    I wish I had been at the lunch out on by the Ad Agency that sold the latest TV commercial to @Telstra (the stupid cartoon one). 🙄

    Telstra plan increasing again even though the service is worse than when I first joined up with that plan.

    @Telstra Is the online support / chat on the website fried? It's cut me off three times now. Another price hike, the second in 10 months with $2-2.3 BILLON profit a year?

  • Bundellafella
    Drew Campbell (@Bundellafella) reported

    @Telstra No it’s not sorted. The mobile tower ran out of battery during a power outage last night. Power is restored but the mobile coverage is still down.

    imagine arranging a disconnection of internet service only to be told that they can arrange connection of an embedded network when they actually can’t, just do as you are asked instead of ignoring the request, Telstra at its best

    @techAU I attended a conference where the head of the Australian Signal Directorate gave an overview of Cybersecurity risks. He noted circa >64k known vulnerabilities. I wouldn’t wait for it to become a headline… I will be removing all TP-Link, Netgear (Telstra smart modem) from service in my home. Roborock vacuum will need a replacement too, I am looking for a suggestion on that front.

    @accent_trace @ktdenise I think I had a minor mental glitch I did the calc using 24 months out of habbit, so yeah it’s more like only 500 a year cheaper, still hard to find an actual benefit to Optus/Telstra’s over priced plans. 10 years ago, you’d get an iPhone and service for $40 a month.

    Anyone else’s Telstra Movile Data reception off/slow today in Melbourne? Not just me but also my friend. What’s going on and be honest with me… @Telstra

    I'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. 🤬🤬

    @Piiiiickles We switched to Aussie after appalling service & constant issues with Telstra. Superloop are ok too (I used them when I was on my own & there were some issues but always well communicated and resolved quickly).

    This is something I agree with. @Telstra your “lock in contracts” are the worst…you’re on notice.

    @IceStationSpmda @fag_daughter Telstra has been paid for decades to provide a payphone service it cost more to fix vandalism then Telstra collected in call revenue, it's simply cheaper to make it free

    And Telstra support said it was a fault, after a hour and a half of trouble shooting. I checked NBN and looks like a service outage in our area - checked a couple of addresses in our road. How long do these usually take to resolve? I was looking forward to a good long weekend :(

    @Telstra Personal i tried to do as you suggested got a txt msg saying my requests was not able to delivered on called your help centre they sent me a link filled in information now have to wait 5 days. TPG did it straight away all the way back to when I opened an account with them

    @AlboMP And if Telstra were repairing lines in the bush instead of letting them rot while they "roll-out the NBN", I might even take advantage of it. But they're not, so the Service Agreement isn't being honoured, the TIO won't do anything, & no one gives a damn. So thanks for nothing!

    @mwfowlie @Telstra Telstra has been patchy in our area for a while now. Gonna have to port. Can’t justify this rate for trash service. 13Mbps down at 71ms at best.

    @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.

    @Mr_Fanta_Pants @jagjetfly @Telstra You’re not the only one in the Southern Phone pulling the landline plug problem in rural areas boat either. Last hope, chat to your local Federal MP’s office and get them involved in a solution.

    .@Telstra You know, it would be great if people would be notified of NBN work and interruptions at least BEFORE the internet is no longer working! I got a notification AFTER the service was restored!

    @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?
