Telstra Outage in Lake Cathie, Port Macquarie-Hastings, State of New South Wales

Well neither @Telstra or @NBN_Australia have managed to resolve my issue between them ... 30 days & counting ... shame on you both ... I have an online University exam worth 40% of my mark to do this weekend ... back to Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman

@Telstra I’m having trouble with the fact I have an nbn internet contract & @Telstra has been in breach of contract for 15 days ... for 8 days I had no wifi, nbn or landline ... for 7 days I’ve had 4G backup ... NOT GOOD ENOUGH

Making a complaint directly to @Telstra has as much utility as a doorbell on a coffin ... my case manager didn’t do anything and didn’t tell me anything I already didn’t know & condoned a 17 day wait for a technician visit ... your thoughts @rayhadley2gb?

The earliest @Telstra allege they can get a technician to inspect my NBN fault is 17 days after the issue began ... @rayhadley2gb - interested in hearing more about how this ISP has treated a customer of 15 years ? No NBN, wifi, landline for 17 days

@NBN_Australia @NBN_Australia Hi Matt ... thanks for your response ... very much appreciated & so much more than I have received from @Telstra ... no outage after using your link ... 12 days of no NBN, landline & wifi ... I’ve spent 20+ hours on the phone with Telstra

@NBN_Australia @NBN_Australia ... Telstra cancelled my technician appointment claiming issue was resolved ... it wasn’t ... earliest a technician can attend is Friday 16/4/21 ... NOT GOOD ENOUGH

@ACurrentAffair9 If it’s a slow news day and you fancy running an expose on how badly @Telstra treats customers of 15 years with their NBN service please reach out ... I have screen shots & more

NOW @Telstra ... between 4pm & 6pm I had wifi connection ... between 6-7.30pm my Telstra smart modem has restarted on 5 occasions ... since 7.30pm I’ve had a blue light on my smart modem & NO NBN ... MY ISSUE HAS BLATANTLY NOT BEEN RESOLVED!!! POOR FORM

@Telstra I feel like I am in a Monty Python skit ... after an ongoing TEN DAY NBN outage until 9pm last night, you assured me the outage was fixed ... between 11am & 4pm today there was yet another outage WITHOUT ANY PRIOR NOTIFICATION BY YOU OF SUCH OUTAGE

@Axe99 @Telstra It defies all logic & reason to have to have this amount of contact and repeat myself so many times ... the Telstra customer service rep wanted to do basic troubleshooting of the modem even though I provided the case reference and advised it was a line issue

Bravo @Telstra After 2.5 hours dealing with 3 customer service reps with no appreciation of customer service who asked me the exact same questions 3 times, you have given me no option but to take this to the Ombudsman ... bravo again 👏

@Telstra I fail to see the humour in a now 28 hour old NBN outage that has meant I have spent the best part of 2.5 hours in the Telstra app chatting with 3 separate customer service reps asking the exact same questions and still no further along with answers

@Telstra Is your customer service now an optional extra customers need to pay for???? I have YET ANOTHER NBN line fault approximately 12 months after the last unfortunate experience ... please check your messages from me with screenshots #epicfailtelstra

Just moved house, been unhappy with Telstra for a while so switched to @Aussie_BB because service supposed to be good! Need a @NBN_Australia tech to connect us, he says not very busy atm @Aussie_BB say it will take a week! #nocommunication #badservice

@Telstra rang 18 times to cancel my foxtel and keep hanging up on me your a fking joke @ScottMorrisonMP I know your busy but Telstra need a kick up the arse will go to @Optus now maybe more help

@Telstra How on earth do you suggest I resolve my problem when your app won’t run a diagnostic or tells me the NBN diagnostic failed and you are prohibiting telephone call contact due to COVID 19 ... how do I study or work??????????

@Telstra Some feedback for you - not only was the Complaints Officer you allocated on 2 March redundant and as useful as a doorbell on a coffin in resolving my wifi functionality issue ... he then tried to rewrite history by stating we had spoken before today which was UNTRUE

@Telstra @NBN_Australia Thankgod for a switched on technician ... my wifi issue was the result of my modem disabling the wifi functionality during a firmware upgrade and had you bothered to run a diagnostic @Telstra could have confirmed this 12 days ago - 👏 ineptitude #bravo

@NBN_Australia I’ve been checking @Telstra ‘s NBN outage website for the past 10 days and each day it says no outage in my area despite Telstra assuring me of a planned outage between 21/2-5/3 which they failed to notify me about prior

@NBN_Australia Even though @Telstra confirmed at 11am yesterday the outage was resolved and a technician needed to be organised ... at 3pm yesterday I get a call from an entirely different department of Telstra saying my wifi service would resume at 5pm yesterday = bollocks

mums @Telstra has the best social media presence of any internet company. They might be expensive as ****, but im starting to think it's worth it

@Telstra Dont worry I fixed the problem.

@crayolawtf @Telstra my internet is quite slow recently, any suggestions on how to fix it?

@crayolawtf Hey, @Telstra I have a problem can you help me?

@crayolawtf @Telstra I have a problem.

@crayolawtf @Telstra Yo! I need some help

@Telstra Spend some money on your infrastructure in Port Hedland. We can all make phone calls, but no one can use their data because the network is so clogged up with traffic! Disgraceful. Dial up speeds.

@peely76 @Telstra The whole telco industry funds Telstra’s payphones under a govt levy and their continued provision is mandated by the govt’s Universal Service Obligation. So no, Telstra could not have ripped them up nor did they “choose” society and the customer

What Telstra's free to use payphones shows is that public phones are an essential service. They always have been, from the moment they were introduced, to now, and into the future. We must never again pay for this essential service.

@gleep23 @Telstra I think not quite, but yeah, it's like public transport, the cost of ticketing mainly covers the cost of having a ticketing system. This is why these should be state assets, not listed companies with profit motives. Essential/monopoly service + profit motive = inefficient.
