    @Telstra So if I take your perspective, I have now dropped you a note, advising if the issue, so it is now resolved. You will pay us $35m, give us a new admit you are wrong and give us anything we want, as the case is now resolved, as I have left you a note. WHAT A BLOODY DISGRACE!

    @TopherField Having previously worked for both Telstra and NBN, I can say NBN satellite and wireless are complete garbage, Starlink smashes it. NBN fibre is excellent though and speeds are world comparable. Still, many Aussies pick the cheapest slow plans which reduces our world rankings

    F'ing @Telstra bill not due sends 50 reminders. I get the worst service & pay good money!!

    I wouldn’t invest in Telstra. - $300M in growth just from increasing their mobile pricing on Post-Paid and Pre-Paid. - 11% pay rise for the CEO. - Loss of 30K mobile customers. Essentially they are lifting consumer pricing as a way to offset poor growth. Way too pricy.

    @TheodorusAtheos @Telstra @Starlink Have you seen anything that indicates signal strength for AST? I imagine it's in the range of -90 to -100 dBm, or better.

    @Ausbobsmit And she’s as dumb as ****. Watched the Telstra 000 enquiry and she couldn’t even get the Telstra CEO’s name right. Any wonder these senate enquirers aren’t worth the paper they’re written on. As for actions post them, wipe my arse with them as the majority are forgotten.

    To that miserable ***** that is CEO for Telstra who is helping rip off Australians wth price increase for no service . No one answers the phones for complaints. I pray this ***** suffers severe financial problems and experiences what struggling Australian families are suffering

    @Telstra Four frustrating weeks of call centres, troubleshooting, refusing to elevate us to managers, cancelling technicians. Four weeks of no home internet, losing money and being given the run around. It’s not hard. Is @Telstra the worst company in Aust for customer service? Still not fixed.

  • Frank93688755
    Frank (@Frank93688755) reported

    This is the truth. Telstra engineers were required by HR to take a break. And that's why the system collapsed and emergency calls didn't go through. Whoodathunkit?

    @susanmandrews RA seems to be taking quite a unique approach to the women’s rugby program. We have all been through it. Unless it is a significant issue which requires an apology eg Optus/Telstra outages, just put out a holding statement & some spin. RA is lucky not much media interest in rugby

    JUST IN: $SHAZ just hired the executive who ran Telstra Enterprise as its new COO. David Burns: 35+ years across Telstra and IBM, most recently leading Telstra's entire Australian B2B and international portfolio. His mandate, per the release: own the journey "from customer order to live operational capacity". Co-founder Andrew Leece moves to a dedicated Strategic Partnerships role, founder-level care for the biggest relationships. Read the pattern, not just the hire: new CFO in July. New Chief Legal Officer in July. Now a heavyweight COO in August. Fourth senior addition in five weeks. A company with $8.8B in contracts and 212MW to deliver isn't hiring to SELL anymore. It's hiring to DELIVER. The bottleneck moved, and management is staffing the bottleneck. The honest line: executive hires are capacity, not revenue. The proof stays where it always was: deployments accepted, escrows released, rent flowing. But you don't poach the Telstra Enterprise boss to run a small book. I'm long $SHAZ. NFA. DYOR.

    That's a wrap on @Techingov_AU in Canberra. Two consumer takeaways: new tech must work for everyone, not just the average user and trust in government services must be informed by consumers and measurable, including traceability of AI agents. Also a sharp breakdown of the Telstra outage from Frank den Hartog (Uni of Canberra). #TechinGov

    (2 cont:) and this would fluctuate WILDLY based on the day to day. If Telstra has an outage, people won't be nominating them to receive any govt money anytime soon 3) or govt would have to guess who to go to for contracts

    Unacceptable Telstra and disgraceful. Calls attempted did not go thru. Bad. Another altage?

    Why is @Telstra so bad?! How do we allow this company to continue like this? The app has been broken for weeks. I can’t get help bc their tech doesn’t even work properly to verify who I am. Now I can’t make calls or text. Furious.

    @AFL @Telstra This kid played well no issue with nomination. But AFL you are aware Billy Wilson is eligible yeah? There is absolutely no way he can put together a 10 week run like he has and not get a nomination

    @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!

  • MSVLKnight
    Michael (@MSVLKnight) reported

    @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.

    A 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.

    @grok @RositaDaz48 Then explain how they got the renumeration so wrong. Those companies are some of the worst managed companies in existence, and Telstra is virtually government.

    @BrentHodgson @TISM_Root Telstra offered an alternative 5G network to replace the aging copper network that mirrors system used overseas, with much higher speeds and reliability and the government decided to build there own assets, using leased Telstra floorspace & Paid Telstra to upgrade its exchanges.

    Unfortunately I wasn't able to stream tonight. My Telstra internet connection upload speed was terrible. It was very good for the past several months my mobile broadband connection was. Nearly 30mb per sec upload speed. But now it's down to the crawl 12mb. Not happy with my ISP.
