    @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.

    @NedKellysReveng @RealDonKeith Shut up *****. You sound gay. Considering I had to help Telstra pull you ****** retards into the 21st century technologically, I don’t give a **** what you mfs have to say about us “yanks.”

    @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?

    @MarcScottEmery @happyjas When big corporates (like Telstra) outsourced their call centres to India, two things happened immediately. 1) The customer records databases were stolen, and 2) Scam call centres opened up, calling all the customers and attempting to scam them. The big corporates were never held accountable, but they directly caused the Indian scammer tsunami that hit Australia.

    @james00000001 NBN 50000km of new copper wire $.7bil Now Telstra/NBN have to retrofit secure pits to stop people stealing the copper. Not a problem with all fibre. The LNP completely screwed AUS all the while paying their mates millions to manage it. #industrialisedcorruption

    @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.

    @DeadSlugg @Aussie_BB 🫠 from Telstra to Optus to internode to iinet to Aussie bb but honestly you’re probably right if the don’t get their stuff together. It always starts the same, then you see the customer service start to deteriorate, then the service. Who are you with now?

    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

    @hichaelmart I run my own custom ICE server on a digital ocean droplet 160ms away. It also pointlessly runs TURN (coturn), I am thinking of swapping the TURN fallback to Cloudflare, cause at this point falling back to TURN gives me nothing, I can just use HTTPS direct. STUN though (managed via Googles free service) is really impressive, even on my Telstra mobile network in Australia.

    Phone bills are about to bite harder - Optus, Telstra and Vodafone have told customers mobile prices will rise soon, squeezing household budgets across Australia. First, the hikes are being driven by higher network and operating costs, inflation and ongoing 5G investment, and will hit both postpaid accounts and some prepaid users. Second, timing and scale differ by provider - some increases take effect within weeks and could outpace general inflation, so expect clear monthly impacts. Third, consumer protections are limited - check your contract, know your exit rights and review small-business plans. Act now: compare plans, contact your provider for options and escalate to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman or ACCC if you need help. #Telecoms #CostOfLiving #Australia

    @cheekybreekky @TruthFairy131 No arguments from me. LNP are ****, Labor is worse. LNP sold off our gold for a pittance. Sold off Telstra (so did Labor), signed us up for the idiotic Paris Accord. Signed us up for the idiotic net zero. And caused the housing affordability crisis along with Labor. Both are traitors to the Australian people.

    @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.

    @Telstra @Telstra_news is it to hard to have mobile phone coverage in Kirrawee ! It’s absolutely woeful ! We live in a first world country with a forth world mobile network - one bar of 4G is not a flex Telstra !

    @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.

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

    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”

    @RealMetroLounge @WindsorDebs You should take one look at what Telstra did to both the cellular network and our internet infrastructure. Telstra were still offering capped data when other companies had unlimited; Telstra denied uncapped data could exist

    After being a loyal customer to Telstra for as long as I can remember, starting with prepaid credit to a Bring Your Own Device simcard plan, I've swapped to Belong mobile. I'm not accepting a ten dollar increase to my phone bill with no additional exrltras. **** you Telsta.

    @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

    @Telstra New NBN, wanted Foxtel, bought Fetch. But Fetch can’t get Foxtel, can’t cancel, no refund no return, throw the Fetch box in the bin, or they said “they would recycle it responsibly”. Now I want some real science, an energy balance not virtue signalling .

    @estratgen My internet is ok apart from being slow and expensive but I get the same with 5g. Constantly dropping and reconnecting every half hour or so. So much for paying more so I can have Telstra because it's "more reliable"
