Telstra Outage Report in Bywong, Palerang, State of New South Wales

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.

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

@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.

So, @Optus put up my phone bill because 'inflation', but has done nothing about my complaint about having no coverage many times over the past 4 months. I guess it's back to @Telstra for me, but I don't hold out much hope it will be better. Duopolies suck.

@LifeTimeCooking We resolved the admin issues (outstanding bills she can no longer pay herself, and a dead phone which Telstra *now* knows about). As for the washing: I asked them about it in Nov, but nothing has happened so I'll ring the manager on Monday with a stern voice.

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

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 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.

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

@MartinAnne139 @Telstra This is terrible. And in the run up to holiday season and in the middle of a pandemic….

@Telstra This is not much help as this has been going on for weeks so I suggest you contact the nbn and get this sorted thank you. Such failures around communication when dealing with the elderly some like my parents have no idea about this.

Dear @Telstra I would like to say a big thank you to the staff member who rang my 91 yr old Dad and 89 yr old Mum and informed them they would be turning off their service Re them not understanding the NBN. This is unacceptable contact me thanks

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

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

@DropTableFoxes @xssfox Yeah the biggest hurdle here in aus is the $$ of data. I keep a 5gb 12 month Telstra prepaid in my little android phone I use for radio stuff. But they are just too damn $$ for the extra. The haps are hard to get now - good for Aredn too

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?

@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.

@Telstra This is specific to my phone due to errors made by Telstra while trying to move my phone from one office to another. Please see ticket 07549342

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

@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

@bajo @Aussie_BB Wish I could get them, my place has post master general aged telstra line and the old neighbour we connect to never wanted to upgrade, can dream about using them next place ahaha

@Telstra why is the service so slow at the @mcg . Can hardly get a tweet out. 5g or 5km/h ??!

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..
