-
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 seniorβs electric company it was so unreliable and bad it was a joke)
-
People of Internet (@PeopleOfNet) reportedThe real risk isn't SpaceX leaving β 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.

Chris Eastaughffe (AZ Vac done) (@Chris_E_Qld_Au) reportedINCOMPETENCE of Telstra knows no bounds! There is a "ringer" problem across Telstra network with copper landlines (exchange problem). They have marked it is FIXED to HIDE the absolute stuff up. I made a complaint about the LIES, INCOMPETENCE; FUCKWITS sent someone to test my line

slugger π΄β«οΈβͺοΈπ§ π¦πΊ (@saintslugger) reported@AFL @Telstra @essendonfc Poor prick
-
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.
-
Tolly π¦πΊ (@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
-
SNOOPREY (@SNOOPREY77) reported@Telstra Iβm concerned why I was getting 2-3 bars all week in town now Iβm at 3-4 I was losing connection to internet and having buffering issues running a speed test now doesnβt answer why I had poor reception throughout the week . Thatβs not what Iβm paying for
-
Dodgy Looks (@LooksDodgy) reported@robb_j_m Live out bush and had Satelite NBN - absolute crap - $89 pm. Telstra signal - absolute crap - $74 - 50Gig - pm. Swapped - Starlink - perfect internet and wifi calling - $139 pm - unlimited. Downgraded sim card to a cheap telstra operator - $25 pm. So total internet and phone went from $163 to $164 pm. That extra $1 quadrupled the speed and reception!
-
At least my dog loves me β€οΈππ©π»βπ¦° (@Tawnee69) reported@goldengreekjr @AshPolitik As PM, John Howard spearheaded a major privatization program, selling $71.8 billion in government assets between 1996 & 2007 to pay down national debt. Significant holdings sold included a majority stake in Telstra, shares in airports, shipping lines, and defence-related industry
-
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.
-
peter rowe (@Prowerock1) reported@AvidCommentator I have abandoned NBN. Service is atrocious as it is mediated through the Telcos. You canβt get to an NBN tech directly. They cancelled five appointments made for me via Telstra saying not an NBN problem. But it was just like the other three times. Now have Telstra 5 G. So simple
-
RochfordAlexAR (@rochfordalexAR) reported@bazingashane0 @Telstra The fact that my Download is fine, 100 Mbps download line speed (Actually 109 for some reason) I can run speed tests all day to Melbourne or Hobart and get near close to 100Mbps down (or a bit more thanks to the magic of multi mode connections)
-
Andrew (@andrewrdn463) reportedPeople on radio saying Mira Bashi Customer Experience Telstra is ignoring customer feedback?????????
-
π«πππππ πΊππππ π΄πππππππ π¦πΊ (@DanielSMatthews) reported@eevblog I have both, NBN service stability is far less than Starlink's, so it is my backup. I could probably push traffic through both, did that with Telstra and Optus cable modems back in the day, but Starlink is so fast I haven't needed to bother.
-
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 :(
-
Jean-Pierre YIN (@kalsue) reported@llelectronics @thesamuelnam Vodafone Network: Unlike Telstra and Optus, offers a 90-day grace period for international visitors with non-compliant phones. If you use a Vodafone local SIM or purchase a travel eSIM that specifically runs on the Vodafone Australia network, your phone will work normally.
-
Pat Caplice (@tassiepatrat) reported@robb_j_m $90 a month. NBN Wireless through Telstra. Good service. Few faults. 6 person house so many devices.
-
vinni β’ ε ζ²η π΅πΈ (@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
-
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.
-
Jason Cefai (@CefaiJason) reported@robb_j_m everyone ******* moaned and kniffed Rudd in the back they then sold it off to telstra because this stupid government doesn't know how to create money they only know how to Tax
-
Dawn Compliance (@DawnCompliance) reportedTelstra shares are weird cos a while back I noticed how they sold their towers, restructured fixed network into a separate asset company gradually exited legacy copper So became the ****** middleman with outrageous customer service they should rename themselves β******* Telstraβ
-
Ross (@ross_1956) reported@FOXFOOTY can we have subtitles or the Telstra interpreter service with this commentary?
-
Dominic Villa SC (@DominicVillaSC) reported@dowhatonemustdo @Telstra I was on a plane so couldn't use that service. But having been told it was either because of my plan or because of my modem, they then said they could just activate it at their end...which they could have done 4 hours ago
-
Jay Jay (@JayJay1094727) reported@lightgolightly @AlanBixter @Telstra When you have tech trouble in Thailand, do you have to negotiate with an ai chat bot?
-
Catherine (@catherinemary0) reported@AlanBixter @Telstra The troubles our poor telecommunications infrastructure caused during Ausfires few years ago, I can personally attest to,
-
Gus Lefty Aussie Patriot (@GusLefty) reported@arbsmichael Howard left a $55bn Gross debt Howard gave us tax cuts to offset the cost of the 'never happen' GST he introduced He invested the money from the sale of Telstra to start the Future Fund
-
Grok (@grok) reported@chatzi41 @iSpeedtestOS That's the iOS 26.5 update adding end-to-end encrypted RCS (beta) support on Apple's side. In Australia it still requires carrier activation from Telstra, Optus or Vodafone β they're not live yet. Rollout still looking like mid-to-late 2026. Toggle should appear in Messages once your carrier enables it.
-
Lemming. (@Lt_Lemming) reportedHey @Telstra it's ever so slightly stupid that when in the chat in your own app I try to enter the IMEI of my device as asked for by your consultant... that the app blocks me from sending it to them. I get that you're trying to protect my information... but this is just stupid!
-
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
-
π₯MydogsTessπΆπΆ (@Vanessapaterso6) reported@tomdflynn I am. We just changed from Telstra wireless which cost us $110 a month with crappy service to Starlink. We are happy with the speed, just a little annoyed as they put the price up from $69 to $75 in the first month. Still cheaper and faster.
