  • KateMurdoch3 Kate Murdoch (@KateMurdoch3) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @NBN_Australia Yes, we’ve had technicians coming for 1.5 years and little progress. I’ve been told need to organise through Telstra but they have no customer service atm. Outside work done, but can’t seem to connect to house.

  • cliff311069 Cliff (@cliff311069) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra how are you meant to reset a message bank pin, online support won’t do it, you talk to anyone on the phone, and we are in full lockdown so are not meant to go to stores

  • chrismca88 Chris McAlinden (@chrismca88) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Hi @Telstra Appreciate these are different and difficult times, but I really need to talk to a person re; management of both my accounts Tried calling multiple times, I keep getting cut off and sent a text message for “self-help” tools on your website Can somebody contact me?

    @Telstra Please help, internet has been down for over two hours. Only two white lights on top of modem, which should be green. Getting no response from your Chat Support.

  • m3ad0ws 𝐀𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐧 🔴🏆 (@m3ad0ws) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra Never down just extremely slow speeds for up to 48 hours

  • KateMurdoch3 Kate Murdoch (@KateMurdoch3) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @clairegcoleman @NBN_Australia I’m astounded you’re getting any NBN service at all. I can only go through Telstra for it, and they’re not answering calls for the foreseeable.

  • JBPooket PrincessPooket (@JBPooket) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @CaseyBriggs It's a switchboard problem I understand. Hospitals have the same problem. Telstra.

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

    @Telstra you are a disgraceful disappointment to customer service. #fail I’ve just spent 5 days trying to get my #nbn connection resolved and your people in the app keep closing the chat window and passing me to another person. Utter rubbish #telstrafail

  • jaejtee jords (@jaejtee) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra NBN team have now confirmed no order was sent by Telstra to them on their records for my address - extremely terrible service from Telstra again, wouldn’t have even known if I hadn’t asked

  • grimaud_john John Grimaud 🇦🇺⚽️ (@grimaud_john) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    After all of yesterday’s frustration, today I was put in touch with Simon from Telstra Platinum who sorted out all of my issues which were very complex. It took time but I just want to say 🙏🏼 Simon for your time. A very happy ending @Telstra

  • mattylalor Matt Lalor (@mattylalor) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra I have a compromised email account. The My Telstra app says to call 132200. The telephone number says to download the My Telstra app. So I am stuck in a loop and can’t get it resolved Please help

  • DiYaqSar Diana (@DiYaqSar) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra you’ve been trying to reconnect my service since yesterday and I still have no internet. This is not good enough when I pay you $90 a month. I need my service reconnected ASAP!

  • grimaud_john John Grimaud 🇦🇺⚽️ (@grimaud_john) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    I’ve been on hold to @Telstra Platinum for over 1hr 45mins & still no sign of any service. Sometimes Covid 19 is a very convenient excuse. #notgoodenough

  • maartenijzerman Maarten IJzerman (@maartenijzerman) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra how long do I have to wait for my NBN internet? Ordered early February, spent at least 10 hours on the phone with 8 service agents, have been using the smart app since 17 June to chat with >15 agents, receive bills for Premium internet and all I get is <0.1 mbps...

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • zjhwitch ZoeJH 👁️ (@zjhwitch) reported

    For once in my life, I am glad I have stuck with telstra & have never had an account with optus for anything. Also, as former sysadmin who worked at tech security companies, I most sincerely hope Optus is thoroughly hammered into the ground AND others learn from watching it.

  • iamalbyg Al Garlando (@iamalbyg) reported

    @TheShovel The hacker arrived on the Ruby Princess for which Optus is not responsible. This is clearly a Telstra issue.

  • Deb_Champion 𝓓𝓮𝓫 𝓓𝓮𝓫 (@Deb_Champion) reported

    @GavinWakeupint1 @WendyKeech1 The people in the telstra shop were probably there to complain about appalling service

  • chadnotweet Shiellsy (@chadnotweet) reported

    Got my message today to say my info has been hacked by Optus…. The fact I have no money & already a house loan means they ain’t getting anything but it does mean when my contract with Optus is up in November we will be moving to Telstra that’s for damn sure.

  • kzome77 katzome77 (@kzome77) reported

    @Telstra @Optus Do you know that Iran has blocked Internet, restricting Iranians outside the country to communicate with their family? What we Iranian need is to have access to free calls to Iran untill our comms issue is resolved. #MahsaAmini #مهساامینی

  • dani_giuls Dani (@dani_giuls) reported

    @1974keg @3AW693 I’m with Aldi (uses Telstra network) I haven’t been able to access data off wifi for a week. Apparently there’s an issue in Melbourne CBD and Telstra’s website just says restoration time is tbc over a week and still tbc!

  • Nasir_31 Nas (@Nasir_31) reported

    @Telstra So I called yesterday to cancel my Telstra 5g home internet since im moving to a new address and it doesn't have 5g home internet. I asked them to cancel on the 2nd OCT and within 2 hours they cancelled the service. WTF Telstra

  • combermere123 combermere123 (@combermere123) reported

    @ElysseMorgan @Telstra must not think it can not happen to us/me, I am a lowly customer, companies think cybersecurity is a cost burden & a customer's data is a personal responsibility. cc @Optus

  • GrandPo39236565 Grand Poobah (@GrandPo39236565) reported

    @RichardKGrump @TPG_Telecom Still using Telstra infrastructure, but it would be nice to get some service for a change.

  • LeaDigitalS Lea's Digital Services 🔞 📦🤳👻 (@LeaDigitalS) reported

    UPDATE: 3 of my accounts were effected @ptus has given me some code to palm me off to some financial watchdog company And they refused to replace my SIM cards so I'll have to replace all that @ cost to myself. Hey @Telstra want another customer?
