Customer frustrated with telstra for delaying internet connection, impacting business. seeking apology and resolution for extended wait time.
Have waited 3 weeks to get non wireless internet connected. Cancelled me on my date booked in. 6/5/24. Reshuffled to 8/5/24. It was raining so technician would connect. Have been now told they can connect me on the 12/6/24 over a month away. I am on a bush property alone and have a business that is going broke with no internet services. The Monday they cancelled me was fine to connect. This is wrong putting me at the end of the line again and may not have a business by the time they connect me.

Customer seeks $35 reimbursement from telstra due to multiple payment errors caused by card details deletion and multiple payment requests.
Firstly we have two mobile phones for which we have pre-paid arrangements with our credit cards. As the bank had reissued a new card, Telstra was unable to debit our card because the card details were deleted and no longer applicable. Telstra asked us to rearrange payments and provided payment methods. we received one email in the morning of yesterday and then another one in the afternoon in my wife's mobile. In the morning I arranged for payment for both phones with differentm obiles andthen in the afternoon, my wife received another message to advise the payment due had failed. So we arranged the payment as advised with new card details. Today, we note that there had been three such payments made to Telstra. Given that I hold two separate accounts in my name for prepaid phones, I cannot understand why Telstra sent two messages at two separate times. I need for Telstra to reimbursement me $35.00 asap. Please arrange for the overpayment of $35.00 into my credit card. Thank you. Nelson D'Silva
