BeefyGold6669 (@BeefyGold6669) reported@sanpellyenjoyer I swear that one in the teal shirt was Steve from Dell tech support. And the one next to him was Randy from Telstra
-
me, an internetual (@grrowl) reported@agileben @Telstra It’s so annoying, data has been down in Abbotsford for a week
-
Advice from an Aussie🇦🇺 (@Sheldone) reportedA new group has formed at the socialising table. Apparently someone got a funny meme because they’re passing the phone around. This kind of corporate bullshit will be the reason why the mobs will take down Telstra first.

🐏 (@princefishey) reported@aphexnaim CLASSIC VLINE last time i went to the city it was when the telstra outage messed all the trains up
-
Brent Hodgson (@BrentHodgson) reported@deborahbrian @aaronsmith @DHughesy Nor did the surpluses. Three-quarters of the $96 billion paid down under Howard (~$71.8bn) came from one-time public asset selloffs - including Telstra, Commonwealth Bank, DASFLEET, defence assets, Brisbane Airport, Melbourne Airport, Perth Airport, National Rail, Adelaide Airport, Darwin and Alice Springs Airports, Canberra Airport, Hobart Airport, the Australian Industry Development Corporation, Broadcast Australia (transmission towers)... A lot of those assets were sold at knock-down prices too - e.g. Broadcast Australia was sold at $650m, then the buyer sold it for twice that shortly after.

Gus (@gus_bibi_graeme) reported@ElizabethAttar5 Telstra service was way better before competition was introduced as a way to improve service. Come to think of it all services were better before we started privatising to improve services and pricing
-
Ben 🇺🇦🇦🇺🚴 (@thecattery) reported@22thinkinggirl Gabby Gabby Who was in a massive WhatsApp exchange with Anthony Carbines who I was sitting near at the footy ~2 months ago, I thought wtf is this about. Was the week of the Telstra V/Line outage.
-
b (@_benny4) reported@chdyctt I cancelled a contract with Optus 10 years ago due to their relocated contact centre. Was awful, but Telstra ended being cheaper believe it or not. In saying that, communications need to be explained easy & not written by AI and signed off.
-
.𖥔 Si 🇿🇼 (@euphoriacdbaby) reportedif you’re considering a mobile/internet service provider, stay away from @Telstra. their customer service is the worst i’ve experienced anywhere and the service itself is ****. Does anyone know how to get out of a plan without buying out? I’ve actually had enough.
-
Tim (@TimothyJ_23) reportedWould love to know why @Telstra network is randomly cutting out at HBF Park in Perth. There are literally mobile receivers on the light towers
-
SonicHacki (ConcordeHacki) (@SonicHacki) reported@TennyUnderscore Damn based Telstra
-
Atton (@itsatton) reported**** Telstra man

w0tn0t3 #VaccineFree#AbolishTheUN #AbolishEUSSR (@w0tn0t2201) reported@roberts_pa97578 I’d never use @telstra - the experiences I had with them as a network consultant for clients were atrocious - their NBN implementations/installations/services were pathetic
-
Paddy (@Dabatsau) reported@cookyourgarden @valuetainment They dont have lowband spectrum in Australia (nor in the US) without doing a deal with existing providers (Telstra & Optus) so dont get your hopes up. The spectrum they do have is mid band and would require phone manufacturers to support it, also needs a clear path to the sky to work.
-
Mat (@Phantomwolf319) reported@slinkjej @25YearsAgoLive Eh. Other than that. I don’t think Howard has much of a chance much longer. He’s getting WAY too long in the tooth for me since the Telstra sale which was stupid. Here’s hoping this isn’t a repeating incident no less
-
Audrey (@AudreyTay31079) reported@ellymelly Yes it is. My regional medical centre I have had the same doctor at for 30 years has been sold about a year ago. It’s now run by an offshore call centre in India and is now full of Indian doctors and I use that term loosely. I will never go to an immigrant doctor. Also in my small regional town , the Telstra shop all Indian staff, two of the 3 Pizza shops are Indian run, women walking around in Saris, all delivery drivers Indian. It’s an invasion!

Sue Davis (@Sueberry2) reported@blu_boys @Optus Go Aldi...roll over data, plans from $23, Telstra network, and currently double data on some plans for 6months if you start up before the end of September 2026.
-
Uptimus (@UptimusApp) reportedAug 06, 2026 at 01:45 UTC: Uptimus is currently monitoring Telstra stability. Reports have returned to normal levels, and we are verifying system performance before resolving.

Yoru Barman (@heg_emon) reportedStarlink Mobile (formerly Direct-to-Cell) is already live. About 650 satellites currently deliver text, location, and limited data/apps to unmodified LTE phones in dead zones via partners like T-Mobile (T-Satellite), Rogers, Telstra, KDDI and others across dozens of countries. Native high-speed 5G-level service and continuous global coverage (including poles) arrive with V2 satellites starting late 2027, targeting full planet by end of 2028 as per Grok.

GainsMax (@GainsMax168031) reportedThe rapidly advancing Starlink system should scare any Australian Telco. I hope the Telstra monopoly on the market gets broken up to the point that they're forced to lower prices. The service we get for Telstra, considering how much we pay is a joke. Any company that moves its operations overseas purely because labour is cheaper deserves to be outcompeted by companies that actually invest in local jobs, innovation, and customer service. If your entire business model relies on cutting wages instead of building a better product, don't be surprised when someone with better technology comes along and makes you irrelevant. Consumers shouldn't be expected to pay premium prices for declining service while executives celebrate another cost cutting exercise.

Johnny (@JohnnyLydon) reportedIt’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.
-
Carstendog (@carstendog) reported@fictillius I do love the fact that Telstra phone booths are a free service now and essentially only exist as advertising billboards
-
Stu (@StuartFromAus) reported@dan_const @AFL @Telstra William dropped off towards the end if the season. Also had one of his worst games in a rare prime time game in Vic, I knew it was done after that.
-
James Bernard 🇦🇺✝️☕🎸 (@jamesabernard) reported@TopherField However, starlink is still ground linked through Telstra. Switch off Telstra & starlink goes down too.
-
Candour (@Candour100) reported@blu_boys @Optus Boost is by bar the cheapest as you get the full Telstra network. Belong gives you the majority and that serves my girl right as the only considerations would be travelling to remote areas.
-
MormorLady (@mormorlady) reported@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
-
dixy (@DorothyDixer12) reported2024 Telstra Announcement 2026 Telstra still having issues
-
Kai (@kai_h) reported@no1historychick Telstra are never going to move you to a new plan unless you ask, especially when the newer plans are cheaper and have more data.

𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐚'𝐬 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐨𝐲 (@SardineTruther) reportedI have some great stories regarding this while working for Telstra/Belong many years ago regarding the establishment of Telstra's 'Centre of Excellence' i.e. The Cut Salaries By 94% Factory. It destroyed 90% of non-binary customer service jobs based in Melbourne, plunging the Adventure Time fan-community of the city in to technical recession. It was a tale for the ages that I once posted and shortly after had to remove due to it's potentially defamatory nature. I'll post it again one day, but you'd have to DM me and swear to secrecy otherwise.
