    @Telstra I'm not a Telstra customer but ultimately Telstra owns the lines and every tech I've spoken to blames you that's it end o story

  • Natski82

    @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

  • hutcho66
    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.

    @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

    @Telstra There is no way to contact, the case manager directly. I called up customer service a few times, they left a note in the case for the case manager to call back. But no response.

    @MattThomas1405 I feel your pain. I once had an issue with Telstra that meant we ended up with no internet. After 3 months of useless advice and zero help from them I ended up diagnosing & fixing the problem myself. I now try and avoid dealing with them at all…

    @NBN_Australia @Telstra Ended up being a <12 hour outage instead of 4 days. 🥳

    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. 😱

  • lousanti
    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!

  • Stanleysmum1
    Stanleysmum (Sharon) (@Stanleysmum1) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @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

  • sthmel
    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.

  • _TimMcMahon
    Tim McMahon (@_TimMcMahon) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @vertikar @NBN_Australia @Telstra Yeah, 4G. No 5G coverage in this part of Melbourne. I wish I didn't have to use a SIM from another telco to get 20+ Mbps. Telstra 4G backup is about 0.16 Mbps down with a Smart Modem. We just tether phones during work hours for video calls or sharing would be too slow.

  • asteroidproject
    Damian Marley 🚀 (@asteroidproject) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    Did you know: If you’re with @Telstra and you have multiple mobile phones in your household, with contracts signed on different dates, you get direct debited for each service on different days? It’s confusing, inconvenient and dumb, and Telstra don’t care.

  • rocky1622
    Brian Humphries (@rocky1622) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    There’s customer service at Telstra anymore people should not have book

  • _TimMcMahon
    Tim McMahon (@_TimMcMahon) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    4G backup is a joke. 0.16 Mbps down and 0.55 Mbps up. HFC is a joke. Don't tell me infrastructure is failing during summer because it's 27C and 20-30 year old equipment is dying. 💀 Paying a premium for this. 😬 @Telstra

  • Piiiiickles
    Pickles (@Piiiiickles) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @Telstra I have mobile data… but it’s not enough to do what we can normally do. We rely on consistent service to be able to work at home. We had no warning. We are paying for both mobile and home internet, yet getting less than half the service. Outage map comes up negative for our area.

    Sheeds (@Sheeds_au) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    Couldn't help misreading that @Telstra ad painted on the ground as "Australia is Why..T". Like when your eyes go the wrong way on a comic. Unfortunate visual oops. #NRLGF

    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…

    Aussies need Starlink, it is far faster, more reliable and more secure than the Telstra backbone - which FYI is open access to bad actor hackers who get into your PC via INSECURE modem design.

    @TheNoisyTrunk @SenatorSeanBell This numpty claimed that the DV policy at Telstra was "anti male".... in a Senae Hearing. A policy to protect women from violent men using a carriage service to abuse and intimidate !

  • TheFightingRoo
    The Fighting Roo (@TheFightingRoo) reported

    Telstra’s service for 5G is that slow in North Melbourne it makes modern tech useless. I have 2 bars & 4g speed. @Telstra you are a garbage service nowadays.

  • too_good1
    Kim B (@too_good1) reported

    @Telstra what’s going on with internet in area code 2640?? It’s been up & down constantly since Wednesday.. 8 times dropping out. Is it inland rail causing the issue??? We are close to train station.. call centre is no help!

  • eevblog
    Dave Jones (@eevblog) reported

    @asphotos Science isn't going to help when the system is clogged because the NBN is down and many thousands of people are trying to find workarounds. Telstra in the park has collapsed, and Optus is struggling.

  • danny_v8
    Danny (@danny_v8) reported

    @bek_lenin @MmeMaigret1 @ashman_the Keating/Hawke began the sell off. Commonwealth Bank, Telstra etc. Costello/Howard continued with it. Just as bad as each other. Rudd with his ‘stimulus cheques’ got us into debt which has spiralled to today’s numbers.

    @ElManuSantander Wait, technicolor? The same company that makes the garbage Telstra smart routers?

  • deirdreritchi10
    deirdre ritchie (@deirdreritchi10) reported

    Weird. Just got a message from Telstra saying that tomorrow there is going to be an interruption to my home internet service for up to 5h 59m. Why didn't they just say 6 hours? Bizarre.

    @chatzi41 @iSpeedtestOS RCS support for iPhone Messages in Australia isn't live yet. Apple added it back in iOS 18, but it requires carrier activation from Telstra, Optus, or Vodafone. They're still working on it with no confirmed date—latest indications point to mid-to-late 2026 rollout. Contact your carrier for the latest.
