Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Wollongong and nearby locations:

  • BronwynCarlson Dr Bronwyn Carlson (@BronwynCarlson) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra That’s a poor excuse sorry. The phone calls never get through to a human regardless of what you need. Your text service is inadequate and also not a human. The most response I’ve received is on Twitter because it’s public. I fear for my 75 y/o mum dealing with Telstra

  • iB3nji Ben (@iB3nji) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @tuppaware @jono_hayward Worth mentioning though that Telstra have removed that note on their outage page.

  • iB3nji Ben (@iB3nji) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @blake_andersson @Telstra @Optus Go Boost Mobile! I’m with them. Same Telstra network, unlimited Apple Music, more data for less. Pre-paid.

  • iB3nji Ben (@iB3nji) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra_news “Telstra operate the nation’s only 5G network”. I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure @Optus has 5G too.

  • iB3nji Ben (@iB3nji) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @mrdanielfeo @Optus @Telstra Agree, 1.5Mbps is terrible.

  • Cat41968 Cath L (@Cat41968) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra trying to activate a prepaid service....has now taken more than 24 hours. Not good enough! Please advise!

  • michael50lodge 💧Michael Lodge (@michael50lodge) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @macsween_prue @Telstra Of course sensible people will hang up on you

  • cambuslangtrain John Roach (@cambuslangtrain) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @LesStonehouse Faithful to Telstra for 40 years despite our blind loyalty not being reciprocated in quality of service or pricing. Switched to Optus at NBN connection time some years back. Could not be happier with Optus!! Stuff Telstra "and all who ro(r)t in her!!"

  • dan69rr Danielle Moustoukis (@dan69rr) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra relocation are still ongoing. Our ‘Connection Manager’ Ankita last contacted me on Thursday to say on Friday our old phone numbers were being cut across from our old address and there would be minimal disruption.Our case ref with her is 2-26877336684. No inward calls since. Help!

  • mariewalsh18 Marie (@mariewalsh18) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @trivialshite @CoryTalksPod @Telstra Customer Service = Oxymoron 😠

  • MickinGong MickintheGong (@MickinGong) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @PhilGould15 Yes..I think it's a Telstra issue

  • Shane_Szakacs Shane Szakacs (@Shane_Szakacs) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    Been in my new house 7 weeks & @NBN_Australia keeps canceling & will not give me a reason why. Hopefully @Telstra complaints department can help. #internetsucks

  • IamKaanKaban Kaan Kaban (@IamKaanKaban) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra Internet after today’s issue is cutting out. I’ve turned it off for 10 mins, turned it back on, I’ve hit the reset button, it starts to work for a bit and goes off again, I had a similar problem a week ago. Is there a problem in my area? Fairy meadow 2519 NSW

  • shenmaxiu 沈马修 (@shenmaxiu) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra @janehansen2000 This is about cellular and backhaul capacity issues; you already have the metrics on your systems to indicate the issues, @Telstra

  • MickinGong MickintheGong (@MickinGong) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    Telstra. Waiting to have the account activated. Takes up to 4 hours. So far, 2 days. Message from them " There unfortunately is a delay in the activation" No shit Sherlock. Call to complain. " want to lodge a complaint" Sorry, wrong dept, this is billing" transfers me to billing

  • BronwynCarlson Dr Bronwyn Carlson (@BronwynCarlson) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    Trying to solve a @Telstra issue with endless hours on hold, when I get through I get disconnected, no call back- shitty service. I’m starting to doubt any humans work there. Time for a change of service providers!

  • BronwynCarlson Dr Bronwyn Carlson (@BronwynCarlson) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra Calling Telstra only to be disconnected and referred to a text service with a non- human who is incapable of responding to anything off script. No call back.

  • iB3nji Ben (@iB3nji) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @nick_spurway @Telstra All carries have issues there. I just think it’s congested AF.

  • iB3nji Ben (@iB3nji) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @nick_spurway @Telstra 2019 and you get zero roaming data is plain stupid.

  • MischNarracott Michelle Butterfield (@MischNarracott) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra I’m a patient person. However when my very elderly parents in Kiama are left without a land line for over 20 days & I discover that someone in @telstra or @nbn didn’t create a ‘Task ID’ for the third time in 3 weeks I reach a state of total frustration. Pls help.

    @JamesPinnell @Telstra Pedantically: Literally the first line of the linked page is "If you believe that you have experienced misuse or abuse online, and have technical details to show that it originated from a Telstra service..."

  • Critica01625647 Critical-thinking (@Critica01625647) reported

    @PSyvret ... believe it or not the service at telstra has improved.

  • Robert_G_Green Robert G Green (@Robert_G_Green) reported

    @rachael_rose78 @SharnelleVella Telstra is half the problem. Sure

  • NotRealms Realms (@NotRealms) reported

    @Jokerdznn you problem, works on every device in my house optus & telstra

  • wyvernsrose Wyvernsrose🐲🐉🐔🐣🐈‍⬛ (@wyvernsrose) reported

    @alexmakin @shaeganvishal @Telstra oh no absolutely.... travel wise though regardless of provider the costs it carries its not a service I utilise it was a nightmare when the boss travelled and didn't tell me because it meant my phone bill would explode those weeks and not by a little

  • alexkidman Alex Kidman (@alexkidman) reported

    @Telstra Nothing unique about this one you wouldn't already hit a million times a month (13 million, even). And your form asks if it originated on the Telstra network -- there's no way for a consumer to know which network the call came from!

  • odonnellbuckets Jamie O'Donnell (@odonnellbuckets) reported

    @OnceWereRadical @Telstra @TelstraEnt Hey mate the employees name isn’t Josh. I’ve had the same service from him. His name is Phil McCracken

  • Boardroom_Melb The Boardroom (@Boardroom_Melb) reported

    Our phone lines are down - please email or contact us via Twitter. The transition to an NBN phone system as Telstra is removing copper lines is the issue. We are sorry for any inconvenience and are working on resolving this as soon as possible.

  • aDottore Dr. Antonio Dottore (@aDottore) reported

    The service is by @Telstra (if that matters?)

  • OfficialWOOF Official WOOF (@OfficialWOOF) reported

    @JayPeeterman @Optus You're not going to get it from Telstra/Optus, they're not focused on the customer and their customer service experience is an automated sham of an effort. Customer Service matters and it became clear its not a high enough priority for them.
