Michael Abbott (@AgentAbbey) reported@Telstra Doncaster internet outages. Any customer credits for inconvenience on a busy Sat

Brian Basson (@BassonBrain) reported🇦🇺 Australia: Telstra said over 200,000 of its mobile customers connect to @Starlink satellites each day! ...and over 2.7 million customers have connected at least once since launch A Telstra spokesperson said that customer uptake is "exciting", but the real-world impact is more important. "What stands out to us the most is not the numbers themselves, but what they represent," said the spokesperson. "A message home from a remote road, a quick check-in during a trip away, or peace of mind in places beyond the range of our mobile network."

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.

calmingdown (@joey8bitz) reported@1WeakGuttedDog Boost or JBHIFI cheaper and on Telstra network. Real no brainer. Vodafone unreliable.
-
Joanne Jones (@JoanneJ37319580) reportedThe telecommunications industry needs a closer look by the Australian ombudsman or whoever regulates fees being taken for service not provided. Telcos with phone only service centres overseas are in the perfect position to rip people off under the banner of Optus/Telstra.

People of Internet (@PeopleOfNet) reportedThe real risk isn't SpaceX leaving — 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.

enz (@enz2g) reported@joey8bitz @1WeakGuttedDog You’re so confidently wrong. No **** it’s Telstra, I’ve used both and I’m fully aware Telstra own boost. Boost is a budget provider and receives lower priority to the network, it isn’t rocket science. My second phone is on boost and performs worse than my wife’s Telstra phone.

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.

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?
-
oneonethreeinvesting (@113investing) reported@_shanmoho @hasselljpb @Telstra They 'upgraded' to 5G down here last year and killing the 4G network in the process. Hahahaha .Had to switch to a different provider.

Andrew (@andrewrdn463) reportedPeople on radio saying Mira Bashi Customer Experience Telstra is ignoring customer feedback?????????

Overgrown Dwarf 🏴🏴🇦🇺 (@OvrgrwnDwrf) reported@Telstra So my internet has an issue. You send me a message to go to MyTelstra to chat with a rep. My modem is in back up mode and wont load MyTelstra, so I try hotspotting off my Telstra phone. But your coverage is so sporadic that it won't even count as "connected."
-
Francis McF (@FrancisMcF1O) reportedWorking in regional NSW today and only @Telstra users could make calls. Optus: no signal. Vodafone: non‑existent. 2026 and we still don’t have a shared rural network? When one telco holds all the coverage, it’s not a choice - it’s a monopoly. #WakeUpAustralia #NannyStateNSW
-
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”)

Bri 🧑🦯🌻|| SUPPORT 🍉🍉🍉 (@BHanchen) reportedYo Aussies anyone else with telstra (or companies that use their network, like belong) having issues with data?? Woke up this morning and the wifi wasn't working, turned on my data and... that wasn't working either. And my roommate's data isn't working either
-
Juno Nameon (@JunoNameon) reported@the_LoungeFly @Telstra You have to go through the ombudsman to get an Australian staff member, someone with access to your records apparently or can fix anything. The call centers are just to keep you preoccupied long enough that you get sick of it and go away.

“Sash” Emmanuelle Somerset-Beauverie (@chicpussykat) reported@KensingtonRoyal @KensingtonRoyal Telstra made cust service jobs outsourced. 2010 Me then no more job $0,can’t afford gym,back on dole! Menopause worsened & mental traumas! I’m now on Disability dole & NDIS. My weight back 100+ kgs😢! In Pandemic I desperately started Yoga Teacher course on Udemy

Don't Listen to words. Watch their actions. (@wakeuptotheleft) reported@DarcyMiddleton @AmeliaBee7 It’s not trans hysteria mate, we moved my two nieces from a public school to a private one as they were allowing a boy to shower with 12 year old girls and when the parents went down to the school they teachers were attacking the girls and offering to re educate them , where I currently work ,the young kids that work there also go to a government school and a 16 year old is now allowed to shower with the girls and this **** has hit the fan at that school. It happens is workplaces too, I worked for Telstra for 12 years and then another big corporate for 10, we had a gym on site for all staff and it used to be quite busy before and after work as it was free. Then the morons announced their trans policy and allowed the males to shower and undress with the females. No one complained because they know they’d get in trouble and 95 per cent just stopped using the facility, meanwhile on teams everyone is talking about how ****** it is and how no one can say a word. This is issue plays a big part.

Francis McF (@FrancisMcF1O) reportedFunny how Telstra says they don’t have a monopoly… Yet every emergency service, farm, mine, truckie, and regional business is forced onto their network. If everyone must use one provider, that’s a monopoly.

jess 🌙💍 (@talkingj3ss) reported@polisnotokay LITERALLY TELSTRA GET UR **** TOGETHER

FLAWED&FABULOUS (@FLAWEDFABULOUS) reported@future_vision18 @abmarkman Sorry , I am in the car now on my way home my phone is + 61 0414 412 473 I have mt phone with me i put the volume up Rod gets a better single he is on telstra. If you have trouble his 0404479712

Elizabeth Blackwell (@EBlackwell6280) reportedI'm in Brisbane for a bit and I had forgotten how woeful @telstra mobile broadband is in the city. Endless dropouts and slow downs.

dubzz2228 (@dubzz2228) reportedI need that “ this phone has been disconnected” Telstra service voicemail
-
SNOOPREY (@SNOOPREY77) reported@Telstra It could be my device needs a restart but it could also be that the service you guys at Telstra actually provide doesn’t match what the sales reps and advertising promise

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.

landman (@hasselljpb) reported@Tedthekelpie @Telstra Right at the minute I’m more concerned about whether the poor girl will survive but I’m meeting with Telstra shortly. (Local)
-
Colin Ritchie (@ColinCleanEnery) reported@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.

Anna (@spannaforce) reported@roonsopo Our internet has gone down, telstra outage. So I am going to miss out on the mighty redV thrashing the sharks

John Silvester (@JohnSil81971396) reported@karlstefanovic Sold off Telstra and government assets to their mates to square the debt. Big thugs these two. Cost of living crisis that Australians are facing is because of the regressive mess of the GST There was never a good crisis before the GST.
