TheGrassman (@TheGrassmanVT) reported@Telstra For many moons my internet connectivity has been of an unstable condition, the mighty 5G network cutting out frequently which proves to be troublesome, especially during my prospects of entertaining an online audience.

LifeWithBeard™ (@ayyyitspete) reported@mikjcal @kpmuddle @Mr_Fanta_Pants Voda did a network sharing deal with Optus so they get all of Optus' rural coverage & Optus gets access to Voda's towers & fibre in areas Optus don't have a presence to install their radio gear and build out their network. Optus does very well vs Telstra in regional these days.

David J O'Brien 🌏💧 (@DaveONewcastle) reported@rooboy_18 @Telstra @BelongAU Nice- Inflationary effect, cost of living incr' + them charging more for decreasing standards of service provision, sure makes #Telstra look like greedy, divisive, heavy hitting #CorporateVultures.

Karl Pharks 🇦🇺 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 (@Karl_Pharks) reported@MarcScottEmery @happyjas When big corporates (like Telstra) outsourced their call centres to India, two things happened immediately. 1) The customer records databases were stolen, and 2) Scam call centres opened up, calling all the customers and attempting to scam them. The big corporates were never held accountable, but they directly caused the Indian scammer tsunami that hit Australia.

-
Jackson To (@jacksonto888) reported@EFTM “Good time to bury bad news moment” kind of timing. Does it mean Telstra didn’t have the money before to improve services in prior years due to technology changes?
-
Steph McG (@oohaah_67) reported@Telstra now it’s a joke hey! Hamlyn Terrace and surrounding areas without 5G for the last couple of days. If you can’t fix or find the fault how about deploying mobile towers. Not everyone has NBN connectivity.

Man With A Stick (@bludgeonParagon) reported@ashleycanttweet Social media truly signal boosts the most negative people these days because I remember back when I was playing a ton of Horizon 3, and as an Australian I don't recall people online ever being so miserable. I was just marvelling at the wheelie bins and Telstra phone booths lmao

Marko Matvikov (@MarkoMatvikov) reported@OTheChad Telstra is about as bad a company as I’ve ever had the displeasure of dealing with. All care, no responsibility.
-
Trek Trav (@TripTrav1985) reported@Theblackfemini3 Howard SOLD everything. Telstra, Qantas, all of it. The reason we rely so heavily on income tax now is because of Howard. The reason we have trouble paying back debt is Howard. Read history.
-
Mel (@its_me_mel_xx) reportedI'm almost done with @Telstra. Two months in a row I've had bill problems with Foxtel by Telstra. I tried to cancel it a couple weeks ago but they gave me a good discount. Get new bill today, discount applied BUT the price of it went up, wiping out the discount. 🤬🤬

-
MetOshi (@met_oshi) reported@RealMetroLounge @WindsorDebs You should take one look at what Telstra did to both the cellular network and our internet infrastructure. Telstra were still offering capped data when other companies had unlimited; Telstra denied uncapped data could exist
-
There’s Only One Jezza (@StandMeOver) reported@herecomessuper And don’t forget the useless **** is the one who gave us NBN. That basically created another government run Telstra. For a technology that was never required.
-
Electric Future (@electricfuture5) reported@karlos_hagen @Telstra 5G network access. Download speeds are capped at 150Mbps on 4G and 5G - Unfortunately they don't get the same access as resellers, data is deprioritised
