Man With A Stick (@bludgeonParagon) reported@ashleycanttweet Social media truly signal boosts the most negative people these days because I remember back when I was playing a ton of Horizon 3, and as an Australian I don't recall people online ever being so miserable. I was just marvelling at the wheelie bins and Telstra phone booths lmao

BitterBite (@DesignFlaw_) reported@PremiumHeart88 @AussieLeafsDan @Telstra The cell tower that services our town was "Taken down for planned maintenance" for a week without notice. We had to look up why we had no cell service.

Shanks_🇦🇺⚒️🥋✝️ (@Shannon37683302) reported@QBCCIntegrity We should have never privatised Telstra or NSW Energy. We are all paying more for it

Gary Grant (@ScozzieGary) reportedBye bye @Telstra Using a horrible climate to money grab even more. Phone, internet the whole lot is going.

mary blackman (@39loulou) reported@blowingtom2 @JohnAndersonAC Name calling, so early in the discussion. Do you remember how Howard sold off our Gold in the dip? D’ya know how much that would be worth in today’s $$. Did you know they also sold off Comm Bank & Telstra to cover baby bonus cheques and utes? Research Howard worst PM ever#auspol

MetOshi (@met_oshi) reported@RealMetroLounge @WindsorDebs Optus and Vodafone had to rely on Telstra, since Telstra owned the network. It wasn't until the government set up a service and bought back the network that things started to change
-
Beth D Kicinski (@no1historychick) reported@MichaelWestBiz @sainsburychina Loyalty programs are the ultimate con. Telstra just emailed me to say my mobile plan will be increasing by $5/mth, but my service won't improve. I'm unwillingly signed up to their "Rewards" - something built into the pricing. This should be outlawed.
-
bamberee/Bree (@bamberee) reported@BrianJArbuckle Thank you.: I didn’t realise other companies use the Telstra network until this week. Time for me to start shopping around I think.

tom flynn (@tomdflynn) reportedI missed a Telstra bill Now my phone can't make calls Paid the bill yesterday My phone still can't make calls Very long term Telstra customer Time to move

Loftwah (@loftwah) reported@mwfowlie @Telstra Telstra has been patchy in our area for a while now. Gonna have to port. Can’t justify this rate for trash service. 13Mbps down at 71ms at best.
-
parasocial relationship detector (@deedledodedum) reported@odden56 @thedose__ Telstra is awful, Australia has some of the worst internet speed for any developed country.
-
Michelle Burrows (@ChelleAB) reportedI’ll second this. I note Albanese has no issue shackling the ALP’s NBN around our necks despite Telstra either.
-
Andrew Cunningham (@AS_Cunningham) reported@BrilliantMaps As a Canadian who has never been there: Qantas, Macquarie, BHP, Telstra and a couple of banks are the only names that ring a bell.
-
Chuck Stone (@chuckastone) reported@AussieVal10 It took Telstra, a lot of gold sold at record low prices by an idiot treasurer, and who-knows-what-else, to pay off that $96 billion. It's never about productivity; always about short-sighted asset fire sales in this country, and it needs to stop.

JoshAtticus (@joshatticus) reported@ElManuSantander Wait, technicolor? The same company that makes the garbage Telstra smart routers?

Boothy (@184WB) reported@walsh_mindy Telstra is abysmal, phone service quality and reliability, customer service, and charges.
-
Doc Haliday ⚓️🇦🇺 🇺🇦 (@TheRealDoc4) reported@RayJCapo79 I got eSIM when I changed over to Woolworths Mobile last week. Just need to ensure you turn off the Telstra Sim or it will keep looking for it and your battery power goes down hill. Was easy as to set up.

Karl Pharks 🇦🇺 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 (@Karl_Pharks) reported@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.

Brett Brooks (@brettbrooks) reported@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?
-
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.
-
Ralph Mondel (@ralph_mondel) reported@Telstra ...Interesting business model that you have! Tried to change service for speed at a lower cost (online offers) only to be told that this is ONLY available to new customers. No solution offered, leaving me to seek another provider!!

Bron (@Bron91856683607) reportedFRANK radmil and corrupt **** cops and judges are in business with TELSTRA MOBILE NETWORK silencing victims tampering with phone calls to government agencies of reporting grooming of children for peodafiles for decades in Perth WA

Anton Chigurh (@BibasKfir) reportedI wish I had been at the lunch out on by the Ad Agency that sold the latest TV commercial to @Telstra (the stupid cartoon one). 🙄
-
Melinda Walsh 🚜 🇦🇺 🐑 🌾🏏 (@walsh_mindy) reportedTelstra email re increased $$ & why it’s necessary. “Increasing our prices helps us keep improving our mobile network performance, reliability & security to better support changing connectivity needs.” I disagree Telstra!!! You only successfully increased black spots of NoService

AyVee2 (@ay_vee2) reportedJust as SADS took off when the Covid jabs were rolled out but I had my Telstra service restricted for daring to suggest there might be a link between SADS and SIDS.

Muskonomy (@muskonomy) reportedNEWS: Telstra and TPG push Australian government for competitive spectrum auctions despite SpaceX warning Australian mobile carriers Telstra and TPG Telecom have urged the government to go ahead with open, competitive auctions for spectrum licences used for mobile and satellite mobile services, even after SpaceX warned it would withhold Starlink satellite mobile service in Australia if it isn’t given priority access to key wireless spectrum. SpaceX has made it clear that its satellite-to-mobile network (Starlink Direct to Cell) needs guaranteed access to Australia’s wireless airwaves to launch its full services — including voice and data for phones directly from satellites. But Telstra and TPG argue that giving one provider priority access risks limiting competition and could lock in high prices for consumers. A TPG spokesperson said competitive auctions are important because market concentration is a real risk if policy settings favour a single operator. They stressed Australia should encourage multiple satellite providers and business models, not entrench dominance by any one company, whether traditional mobile or satellite-based. Telstra and TPG’s stance comes amid broader debate about how Australia will manage spectrum — a critical resource that carries all mobile voice, text and data traffic. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has been consulting on future spectrum licences and how to allocate them fairly as older licences expire and new services are developed. Telstra itself has been active in satellite-mobile tech, testing and rolling out basic satellite messaging in Australia using SpaceX’s Direct to Cell system, but carriers say full commercial services must not be tied to exclusive spectrum access for one provider.

Marg N - AU (@Daisy1158) reported.@Telstra You know, it would be great if people would be notified of NBN work and interruptions at least BEFORE the internet is no longer working! I got a notification AFTER the service was restored!
