Telstra Issues Reports Near Melbourne, State of Victoria

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

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

    @Pamelanicholls6 @andrewofoz @JaneCaro @Telstra I do that too, using my phone as a hotspot. But that chews through the data allowance and they (in my case Optus) don't let you have extra phone data because the internet is down. They still charge $10 a Gb for extra usage over the monthly allowance.

  • 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.

  • m_triantafillou Maggie Triantafillou - Μαγδαληνή Τριανταφύλλου (@m_triantafillou) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra Yes, I’ve launched a complaint with the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman about this whole debacle. You nor anyone at Telstra, have still not given me an explanation as to why there was an outage for 4 days.

  • StepmeisterOz Snickers (@StepmeisterOz) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Well after 15 years it’s see ya @Optus & hello @Telstra I can’t believe in 2019 Optus cannot provide a 4G service in Prahran & they don’t have any plans to upgrade that black spot either. It baffles me. Oh well, a complaint to the TIO means I pay nothing to leave. #ByeFelicia

  • topher_1976 Chris (@topher_1976) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @UndaSthnXiStand @larry_blunders @OptusEnterprise Telstra has NOT started switching 3G off. They did turn their 2100MHz network off a few years ago, but the 850MHz network has not.

  • m_triantafillou Maggie Triantafillou - Μαγδαληνή Τριανταφύλλου (@m_triantafillou) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    6+ hours of working on assessments because the home cable internet had an outage for four and a half days. I’m absolutely wrecked. Thanks @Telstra.

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

    @telstra are having issues in Melbourne CBD/East Melb. My iPhone says 4G but I can’t get any coverage.

  • m_triantafillou Maggie Triantafillou - Μαγδαληνή Τριανταφύλλου (@m_triantafillou) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Hey @Telstra I’ve been given the run-around about this outage in my area, Preston Vic. We’ve had no internet since Friday, it was scheduled to be resolved by 7pm tonight. This isn’t good enough. I’ve gone over my mobile data limit twice as I’ve had to do assessments for uni.

  • ajphelo Andrew J Phelan (@ajphelo) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @JaneCaro @Telstra I reckon if you wanted to win the election and you promised to fix the telcos you’d be a shoe in!

  • 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

  • coachbear mikey (@coachbear) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra nope no outage, still one bar

  • 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

  • m_triantafillou Maggie Triantafillou - Μαγδαληνή Τριανταφύλλου (@m_triantafillou) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra I tried this to no avail! My internet is not working. I’d like to know if there’s an outage in Preston, Vic. So that I can rule it out if there’s not one and send for a technician.

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

    My @AFL mobile broadcast from @Telstra is terrible tonight. Image freezes every two seconds.

  • 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.

  • m_triantafillou Maggie Triantafillou - Μαγδαληνή Τριανταφύλλου (@m_triantafillou) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Huw_Merlin @Telstra Yeah ADSL. There’s apparently an outage and it won’t be solved before 7pm tomorrow.

  • daytime2day daytime2day (@daytime2day) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra NBN outage. It’s been like that since 9pm last night

  • 6r3tt Brett (@6r3tt) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @andy_penn Telstra are just *************** now - wasted 4 hours of my day waiting for a BOOKED appointment and just got a call saying technician won’t arrive cos he has another priority. 2 hours to drive here to be here by 8am as requested by you- rude bastards #TelstraSuck

  • dgoodlad Mr. David “Esky” Goodlad (@dgoodlad) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra There’s no update just a ticket to escalate in the morning. Still no acknowledgement of a broader outage despite neighbors with the same problem.

  • 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.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • cloudcitizen Graham Lauren (@cloudcitizen) reported

    @Telstra @andy_penn @whirlpoolnetau When, Sophie, will #Telstra’s utterly gormless social media staff realise that I am so unhappy with its responses precisely BECAUSE its technical people can’t fix my account login problem for weeks now? AVOID giving money to #Telstra

  • migo_83 Migo (@migo_83) reported

    @Telstra I’ve been having the worst experience with you guys, I simply just want my eSim to work and want my medium plan to be activated, it has been a painful 8-9 hours with your gold member chat support to get this sorted. The worst CS I’ve dealt with in my entire life.

  • LottyRichards Loretta Richards (@LottyRichards) reported

    Sad times, phone ported, thousands of dollars stolen - according to Telstra Yeppoon this is all down to a #Telstra breach of security allowing a fraudster to move a number onto a pre pay sim and then accessing details from there. #Telstra we need confirmation account is secure

  • electricfuture5 Electric Future 🇦🇺 🚗⚡☀️ (@electricfuture5) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @telstra totally useless. Can’t transfer my esim to another phone because it’s stuck provisioning. Now stuck with no service

  • cloudcitizen Graham Lauren (@cloudcitizen) reported

    @Telstra @andy_penn @whirlpoolnetau After 10 years with #Telstra as a business customer, my anger with Telstra won’t go. Another fool now insists I divulge personal information so “we can get started on sorting this out for you. - Sophie.” AVOID #Telstra, whatever you do.

  • RossSymons Ross Symons (@RossSymons) reported

    @Telstra I was too fast to give credit to @telstra - four weeks on and the service is still stuffed, no ETA on being able to sort it - they can't even tell me what the problem is that they are trying to solve, only that it's not a physical problem - it's paperwork!

  • gpdawson Graham Dawson (@gpdawson) reported

    Ha ha ha! Telstra stores are all closed due to covid. I’ll need to get a QR code physically mailed to me. What with AusPost being extremely slow, it could easily be a week or more before I can actually use the new phone. 🥳

  • elendegenerous Thereallendegeneres (@elendegenerous) reported

    @senojretep1 @Telstra Yeah, what if they actually did do their own research, and you're the ******** that didn't? ****, what a ****. I would feel like such a ****. :)

  • thomerz24 Thomas Lim 林汉文 (@thomerz24) reported

    @laowhiner86 @BernardGyorgy Telstra, because they got the biggest pie of the network

  • terada_yuji Yuji Terada (@terada_yuji) reported

    Telstra’s internet is down in Chatswood and I pay 110 dollars for this crappy internet… Where’s my Starlink.
