Rodger John Riach (@RiachRodger) reportedABSOLUTE garbage John HOWARD / Peter Costello with the VITAL votes of Barn A bee Joyce & Tasmanian Independent Senators Telstra SOLD OFF along with all future Revenue Joyce COST Aus way more that his worth
-
Rob Arbon (@arbon_rob93103) reported@SophiaMoermond When John Howard defeated Paul Keating in the 1996 election, Australia's federal debt was $97B. He sold assets (like Telstra) plus set about paying down the debt. The debt was cleared in 2006 and our savings began. The Rudd govt inherited $17B.

enz (@enz2g) reported@joey8bitz @1WeakGuttedDog Holy **** you’re dumb. Boost is a budget provider, they are never going to give you the same PRIORITY as you’d get with Telstra otherwise the people that pay twice the amount would be getting the same service No one with boost is expecting the same speeds and priority
-
Doctor Vadar Who (@DoctorVadarWho) reported@Telstra when are you going to support RCS for iPhone in Australia because I would like to have it so green bubbles don't mess up group messages @Apple
-
Andrew (@andrewrdn463) reportedSTOP HANGING UP ON CUSTOMERS TELSTRA WHEN THEY NEED HELP: Give us a call. Please give us a call on the following number. 1800 882 389 We look forward to assisting you with any queries you have related to your experience

landman (@hasselljpb) reported@telstra had a phone call today but because our service has dropped so badly I didn’t take it because it would have been futile! Turns out it was a near neighbour who had a terrible traffic accident! Luckily they got hold of wifey who is the ambulance officer. We need better!!!!
-
Sam Rusty Rennie (@hairyredmanlet) reportedIt's worth remembering that the Howard Government paid down debt with asset sales rather than genuine fiscal conservatism, and this time around, there isn't a Telstra or Qantas to sell. That said, the spending binge from late 2007 onwards makes Howard look like Milei.
-
People of Internet (@PeopleOfNet) reportedThe real risk isn't SpaceX leaving — it just launched DtD with Telstra in June 2025. The risk is one MNO-satellite tie-up controlling the entire mobile-satellite layer. The fix: use-it-or-lose-it milestones + open access licence terms.
-
Depresso Martini ♥︎♡︎ (@algorithmsayshi) reportedSwitched home internet providers cause Telstra were actually insane lmao but now when connected to my AGL wifi it doesn't let me watch any NBA on my NBA app and this message just shows up. I have tried trouble shooting it and I've even ventured onto Reddit for help but nothing works 😩🥴 I literally pay a yearly fee to watch NBA games so not sure why they're cockblocking me! I've turned VPN **** off and on. I can watch when my wifi is off still 😣
-
Hamish (@reach_hamish) reported@GusLefty @arbsmichael And privatising Telstra to safeguard superannuation is a problem why? PLUS, he did election on the GST as a reform he wanted to inttroduce in 1998. The GST never happening was a 96 promise. But 98 he did say it would.
-
Alan Baxter ♛ (@AlanBixter) reportedUsually @Telstra is happy to jump on line and offer a fix (of sorts) to complaints about their terrible service. Not today. They have no fix for no fibre, flooded and archaic coaxial, and massively overloaded 5G. Too long bullshitting govt and shareholders. They just can't cope.
-
Pat Fenis (@BigStrawDog) reported@kai_h @algorithmsayshi Tried this, it has us located in Sydney for some reason. While the modem was updating the DNS it restarted and my phone connected back to our old Telstra net which had us accurately located in Victoria. Def AGL/eero issue from troubleshooting
-
Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@Feintglow @robb_j_m Or just change providers that actually want to provide a proper service and want happy customers. Rather than Optus, Telstra etc that don't care and know people aren't smart enough to change
-
ARTCvan 🍉 (@ARTCvan) reported@frokfrdk don't forget Telstra/TPG/Optus might just block it from the network for no reason either... expensive *** paper weight
-
Greg Lark (@Greglark4Lark) reportedJust got an email that my Telstra service is going up in price AGAIN. Time to get on the bandwagon..
-
Frances Daily (@Frances__Daily) reported@AlanBixter @Telstra Not to mention their email service BigPond’s which frequently has issues…
-
It's the climate, stupid! (@lightgolightly) reported@JayJay1094727 @AlanBixter @Telstra No. They come out and fix it.

Andrew (@andrewrdn463) reportedPeople on radio saying Mira Bashi Customer Experience Telstra is ignoring customer feedback?????????
-
Whimsy Wolfie (@wolfie_games17) reported@AllieHollyS I’m with Aldi! $29 a month, data rolls over & uses the Telstra network
-
AL (@asewell6) reported@Optus what disgraceful experience. Into the second day of trying to upgrade my internet. @Telstra do you want a new customer?
-
Andrew (@andrewrdn463) reportedPeople on radio saying Mira Bashi Customer Experience Telstra is ignoring customer feedback?????????

SNOOPREY (@SNOOPREY77) reported@Telstra You guys providing inadequate service is not something I should be trouble shooting it’s something you guys should be doing
-
JoshAtticus (@joshatticus) reported@itsiclassic Like I would've just gone and called support from one of the free Telstra payphones if I'd known it was gonna take that long and the store couldn't do anything
-
Conrad (@SdadMyself) reported@SkyNewsAust Every business contributes tax revenue to the government, and extending the licence ‘could’ help raise additional funds. Will this create more jobs, or lead to layoffs like we’ve seen at Telstra and the big four banks, taking into consideration in the current climate?
-
TaxFodder (@Coldhardface) reported@belinduhpyne There was little left to sell after Hawke and Keating sold federal and state assets in their Privatisation rampage. Key assets sold under the Hawke government included: The Commonwealth Bank of Australia Qantas Telstra CSL These sales were part of a broader strategy that also involved floating the Australian dollar, deregulating financial markets, and dismantling the tariff system. While critics argued this abandoned traditional Labor values and contributed to issues like increased household debt, supporters view these reforms as essential modernizations that 'strengthened' the Australian economy. We're real strong now eh?

澳洲袋鼠 🇦🇺🦘 (@popgomouse) reported@BlairPring81213 @cjoye When Howard partially privatised Telstra, it retained the countrywide copper landline backbone, a network monopoly. All telcos and ISPs needed to connect to Telstra landline. Telstra usually took a long time to find the keys to exchanges when other telcos asked to connect. 3/8
-
InnerQuasar35 (@Pom_Bazooka) reported@laughingconser1 @jockie_c They sold more than just the retail arm of Telstra which is the problem; they were a monopoly unlike CBA and Qantas. They also sold gold reserves and our airports. Privatised public debt, and despite all this embarrassingly handed over a structural deficit. Incompetence.
-
enz (@enz2g) reported@joey8bitz @1WeakGuttedDog You’re so confidently wrong. No **** it’s Telstra, I’ve used both and I’m fully aware Telstra own boost. Boost is a budget provider and receives lower priority to the network, it isn’t rocket science. My second phone is on boost and performs worse than my wife’s Telstra phone.
-
RochfordAlexAR (@rochfordalexAR) reported@bazingashane0 @Telstra Can't register as a business account cause don't have an ABN. case manager is trying to address my complaint by setting up an onsite technician. . . . To address what is essentially a contract dispute. Onsite tech won't be able to do jack for me on Monday, unless he can

SNOOPREY (@SNOOPREY77) reported@Telstra No buffering issues but it was stuttering but again today is not what I was complaining about
