    @AlanBixter Ahh yes, the joys of having every Telstra support person go through the same failed script (re-start modem, check cables, blah, blah...) & then sending a new modem - which still doesn't fix the problem 😡. I have quite the collection now.

    @Telstra what the hell is going on with the mobile phone infrastructure in the Coonamble area? For over a week now, havent been able to have a complete conversation with my Dear Friend. Keeps dropping out. Its the 21st Century for smegs sake! Get your **** together!

    @estratgen My internet is ok apart from being slow and expensive but I get the same with 5g. Constantly dropping and reconnecting every half hour or so. So much for paying more so I can have Telstra because it's "more reliable"

    Why is phone reception so poor at @TheAdelaideOval can be a MCG with 80000 or Marvel with 50000 and have phone reception yet Adelaide Oval with 30 to 40k reception is ****. Every since Telstra stopped sponsorship of the plaza.

    @AugusteReign @belinduhpyne @Ryandally08 Opportunity lost. This is a major problem with privatisation Federal Government owned and operated COR etc Oz was a mixed economy once which gave Oz a high standard of living L/NP wants taxpayers to pay for nuclear. Where are Oz true entrepreneurs? CBA, Telstra, CSL etc etc gone

    @jasuperfund @mark16pg We know, they sold us down the river too. Howard with the mass immigration, selling Telstra and everything. Then Turncoat with all the metadata laws, now morphing into full surveillance and ID scans etc. Morrison with the covid scam.

    @BassonBrain @Jessdistrict11 @SpaceX I live 10km from the ocean, between two major cities. No phone signal in many many locations on our major highways. Cannot send a text while talking on the phone. I have two Telstra numbers, highest cost plan. Without Starlink mini mounted in everyone of our commercial cars, no comms. Australia has no world class highway connecting cities. Has no coastal phone network or fast internet. It’s 2026 and I though I would be in a flying car, reality is I cannot make a call and text simultaneously.

  • FarCanall
    Far Canal 😏 (@FarCanall) reported

    Really unsure, but I’ve seen the same sort of buffoons rise to the top at Aust Post, Telstra, etc. The phrase “**** floats to the Top” is pretty common in Govt Industies. Good thing is, once they get there, their incompetence is exposed for all to see. Nowhere to hide.

    @odden56 @thedose__ Telstra is awful, Australia has some of the worst internet speed for any developed country.

    It is OK @kayo It casts well from the phone. I suspect using 5G. So it is possibly a @Telstra server problem.

    I am going to be sharing tips and tricks to help people save money on subscriptions and telecommunications. First piece of advice is stay away from @Telstra as they are well over priced and they will lie to you to gain your business. I have proof. #MoneyManagement

  • AlanBixter
    Alan Baxter ♛ (@AlanBixter) reported

    Usually @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.

    @Telstra I can not sign into your app as I already have an account, but it's attached to a defunct email. Please help.

  • brozovicbasic
    Katarina Brozovic+ (@brozovicbasic) reported

    Australians have a social contract with Australia Post and Telstra, to provide an equitable service across our whole country, regardless of how remotely and away from the eastern capitals people live and work. If the Minister can't ensure that, then resign!

  • paulcashmere
    Paul Cashmere (@paulcashmere) reported

    @markbouris "no national debt .. yep zero" because he sold over $70 billion in public assets to pay down government debt, with major privatizations including Telstra (approx. 49% in 97-99), the remaining Commonwealth Bank shares, all major federal airports, and the National Rail Corporation.

    @disco___cat You can use boost mobile which is Telstra though a little cheaper. I'm with Vodafone now and yes you do notice the service drop compared to Telstra

    @AlanBixter I’m not a hater but I can’t decide if I hate Medibank Private or Telstra / NBN more? Telstra / NBN sent 15 techies to fix our Internet problem & many phone calls all while our kids doing Uni exams & 1 wtg for cardiac surgery. Stress ++ Good luck Alan coz you’ll need it 🙏

    I’ll second this. I note Albanese has no issue shackling the ALP’s NBN around our necks despite Telstra either.

    @FunkleberryTwit No, Howard's "non-core promises" were philosophically driven, not a response to a worsening situation. They included vows to "never ever" introduce a GST, not cut Medicare services, not to privatise Telstra, and that workers' take-home pay would not be affected, then WorkChoices

    EmptyJr⭐️🔭🐝 (COMMS-Closed) (@Empty_jr) reported

    And I am on Telstra but they're price gouging and they Suck and I did attempt after their last price hike to leave but it's like. Oh if you are in a regional area literally noone else can help you. I see. Think there's a word for that that rhymes with schmonopoly

    @BrilliantMaps As a Canadian who has never been there: Qantas, Macquarie, BHP, Telstra and a couple of banks are the only names that ring a bell.

    @MacFlashmanInc @markbouris @Rocket60271713 This **** **** sold Telstra, the airports and our gold reserves for a once off surplus & no govt was able balance the budget for 20 years because of his economic vandalism This filth should be in a cell with Costello

    @Empty_jr Like I was In Cloncurry for a week a few years back and I got **** service (even while on Telstra) when I travelled to Cloncurry to Mount Isa.
