Telstra Outage in Campbells Creek, Mount Alexander, State of Victoria

For 2mths @Telstra have mishandled my order and follow up complaint. @andy_penn’s fixit team refuse to review all the material but they think a $60 “good will” credit is enough to make up for it. @MichaelAckland3 I really feel like a valued long term customer.

@Telstra It doesn’t seem to matter who makes the request. It all goes into the same black hole. You know things are bad when @andy_penn can’t fix stuff at Telstra.

@Telstra Email received from fixit team rep Tuesday morning AEDT. Replied Tuesday afternoon AEDT. Sent follow up early Thursday morning AEDT. Called midday AEDT today, got voicemail and emailed to ensure she knew I'd called and wasn't OoO. My initial complaint was submitted ~6wks ago.

@Telstra Thanks for the boilerplate response. I feel like a valued customer. The issue is the complaints team are unwilling not unable to resolve this matter.

@Telstra The specialist team never contacted me despite the message here that it had been escalated to them. So many failures from your side in handling this matter.

@Telstra I wasn’t getting anywhere with the complaints team lead. I lodged a complaint with the TIO. They told me to work with Telstra to resolve the issue. The team lead is insisting I deal with the TIO. That contradicts what the TIO says you should be doing.

@Telstra I can also give them the TIO complaint # when they contact me. The team lead I was dealing with insisted on sending more boilerplate about me emailing my DOB and refusing to acknowledge I’d authenticated over the phone. I don’t care who sorts it out. Email me a concrete offer.

@hipstergeddon @Telstra I finally found someone competent. Hopefully I’ll get a resolution tomorrow.

@Telstra I have suggested times she could call. She always calls at other times. She never calls back within the windows advised by colleagues. Email is the most efficient way for us to move forward at this point.

JFC! I order new phones from @Telstra. I get 8 missed calls & a voicemail from Telstra Business Centres. I waited 12mins to find out Kelly wanted to tell me about their exciting products but she was busy with someone else. @andy_penn I feel like a commission cheque not a customer

@mattgillard @Telstra I’ve found chat is the best way to get shit sorted with Telstra these days. The transcript is very helpful in case of problems down the road.

Telstra fuckups are like bad luck, they always come in 3s. I'm being billed for O365 with no warning previous free offer had expired. 10 digit account numbers allow access to different products compared to a 13 digit one. Getting an Apple Watch on a business plan is a major PITA.

@Telstra I opened the link in a different browser I never used for Telstra sites and got the same 500 error.

@Telstra No because we are busy trying yo run a business. We only discover extent of issue at 6pm last night. Can you please expedite this and stop the ref number from being closed off.

@Telstra my iPhone 4G signal and my 5G on my iPad have both crashed and I’m home where it normally works with no issues, right now, nothing on internet is loading. Is there a known crash in Northern Sydney? (I’m using my Vodafone wifi right now and that’s working fine)

@Telstra OK Ash. No I have not lodged a complaint. As I mentioned in the thread. I travel extensively throughout the Central Wheatbelt region of WA daily. The black spots and poor coverage are extensive, and at least anecdotally, have become worse.

@Telstra I'd have a better chance of Mark McGowan inviting me to his private box at Optus Stadium for the 2022 Ashes series than I would of a bot fixing the mobile service in regional WA.

@farms_sanderson @Telstra It has gotten worse over the last 12mths in the central wheatbelt. We pay to have the best quality handsets, pay a premium over other providers for "better coverage." We shouldn't have to use Cel-Fi to get usable service.

@Telstra @BlakeJennoLive willow you are a saviour, please help i cant bare my streamer not being able to stream

@Telstra Is there an outage with 3G around 4172? Haven't been able to call for over a day now. 4G still working but my phone doesn't have VoLTE. My work phone does and is working fine but if I drop it to 3G it stops working too. (Have restarted etc, SMS/data is fine, just calls)

Hey @telstra and @NBN_Australia, the NBN is down in my neck of Fitzroy North, 3068. Which of you would like to be helpful?

@Telstra is there an ongoing issue with mobile data? I haven't been able to use internet on my phone without wifi since Midday yesterday. My bill is paid, I can send/receive calls and SMS, I've turned it off and on, but no use. 👎🏼 paying for a high-data plan that I can't use
