Claire 包玉思🏅🥈🥇🥉🥇🥇🥉🥇💉💉💉 (@AuspiciousTimes) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@TMFScottP @Telstra @NBN_Australia Agreed. My provider offered broadband back as of all the problems in the area. I'm sure others had the same offer. I'm also sure it will improve one day. However school work needs to be done.

troiboi 🤨 (@Troiboi) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaAnyone else got the new #AppleWatch and having no end of trouble trying to set cellular up? @Optus no help. @Telstra seemingly the same. Lots of threads talking about the issues. Why can they not solve? #apple #iPhone14ProMax

Thanks for coming (@VeteranDave) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaAsking 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? 😡

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
-
Glenn Hampson (@GlennHampson) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@KenCrompton Vodafone are horrible and Telstra are way overpriced
-
Sheeds (@Sheeds_au) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaCouldn'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

𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚛𝚕𝚘.𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚌e (@stirlospace) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@cameronwilson Also v handy for checking “does X network actually provide service where I’m at /. Work or live?” Without having to sign a contract or >1 month typically. Where I’m at in aus Telstra and Vodafone seem to be the best combo, Optus just does NOT work. At all, YMMV etc
-
✨ Miss Natski ✨ (@Natski82) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Jane_L_Kennedy @Telstra I should also point out that the @CommBank weren't much help either, as they never called him to say some random person was trying to take $19,000 out of his account and never bothered to refund the money for their negligence
-
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 🎇

***** 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?

Peter Bannan (@PeterBannan5) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra That takes me to sign in, which takes me back to my account and the app.

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 ****
-
Mick (@mikjcal) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@3bsBruce @SydGuy78 Process was simple as with @VodafoneAU - on the new iPhone just went to settings > mobile > add eSIM from nearby phone - took a few minutes😳😳 Surprised the others are having such a hard time. You’d think Telstra of all carriers given their size would have their **** together.

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.

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….
-
Brian Humphries (@rocky1622) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaThere’s customer service at Telstra anymore people should not have book
-
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
-
DevaDev (@DevaDev21) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra Hope you can help - viktor. DM'ed as suggested. Help with fixing the network issue or help with port out of telstra.
-
Glenn Hampson (@GlennHampson) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@lhjh70 I’ve been called by Vodafone, Telstra and IiNet as well as ANZ and NAB of which i am a customer of none it takes 5 secs for them to kick in and a common accent in all of the calls

Muz De Sac (@MuzzaDavo) reported@lagoonki Incidentally, while I was taking my pic on the Yorke, my phone was operating on the signal from the Telstra tower on Kangaroo Island, it's so close.
-
afraid_au (@afraid_au) reportedAussie @tarkov players using iPrimus or Telstra as an ISP may be experiencing high ping to the Sydney server. No ETA on a fix at this time.
-
Ladybugfunk (@ladybugfunk) reportedSo the government can spam all our phones but they can’t stop the curry muncher scammers from calling us under the pretence of - solar panels, batteries, Telstra tech support, ANZ Bank security executive - lol that last one was hilarious. given I knew head of security of a large corporation and nobody in head office would be calling customers. Ever. **** you very much Albo!
-
Steven Payne (@CmonMick) reported@Buccoatthecat @RouleurCapital @DHughesy Yes we get to vote them out periodically. We get a say Can I vote out Telstra & use a rival 000 service when they screw up. The energy infrastructure is owned by 1 priv company in SA. They dictate charges. The public cant just simply not buy ( energy ) what they are offering🤷
-
Wal (@wally_waldo83) reported@FinancialReview This is classic regulatory free riding. Why would anyone pay Telstra prices or why would Telstra keep investing billions in regional coverage if customers can buy the cheapest network then use Telstra whenever theirs fails? Emergency roaming makes sense. Forcing the company that built the better network to subsidise competitors who didn’t is how you eventually end up with nobody investing in the better network.
-
Milkers CTO (@MILKERSBOUNCE) reported@cb_doge I speak for all of Australia. Bypass Telstra entirely and deliver the service directly. It would be the largest onboarding event ever seen.

Brian Basson (@BassonBrain) reportedOokla: DIRECT-TO-DEVICE COMES OF AGE IN ASIA PACIFIC 🛰📲 Satellite direct-to-device (D2D) service, which enables smartphones to connect directly to satellites in areas lacking terrestrial coverage, is expanding rapidly across the Asia Pacific region. The region’s first carrier-run nationwide satellite texting service launched with New Zealand’s One NZ in December 2024. By mid-2026, six Starlink-based commercial services operated across four markets: One NZ, Telstra (Australia), KDDI/SoftBank/NTT Docomo (Japan), and Globe (Philippines, launched June 2026) Australia and New Zealand showed the highest activity. Detected users averaged 25.7 and 23.0 scans per month (Jan–Jun 2026)—near daily contact. Usage rose through the southern warm season (peaking in April) and fell in winter, reflecting outdoor recreation and remote work in coverage gaps. These levels far exceed denser markets like the UK (~4 scans/month) and match Canada’s high reliance. Philippines held the region’s largest detected D2D base (64% in Q2 2026), with activity detected from January 2026—months before commercial launch. Pre-launch growth reflected testing and opportunistic registrations. Population scale and disaster needs (e.g., earthquakes, ~20 tropical cyclones yearly) drive demand; Globe offered free access during a June 2026 Mindanao quake. Per-capita and frequency of use remained lower than Australia’s. Japan has the broadest free access (three operators) yet lowest sustained use. Detected base in June 2026 was about half its July 2025 level; users averaged only 7.6 scans/month. High urbanization and >99.9% population terrestrial coverage limit exposure to gaps. Operator figures (e.g., Docomo’s 5 million connected users) are higher but measure one-time connections across iOS/Android. Services function mainly as retention tools.

💧Daren Connor 🇦🇺 (@connor_daren) reported@Telstra you send me messages to say the network is having issues & use wifi calling but if the network is having issues which affects my devices then how the hell do I use wifi calling when there’s no network? How long will this be going on? This is the 4th day of these messages
