SNOOPREY (@SNOOPREY77) reported@Telstra Again I was having the issues through the week of completely losing internet for short periods . My question at the time was why as I checked and there were no outages . Yes it’s seems better today but I’m not asking about today

cat 💜🇵🇸🩷 (@feedthecath) reported@Flawless_Sports @AFL @Telstra Robey is the worst option of the 4 lol
-
Pat Fenis (@BigStrawDog) reported@kai_h @algorithmsayshi Thinking either the eero modems have a built in VPN I cannot locate n disable or the router detecting Telstra AND AGL is causing it to not trust our IP. Also unsure why NBA would care if we are in Syd or melb as far as licensing issues as it's the same market. Frustrating.

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
-
Jayden (@Ballzzzz16) reported@Telstra @Optus So you’re no help either, will be cancelling all Telstra plans and moving to Optus in the morning
-
Jumbarrawa (@jumbarrawa) reported@SocialPiranha3 @Telstra That amaysim has one good thing, a cheap esim that lets people txt you .. all of them run fom telstra lines. And yet Telstra is stooging everyone. I don't get a dollar back every time they dont have a service I pay for. why they get to jam prices up ? like owning a pizza shop and maybe give you a whole pizza. telstra can get fuked. 115 a month for service that has dropped how many times in last month .. they should be at ACCC

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
-
Jayden (@Ballzzzz16) reported@Telstra no internet or 5g in my area since very early Saturday morning, called up support and your support doesn’t even know there is a problem and can’t give general timeframe for a fix, beyond a joke @Optus might be getting some new customers very soon
-
💦Lynton G (@charger189) reported@JOKAQARMY1 Telstra in Australia is pushing 6G by 2030 they have been deliberately lowering the bandwidth so people demand a better service

JimBobSquarePants 🇺🇦 (@James_M_South) reported@Telstra I have an outage reported via SMS yet no info on the outages site. Peregian Springs. Why?
-
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!!!!

⚡🏳️⚧️⛓️Θ Aunty ⚢ Vic Δ⛓️🇦🇺⚡️ (@Vic_Maidenless) reported@Dycbf1 The redeeming thing about them being on the telstra network and and being cheap
-
Benwah (@earthmanben) reported@SkullSpeedDeal lots of my mates were over the moon when they got a job with Telecom/Telstra because it was a lifetime secure job but that job security changed as it became more professional (like Allen senior’s electric company it was so unreliable and bad it was a joke)

Andrew (@andrewrdn463) reported@JimThom90458694 People on radio saying Mira Bashi Customer Experience Telstra is ignoring customer feedback?????????
-
JimBobSquarePants 🇺🇦 (@James_M_South) reported@Telstra Your customer service team are disgusting. They mixed up NBN and Optimcomm and not one person answered a single question I asked. Absolutely disgusting. I want to raise a formal complaint.

Jumbarrawa (@jumbarrawa) reported@SocialPiranha3 @Telstra They sell chunks of lines to other companies that sell the lines cheaper. and offer better service how is that possible >

₿ 💥 (@teslantir) reportedGoogle + Telstra announced an Australia/ APAC connectivity partnership for Al-era workloads. Google will secure inter-city dark fiber capacity on Telstra's Aura Network, and Telstra will access fiber pairs on Google's Tabua, Proa, and Bulikula subsea cable systems. Telstra says Aura already has 8,000+ km laid. $GOOG

Dave Jones (@eevblog) reportedTrying to switch from Telstra mobile. For the life of me I cannot find the required account number to port my account. I used to have an account number but Telstra switched me to from post paid to pre paid somehow and now I don't get a bill, only a receipt which doesn't have an account number on it. Cannot find it online in my account. Grok says dial *#150# which doesn't work. Anyone got any idea?
-
Devil's Avocado (@CaptHughBeard) reported@Telstra I'm an Aussie working in the US for a few years. I keep my Aussie mobile account paid for when I come home to visit. Can you please explain how mobile data charges are higher with you in Australia, compared to my US cell service on mobile roaming?
-
SNOOPREY (@SNOOPREY77) reported@Telstra Right now I’m in the city centre out in the open in a carpark and only 2 bars reception, you have to admit that’s terrible
-
Tolly 🇦🇺 (@TolsonKiefer) reported@stevehearne7 @arbsmichael @Marilynrules1 A portion of Telstra was sold for $45b and the rest put into the future fund, totalling $54b+. Telstra is worth $62b right now. This was an excellent deal for Australia. Kevin Rudd introducing the NBN has nothing to do with Howard and Costello and it was also only $11b. Idiot
-
Brendon Patterson - My Wife & I are PRGuy (@Brendon5374) reported@DanielWeisman5 how are large private corporations any different with service? Complained to Telstra lately? Qantas? One of the major reasons public hospital have a huge waiting list at emergency is because private clinics close early, and are fairly useless and always sending patients there.
-
Jordan Wardle (@JordanWardle5) reported@theinfradev @ruicharadrius I'm not revising history. The plan was fttp everywhere, with Telstra and optus copper being bought out to move them to the NBN. The copper was never going to be used for the NBN. Look at the Telstra definitive agreements from 2011.
-
Sam (@nursesrock25) reported@Telstra @ABHawks1 @Telstra I’m having the same problem
-
LWright (@wright_l90101) reported@ajbott @Telstra Population growth has overwhelmed the Telstra towers in lots of areas I am told, congestion causing a lot of the problems. I have been told towers are being upgraded over last 2 weeks but I imagine it is a slow process.
-
Robyn (@RobynAMilne) reported@arbsmichael Howard sold off flogged off Telstra even though he told us only half & then came back for the rest, he wasted the mining boom. Oh, and Howard’s crowning glory was to flog off our gas for a song so we pay exorbitant prices for decades. Howard a major fail even Costello agreed.

Mr musk ⭐️🇺🇸🚀 (@Mrmuskh4l5l) reported@c__future6 This is how the whole thing started when I sent $500 for a VIP Telstra Tesla membership card and never got the Tesla I won! That was my fault and now you’re trying to make this my fault I would think two guys working for Elon Musk would be a little bit smarter than this.
-
AL (@asewell6) reported@Optus what disgraceful experience. Into the second day of trying to upgrade my internet. @Telstra do you want a new customer?
-
ichi (@ichimikichiki) reported@Lisa9Sophia He's just an idiot. Remember when he added double the cost to the NBN because he wanted to use broken copper network in a corruption deal to bail out Telstra / Rupert Murdoch.
