🇦🇺Leoo 🗻 (@OCELeoo) reported@SamuelLalor22 @AFL @Telstra Changing the subject now are ya Exactly what I thought poor ****
-
sportsindustry (@footyindustryAU) reported@WSWanderingEels @leigheustace AFL Media/Broadcast =/= NRL Digital/Broadcast in terms of line items. Telstra have rights to the AFL website network, its replays and highlights
-
enz (@enz2g) reported@joey8bitz @1WeakGuttedDog Using the network doesn’t mean they get the same priority and boost speeds are also capped otherwise there would be no benefit going with Telstra and paying more. I get what you’re trying to say but your comprehension is terrible.
-
Mike Sharpe (@VMaxF1) reported@Telstra How does the assessment process work? U&P doesn't apply from what I can see in that link, but a (very expensive) device appears to have basic paint/coating flaking issues, which should be able to be resolved.

andy lai (@andylaiz88) reported@Telstra @LiauwEllen you phone 'support' team HANGS UP ! I guess your staff are meeting their call 'quotas' 🤡

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.

GregM (@Gmeister67) reported@WSWanderingEels True, Notice how this season Kayo started buffering on most NRL games. How to fix it, upgrade your internet plan. Guess who owns half of Kayo Telstra. Just another gouging ponzi scheme. They dont care for the players the clubs the game. Its all about profits.
-
jfly (@jasonfly) reported@pelli_69 @Optus @Telstra Maybe try Superloop. I was with Tesltra for 20+ years, and switched to Superloop. cheaper for higher speeds and I’ve had no issues with them for a the year since I switched.

JimBobSquarePants 🇺🇦 (@James_M_South) reported@Telstra been stuck on mobile internet for 2 days now in Peregian Springs. Have reported fault yesterday evening but only outage listed is a closed from yesterday morning. What gives?
-
Antony (@Antony_Collins) reported@Telstra you absolutely suck. Both my kids are overseas (18 and 20) and one is out of data and I can’t add more for both. I’ve been talking to Telstra for 8 hours and still no outcome. My daughter has no data left: Telstra suggested we get a 3rd party ESIM. The Worst Telco EVER.

John Clements (@kc9on) reported@eevblog You can check out any time you like but you can never leave. Welcome to the cell phone Telstra Mobile.......

Paradoxa (@Paradoxa18) reportedOK the rain was good but why is the phone out? first rain in a while might have taken out the landline or rats or termites be in a right pickle if the mobile were network blocked as it was for a while hey @Telstra can't dm on the new phone the "network" demanded I buy
-
Ms Meh (@ms_meh) reported@maher_aaron @wwos You Telstra 'em! Though they'll probably tell you it's a Youi problem that you don't like how the coverage is 99c delivered.
-
Julie Burgess (@julieburgess623) reported@Telstra for 5 days now we have been unable to watch Foxtel as our internet speed is 4.49 as per their consultant. We have contacted NBN who told us to contact Telstra. The person there said the problem is our modem which it is not. We need a solution please Telstra.
-
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.
-
Mike Hutchinson (@michaeljames947) reportedJust been asked to complete an oxymoron. A Telstra customer satisfaction survey. Reminded me of a 1980s Telecom survey that found customers hated them, leads to a management recommendation to educate customers…(who they called “subscribers”)
-
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

SJP (@SJPtweets) reported@telstra I was paying $80 per month and after contacting customer services, I am suddenly paying $84????? There was no warning of a price increase

𝐇𝐓𝐀𝐑𝚰𝐇𝐂 🌈🏳️🌈☀️ (@Raptor_54321) reported@_Testflight_ Came to see if it finally popped and was put out of its misery. Stayed for an actually good Telstra ad I’ve never seen before
-
SNOOPREY (@SNOOPREY77) reported@Telstra All I’m saying is maybe Telstra and other telco multi billion dollar companies should charge accordingly and stop using every capitalistic ***** trick to overcharge for normal service . Anyhow have a good day
-
Tania 😷🧸 (@tdeb007) reported@gomichild Never mind that my back injury is what forced me from retail into admin, and I’d been doing purchasing and sales admin for years. I kept having to remind her I wasn’t obligated to apply for random jobs, and I certainly wasn’t going to apply for a job interview a Telstra shop!
-
D.J. Grey (@akintowarlock) reportedDear @telstra? What do you make of this? The fact that apparently you are to be seen as selling a paying customer down the river for not only the last year and half but the next 6+ months as well? Can you believe @TelstraAU did this ? ~ December James Grey.
-
Steven Payne (@CmonMick) reported@meshygrey And then we sold CommBank, Qantas, Medibank, Telstra, CSL, Syd/Melb Airports and most of our energy and water assets because govts are big bad meanies and private corporations we're going to take us to the promise land🫤
-
jayzco (@jayzcoz) reported@gasugasu1984 I’ve used Belong premium, $95/mth, 100/17mbps. FTTN. They use Telstra service. Northern VIC. I find the speed ok for (tv) streaming, but lm not using any video computer development software. I haven’t done a speed test. Likely cheaper services available.
-
SnowmanNFT (@NftSnowman) reported@NicFromOz They use Telstra wholesale network, coverage shouldn’t change from what you have now, 4G, no 5G, I have used them, changed to Superloop though, tied in with NBN plan for bundle discount.

y (@yuyan497) reported@Samantha7ey it's the telstra network 😭

𝕻𝖗𝖎𝖓𝖈𝖊𝖘𝖘 𝕾𝖐𝖞𝖑𝖆𝖗𝖚𝖘𝖎 © (@skylarusi) reported@the_LoungeFly @Telstra 2/2 ...regarding my plan's data He claimed I'd been paying $50/mth 4 3MB of data I contacted Telstra via FB They must have told him He wasn't happy When he finally contacted tech support to fix it he listened in while I was giving feedback I reported that breach of privacy on FB

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 :(

₿ 💥 (@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
