internet.

  • timothy_89 Timothy (@timothy_89) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra every few weeks you turn back on my voicemail. I don’t want one. I’ve never wanted one.

  • AGhostMachine 𝔾𝕙𝕠𝕤𝕥𝕀𝕟𝕋𝕙𝕖𝕄𝕒𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕖 (@AGhostMachine) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus Yup - bought some extra data and continued to use the Optus 4g to power my household. I will be sending the bill the way of Telstra if they ever try to resolved the issue :(

  • kevdee4 Kevin Rankin (@kevdee4) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    .@Telstra you have said it will be 24-48 hours for 4 weeks now and I still haven’t received a phone call. Your customer service is absolutely terrible. I’m canceling my service with you so I’d like a call back to find out where I send your modem back too.

  • kevdee4 Kevin Rankin (@kevdee4) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra worst decision ever was to sign up with Telstra. Not one single person who I’ve spoke to can identify the problem. 4 weeks without working adsl, you even sent the first months bill through the week I signed up, shocking service.

  • _prkr Parker (@_prkr) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Turns on data roaming and it connects to optus... settings>data>network> @Telstra 🙏🏻

  • AGhostMachine 𝔾𝕙𝕠𝕤𝕥𝕀𝕟𝕋𝕙𝕖𝕄𝕒𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕖 (@AGhostMachine) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra It has just updated and is down again for another 2 days :(

  • DermieTom Tom ruttkay (@DermieTom) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    NBN connected my service yesterday. Today, I have two modems, a wiz bang little NBN box and I CANNOT ACCESS THE INTERNET...and both Telstra and NBN don’t want to know about it and point the finger at each other.I have joined the NBN ***** Community!

  • mikjcal Mick (@mikjcal) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @phazzles I’m going through the same with my parents. Telstra hands down as you get 4G back up so the phone will always work even if an outage happens 👌🏻 Telstra will also do phone only NBN Plans with pensioner discount.

  • AGhostMachine 𝔾𝕙𝕠𝕤𝕥𝕀𝕟𝕋𝕙𝕖𝕄𝕒𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕖 (@AGhostMachine) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra @Telstra you have now slowed my 'backup' 4g to the point I cannot even load netbanking or the public transport site. And thrboutsgrbstillnhas 2 days (which will take it to 8-9 days down) unthrottle this backup immediately please .

  • tweet__j_b_ Jonathan (@tweet__j_b_) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra ... and then you’ll charge $100 a month for a pitiful data allowance, like you have elves with a good union digging in your data mine or some shit.

  • maisysh Maisy Hutchings (@maisysh) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra Your message is considered commercial in nature as it contains a link to an advertisement (for a product/service I’m not a customer of). Asking me to provide my contact details again in order to unsubscribe is pretty dodgy and not the level of customer service I expect.

  • Claireabelle Claireabelle (@Claireabelle) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    This Telstra outage is extremely frustrating but also outlining just how much I rely on the interest 🙄 #Telstra #overitnow #internet

  • KoparaFallsKid Robyn D (@KoparaFallsKid) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Pamelanicholls6 @andrewofoz @JaneCaro @Telstra In my view, they should provide free additional phone data when broadband is down.

  • GregRandall1 TheWeed (@GregRandall1) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @JohnBirmingham @Telstra @Optus Oh I feel your pain. I had to organise internet with a fixed IP address for my Mum’s home security cams. She kept cancelling her internet account because “I don’t use that rubbish” and setting up new, costly phone accounts that involved cancel fees. #dayslost

  • AGhostMachine 𝔾𝕙𝕠𝕤𝕥𝕀𝕟𝕋𝕙𝕖𝕄𝕒𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕖 (@AGhostMachine) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra I assure you it is nothing to do with the on site equipment. There has been close to thirty outages in two months. I simply want to report this node/leg as still being down

  • AGhostMachine 𝔾𝕙𝕠𝕤𝕥𝕀𝕟𝕋𝕙𝕖𝕄𝕒𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕖 (@AGhostMachine) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Telstra outage continues with the status as still 'investigating' pretty sure we are on day 11 now.

  • AGhostMachine 𝔾𝕙𝕠𝕤𝕥𝕀𝕟𝕋𝕙𝕖𝕄𝕒𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕖 (@AGhostMachine) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Last night's (amazing) stream took 30+ gig of mobile Data - unfortunately I don't think I can keep that up. 11 days into this Telstra outage they gave me a return time of 7pm tomorrow... Let's cross or fingers/toes/other bits.

  • ddrathnayake3 ddrathnayake (@ddrathnayake3) reported

    @Telstra who is the #Genius that came up with the idea that, when Service is down the ONLY way the customer can contact the support by a email? how does that even work!! #Belong @Telstra_news @TelstraBcast

  • helliebells HellieB (@helliebells) reported

    @TraceySpicer @Telstra I found out my 80+ mother was paying $350/mth for mobile & home phone, on a 2 yr contract. Mobile was owned outright. She never signed a contract. It took months to fight, never had a refund & moved her elsewhere. She now pays $25/mth for same service.

  • _Liz_S_ Liz (@_Liz_S_) reported

    @TraceySpicer @maddiepalmer @Telstra I reported landline/internet issue. Telstra couldn't get me via landline so sent an email. I didn't respond within the requested 3 days, the case was closed. Problem fixed apparently.

  • MarriedtoBringo Super pissed off Scientist (@MarriedtoBringo) reported

    @TraceySpicer @Telstra Am sure that's why but maybe if he can have "medical condition" added to his file and that he requires phone service...instead of cutting him off they could just contact NOK.. ? Good luck , hope you get some resolution xx

  • maddiepalmer Maddie Palmer (@maddiepalmer) reported

    @Mcali4 @Telstra I agree. In a pandemic, all care needs to be given to assure that elderly/vulnerable people can call for support and help. @Telstra made a good move last year in making public phones free - there’s an opportunity here to make sure homebound people have similar access.

  • Richard30507524 Richard Shaw (@Richard30507524) reported

    @Telstra Hi Vicky, sorry lost my twitter login/new phone The service here is still very bad. I have reset everything, made sure there are no devices hogging the bandwidth, and tested at different times. There appear to be massive slowdowns intermittently that can't be rectified on our end

  • Lala_Firehawk loud Australian 🧻🧽🧼🦠 (@Lala_Firehawk) reported

    @TraceySpicer @Telstra Yeah, they probably sent him email to his Imaginary email account, telling him his service was suspended. My ISP just issues a late fee charge. But my service doesn't get interrupted.

  • getgavin Gavin McDougall | 麥格文 (@getgavin) reported

    @Telstra I did get to a store. Achieving my goal was more difficult than needed but it has been resolved. More importantly, I hope the CS LINE issue has been resolved. A default "heavy call load" message isn't a load issue - it's a lack of staffing issue! 2 hours wait is ridiculous.

  • TraceyCoulton Tracey Coulton (@TraceyCoulton) reported

    @TraceySpicer @Telstra Currently in protracted conversations with @Telstra due to NBN to my house stopped over 5 weeks ago. They’ve sent me 4 modems that don’t work and they can’t fix nbn because it is already connected.

  • TheAndrewLeRoy Andy Le Roy (@TheAndrewLeRoy) reported

    @TraceySpicer @Telstra For Telstra, yes. They made my 83 year old dad sign up for internet saying his phone service would be cut off due to NBN rollout. They gave him ADSL because their fibre was available at his house, and by the time he died several years later, NBN was still not available either.
