fatt Guy (@GuyFatt54504) reported@deepwebslinger Based on a search of current news and reports as of April 2026, there is no evidence to support the claim that "tel" (a common abbreviation for Telstra or similar entities) has pink-slipped over 20,000 workers The statement appears to be fabricated or based on misinformation

YehYeh (@Rusty_times) reported@markbouris Would of had a national broadband network years earlier if Telstra wasn’t sold off. The fire sale PM

Jonny17bgood (@Jonny17bgood1) reported@__amyylouise Never go past Telstra not worth saving a lousy buck and compromising
-
Daniel Borrowman (@DanielBorrowman) reported@Telstra @Mention When did it become normal to be unable to simply visit the Telstra website or app to download a bill or view your calls and data usage? All you can do is download a few random receipts. Telstra Support claims, and I quote, “oh this is normal now…” I’m sorry to say Telstra but you’ve been infiltrated. Perhaps you should investigate the current and all past complaints and you’ll likely find some interesting information in the touch logs. 129472997 128259673 117509219

Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@diss_presso @robb_j_m The problem was that Telstra weren't going to upgrade as they were using the money to install mobile towers and letting the fixed line to rot. Before being sold off they were looking at upgrade paths, but that all got stopped. Telstra were only interested in killing competition

Max (@Max51973563529) reported@AFL @Telstra How ******** did Lindsay not get it?

Doctor Vadar Who (@DoctorVadarWho) reported@Telstra when are you going to support RCS for iPhone in Australia because I would like to have it so green bubbles don't mess up group messages @Apple
-
Jay Jay (@JayJay1094727) reported@lightgolightly @AlanBixter @Telstra When you have tech trouble in Thailand, do you have to negotiate with an ai chat bot?
-
Conrad (@SdadMyself) reported@SkyNewsAust Every business contributes tax revenue to the government, and extending the licence ‘could’ help raise additional funds. Will this create more jobs, or lead to layoffs like we’ve seen at Telstra and the big four banks, taking into consideration in the current climate?
-
Elizabeth Blackwell (@EBlackwell6280) reported@twoshedslegit @angelar68197975 They sold commercial businesses, not core sovereign functions, worth around $72 billion, including Telstra, the Commonwealth Bank, airports, and rail assets. I thought selling the airports and rail assets was a mistake. At the time they were losing money, so a long-term lease arrangement might have been a better approach than outright sale. That said, it was hardly a “Thatcherite disaster.” In many cases privatisation improved efficiency and competition, telecommunications being a clear example. Critics often highlight the lost future dividends, but overlook the massive debt reduction, the interest savings, and the fact that governments are generally poor at running commercial operations. .

Kim B (@too_good1) reported@Telstra what’s going on with internet in area code 2640?? It’s been up & down constantly since Wednesday.. 8 times dropping out. Is it inland rail causing the issue??? We are close to train station.. call centre is no help!
-
Dave Jones (@eevblog) reported@asphotos Science isn't going to help when the system is clogged because the NBN is down and many thousands of people are trying to find workarounds. Telstra in the park has collapsed, and Optus is struggling.

thomas armstrong (@MynoteTa) reported@toiletpaperaus1 No only did they sell off Telstra, they lied about it. Promised hand over heart they would not sell all of it knowing full damn well that they absolutely had to. It was always going to be all or nothing. Absolute ***** then and still are!
-
Harry Snape (@HarryFromSyd) reported@KingstaKingsta1 @craigkellyAFEE Not the Howard garbage again. Keating sold CBA for $8B and spent the money bailing out VIC Labor. CBA is sort $260B and has given $150B in dividends. Howard sold Telstra for $45B (now $52B), used the money to pay off debt and create the future fund, it’s worth $320B

Frau (@AuFrau4655) reported@1234jscot @Rainmaker1973 They can. In Australia my company phone is on Telstra Business. I have never received a single spam call in the many years I have had it. My personal phone on a cheap network on the other hand....

Gerald Dabbles (@dabblebutz) reported@Telstra @Optus @optus_help can we please get support for RCS messaging on iPhones?!?!? The rest of the world supports it and Australians are missing out! 😭

Catherine (@catherinemary0) reported@AlanBixter @Telstra The troubles our poor telecommunications infrastructure caused during Ausfires few years ago, I can personally attest to,

Trev (@Trev__Says) reported@MacFlashmanInc @markbouris @Rocket60271713 This **** **** sold Telstra, the airports and our gold reserves for a once off surplus & no govt was able balance the budget for 20 years because of his economic vandalism This filth should be in a cell with Costello
-
Steve Williams (@therandomswill) reported@Telstra Thanks Febey. Sadly still not working. It’s a simple fix, not sure why it hasn’t been done after five days.
-
Far Canal 😏 (@FarCanall) reportedReally unsure, but I’ve seen the same sort of buffoons rise to the top at Aust Post, Telstra, etc. The phrase “**** floats to the Top” is pretty common in Govt Industies. Good thing is, once they get there, their incompetence is exposed for all to see. Nowhere to hide.
-
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.
-
MR Reilly (@mrr78504) reported@econoadabsurdam @LeeRespecter The NBN might plausibly have increased productivity if it had retained its original scope (A FTTN fibre backbone network independent of Telstra that would allow telecommunication companies to compete on an equal footing). Instead it got rolled out first in Tasmania.
-
Trev (@Trev__Says) reported@markbouris That economic vandal **** **** sold our gold reserves, our airports, Telstra & all our revenue producing assets in a fire sale to generate a once off surplus for the weak minded. No gov for 20 years was able to balance a budget because of this criminal He should be in a cell
-
Paul Cashmere (@paulcashmere) reported@markbouris "no national debt .. yep zero" because he sold over $70 billion in public assets to pay down government debt, with major privatizations including Telstra (approx. 49% in 97-99), the remaining Commonwealth Bank shares, all major federal airports, and the National Rail Corporation.

Dr Angeline Brasier 💜 (@AngelineBrasier) reported@merkin_about its when online security works against the very elderly and their carers. we had this trouble with Telstra. they kept texting a security code to a number that wasn't our's. Mum didn't understand ended up having to get the ombudsman involved.

Jason Cefai (@CefaiJason) reported@robb_j_m everyone ******* moaned and kniffed Rudd in the back they then sold it off to telstra because this stupid government doesn't know how to create money they only know how to Tax

𝑫𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒆𝒍 𝑺𝒄𝒐𝒕𝒕 𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒘𝒔 🇦🇺 (@DanielSMatthews) reported@eevblog I have both, NBN service stability is far less than Starlink's, so it is my backup. I could probably push traffic through both, did that with Telstra and Optus cable modems back in the day, but Starlink is so fast I haven't needed to bother.
