    @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.

  • met_oshi
    MetOshi (@met_oshi) reported

    @RealMetroLounge @WindsorDebs Optus and Vodafone had to rely on Telstra, since Telstra owned the network. It wasn't until the government set up a service and bought back the network that things started to change

  • B4H4R_F
    Bahar 🇮🇷🇦🇺 (@B4H4R_F) reported

    I’m paying over $150 to @Telstra and $75 to @Origin for internet, yet I can’t even share a simple story about Iran. Telstra and Origin, you’re the worst. If I’m paying this much and still getting blocked or restricted, what exactly am I paying for? I’ll be cancelling tomorrow! Even if it costs me. This is unacceptable.

    @MarkAClarkson @Telstra I left Telstra years ago and not going back unless they are the only one left in the market. Telstra is the most expensive service provider in the world. They are also not honest about the blackspot in many parts of remote areas.

    We pay like a $150 a month for the premium of Telstra mobile and it doesn’t even work immediately when out NBN drops. What are we even paying extra for? Fix your trash Telstra 😡😡 @Telstra

  • clarkes
    Clarkie. It's the vibe of it. (@clarkes) reported

    @Mr_Fanta_Pants @Telstra Aldi uses Telstra network. We have had it for 10 years. No issues. Unused Data rolls over and over.

    @TimjboAU This idiot sold our gold reserves & Telstra. We had to buy it back with shares. Didn't have the courage to lead the Libs.

  • its_me_mel_xx
    Mel (@its_me_mel_xx) reported

    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. 🤬🤬

    @Telstra Why is the internet not working in Cranbourne this morning? Says planned works for 4G/5G but nothing about home internet.

  • loftwah
    Loftwah (@loftwah) reported

    @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.

    @odden56 @thedose__ Telstra is awful, Australia has some of the worst internet speed for any developed country.

  • Frafflee
    Madge (@Frafflee) reported

    @Telstra you send me a bill. I want to open it on my phone. But no I have to sign in. I don’t want to. I shouldn’t have to. No other utility provider has the hoops you put in place. Just like they allow payment via a payment portal not via their website. Do better.

    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 I can not sign into your app as I already have an account, but it's attached to a defunct email. Please help.

    @RayJCapo79 I got eSIM when I changed over to Woolworths Mobile last week. Just need to ensure you turn off the Telstra Sim or it will keep looking for it and your battery power goes down hill. Was easy as to set up.

    Bye bye @Telstra Using a horrible climate to money grab even more. Phone, internet the whole lot is going.

    Katarina Brozovic+ (@brozovicbasic) reported

    Australians have a social contract with Australia Post and Telstra, to provide an equitable service across our whole country, regardless of how remotely and away from the eastern capitals people live and work. If the Minister can't ensure that, then resign!

    @electricfuture5 @Telstra I’ve been with everyday mobile (Woolies) for a few years. Cheap, Telstra network and nill issues. I can swing you a referral code if you need

    I am going to be sharing tips and tricks to help people save money on subscriptions and telecommunications. First piece of advice is stay away from @Telstra as they are well over priced and they will lie to you to gain your business. I have proof. #MoneyManagement

    @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.

    @AlboMP Stop with the cover up **** show and do your job people voted you in to do! This country is been ****** by corrupt corporate companies. Coles , Bunnings ,Telstra , fuel stations, list goes on and you are making bull up dust news. StJohns care centres can’t even give iv meds.

    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.
