    Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Canberra, ACT

    I didn’t notice any improvement in Telstra’s customer service during H1. I’d say it’s gotten worse.

  • Technorants
    Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, ACT

    @NBN_Australia @naomi_t_81 Honestly after you add up all the work required to retrofit the last 1000m of old Telstra phone cabling and fixing issues with customer cabling it becomes much more expensive than the original project scope of fibre to 93% without the constant maintenance bill #nbn

    @Telstra Playstation please, but I am a long term Telstra customer. May consider it.

  • booth_alison
    Alison Booth (@booth_alison) reported from Canberra, ACT

    @Telstra The service has now been miraculously restored… at last.

    Ian (@Ian__P) reported from Canberra, ACT

    @marcuskelson @Telstra Don't direct debit with Telstra. Their billing system is shit. As is their willingness to admit and address problems. Better still don't do business with them - it's a lot easier.

  • Ian__P
    Ian (@Ian__P) reported from Canberra, ACT

    @MarkusMannheim No. In fact I think @telstra has deliberately let it run down hoping that the @actgovernment will be gullible enough to throw money at it.

  • Steve_Pesic
    steve_outandabout (@Steve_Pesic) reported from Canberra, ACT

    Everyone giving scomo grief for leadership but the bosses from Telstra and NBN should be high on the list for poor leadership, thousands of people with no phones or internet, hours, days, weeks and months spent by people just trying to use a service in Australia in 2020...

  • ianpmcleod
    Ian McLeod (@ianpmcleod) reported from Canberra, ACT

    @DONTCHIPMEBRO @NorelleFeehan @Telstra No, but promoting paramount tinfoil hat conspiracy theories does suggest someone is an idiot.

  • TravGee1980
    Travis (@TravGee1980) reported from Canberra, ACT

    @Telstra I would love to but the App won't let me in and changing the password does not help...

  • MartinAnne139
    Annie Martin AM (@MartinAnne139) reported from Canberra, ACT

    @Telstra what the heck is going on with my parents phone again. 90 year olds need access to this service and it’s not about unpaid bills! Went through all this with you mob and NBN and quite frankly I’m over it.

  • ianpmcleod
    Ian McLeod (@ianpmcleod) reported from Canberra, ACT

    @DONTCHIPMEBRO @scottjlawson @Telstra Yeah I've read about it. Unlike selfish neurotics who sit at home all day gorging on conspiracy theories, people like this are actually doing something useful for the world. Good on them. Turn the YouTube off and go help a charity, it will be do you good.

  • ianpmcleod
    Ian McLeod (@ianpmcleod) reported from Canberra, ACT

    @scottjlawson @DONTCHIPMEBRO @Telstra Oh look the selfish neurotic conspiracy ****** got all triggered and blocked me. I suppose the suggestion of being a selfish neurotic hit home. It's a common thread. I never see them out helping with anything. Just self absorbed.

  • giddeygirl
    Giddey with Autumn Wind (@giddeygirl) reported from Canberra, ACT

    Trying to find the woman who lost her bridge, in the recent floods, NSW, in a remote location, no help from Telstra. Anyone know her?

  • garydlum
    Gaz 🖖 (@garydlum) reported from Canberra, ACT

    @benny_132 @horrorfan4129 @Telstra Thanks. I've been waiting on hold. I will hang up and get on with my day. I feel sorry for people relying on #nbn for their livelihood when these things happen.

  • ianpmcleod
    Ian McLeod (@ianpmcleod) reported from Canberra, ACT

    @AUSBATTERYGRAD1 @FindlowHarrison @Telstra So why is terrahertz radiation at 10,000x the power of 5G not an issue then?

  • ianpmcleod
    Ian McLeod (@ianpmcleod) reported from Canberra, ACT

    @AUSBATTERYGRAD1 @FindlowHarrison @Telstra Then if the higher frequency is the issue yet terrahertz radiation is not, then please explain where "peak harm" is on the EM spectrum? At what point does harm start declining? Past 100, 200, 300THz or what? You're trained in this, you're concerned about 5G so you tell us.

    @BawdenSnoek I don't mind, sometimes I hang on until I get a real person after such calls about Telstra or NBN. Then I call them thieves and liars until they hang up.

  • ThylacinusC
    BlackStar (@ThylacinusC) reported from Canberra, ACT

    So #Telstra is throttling the internet again in MACGREGOR ACT. Really a big problem for those of us who work from home.

  • KBGoodness

    @Haydztweets @Jacko_GFreak @Telstra @Optus @iiNet Well no, some POIs have a higher capacity then others and it comes down to if they can actually support the speeds. If you're on a POI that is at almost capacity then the chances of getting higher speeds are limited, which is why people hit that 7pm slowdown.

    Dave Hall aka Not Funny (@skwashd) reported from Canberra, ACT

    @fwaggle I bet Telstra’s historic network design had something to do with it.

    Pete Repeat (@PeteRepeatAber) reported

    @EKnightOfficial @AlboMP do you job as PM for a change rather than embarrassing all of us with your puerile behaviour with "Bush Barbie". This Telstra outage (or outages) is/are 100% NOT ACCEPTABLE so YOU need to take change to find the root cause, provide that information ...

  • deirdreritchi10
    deirdre ritchie (@deirdreritchi10) reported

    Telstra service all up is never completely reliable. Many in the regions are turning to starlink.

  • ShayneALong
    Shayne (@ShayneALong) reported

    @7NewsAdelaide @pcaldicott7 @Telstra are lying. Gross incompetence was the cause of this outage. They have also failed dismally in meeting their obligations to customers. The ACMA will and should fine them the maximum possible,

    @VoteLewko Little stupid they only have Telstra and no backup.

    @AFL The Freo outage sponsored by telstra.

  • StMaryMacKiller
    St Mary MacKiller (@StMaryMacKiller) reported

    The Telstra outage is fascinating because I live in a bad spot, with consistently terrible coverage, yet we didn’t lose it at all. So weird.

  • Fallen_Halo

    And @Telstra is DOWN Again in FNQ!

    @theheraldsun So Telstra **** up and Allan thinks it’s a good idea for another Victorian taxpayer handout
