    Sam (@CTRL_ALT_DEL) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    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 There is no way to contact, the case manager directly. I called up customer service a few times, they left a note in the case for the case manager to call back. But no response.

    Frustrated with @amaysimAU 's 4G connection. Have had bad experiences with @VodafoneAU & @Telstra in the past with network and exhorbitant pricing. Where do I go now ?

  • 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.

    @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 (@TimothyJ_23) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @Telstra Nope. 4G. Just everything grinds to a halt. Slow to load at Halftime break. I understand load increases at those times when lots of people are on their phones but it seems telstra is the only network that really struggles here.

  • EmJaeCaer
    Michael Carmody (@EmJaeCaer) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @_KelloKitty Go belong. Pay more. Telstra has best mobile network. It’s not even a contest. And I HATe telstra in other areas so much.

    To all the peanuts sending me emails wanting to design a new website for me , and the dills representing Telstra , the crypto investment houses, the globe replacers, and Namibian Princes **** OFF AND STOP RINGING ME !!!!!!!

    Hey 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?

  • rocky1622

    Coalition is bunch wackos especially nationals have had 9 years get phones internet for country and now in paper today there giving Telstra a wack. Stupid

  • BillieHill64
    Ade (@BillieHill64) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @MattThomas1405 I feel your pain. I once had an issue with Telstra that meant we ended up with no internet. After 3 months of useless advice and zero help from them I ended up diagnosing & fixing the problem myself. I now try and avoid dealing with them at all…

  • Sheeds_au
    Sheeds (@Sheeds_au) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    Couldn't help misreading that @Telstra ad painted on the ground as "Australia is Why..T". Like when your eyes go the wrong way on a comic. Unfortunate visual oops. #NRLGF

  • vitomattvm
    vito m (@vitomattvm) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    Hey @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….

  • daniel2509
    Danial Smith (@daniel2509) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    @Telstra I sent a request via the app but nothing so I took it straight to Samsung and it seems the video and multiple forum post is not enough for them to admit their s22 range has this issue. They want it sent for analysis and repair before considering a refund.

  • dgmonty16
    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

  • guidomelo1
    ***** 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?

  • CorinnaWho
    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

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

    @vertikar @NBN_Australia @Telstra Yeah, 4G. No 5G coverage in this part of Melbourne. I wish I didn't have to use a SIM from another telco to get 20+ Mbps. Telstra 4G backup is about 0.16 Mbps down with a Smart Modem. We just tether phones during work hours for video calls or sharing would be too slow.

  • BillyFosterPics
    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.

    @NuttElecs @PaulBongiorno i remember a few years ago when a small fire in a chatswood telstra office took out their whole national SMS system. telstra loves single point of failure network design, i doubt they have much redundancy at all.

  • johnmartin_au
    JM (@johnmartin_au) reported

    One software defect took down mobile calls, regional trains, freight and EFTPOS for a day. 333 welfare checks over failed Triple Zero calls. Telstra will fix its process, the harder question is national: how much of our critical infrastructure hangs on single points of failure? JM #Telstra

  • driver_x_oz
    Driver_x_oz (@driver_x_oz) reported

    @Anneeokeefe Hardly it’s that Telstra and VicTrack completely screwed up the communications network resilience and redundancy. If they had done their jobs properly this wouldn’t have happened.

  • Lincolnabe123
    🌏Henry Ross (@Lincolnabe123) reported

    @MikeCarlton01 @Telstra In perspective though, as a regional resident of NSW with friends across many regions and states, none report having lost Telstra service anytime in the past week Is it a city thing or just involving 000 ?

  • hellenomania
    Giordano Bruno (@hellenomania) reported

    @NetworkChuck Hi mate Australia just had its national network carrier Telstra go down because it lost time Sync. SOmething I know you would be interested in with server time sync videos in the past.

  • twensor
    twensor (@twensor) reported

    @adaptive_ape But this outage is so much wider than safety (eg. triple zero). This failure has impacted on & exposed the lack of resilience of so many other economic systems seemingly hopelessly dependent on modern communications infrastructure working 100% of the time. #auspol #Telstra

  • NTPGolf66
    NTP Golf (@NTPGolf66) reported

    The @AustralianLabor government communications minister threatening to fine @Telstra $40m for their outage is next level hypocrisy given the carnage the same government has caused to the economy and tax payers with no ramifications.

  • keskes60
    Just Kas - If Not Now Then When? (@keskes60) reported

    @CecPedersen @Qldaah I'm sure that as the Shadow Communications minister she would have enough access to senior #Telstra staff to confirm if there was a problem Or indeed a simple call to the Minister's office

  • DancingDanB
    Dancing Dan (@DancingDanB) reported

    I’m not defending the gov, but it’s not always the gov fault when a gov funded service fails. This is primarily on Telstra (a privatised, formerly government service).

    @status_is_down is Telstra still down in SA?
