    @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.

    @Aerohaveno @Telstra Never ending these days

    @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.

    @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.

    Dave Dawson (@demon_dave) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @Foxtel changed to Murdoch’s Foxtel last week because it was supposed to be easier and cheaper than going through @Telstra , what a massive mistake, they never answer phones they’re the most inept bunch of corporate lackeys this side of @amazon

    @grant_phelps @Telstra Go to @Aussie_BB as best thing I ever did was to get away from Telstra as such shocking customer service

  • _TimMcMahon
    Tim McMahon (@_TimMcMahon) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    4G 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

  • tigertufftanya
    Tanya (@tigertufftanya) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @Gizmobud @RayRockyDog @Foxtel I just signed up for the trial. And yep, as a Telstra customer I can get a discount 👍

  • VeteranDave
    Thanks for coming (@VeteranDave) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    Asking 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? 😡

  • sthmel
    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 🎇

  • _TimMcMahon
    Tim McMahon (@_TimMcMahon) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    Telstra 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

    The Telstra logo on the 50 looks so bad, really doesn’t need the blue background

    @Marni_Kelly @Telstra People make all the difference Marni. Some want to help, others don’t care

  • asteroidproject
    Damian Marley 🚀 (@asteroidproject) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    Did you know: If you’re with @Telstra and you have multiple mobile phones in your household, with contracts signed on different dates, you get direct debited for each service on different days? It’s confusing, inconvenient and dumb, and Telstra don’t care.

    CrinDavey 🥂🚜🏇💎💉🦠 (@CorinnaWho) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @morrisperry Yes , appears to be the issue with @VodafoneAU , my work phones on @Telstra and no issue with it in regional areas

  • Stanleysmum1
    Stanleysmum (Sharon) (@Stanleysmum1) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @Telstra could you be anymore incompetent! My poor 84yr old mum new mobile in Nov. M1, T cancelled acc in error, needed a new number a week without it. M2-DD failed,acc blocked as they'd typed wrong bank deets. M3 same issue store can't fix need to raise complaint. Can't fix 😤😡

  • Piiiiickles
    Pickles (@Piiiiickles) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @Telstra I have mobile data… but it’s not enough to do what we can normally do. We rely on consistent service to be able to work at home. We had no warning. We are paying for both mobile and home internet, yet getting less than half the service. Outage map comes up negative for our area.

  • BillyFosterPics
    BILLY FOSTER PHOTOGRAPHY (@BillyFosterPics) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @Teltsra @Telstra Wait your turn? A simple connection to broadband has taken 6 weeks, hours on the phone & the same conversation every single time. Your response is typical of the @Telstra Customer Service. Check the records and your total lack of professionalism in this response.

  • Niksterisms
    Nikki Clare (@Niksterisms) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    Oh @Telstra I’m also $300+ in credit, but apparently your new system doesn’t talk to your old system, so will I ever be refunded that amount? The reason that I was ahead on my plan was because I set up my own payments to avoid being giving a bad credit rating you once threatened

  • sthmel
    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.

    @QBCCIntegrity remember when a small fire in a chatswood telstra building took out their whole SMS network? this outage shows us that telstra failed to learn and introduce any sort of redundancy to their critical systems. network is riddled with single point of failure issues.

    Professor_Stinks (@ProfessorStinks) reported

    Footage used by the bunker to confirm Bostock didn’t knock on now confirms he did knock on in post match review. Error being blamed on #Telstra outage. Can’t make this **** up! #soo #origin

    @RayJCapo79 @Telstra Correct … they have come out today saying they are still working on some issues. Very frustrating!

    @FetchStep @Telstra Holidays on full pay; ‘emergency off’ can’t be afforded by any Australians. Where’s the Minister &/or 2nd in charge?

  • jenkspl64
    Wot da ! (@jenkspl64) reported

    I was ready to dismiss the talk yesterday of outside interference into the Telstra network as 🐂💩 and a beat up. But, the reseting of a software's clock is a very old hack, well known to create havoc in many systems. Two questions: who wrote the update's code, a human or AI;

  • Janine_1801
    Proud Aussie_1801 (@Janine_1801) reported

    We mustn't forget Triple Zero outage yesterday as well under Telstra. Calls went unanswered here in Victoria over 300 calls and people couldn't get through. Victoria has become a 3rd World State. Australia is becoming a third world country!

    Telstra sucks. Nothing but the most borderline useless stooges in Australia. Melbourne's AFL weekend is going to be hell's chaos starting from tomorrow.
