@anthonytobin73 @Telstra Had a similar experience yesterday. Forcing direct debit on customers with no alternative and telling us it will make things easier for us. Lost me as a customer. As soon as my contract ends in May I'm going to @Optus.

@corymedia @Telstra Yep just some bullshit from them. I have no problem with being charged a fee for being later with me bill (which I never am), but I do have a problem with them telling me there's only one way for me to pay my bill - and that's them take the money from my account. I'm done.

It's Now Time ! (@itsntconsult) reported
@Telstra I am trying to connect a phone from existing Telstra service to NBN but cannot get through on phone for 5weeks

@Telstra hi is there an outage in the west? I’m on sos and no idea why!

Tomasz Oczapowski (@tee1000) reported
In 4 weeks my Telstra NBN went from most reliable service to 22 outages per day. 3 different call centres acknowledged “no issues, see issues, your line is bad”. @Telstra how can I help you to help me? I really don’t want to cancel contract or ask for refund.

It has been pointed out to me that Canberra has a Telstra Tower. I have spent a lot of time in Canberra but never noticed it. I can't think of a clearer sign our capital has too much ugly architecture, rather than the requisite amount required for a city to be a capital.

The solution is to open a new bank account just to pay phone bills. The @JBHiFi guy says this is a soft launch - so they have told no one about it before making it compulsory March 9. #auspol #telstra

@Telstra It has not. I have an IQ2, and am trying to arrange a satellite install. Your text support gets as far as asking me for my account number, then goes radio silent. Repeat for every single day this week.

Lilal (@Lilal89156012) reported
@Samira_Sarraf As well. Telstra sends the same message anytime NBN does any work and there’s a whole day outage.

@Telstra My poor elderly, vulnerable parent. Remote Australia. Severe medical issues. 3 weeks without mobile. Telstra unable for no known reason to switch her prepaid sim to a postpaid account. 6 + hours in store and 'chatting' via the off shore chat service. I could weep.

Wombae (@Wombae_) reported
@x_MsAu Been with Telstra basically all my life and holy **** I can’t wait to move out, nothing but problems with Telstra and the customer service is the absolute worst. I’ve spent 10 years trying to get mum to switch providers. Literally anyone other then Telstra

@Leicnut Historically it's been our landline, but that's changed here in Melbourne because with the coming of the National Broadband Notwork (not a mistype) Telstra's abandoned the copper-wire landlines in favour of VOIP - which doesn't work with most major brand analogue phones @@

@Telstra I have no confidence considering the 5-day troubleshooting I have endured - to no avail. My conversation with the support team is now captured in 55 screenshots! It would be hilarious reading if it was fictitious.
