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….
-
Tim McMahon (@_TimMcMahon) reported from Melbourne, Victoria6.32 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. 😱

-
Marc Christie (@Marc1983x) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaHey @Telstra is there an issue with crossed lines or something on the 4g network?
-
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.
-
Tony Margaritis (@sthmel) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra There are over 15-20 Telstra phones here and everyone having the same issues, just send someone to the phone tower and unplug and plug back in, it needs a reboot, trust me, I’m a limo driver.
-
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.
-
BILLY FOSTER PHOTOGRAPHY (@BillyFosterPics) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Teltsra @Telstra I’ve been put on hold seven separate times by seven different departments. Each time I’ve had to start from scratch and explain what’s happening over and over again. The customer service, and the language problems is absolutely abysmal.
-
Daniel Matthews (@DanRobMat) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra is there an outage in Brooklyn Vic? No internet or phones at work
-
Dale Monteith (@dgmonty16) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@debbie_prest Try talking to any one in person at Telstra. All by messaging system and go round and round where you are referred to someone else and you have to repeat why you need help. Talk about backward step and shocking customer service
-
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.
-
vito m (@vitomattvm) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra Confusion over Telstra/Foxtel responsibility is an issue. When instructed to call Telstra by Foxtel, the T rep put me on hold “to look into it” & suddenly I found myself transferred to a F rep, more confused than I was. Why is this all so unnecessarily complicated?
-
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 ****
-
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.
-
✨ Miss Natski ✨ (@Natski82) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Jane_L_Kennedy @Telstra And of course he believed it, afterall, the people at telstra told him the NBN called. 6 hours they kept him on the phone and ended up costing my dad $19,000. Absolutely ridiculous and when he called telstra, they didn't give a ****. Switched to optus. Safer /3
-
Tony Margaritis (@sthmel) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra Quinn, it’s New Year’s Eve, cut me some slack, you are asking me to go to some other get help chat section? For what? I’ve done my bit. I am notifying Telstra that Brighton has practically no data, deal with it, we pay premium prices for this crap. HNY 🎇
-
Tim McMahon (@_TimMcMahon) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaTelstra 4G backup speed is 0.16 Mbps (down) in the Smart Modem. 💀 6.32 Mbps (down) when I use a SIM card from another telco in the modem. 🧐 Smart Modem with 4G backup is so slowwwww 🐌 @Telstra
-
Johnny (@JohnnyLydon) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@JoshFrydenberg A 2 year wait & 2 years on we get worse internet in Balwyn Nth (Kooyong) under your nbn than previous adsl with regular messages like this “Hi, We have added additional data to your Telstra Smart Modem back up to keep you connected while we fix your NBN service”
-
Pamela (@PamelaD888) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Optus get your act together and please fix your internet outage! I can’t keep having not service for period of time!!! It has been weeks since internet keep cutting out daily and constantly within 10 minutes! People cannot work or study like this!! Maybe time to look at @Telstra

Ian Linklater (@IanLinklater5) reported@Telstra Now about your accountability . How do I contact my service provider when you have shut down my ability to contact anyone ? I have been shut down since early am and is now late afternoon . Tuesday 28th of July. This is Bull **** service !
-
Big Clarence (@clarencebrah) reportedI’m sorry but in 2012 I paid $350 or so to attend two Soundwaves and saw System of a Down amongst like 15 other good bands I’m not paying $300 to sit in the back row on level 3 of the Telstra Dome surrounded my people who discovered nu metal ten minutes ago. I’ve been waiting 14 years to see SOAD again but that is taking the absolute piss.
-
Simon Cotter (@SimonCotter62) reported@goodfoodgal It was all about the money/share prices and to test our compliance. We passed with flying colours (most of us) We now add the national telstra emergency alert to QR codes, cameras etc and then all we need is a social score system. “ none shall buy or sell except with the mark”
-
𝗴 𝗹 𝗼 𝘄 (@glowwxx) reported@Aussie_Dad5 @Zhshshdjsjsjs You’re so retarded it’s embarrassing. The fact you think turning your phone off means they can’t collect your data shows your IQ. 1. Turning off your phone isn’t turning off your phone it pings to a cell tower constantly. Most phones go into a “deep sleep” mode in which where gps, microphone and network are still active 2. If they wanted to collect data they wouldn’t need an alert to do it. They would just go to Optus and Telstra, give them your number and get everything they want. Or just ask Apple or google to comply.

Uptimus (@UptimusApp) reportedAug 6, 2026 at 02:10 UTC: Recovery monitoring for Telstra has been interrupted as community reports of slow performance and downtime have increased again. Investigation is ongoing.
-
GainsMax (@GainsMax168031) reportedThe rapidly advancing Starlink system should scare any Australian Telco. I hope the Telstra monopoly on the market gets broken up to the point that they're forced to lower prices. The service we get for Telstra, considering how much we pay is a joke. Any company that moves its operations overseas purely because labour is cheaper deserves to be outcompeted by companies that actually invest in local jobs, innovation, and customer service. If your entire business model relies on cutting wages instead of building a better product, don't be surprised when someone with better technology comes along and makes you irrelevant. Consumers shouldn't be expected to pay premium prices for declining service while executives celebrate another cost cutting exercise.

me (@Worthbeing) reportedTelstra what a joke , you are can’t receive anything , very poor reception on my Night Hawk again and again, something I have paid lots for, I get better reception in Far North Queensland than I do in STH Durras, just south of Sydney, what a disgrace #telstra #newspol #poortelstrarecption. Again!!!
-
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
-
KateM (@KateMSce) reportedMelbourne, Aust: Has anybody else who is with Telstra (or Boost or ALDI mobile, etc) had calls going silent mid call and having to hang up and call again? Only started yesterday. Not just me .. two other people I know. Have lodged a complaint with @Telstra and waiting.
-
@ag6le.bsky.social Julian (@AG6LE) reported@ChinaSelect @RepMoolenaar .@Telstra rebadge their phones, and they are junk. They refused to replace my A5 (2017) (the TIO made them give me 6 month credit to compensate after they shut down 3G/NextG). Vodafone gave me an A17 to replace it,after I was using it as a modem.
