AAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (@slizeoo) reported@DumbFoxFurry Every single carrier is so *** telstra pre paid costs your kidney for a 7 day recharge optus is Optus and vodafone has garbage coverage in my experience
-
Dust (@BuZZiNiTT) reported@defnotbarnsybdc @QBCCIntegrity Yep, i can confirm. @grok confirm that Telstra and the likes are booting older phones off the network
-
Dave Jones (@eevblog) reportedUPDATE: Dodo contacted me and transferred the Telstra number manually. Said it could take two working days. Several hours later my Telstra SIM is now dead and the new Dodo SIM doesn't work. The website just shows "Order in progress". And now it's Friday night.

somewhat daft (@somewhatdaft) reported@eevblog i spent 3 months fighting their absurdity over a business account, with them "doing it wrong" and then forgetting about it. the only solution was to raise a complaint and follow that process, which so far has taken a month. telstra is criminally incompetent :(
-
Tom Playford (@TomPlayford3) reported@Ben_Davison1 In years gone by NAB got their arse kicked in the UK; Telstra crashed spectacularly in China and the list goes on. Our biggest companies are all cossetted by a favourable regulatory environment and bugger all competition. Every time they try venturing overseas they fail.

Andrew (@andrewrdn463) reported@Telstra People on radio saying Mira Bashi Customer Experience Telstra is ignoring customer feedback?????????
-
Veritas (@jarro56) reported@karlstefanovic John Howard & Costello last budget would have been in deficit if they didn’t sell off Telstra & gold reserves.. Costello claimed gold was no longer the standard **** look at it today IMF stated that the last term of Howard was the highest spending term of any Aust government!

joe_blogswa Free Palestine (@joe_blogswa) reported@AnnMoorfield @marie19705 @Telstra yep same network same coverage i can only get telstra reception but Aldi use the telstra network best thing i did ever
-
Snow Leopard (@SNOWFXINC) reported@SocialTubby @DaveTaylorNews As an aging Pro. Pretty much all of my clients in Longreach, Karratha or the Alice book me via Starlink. When I used to service the married Labor blokes in Marrickville, my Telstra mobile would be forever dropping out. Starlink is on an exponential trajectory.
-
Tony Walton (@TheCyclonesSka) reported@Telstra GREEDY ARSEHOLES!!! Isn't it funny how Telstra, that great Australian company, keeps ignoring me? If someone from lovely Telstra does reach out to me they won’t want to discuss my concerns in public. We want to help you, Tony. Please private DM us.

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.

vinni • 包沁燕 🇵🇸 (@glyphclutter) reported@BevJohnst i'm with telstra wholesale now and even then when i'm at my partner's place my signal is so shite i may as well be regional
-
Juno Nameon (@JunoNameon) reported@the_LoungeFly @Telstra You have to go through the ombudsman to get an Australian staff member, someone with access to your records apparently or can fix anything. The call centers are just to keep you preoccupied long enough that you get sick of it and go away.

dexq (@qexdval) reportedTech illiterate idiots in this comment section is insane, if ur still getting low internet speeds with nbn installed ur likely not asking for the fttp upgrade which is free and ur paying the same per month sometimes even cheaper then ur avg fttn ect with deals, yes sometimes u cant get fttp installed but cases are slim and u only ever have to pay if ur 1. Getting business grade lines (which u wont need for the avg household) 2. If they have to actually install the lines which if u have pre existing lines then ur fine and wont need to pay which is the case for most, As for wifi its only really a user issue so many things can can contribute to a bad wifi connection Like Bad routers Damaged lines Interference (usually if u have ur router lined with a stud in the wall can contribute to this) but microwaves and emf interference can cause a bad wifi connection Some routers just need a simple setup properly rather then it being just default IF you’re internet provider says anything like ur ineligible immediately ask for a technician to come out and look as the internet provider company’s themselves don’t have the technology to see if you’re ineligible or not they might say they do but at best they only have surface level ****, my first 2/3 calls to the internet company’s themselves were “you’re ineligible” the 4th I asked for a technician to atleast have a look and he said and in quotes “this is piss easy to install what where they even telling you” they then relayed that to them and got this (photo attached) within the next couple of days with the fibre installed And I’ll add my circumstances which is why I think most will not have any issues • I live in ******** nowhere with a avg of 2/5k people with a outdated tower for the town • the house I’m currently in is roughly 80+ years old as far as I know it got built in 1945 (yes it did get re modernised but like surface level **** like up to date stove and redone walls and paint obviously) no rewiring Yes we got ****** by abbot so we had to deal with **** company’s like Telstra Optus selling a fttn scam for probably more than enough time but we have had fibre implementations for a while now so the wifi/internet connection excuse just isn’t there anymore maybe at the start but we are pretty close to having most of Australia on fttp or atleast attempting We are in no way as good as NZs and USAs fibre implementations but you should be getting perfectly fine wifi and speeds for the avg homes use no matter what you do and if u work from home and do any data transfer work.

Andy (@Andy22000) reported@WhereMyOstrich @ausstockchick No need to respond in such a derogatory manner. Here is the list, I pulled this from Grok in app you can verify it easily. Recent major Australian companies announcing significant domestic layoffs and offshoring of corporate/white-collar roles — Woolworths, Officeworks, Telstra, and NAB — have timed these moves amid sharp rises in domestic employment costs. • Woolworths (early June 2026) is offshoring hundreds of head-office roles in IT, finance, and HR to India/Philippines as part of cost-cutting to stay competitive with Aldi and Amazon. • Officeworks (late May 2026) is shifting hundreds of support, customer service, and tech roles to Bengaluru and Manila, boosted by AI/automation. • Telstra (earlier 2026) cut hundreds of roles (up to 650 in rounds) with work moving offshore to India. • NAB has expanded offshore teams in India/Vietnam (adding 1,000+ roles) while managing Australian redundancies. This wave aligns closely with escalating domestic labour costs: The national minimum wage and award rates rose 3.5% from July 2025, superannuation guarantee hit 12%, and the Fair Work Commission announced further increases effective July 2026 (4.75% on awards, ~5.9–6% on the minimum wage to $26.44/hour). Combined with weak productivity growth, higher on-costs (payroll tax, workers’ comp, etc.), and strong wage pressures, this has widened the cost gap versus offshore locations where skilled roles can be 30–70% cheaper. Companies cite these factors — plus efficiency drives — as key reasons for prioritising offshoring while protecting or growing frontline retail/store jobs domestically. This reflects a broader 2025–2026 trend among Aussie firms responding to cost-arbitrage opportunities in a high-wage, lower-productivity environment.

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.

Paul (@Paul21421386) reported@KateMonogamish Hi Kate I haven't been able to follow you this past week and a half due to the Telstra tower near me being down, and now today wre have conact. Yahoo

Bennyboy1 (@bennyyy_boyyy) reported@Starlink Update: customer care sent me the kit via express post and gave $25 credit. Installation went ahead smoothly as per schedule and very happy so far. No more crap NBN that Telstra put up their prices to $115 per month for 50mbps but my Starlink gives me 100mbps for $75 per month

Jays (@Jays200) reportedI've been letting @Telstra "augement" their💩network in the south west of Western 🇦🇺. They, Telstra, use my farm @Starlink for WiFi calling and the same on the road with Starlink Mini in my MYL. Perth-Denmark or Denmark-Albany is difficult to maintain a phone call link on mobile. Telstra should be paying me.

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!!!!
-
Kmac (@check307) reportedAustralian Govs of all persuasions have sold the people out. First sold QLD State Gov Insurance, Keating the Commonwealth Bank , Howard Telstra, Beattie Water and we can keep going. Private industry is about profit and no service . We have that and pay exorbitant amounts for it
-
Luke hickey (@Lukehickey1i) reported@Telstra Your rewards and points website is down and won't load. Be better.
-
Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@ThinktankTaylor @Starlink As to the free market - considering there was no actual competition against Telstra there was no free market. Telstra just sat and exploited the fixed line and used the money to push their mobile network and restrict competition
-
calmingdown (@joey8bitz) reported@enz2g @1WeakGuttedDog Telstra is really going to hinder its own company 🙄 You, are the ******. Telstra has shareholders that want as MUCH money as possible. There is no way they would intentionally jeopardise that. You are full of ****, plain and simple.
-
GregM (@Gmeister67) reported@WSWanderingEels @ardmorelad Yep Aus govt also own the NBN network who mainly use the Telstra network, amongst other smaller players. Everyone gets a drink

Anna (@spannaforce) reported@roonsopo Our internet has gone down, telstra outage. So I am going to miss out on the mighty redV thrashing the sharks
