    So Southern Phone has been taken over by “Energy Telco” Those of us on its Telstra based service told goodbye. Over 30 people in NSW have apparently lost their jobs. Contacted call centre to check my options, gave up because foreign accent at the other end was unintelligigible.

    @Telstra I have requested cancellation of a service on four separate occasions, yet continue to be charged multiple times. This morning your chat team again asked whether I wish to cancel it. Please confirm the cancellation under reference 130242508 and address my complaint 136862308 at your earliest convenience. Can you also explain the photo information? Thank you.

    @danderfield 3/ one of the players who showed leadership following the Wayne Carey incident. Left his footy boots in the middle of Telstra Dome following Norths EF loss in 2005, notifying his retirement from the game.

    @myGovau Go digital they said. What that has got us? MyGov, Telstra, Optus hacked. Stolen identities, etc. This isn't even 1% the problem. Why keep pushing something that causes many problems & stress to everyday ppl? Tracing private citizens every move is the objective.

    [DOW JONES NEWSWIRES] Telstra Says Outage Caused by Lack of Focus on Network Timing — Update @Focustheband

    Seems perfectly legit, reward people for failures …. 🙄 Telstra has paid its chief executive, Vicki Brady, $6.8m for the year ending in June, after docking 20% of her bonus in response to the network’s nationwide outage in July. The company reported financial results on Thursday. Its board met on Monday and decided to cut Brady’s bonus by $607,000 – but she still took home a $700,000 pay rise as she was awarded a total of $6.1m the year before.

    It’s $250k for 27 years as an mp including 7 years as deputy premier and premier less than half the increase of the Telstra CEO’s $6m annual pay packet. You and the idiot Murphy should just get stuffed.

    @Telstra As longtime customer I deplore your endorsement of IDF being allowed to enter Australia and taking part in the @sydmarathon A slap in the face to Zomi Frankcom’s family and to all Australians

    But you get a whoops when your service goes down. You ever order a pizza and the shop takes a slice out and says can't help it? That's what Telstra is. And look at the profits in a cost-of-living crisis, ay. Whose cost of living ?? When do we adjust the books ay ?? @Telstra been with you lot for over 10 years at my address... not once have you even given me a router upgrade or checked if I'm on the best plan... where's your loyalty, ay ?? Winding down my credits and won't be coming back for dam sure. I'll learn Korean first and enjoy it more. 감사합니다

    @Telstra not sure if Boost is still under your remit, but connectivity issues as punishment for not setting up auto-recharge is not a good look.

    @diana_murphy613 Thankfully in Australia we have competition. I can get internet service from Telstra, TPG, Optus, Aussie Broadband and others.

    @AshConnell @marka_eth That would be some kind of technical error unfortunately. You’re supposed to get thru to a Telstra operator first who asks you fire, amb, or police and then they transfer and stay on the line till u make contact w the appropriate emergency call taker

    @Telstra I’m 5 minutes from Parliament House in Canberra and I don’t have the signal strength on my phone to stream the live Liverpool game from the UK. You lot are a ******* scam. Waste of money. National carrier my fat *** #telstra #rubbish #scam

    @Riogallica @Starlink We have @Starlink. Telstra lied to my husband about the download speed, by saying it was slow, then when I cancelled them & said that we were getting Starlink, another person actually tried to talk me into getting Starlink through Telstra.🙄 We went to Starlink’s Website & a local starlink Contractor installed it for us - $106.36 + GST

    @SistaRuthDOPD They use the Telstra platform. Never heard of it doing that, but calls are answered based on the key words you use when it asks you what you’re calling about. Also offers ‘place in queue’, calling you back when your phone no reaches #1 in the queue, which is really worth doing.

  • MSVLKnight

    @LisaLemon09 I worked for Telstra for a long time and in my experience nearly every major issue was caused by updates being tested in a lab with 10 services and then getting rolled out to 20,000 plus subscribers. It was nearly always inadequate testing.

    @lordlaw92 Landlines still exist, just nobody uses them so people stopped paying for the Service. I mean 'why pay for home phone and mobile?' as with most things in society people simply don't expect things once established to ever fail. It's why optus and telstra are strung out atm.

    @howardw46 @Telstra You can’t just be stopping all the time at every pissant station. The service stops enough at key stations and mostly stops at nearly all.

    @TallNupinks Belong is owned by Telstra and it's their cheaper mobile service with 5G - they have a $25 plan for unlimited calls & 10GB data. They have been reliable for me for a while!

    Boarded the Spirit of Tasmania Monday. Departed 6.45pm. Surging deep into the blackened waters of Bass Strait about 8.45, I lost the @Telstra network. It bravely held for 2 hours of glorious sea going connectivity. So why can’t I get a bloody #Telstra signal in #Elwood?!!

    Telstra - what a waste of time…how can a service provider send out this month bill $20 more than Last month? From $129 to $149…what will it be for the Next month? Our streaming is constantly fluctuating I spent 2 hrs speaking to a rep. Overseas to get my modem working- Now ?

    @blu_boys @Optus If you bank with commonwealth they have a deal with more. It uses the Telstra network, usually 25% off with an already well priced plan.

    Brett Cousins (@BrettWCousins) reported

    @Telstra Thanks for following up . I’m surprised this is news to Telstra. It’s well-known that Telstra just doesn’t just service Elwood. Most cafes offer wifi because everyone knows how poor telstra is. Been that way for a decade.
