-
Dale Monteith (@dgmonty16) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra Thanks Reggie its been a couple of times and it’s difficult to convey gravity of problem by messaging. More recently it related to a scam and I had to ask that I not be handed to someone else as it was in their area…meant having to retype the message. Speaking to someone better
-
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.
-
𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚛𝚕𝚘.𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚌e (@stirlospace) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@cameronwilson Also v handy for checking “does X network actually provide service where I’m at /. Work or live?” Without having to sign a contract or >1 month typically. Where I’m at in aus Telstra and Vodafone seem to be the best combo, Optus just does NOT work. At all, YMMV etc
-
Ayelbee (@ayelbee1) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaGood Grief Gladys has a new job with Optus. Think I should move to Telstra...if only they weren't so terrible
-
Paul (@MervtheMonster) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@PhilipBouchier @Terrytoo69 Telstra has always been crap . NBN is crap ! So many better high speed networks should have been optic fibre start to finish ! Bring back PMG things worked back then!
-
Michael Jessopp (@ppossej) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaHuh. 13 years on Twitter. I only joined up to test a Telstra Mobile service that joined your social networks together ... and you could tweet by sending SMS to a Telstra Mobile short code. Crazy days.
-
Brian Humphries (@rocky1622) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@peters_malcolm He sold everything Telstra and let gas go for nothing and stupid media call him good treasurer which bull ****
-
Nikki Clare (@Niksterisms) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaHey Tweeps, is anyone who has the iPhone 14 Pro having issues with the phone taking forever to load things when it’s on wifi? Is it a 5G drama or is this just a Telstra thing?
-
Eileen Ormsby (@EileenOrmsby) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra Hey, #telstra why ask to DM if all you’re going to do is tell me to message the app? Why not say it here? The app is an abyss of endless requests to repeat the steps that didn’t work the first 50 times, before fading away without a resolution
-
brooksieg (@brooksieg) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@telstra showing home internet outage until Wednesday for Kew, VIC. And supposed 4G backup modem not worth two bob. Seriously, third world service, perhaps not even that good.
-
Kate (@Kate_B_Melb) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@beourmate can we have an update please for those in Melbourne who don’t have Facebook. I’m generally a bit of a doormat but even I am frustrated and grouchy and upset. 1st world problems and all that - but there is really no excuse in 2023. Can’t you piggyback off Telstra??
-
Danial Smith (@daniel2509) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra Thanks, but if the Samsung store is unable to resolve this issue in their store I don't think Telstra can. I will continue my discussions with Samsung and hopefully get a refund on this S22 and go back to an iPhone.
-
Tim (@TimothyJ_23) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaHey @telstra and @aamipark can u guys put your heads together and sort out reception load issues during events here? Optus and Vodafone seem fine. Telstra not so.
-
Melissa Begg (@melsybegg) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@ShudderANZ are there any plans for your service to be available on Telstra TV? I'm subscribed already but that would have me watching Shudder so much more often!
-
Thanks for coming (@VeteranDave) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaAsking for @telstra help from my Twitter friends. I wasted 3 hours with their help service on Friday. Cannot view Kayo footy because download speed is too slow. Recent occurrences. My question. HTF do you get someone to come to your house and fix it? Is that still possible? 😡
-
Michael Carmody (@EmJaeCaer) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@_KelloKitty Go belong. Pay more. Telstra has best mobile network. It’s not even a contest. And I HATe telstra in other areas so much.
-
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.
-
Stacey Murray (@Stacey_Murray_) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra Telstra has confirmed via phone that closest tower is offline. We have no internet in any form at all. Would like to know when it will be reinstated. Your website is not showing the outage.
-
vito m (@vitomattvm) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaHey @Telstra @Foxtel the communication between the two of you & the ability to resolve an issue is awful. Upgrading a Foxtel box should not be this complicated. Into the 3rd hour now….
-
Sheeds (@Sheeds_au) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaCouldn'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

Kai (@kai_h) reported@no1historychick Telstra are never going to move you to a new plan unless you ask, especially when the newer plans are cheaper and have more data.

-
Uptimus (@UptimusApp) reportedAug 06, 2026 at 01:45 UTC: Uptimus is currently monitoring Telstra stability. Reports have returned to normal levels, and we are verifying system performance before resolving.

.𖥔 Si 🇿🇼 (@euphoriacdbaby) reportedif you’re considering a mobile/internet service provider, stay away from @Telstra. their customer service is the worst i’ve experienced anywhere and the service itself is ****. Does anyone know how to get out of a plan without buying out? I’ve actually had enough.
-
Stu (@StuartFromAus) reported@dan_const @AFL @Telstra William dropped off towards the end if the season. Also had one of his worst games in a rare prime time game in Vic, I knew it was done after that.
-
Kevin Chen (@Defiantclient2) reported@TheodorusAtheos @Telstra @Starlink Have you seen anything that indicates signal strength for AST? I imagine it's in the range of -90 to -100 dBm, or better.
-
bitterboy (@twistedandbitte) reported@Telstra What a bloody disgrace you are Telstra. Heard back from the person the complaint went to. Their response was instead of discussing the issue bluntly told us that given they have called us the case is now closed. Never discussed anything refused to discuss anything.
-
Brent Hodgson (@BrentHodgson) reported@DHughesy No. Only an idiot would agree - because they'd be wrong. 1. It's not worth "over $300 billion". The $64 billion dollar investment is worth $269 billion 2. If you're using the "over 300 billion" figure ($337.2 billion) that figure means your "no future Fed Govt put one cent into it" bit is incorrect because this figure includes MULTIPLE additional multi-billion dollar funds added to the Future Fund's management portfolio. 3. The future fund wasn't built on some kind of free money windfall... The $64 billion invested came primarily from the Telstra sale. The Telstra sale meant the copper network was privatised, leading to Telstra putting shareholders first in refusing to bid on optic fibre rollouts. This meant the government has so far spent around $64 billion ($70bn by the end of the decade) to re-create Telstra's infrastructure under NBN Co. Meanwhile Telstra has paid $65-80bn in dividends since privatisation moved those dividends from public to private hands. So for every $1 we gained from the Telstra sale, we missed another $1 in dividends and spent another $1 in replacing the infrastructure we sold. Had a publicly-owned Telstra built the NBN out of dividends, and the government raised $64bn in debt to invest in a Future Fund, the books would look exactly the same as they do today. You've been dazzled by accounting tricks - following a magician's misdirection, and calling it "magic". 4. "negating the trillion plus debts... to some degree" is bullshit... It was created to cover DECADES worth of unpaid public service and military retirement benefits. Those debts amount to $322 billion, to be paid out of (currently) $269 billion in funds - leaving a $53 billion dollar black hole. Had the money been paid to super in a timely fashion (rather than the Future Fund being set up to cover unpaid pension debts), that $322 billion in benefits would be sitting in private super accounts right now. Again, you're dazzled by an accountant's magic tricks. Not free money - not "negating debts" - just a big government-owned super fund. "Can we all agree it was amazing when the magician sawed that woman in half! He should be a surgeon!"

Tim (@TimothyJ_23) reported@Telstra Nope just complete loss of 5G. I guess the venue is in East Perth so it's probably that. Any ETA on fix? Seems sporadic

Bighead1883 @henrykklemens.bsky.social (@Biggy1883again) reportedHello @Telstra , why are we yet again experiencing very slow internet on our mobile phones in Laverton Western Australia? Do a proper upgrade to counter the 500+ FIFO`s in town every day. Also as soon as schools out the speed reduces exponentially.
