GregM (@Gmeister67) reported@WSWanderingEels @ardmorelad Yep Aus govt also own the NBN network who mainly use the Telstra network, amongst other smaller players. Everyone gets a drink
-
JIFFTV97 (@jifftv97) reported@dix0nm8 I use telstra jad not had any problems
-
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.
-
Clay Waters (@louiewaterss) reportedPhysically walked in to a @Telstra store to buy the new modem and they literally would not let me buy it. I have to ring up and enquire about it. What kind of system is that? You have the modem on display. It's in stock. I want to buy it. I'm a decade long customer! Joke
-
enz (@enz2g) reported@joey8bitz @1WeakGuttedDog Holy **** you’re dumb. Boost is a budget provider, they are never going to give you the same PRIORITY as you’d get with Telstra otherwise the people that pay twice the amount would be getting the same service No one with boost is expecting the same speeds and priority
-
Peter Dewar (@PeterD84508) reported@TheNoisyTrunk @Caitlen2310 @arbsmichael At a time when the network needed to be upgraded to optic fibre Howard sold off Telstra to the people that already owned it. The cost to build the NBN should also be included in Howard's debts .
-
Noise11.com (@Noise11Tweets) reported@arbsmichael FCAT CHECK: You fail to mention Howard and Costello achieved this by selling off assets including Telstra, Reserve Bank gold reserves, ABC/SBS towers and the National Rail Corporation. They sold Australians out.

Andrew (@andrewrdn463) reported@Telstra People on radio saying Mira Bashi Customer Experience Telstra is ignoring customer feedback?????????
-
landman (@hasselljpb) reportedGotta love it when the @Telstra helpline drops out while trying to solve a @telstra issue
-
Electric Future (@electricfuture5) reported@c0n_AU No Telstra either and Starlink doesn't work because solar overhead @TeslaCharging @TeslaAUNZ
-
스칼렛•해린 (@scarletthxxrin7) reported@Telstra hi, How long can a Telstra prepaid number stay active without a recharge before the service is cancelled? I’ll be overseas for around 2 to 3 months and want to keep my number without buy any data. it will be wasted.
-
Chris Eastaughffe (AZ Vac done) (@Chris_E_Qld_Au) reportedINCOMPETENCE of Telstra knows no bounds! There is a "ringer" problem across Telstra network with copper landlines (exchange problem). They have marked it is FIXED to HIDE the absolute stuff up. I made a complaint about the LIES, INCOMPETENCE; FUCKWITS sent someone to test my line

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

D.J. Grey (@akintowarlock) reportedDear @telstra? What do you make of this? The fact that apparently you are to be seen as selling a paying customer down the river for not only the last year and half but the next 6+ months as well? Can you believe @TelstraAU did this ? ~ December James Grey.
-
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?
-
Mr musk ⭐️🇺🇸🚀 (@Mrmuskh4l5l) reported@c__future6 This is how the whole thing started when I sent $500 for a VIP Telstra Tesla membership card and never got the Tesla I won! That was my fault and now you’re trying to make this my fault I would think two guys working for Elon Musk would be a little bit smarter than this.
-
SJP (@SJPtweets) reported@telstra I was paying $80 per month and after contacting customer services, I am suddenly paying $84????? There was no warning of a price increase
-
SNOOPREY (@SNOOPREY77) reported@Telstra Right now I’m in the city centre out in the open in a carpark and only 2 bars reception, you have to admit that’s terrible
-
Val (@mightgetthere) reported@DevMohali @Ausbobsmit I have met some really nice Indians, and I have met some that want to rip us off every chance they get. I will never again deal with an Indian or a Pakistani in telecommunications. I’m not sure but I think Telstra and Optus are a bit gun-shy well.
-
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.

X- Y Bailey 🇦🇺🇳🇿 🇨🇦🇩🇪🇮🇹 (@Bailey92035278) reported@WSWanderingEels On the rare occasion Vodafone customer I actually agree with Telstra yes you have to go now if you’re the NRL like yeah 2029 if you want to beat the AFL over anything then this would be the one AFL hasn’t even talked about 20th team. Time for the NRL to put up or shut up

Australian 🇦🇺 (@45FirstLady) reported@OMGTheMess Officeworks is just the latest major business to ship hundreds of white-collar & customer service jobs to India & the Philippines, following the likes of NAB, Westpac, CommBank, Telstra, KPMG & PwC.

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.

John Clements (@kc9on) reported@eevblog You can check out any time you like but you can never leave. Welcome to the cell phone Telstra Mobile.......

RochfordAlexAR (@rochfordalexAR) reported@bazingashane0 @Telstra The fact that my Download is fine, 100 Mbps download line speed (Actually 109 for some reason) I can run speed tests all day to Melbourne or Hobart and get near close to 100Mbps down (or a bit more thanks to the magic of multi mode connections)
-
Jordan Wardle (@JordanWardle5) reported@theinfradev @ruicharadrius I'm not revising history. The plan was fttp everywhere, with Telstra and optus copper being bought out to move them to the NBN. The copper was never going to be used for the NBN. Look at the Telstra definitive agreements from 2011.

someone you wont see again (@farleighvlogs) reported@Telstra fix your wifi right now i was playing roblox and seats in a game that i HAD TO SIT ON didnt load bc of your terrible wifi

Aquis_GN 📱🤖 smartphone/android vtuber (@Aquis_GN) reported@thesamuelnam Where was it imported from? Try using Vodafone or telstra it might help
-
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. .

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.
