    @emmeneeez #qanda started me off, and now I have many online friends. Also I have gotten better customer service and results by tweeting directly at some Companies. Telstra and Behringer to name just 2. Also What @picklessprakel said.

    My only internet connection is with Telstra via my iPhone but that has only one bar in signal strength sitting in my room.

    @telstra #telstra intermittent mobile service today in Curtin ACT. Down to one bar. Have missed several calls. Not good enough Telstra.

    @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.

    @Telstra Hi @telstra our service is still down. No call. No follow up from your Australian based support. Please help.

  • _kieranoconnor
    Kieran O'Connor (@_kieranoconnor) reported from Canberra, ACT

    @Telstra I think the reception issue has cleared itself up :) but traded it for a physical phone problem (volume for speaker in calls isn't loud at all). I'm on a plan with a @googledownunder Google Pixel XL

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

    @DONTCHIPMEBRO @scottjlawson @Telstra No there's not. There is a precedent of bullshit spreading via ridiculous conspiracy theories because people still cannot grasp that they are not the centre of a vast, chaotic universe and no one gives a ****. Conspiracies are narcissistic neurosis manifested.

    On Telstra? Visual voicemail not working? No-one can help you? SMS "STATE" (without quote marks) to 125100474 I've been missing messages for weeks and no-one could fix it. FINALLY solved! #telstra #iphone #visualvoicemail

    @CapitalToad 1/2 I’m sorry to hear of your Telstra woes. I only have them for my phone service & never had a problem. I use iiNet for internet & they’ve been pretty good, though waiting on hold for an hour isn’t uncommon.

  • thefoodmarshall
    Fran Marshall (@thefoodmarshall) reported from Canberra, ACT

    Hey @Telstra 3 “experts” with 3 hours of “gold” help, 3 attempts to pay an auto payment YOU screwed up, service still suspended, 3 hours of “oops something went wrong”, a 65 MINUTE PHONE WAIT, 4 people who cannot use services we’ve been paying for for 10 years. Absolute joke.

  • hgo7627
    HG (@hgo7627) reported from Canberra, ACT

    @Telstra Spoke with @Telstra today. The start point is a new modem. Arriving Friday. I fear the problem is actually because of FTTN rather than FTTH.

  • Lindamatija25
    Linda Matija (@Lindamatija25) reported from Canberra, ACT

    @RedFiddler Am thinking of switching to Telstra for mobile as coverage by other providers is crap when you travel regionally.

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

    Spoke with Kate @Telstra who has provided the best service then transferred finally to another team and everything went downhill. I just want my elderly parents phone to work. Don’t message me as my blood pressure is through the roof @Telstra

    @Telstra Thanks for the update Telstra & staff. Could you confirm the length of outage and locations impacted please. Yamalu Malarndirri

    @Charrisa11 @Telstra @markhumphries Maybe go back to school and re-do basic physics before asking stupid questions that have been explained repeatedly which people like you stubbornly ignore. I can't prove ghosts exist, or don't exist. Look up how "science" works.

    @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.

    David White (@m0457356748) reported from Canberra, ACT

    @Telstra @telstra big thanks to Daniel in the Australian Faults Team who successfully resolved our phone problems after 3+ days of no phones. Great to speak with someone in Australia. Daniel listened and took action to resolve the problems.

    @88888sAccount Best to wait till Telstra or the NBN is down again and then really rub it in the face.

    Neil fled the country despite footage showing him near Telstra infrastructure. What role did Neil have to play in the outage? The public has a right to know!

    @therealrukshan @FranMooMoo Throwing Telstra under the bus in a blame game. Any company responds to incentives, not just public lectures. They need to set the incentives better and check for robustness before **** goes wrong. This chick is supposed to be my MP. No chance I’ll vote for her.

    PK: If someone has died due to Telstra outage...this is a huge problem for Telstra and for the gov. These ghouls don't give one **** about human life.

    @ruseethruable @MikeCarlton01 @Telstra out here landlines fail the moment the power goes out, no battery or generator backup at our exchange. mobile has 4 hour battery backup. our grid provider, essential energy, likes to schedule regular 8 hour outages for maintenance.

    Warwick Brown / CEO of HTMX (same thing) (@WarkickBrown) reported

    @eddit0r @OperationalInc1 Hey wait, if I live in an estate/apartment building that has non-NBN fibre and Telstra don't sell services on it, and I call them to order my USO-guaranteed home phone service and they say no, can I sue them?

    @kanethesaint @OMGTheMess When you find out that the Telstra core network is managed IN INDIA, you have to wonder…

  • peeeengry
    fanpengry🐧 (@peeeengry) reported

    Looks like Neil really was behind the Telstra outage. He literally sealed off the network. And no, I’m not just trying to seal the seals because penguins happen to be seal food. What am I saying. #neiltheseal #telstra
