    @RichardTheLegit @robb_j_m Leaptel. All the big RSPs are terrible because they know they get customers just because of the name. Leaptel typically outperforms Telstra even during peak periods.

    @bazingashane0 @Telstra My case manager is lovely. Very polite, very professional. Genuinely wants to help. I can't fault the excellent customer service. Still has piss poor reading comprehension though. I feel sorry for the poor sod, I have twenty years in I.T. and communications, a lot of it

    @Mac80277103 @JP__75 Howard shifted policies. He said GST would never be part of his Gov’s policies at the ‘98 election, then introduced it in ‘00. He said no Work choices then introduced it. No Telstra same then sold it. This is different to a gov seeing housing get harder so they made a change.

    @KymRob25112 No idea in Qld. But in Sydney Telstra has sadly become the only option. The complete mess up with triple zero calls ( carrier errors) no mistake in that. The tower's aren't coping with this change. Regional with fewer options. That's harsh. Hope 🙏

    @Telstra why is my site blocked on your network!!! I have contacted Telstra soo many times with every worker Ive spoken to tell me to fill in a form and wait… this is costing my business money!!!

    @kai_h @algorithmsayshi Tried this, it has us located in Sydney for some reason. While the modem was updating the DNS it restarted and my phone connected back to our old Telstra net which had us accurately located in Victoria. Def AGL/eero issue from troubleshooting

    @belinduhpyne @AshPolitik @kazza264 When I worked at Telstra they told us that 40 percent of small businesses didn't survive their first year, After dealing with their billing issues for a decade I wondered how it wasn't 80 precent. No other job requires zero qualifications and has no rules of how to operate.

    @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 :(

    @Jason______A @the_don1722 The difference will be the level of support you get etc. have similar setups here where telstra (t mobile in Aus) own budget mobile companies. And you get pretty much the same package for much cheaper but lose access to their support etc.

    @AlboMP They also forced companies such as Telstra to sell me down the river, giving them unsolicited access to every single bit of what I do online 24/7. I remind you I have absolutely no criminal record. And even access the databases of the government, any and all legal forms I ever interacted with or approached or even considered, even supermarket transactions and camera data are delved into by them, posting the contents online ridiculing, mocking and insulting them. Even though they are the ones who have actively across the board disadvantaged me to a point of non-survival.

    @diss_presso @robb_j_m There was no free market competition before because of Telstra. The substandard part of the network is slowly being replaced as people sign up for the free fibre upgrade

    @sydney_ev Actually it has been failing across remote Australia for decades. Telstra has unreliable network coverage as the middle of Australia can not have enough sunshine for their solar for days.

    @ajbott @Telstra Population growth has overwhelmed the Telstra towers in lots of areas I am told, congestion causing a lot of the problems. I have been told towers are being upgraded over last 2 weeks but I imagine it is a slow process.

    @joey8bitz @1WeakGuttedDog Holy **** you’re dumb. Boost is a budget provider, they are never going to give you the same PRIORITY as you’d get with Telstra otherwise the people that pay twice the amount would be getting the same service No one with boost is expecting the same speeds and priority

    @robb_j_m LNP stopped the original rollout of a national fiber network to buy back the copper network from telstra they sold to telstra in the 90s in an utterly deranged move that blew out costs and rollout time..

    @Trev__Says @susan_taylor07 @cjoye None of them would have been profit making assets. Telstra would have been a big slow behemoth that got pants’d by Optus and Vodafone. Our gas wouldn’t have been developed - it took 15 years from sale to production. And we would have been paying huge amounts of interest.

    @kai_h @algorithmsayshi Thinking either the eero modems have a built in VPN I cannot locate n disable or the router detecting Telstra AND AGL is causing it to not trust our IP. Also unsure why NBA would care if we are in Syd or melb as far as licensing issues as it's the same market. Frustrating.

    @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!

    @bazingashane0 @Telstra Can't register as a business account cause don't have an ABN. case manager is trying to address my complaint by setting up an onsite technician. . . . To address what is essentially a contract dispute. Onsite tech won't be able to do jack for me on Monday, unless he can
