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

  • ClareAliceMurph Clare Murphy (@ClareAliceMurph) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    After 45 minutes, the only option to fix an unusable @iPrimusAU connection is to switch to a Huawei modem 🚫 or pay a $181 early disconnection fee. Technician trying to tell me that it’s my building that’s the problem, yet my new @Telstra connection has been working just fine 🤔

  • scruffymatt42 Matt Sutton (@scruffymatt42) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @AussiSassyGob Telstra are the worst.

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

    @Telstra It is still under investigation, my 4g backup is absolutley useless and this has to be the 20th outage this year. I do not want to spend hours on the phone trying to get compensated for this. I'm done. Telstra disgusts me from a moral perspective as well as service. I'm out.

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

    @Telstra No thanks. I have been through this process so many times before and it is way to painful. You have made so many Australian workers redundant, outsourced entire workforces and the quality of your product and service has suffered greatly. I'm out.

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

    @Telstra I have already opened an account with another company. I just needed to vent my frustrations with what remains of this once great Australian company. You made 3.6 Billion last year How about settle for 3.5bil and keep your Australian workforce and quality of service. Shame

  • paulieferrari Paulie Ferrari (@paulieferrari) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra really poor customer experience when it's now two weeks when I lodged a now missing complaint on why I started receiving unsolicited SMS marketing. Five calls by me, none from Telstra and poor record keeping #customerfail

  • dwilliamson931 David Williamson (@dwilliamson931) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    I had my mobile with Telstra but had reception issues at my house as it's an old tower the network uses. They wanted to install an antenna at my cost. I changed to Optus and no problems

  • mike_caridi Michael Caridi (@mike_caridi) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra I really need to speak to someone in Australia that can help me with billing and account issues. It’s been 2 weeks and I still can’t get this fixed. Contact centre is telling me this is impossible. No onshore contract exists. Surely you can help.

  • paulieferrari Paulie Ferrari (@paulieferrari) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra So being told by your colleagues tonight that there is in fact NO case manager assigned to this complaint. A simple callback to get an update is not boding well!

  • OliverNunis Oliver (@OliverNunis) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra After 6 calls, and promises after each of them a case manager would contact me within 48 hours, over the course of 3 months; I have now been on hold for a further 2 hours trying to get your billing mistake resolved. The worse customer service in Australia!

  • raaahbin R. Obocop (@raaahbin) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    holy **** have I not missed trying to talk to @Telstra. The voice-guided menu is absolutely atrocious.

  • I_SANATAN #Santu (@I_SANATAN) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    My mobile internet is braking down ..I tried calling the customer care but they keep on suggesting me basic trouble shooting tricks but it's not useful.. @Telstra

  • jfcwbrrr jf (@jfcwbrrr) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra 4G In TULLAMARINE is Very slow sometimes switching to 3G, Speedtest was at 21.2

  • lukasm Luke Meehan (@lukasm) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra They said two things: 1) they were the highest management I could speak to about my complaint. 2) I would get an email summary of what happened. I reckon number 1 is a lie and I know number 2 is a lie

  • dwilliamson931 David Williamson (@dwilliamson931) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    So Telstra had another internet outage. Perhaps it's time they employed more people instead of sacking over 2000 which the sharemarket applauded. As a shareholder in them I'd sooner see better customer service then higher dividends

  • BenBeech22 Ben Beech (@BenBeech22) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @martinud @AndyMaherDFA @Telstra At my work I get my guys to do that. Trying to get automation through apps, tracking etc like Uber. Unfortunately things can change though / emergency jobs get thrown in, delays on site. So never always straight forward

  • AndyMaherDFA Andy Maher (@AndyMaherDFA) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra Have spent hours already on the line to customer service staff. They’re follow up has been poor.

  • Leo__stevenson Leo Stevenson (@Leo__stevenson) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra Yeah it’s switched over. The 4G is woeful though. And I don’t want to wait until Wednesday for a fix

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

    @Telstra So I tweet because I have spent 2 hrs and 45 mins trying to get my internet connected and @Telstra has stuffed up so do.m you think I want to now spent more time with this. I would like and email option or I will our complaint in through alumini

  • martincreely Martin Creely (@martincreely) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

  • ALRurenga AL Rurenga (@ALRurenga) reported from Tumut, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra Hi Megan, I noticed a refund form re prepaid services to be completed by 20 October 2020, which takes 6 weeks or so to generate a cheque. Would you be able to find out how the prorata refund is computed & whether I will be able to keep my number of the iPhone. Thanks for yr help

  • bjlannen Benjamin Lannen (@bjlannen) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra Hi Matthew I'm an Optus customer so unsure if this will work. The guy who installed the NBN was from NBN / with a Telstra shirt

  • exploreeats99 Anthony Pham (@exploreeats99) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra Hey Telstra, I have issues with the NBN service that NBNco has told Telstra that it would be resolved by Friday. It’s Monday and I’m still not connected to the internet.

  • AKRacingAus AKRacing 🇦🇺 (@AKRacingAus) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    We are absolutely appalled with the service provided from the @Telstra business systems team. We’ve been charged for 9 months for a service we swapped over in dec 2019. 😞 We’ve been fed misinformation and promises that have not been kept! How can this be?

  • wheelyweb Joe Ortenzi 🇨🇦 🇮🇹 🇦🇺 (@wheelyweb) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Hey @Telstra how many time are you going to give me a different agent to ask me if I have uninstalled the app and reinstalled it? even after this case has very effectively concluded the issue exists in the browser as well and not just in the app.

  • LesleyDewarAU Lesley (Has Dragons at Home) Dewar (@LesleyDewarAU) reported from Busselton, State of Western Australia

    5 / timed out and I had to start again. 6. Telstra sent a message to my phone with the complaint number, and I have to install another app, which needs my Google password. It's lost and sends me a link to reset it, but to a bigpond account which I cannot access. It's crazy!!

  • wheelyweb Joe Ortenzi 🇨🇦 🇮🇹 🇦🇺 (@wheelyweb) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra Someone has answered the messages to the account you suggest and created a complaint that was not my complaint. At no point was I given a form to complete to detail my complaint in my own words. Once again. I wish to lodge a complaint, and in my own words.

  • AKRacingAus AKRacing 🇦🇺 (@AKRacingAus) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @The_JFD @Telstra Such poor form

  • LesleyDewarAU Lesley (Has Dragons at Home) Dewar (@LesleyDewarAU) reported from Busselton, State of Western Australia

    @FoxesTrader @Telstra Thank you. I know they are unrelated because Telstra has a national problem with big pond and has had for a month.

  • Cowboy_2526 Simon Jackson (@Cowboy_2526) reported from Gold Coast, State of Queensland

    @AndrewVossy @Telstra I’ve had no service at home since April, there constant rubbish excuses, want me to buy antenna for $1100, ombudsman now involved
