  • grimaud_john John Grimaud 🇦🇺⚽️ (@grimaud_john) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    I’ve been on hold to @Telstra Platinum for over 1hr 45mins & still no sign of any service. Sometimes Covid 19 is a very convenient excuse. #notgoodenough

  • craig_longislnd Craig A Delaney (@craig_longislnd) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

  • SamJanda 👨‍💻 (@SamJanda) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra please fix #TelstraAir - I have not been able to access it from a Windows device for as long as I can remember.

  • davmoro David Morison (@davmoro) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra sorry if I could get enough signal in Cranbourne east to report a fault I would. Intermittent mobile data, phones running on 3G... Australia’s best phone network... far from it at the moment

  • SapereAudeRuss Russell Hopkins (@SapereAudeRuss) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Hi @Telstra we returned a @Foxtel box via post months ago as requested and keep getting letters requesting payment. Unable to contact anybody by phone / email to have this escalated. Naturally we are very concerned at the lack of service. Please help!

  • maartenijzerman Maarten IJzerman (@maartenijzerman) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra how long do I have to wait for my NBN internet? Ordered early February, spent at least 10 hours on the phone with 8 service agents, have been using the smart app since 17 June to chat with >15 agents, receive bills for Premium internet and all I get is <0.1 mbps...

  • cliff311069 Cliff (@cliff311069) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra how are you meant to reset a message bank pin, online support won’t do it, you talk to anyone on the phone, and we are in full lockdown so are not meant to go to stores

  • sesameellis Rachel Devine (@sesameellis) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Mumdeep @Telstra Serving an ad under a neglected request for assistance from a customer. They haven't won my business.

  • craig_longislnd Craig A Delaney (@craig_longislnd) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra1 hr 25 mins later someones finally answers ..... Telstra says yes this problem is "TRENDING" at the moment.... weve despatched level 2 technicians escalated to deal with it..almost a day later.....well my frustration with Telstra is also trending!!

  • mattylalor Matt Lalor (@mattylalor) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

  • CraftBeerJay Craft Beer Jay (@CraftBeerJay) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra Please help, internet has been down for over two hours. Only two white lights on top of modem, which should be green. Getting no response from your Chat Support.

  • seawazzacazza SeA Wazza Cazza (@seawazzacazza) reported

    @hughriminton @vanOnselenP Howard and Costello legacy is selling Telstra and Labor creating the NBN to fix the lack of investment by the private sector in the network.

  • Montecscoot Christopher Skjoedt (@Montecscoot) reported

    Went with Optus instead. Connected a few days after I signed up to a plan vs Telstra that disconnected me before the date in the contract and never got around to connecting me up in the new house. Have had no problems either.

  • lightz4d lightz (@lightz4d) reported

    lowkey wanna go return my single sim phone and get a dual sim so when either optus or telstra is ****** and it takes 3 weeks to fix i have either to fall back on (all provoked by having no mobile data/no sms for 3 weeks)

  • wpakalu Wilson Pakalu (@wpakalu) reported

    @yeoldeguildford I’ve also parted ways with Telstra- despite numerous requests to upgrade 4G network at Lake Callide, Valentine Plains, didn’t get a good response. I’m with @Optus and enjoying every bit of it. @Telstra is hopeless.

  • oprsdtelstrausr oppressed telstra customer (@oprsdtelstrausr) reported

    up with the 5am crew don’t let us down @Telstra !!

  • VacuousNess 💧 Vacuous the vaccinated. (@VacuousNess) reported

    @WestnetAU Well that could be a tad difficult When you’re threatening to cut off the emails we are paying you for….. which weren’t used to send invoices. Also - we prefer paper and WE are the customer. How about Australian Telco’s start putting customers 1st. @Telstra #auspol

  • lmnohyes 𝐌𝐫 𝐋𝐲𝐧 𝐍𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥 (@lmnohyes) reported

    @Telstra has the most infuriating support interface. I get messages to contact about ongoing fault. Every time, a BOT asks me what I want. Clunky irritating process.

  • pfbt Marquis d'Killara (@pfbt) reported

    @timdy If Telstra weren’t so **** to deal with, one would be tempted to leave Optus.

  • farapoc fma (@farapoc) reported

    @Telstra Fault not fixed still no internet! Your support keep doing the same but won’t send out a technician visit! I am losing patience and wasting money not receiving the service paid for! What you gonna do mate!

  • CJM15739823 CJM (@CJM15739823) reported

    @ProfPCDoherty We gained more spam calls and a massively expanded self help section on their website. And of course, we gained Codi, the digital online assistant who replaced 60 actual telstra humans in order to make way for the grand frommage and to fob you off without the touchy feely stuff.
