Craig Gardiner (@cwgardiner) reported@telstra reception in Vermont South (near Sewart close) is crap. I logged a call (INC 40508228) as a @Telstra Gold member 6 months ago, today they told me it was fixed. It ain’t fixed. Still no 4G/5G and I’m paying for 4G backup on my NBN modem. This is beyond a joke.

Matai James Turner (@62DesertEagle) reported from Adelaide, South AustraliaThank you telecommunications ombudsman and Telstra for the correct information and waving fees and bills being distributed by ANZ+ digital platforms I'll be ******* you off tomorrow **** Digital Platforms and ID
-
jchoop.hl (@jchoop) reported@MarkoMatvikov Hahahha no not at all, I just wanted to pass along that during the swapping over process he said the exact same thing. For years with Telstra any kind of contact had been infuriatingly terrible for him, and he couldn't speak highly enough of the Aussie people walking him through everything and being patient
-
Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@LambDownUnder @bigboatbruce @james00000001 We never had true competition before because Telstra controlled it all. We wouldn't be in the mess if LNP didn't sell Telstra as a single entity despite being advised to split. Then they wouldn't split and participate in the nbn build similar to NZ.
-
Marcus Wong (@aussiewongm) reported@rainbowdefault @AJAllchin @Telstra And an upside of this is there is now an unpaid army of people testing whether the payphones are actually still working, rather than some poor chump in an emergency getting stranded.
-
There’s Only One Jezza (@StandMeOver) reported@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.
-
Jumbarrawa (@jumbarrawa) reportedTwice this morning, you have bumped me off @telstra. What is your deal ?? Your service has disconnected over a dozen times in the last few days. I think I need to take you to the ACCC. I do not have the luxury of waiting 20 minutes each time your service goes down. seriously. We're going to have words today. This is RUBBISH. ALDI buying lines from you, and THAT is not going down at a 1/3 of the price you sting me for.
-
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.
-
Man With A Stick (@bludgeonParagon) reported@ashleycanttweet Social media truly signal boosts the most negative people these days because I remember back when I was playing a ton of Horizon 3, and as an Australian I don't recall people online ever being so miserable. I was just marvelling at the wheelie bins and Telstra phone booths lmao
-
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
-
Unique Images Australia (@UniqueImagesAus) reported@BassonBrain @Jessdistrict11 @SpaceX I live 10km from the ocean, between two major cities. No phone signal in many many locations on our major highways. Cannot send a text while talking on the phone. I have two Telstra numbers, highest cost plan. Without Starlink mini mounted in everyone of our commercial cars, no comms. Australia has no world class highway connecting cities. Has no coastal phone network or fast internet. It’s 2026 and I though I would be in a flying car, reality is I cannot make a call and text simultaneously.

☘️ Simon C ☘️ (@SimonGetsWild) reported@aussiesoph Sorry for your loss 😔🙏🏻. My grandparents Always lived overseas and Telstra was expensive af growing up to ring them.. I never really knew them 😔. Same with uncles and cousins etc Idk how I'd cope losing a close family member 😭😭
-
Katarina Brozovic+ (@brozovicbasic) reportedAustralians 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!
-
Extranious A (VIC/Tim) (@AssExtranious) reported@gilmie76 @Telstra @MarkAClarkson Or threatening you with a $200 fine for not returning your modem after your house burned down.
-
Kerani Cameron (@CameronKer50028) reported@FinancialReview Get an Optus contract so galore might just win mine was just Telstra we have asked about hem to stop can go do Optus to help sort it out and give the business to Singapore we can’t afford this we still have our id and birth certificate
-
LunacySoft (@LunacySoft) reported@loftwah Belong is quite good as well and Telstra network
-
Peter (@Peter81945442) reported@ALDIMobileAU If you start using ALDImobile you can never leave. I have been trying to port my phone number to Telstra but they refuse
-
EmptyJr⭐️🔭🐝 (COMMS-Closed) (@Empty_jr) reportedAnd I am on Telstra but they're price gouging and they Suck and I did attempt after their last price hike to leave but it's like. Oh if you are in a regional area literally noone else can help you. I see. Think there's a word for that that rhymes with schmonopoly
-
fatryy (@fatryy218020) reported@telstra is sending someone to my house to fix my net. hopefully these shitcunts can fix it instead of staring at it dumbfucks
-
Andrew Godman (@Andrew_Godman) reported@Telstra Not at home right now, but I’ve tried it in the past to no success when speeds are poor. I use to get 5 bars of 4g when the old tower was over the road. Now it’s 1 bar or either 4g or 5g after the “upgrades”
-
David (@dwilliamson931) reported@fakemetrotrains Much more competent then anything Metro can provide. It almost outdoes Telstra for being so customer unfocused
-
Steve (@Aust2022) reportedWhy is phone reception so poor at @TheAdelaideOval can be a MCG with 80000 or Marvel with 50000 and have phone reception yet Adelaide Oval with 30 to 40k reception is ****. Every since Telstra stopped sponsorship of the plaza.
-
Jimbo Jones (@JimboJones2025) reported@Telstra How about you fix your connection as well. Biggest Australian telco and still having network issues. What crap are you
-
Kouva (@Kouvaau) reported@AFL @kylie @Telstra Big yawn.
-
Savas (@savasmelb) reported@disco___cat I’m happy with a Boost 365 day plan and they use the full Telstra network. No point paying a premium for the Telstra brand I think.
-
****** (@Yarrahbunjyil) reported@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!
-
Ignatius Tse (@Ignatius_Tse) reported@Telstra is there a reason why mobile data is so bad in Ashfield? It’s bad inside the mall but today it was unusable outside on the street as well even though the phone indicated 2 bar of reception.
-
Jonathan Borges (@bo10546) reported@AFL @kylie @Telstra And not a **** was given that day.
-
Greg Briggs (@greg__briggs) reported@disco___cat Have you thought about Aldi? They use Telstra network and way cheaper. Have the kids on them and will probably switch my wife and I across later this year.
