Telstra Outage Report in Cessnock, State of New South Wales

@Telstra 2hrs this morning wasted with your member chat trying to take out a new contract, long term customer counts for nothing, go on Optus site and as a nobody I got a better deal straight off.

Went to upgrade my iphone today. @telstra want my CC details for automatic deductions each month. (Never been late with monthly payment yet) With all the current cyber security issues I cannot agree with giving approval to a potential target company to make auto deductions

@recneps51 @Optus @NSW_FairTrading I bpay to telstra also, I know they charge me for a paper bill, which I request but never receive, but I don’t know about the other bit. I’d never allow direct debit, especially Optus, I used to ring them every other month about issues.

@Telstra Damn dude!

@MaryaEJones @Telstra Up and running with a new provider now Marya. I took the hint that Telstra didn’t want me as a customer which is what they must have been doing

@Telstra It’s the second time Emily. But guess what ? I’m working at a superb solution to the matter And I was a Telstra customer for years

@Telstra spoke to a technician. Apparently a problem with the line. #NBN involved ( God help us). Appointment now booked for (Drum roll....) 14th April Seriously? I suppose the NBN technical support can't be faster than the #NBN.

@Telstra hi, my wife's NBN has been down for 2 days. She's rung several times only for her call to ring out. Pretty hard to run a business with no NBN.

@RonniSalt @Telstra Up em Ronni. Love their customer service model: - “F•ck the customer. Make em wait.”

@stymo78 @Telstra @brandonvidler help a bloke out #locallegend

@Telstra Yep. Unfortunately I’m so disgusted with the way I’ve been treated as a customer will see me head to @optus Telstra high prices dont reflect the service you receive from staff when there is a problem. It’s disgraceful. By far the worst telco I have dealt with, ever.

@Telstra No way will I be staying with Telstra when my plan is done. Sorry to say but you’ll lose me as a customer no matter what.

@Telstra Leasing a phone was the worst choice I made to be honest. I expected I’d receive a call or letter at the 12mo mark with an option to renew, replace or buy out but I wasn’t contacted. I would have bought it out then.

@Telstra Yeah, I will. It’s a real shame that this service is the norm. There’s a lot cheaper options out there, and you’d think service would be amazing from Telstra, but nope.

@Telstra your live chat is a total shitshow. I wasted 20 minutes there with an issue and got non coherent answers from a team leader. I’m so sick of you and your shitty service, and your inability to send me a paper bill on time, or in this case at all.

I’m old enough to remember old Telstra (Telecom/PMG) which I had a surprisingly close relationship with. Were they annoyingly bureaucratic, authoritarian and patriarchal? Yes. Is new system, which tries to make you the customer &/or a low paid call centre worker do the work …

Spending my Friday evening chatting online with a Telstra help desk employee trying to sort out a billing problem. What a fun life I lead! In fairness, they were nice & I think we’ve sorted the immediate problem. In the bigger picture, has privatisation been a good thing? No

hey @Telstra any chance you can fix the reception issues at the #AustralianGP before the weekend? #Telstra

@Telstra please fix 🙏

@Telstra your network sucks.I'm facing this issue for many days. Most of the times when I leave from home/office and get disconnected from home/office wifi and enter the streets , the mobile network and data network just disconnects and not able to reconnect to Telstra network.

@Telstra thumbs down, halving my home internet speed before I could “update” to a better plan ie pay more. How is this not some form of gouging? All of a sudden streaming services stopped working.

telstra is either having an outage rn or being a jerk cause my home pc’s are COMPLETELY disconnected from the internet and i know another telstra user in a different state is having the same issue rn phone is connected fine but pc won’t pick up any telstra network

Don’t know what everyone else is experiencing but the @Telstra mobile service is so poor recently.. I’m thinking of purchasing some carrier pigeons..

@Telstra have been on hold for 50 mins now and yet to speak to a human about an unplanned nbn outage here since 6am this morning

.@Telstra I was promised a return phone call within the hour on Tuesday to escalate a billing issue, but I'm still waiting. #NotHappyJan
