    @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??

    Good Grief Gladys has a new job with Optus. Think I should move to Telstra...if only they weren't so terrible

    @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.

    I 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.

    @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 🎇

    @TonyCinema I have had no issue with their service and their price point craps all over Telstra for the same thing.

    Benedict (@The_Enunciator) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @RoryBurnside I’m with @Telstra with the home phone, they gave me a call guardian home phone, when set up, it forces spam calls to announce themselves, call centre workers never do, they just hang up. Haven’t had a single scam call in months

  • czaxx
    Ben (@czaxx) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    Received a phishing call allegedly from @Telstra - a little more clever than usual - they offered a 40% discount on my bill for 12mths & when I said "sure,apply the discount" they said they just needed some"verification": name&DoB. Never give these details to unverified callers.

    @DianeJamesAM @Telstra I hear you Diane, I’m now with other providers after a lifetime of loyalty (both as an employee & customer) due to the appalling service which has resulted in no less that 3 escalations to the office of the CEO @andy_penn

    Hi from Telstra. NBN Co are performing network updates in your area on 21 April 2023. Your internet service may be interrupted between 12:00AM - 6:00AM for up to 20mins….” - Kooyong electorate: 2 years to get nbn connected & nearly 3 years later still this rubbish continues

    Best play of the day in the #aflgf so far has to be the Telstra ad during the break, highlighting how safe their network is…

    @Optus network between Ballarat and Melbourne… absolutely woeful! Switched from @Telstra last year, not sure it was the best decision… although they weren’t much better. 3rd World network. #shameful #dobetter

  • MalFPS_
    MalFPS (@MalFPS_) reported

    @OwlAims god damn. Yeah 50Mbps is like the basic norm for rural australia if you dont invest in a decent router and internet plan with a good provider (literally anybody but telstra lmfao)

  • TheGrassmanVT
    TheGrassman (@TheGrassmanVT) reported

    @Telstra For many moons my internet connectivity has been of an unstable condition, the mighty 5G network cutting out frequently which proves to be troublesome, especially during my prospects of entertaining an online audience.

  • clarkes
    Clarkie. It's the vibe of it. (@clarkes) reported

    @Mr_Fanta_Pants @Telstra Aldi uses Telstra network. We have had it for 10 years. No issues. Unused Data rolls over and over.

  • kezzyi66
    Kezz (@kezzyi66) reported

    @Mr_Fanta_Pants @Telstra The thing that absolutely shits me about this is that half the time I have to use my home wifi to use internet on my phone. They know how much of a mind **** it is to move to another company.

  • ColinCleanEnery
    Colin Ritchie (@ColinCleanEnery) reported

    @sydney_ev Telstra has been using batteries & solar on their relay stations for years. - they fail when overcast for 3 days. Farmers complain that they charge their Li-ion batteries and 3 months later when they need to use them, they have discharged. Just life

  • ayyyitspete
    LifeWithBeard™ (@ayyyitspete) reported

    @mikjcal @kpmuddle @Mr_Fanta_Pants Voda did a network sharing deal with Optus so they get all of Optus' rural coverage & Optus gets access to Voda's towers & fibre in areas Optus don't have a presence to install their radio gear and build out their network. Optus does very well vs Telstra in regional these days.

    @Telstra Personal i tried to do as you suggested got a txt msg saying my requests was not able to delivered on called your help centre they sent me a link filled in information now have to wait 5 days. TPG did it straight away all the way back to when I opened an account with them

    @Telstra Is the online support / chat on the website fried? It's cut me off three times now. Another price hike, the second in 10 months with $2-2.3 BILLON profit a year?

    Telstra plan increasing again even though the service is worse than when I first joined up with that plan.
