-
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?
-
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!
-
Sam (@CTRL_ALT_DEL) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaI never expect much from @telstra support, but the service is next level unhelpful. I just got told by a support member it’s my fault that Telstra has been billing me twice for internet every month for what looks nearly a year.

Johnny (@JohnnyLydon) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaThis is my 5th message this year advising nbn co is doing running repairs on the lnp’s botched nbn. “Hi from Telstra. NBN Co are performing network updates in your area on 3 June 2022. Your internet service may be interrupted” - meantime it’s buffering & disconnects galore
-
Nikki Clare (@Niksterisms) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@maesy5 @Telstra Yep! 100% I don’t even bother anymore. It’s frustrating and such a waste of time. Apparently it dropping out consistently is no issue. I think we’ve all been taken for a ride on this.
-
Dave (@davesayys) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@anderlols Check out Boost Mobile, they run on the full Telstra network
-
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….
-
Daniel Matthews (@DanRobMat) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra is there an outage in Brooklyn Vic? No internet or phones at work
-

***** Melo (@guidomelo1) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra I have a landline in Melbourne 3000 that does not work at all. I have the same number since 2005. It stop working for 1 month now. We are a small business and our clients can’t contact us. Business is hard and we are abandoned out here @cityofmelbourne please help?
-
Clare Murphy (@ClareAliceMurph) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaAnyone else hit by a @Telstra outage? My home internet’s been down since yesterday afternoon and there’s been no notification or estimate of when it will be restored. It’s also not showing up in the Telstra outage checker.

BILLY FOSTER PHOTOGRAPHY (@BillyFosterPics) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaAfter 6 weeks of hell dealing with @telstra to swap from #foxtel to #telstra for our internet we were “absolutely promise” the service would commence last night. Rebooted modems this morning, guess what, still no Telstra 😡 - Your OS Callcentres are a joke. #australia
-
Tim (@TimothyJ_23) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra I understand all that. I'd just think if the issue happens on telstra devices and not those on other networks maybe it's something to discuss with the venue. I know telcos work with venues on capacity boosting infrastructure hence my suggestion ☺

Declan Martin (@declanmartin75) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Aerohaveno @Telstra Never ending these days
-
Vision 🍌 (@TheVision_13) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaThe Telstra logo on the 50 looks so bad, really doesn’t need the blue background
-
Tim McMahon (@_TimMcMahon) reported from Melbourne, Victoria4G 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
-
Crowded_Howes ☣️ (@RJ_Howes) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaI have rarely received scam calls. Interesting I am now getting multiple a day. Scam: I am calling about your Telstra internet. (I am with @Optus: not a recommendation btw) Rob: Did you say 'Telstar'? Scam: Telstra. It's an internet service provider. Rob: Oh is it?

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? 😡

At least my dog loves me ❤️🐕👩🏻🦰 (@Tawnee69) reported@goldengreekjr @AshPolitik As PM, John Howard spearheaded a major privatization program, selling $71.8 billion in government assets between 1996 & 2007 to pay down national debt. Significant holdings sold included a majority stake in Telstra, shares in airports, shipping lines, and defence-related industry
-
Natasha (@Natasha19317558) reported@AlanBixter I’m not a hater but I can’t decide if I hate Medibank Private or Telstra / NBN more? Telstra / NBN sent 15 techies to fix our Internet problem & many phone calls all while our kids doing Uni exams & 1 wtg for cardiac surgery. Stress ++ Good luck Alan coz you’ll need it 🙏
-
Vernon Deer (@D64861Deer) reported@Totally4yeah @Tank9999 I have bottle gas for cooking & a wood fire stove (about 80yrs old) for cooking and heating in winter and a wood heater, evap cooling and use town water. Even the batteries are secondhand, most from Telstra swap-outs. Have had 1 battery fail in 25 years.
-
mary blackman (@39loulou) reported@blowingtom2 @JohnAndersonAC Name calling, so early in the discussion. Do you remember how Howard sold off our Gold in the dip? D’ya know how much that would be worth in today’s $$. Did you know they also sold off Comm Bank & Telstra to cover baby bonus cheques and utes? Research Howard worst PM ever#auspol
-
Dave Jones (@eevblog) reportedNow tweeting from my lab machine again with very basic Optus 5G internet. Will have to upload video and stuff from home, but otherwise I'm kinda functional again. No idea when NBN/Telstra will restore the connection, it's been 3 days already so I assume it's very bad. Today is Sunday and tomorrow is another public holiday.
-
TK (@Teexmachine) reported@Telstra @bruzo2 Bruce, just get starlink mate, just as cheap and you have zero issues
-
Philippa Smith (@PhilippaASmith) reported@Lindajwil @Telstra Sorry to hear you are experiencing issues Linda. Organisations have so little consideration for customers and it is unacceptable when, like you, they are having to deal with so much.

Salt N pepper 🌶️ (@Partytime63) reported@MarkAClarkson @Telstra May be blackout your mobile number to avoid people using it for wrong reasons

Unique Images Australia (@UniqueImagesAus) reported@BassonBrain @Jessdistrict11 @SpaceX I live 10km from the ocean, between two major cities. No phone signal in many many locations on our major highways. Cannot send a text while talking on the phone. I have two Telstra numbers, highest cost plan. Without Starlink mini mounted in everyone of our commercial cars, no comms. Australia has no world class highway connecting cities. Has no coastal phone network or fast internet. It’s 2026 and I though I would be in a flying car, reality is I cannot make a call and text simultaneously.

Far Canal 😏 (@FarCanall) reportedReally unsure, but I’ve seen the same sort of buffoons rise to the top at Aust Post, Telstra, etc. The phrase “**** floats to the Top” is pretty common in Govt Industies. Good thing is, once they get there, their incompetence is exposed for all to see. Nowhere to hide.
