    @Telstra No it’s not sorted. The mobile tower ran out of battery during a power outage last night. Power is restored but the mobile coverage is still down.

    Bye bye @Telstra Using a horrible climate to money grab even more. Phone, internet the whole lot is going.

    @Theblackfemini3 Howard SOLD everything. Telstra, Qantas, all of it. The reason we rely so heavily on income tax now is because of Howard. The reason we have trouble paying back debt is Howard. Read history.

    @Telstra Not at home right now, but I’ve tried it in the past to no success when speeds are poor. I use to get 5 bars of 4g when the old tower was over the road. Now it’s 1 bar or either 4g or 5g after the “upgrades”

    @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.

    She’s new here with no working phone—unbelievable incompetence from Telstra. Posting on her behalf (no X account). @Telstra explain why your process is this broken & get her connected immediately! #TelstraFail #TelstraScam Newcastle (3/4)

    @sydney_ev Telstra has been using batteries & solar on their relay stations for years. - they fail when overcast for 3 days. Farmers complain that they charge their Li-ion batteries and 3 months later when they need to use them, they have discharged. Just life

    @Telstra Telstra staff are erasing customer complaints causing profits to go down as customers go to the Ombudsman. REPORT TELSTRA AS THIS IS ILLEGAL.

    @RealMetroLounge @WindsorDebs You should take one look at what Telstra did to both the cellular network and our internet infrastructure. Telstra were still offering capped data when other companies had unlimited; Telstra denied uncapped data could exist

    Telstra plan increasing again even though the service is worse than when I first joined up with that plan.

    imagine arranging a disconnection of internet service only to be told that they can arrange connection of an embedded network when they actually can’t, just do as you are asked instead of ignoring the request, Telstra at its best

    @OTheChad Telstra is about as bad a company as I’ve ever had the displeasure of dealing with. All care, no responsibility.

    @Mr_Fanta_Pants @Telstra You’re contracted for the MRO not the network access. All network access is month to month now.

    @Mr_Fanta_Pants @Telstra Ok, still sounds like Starlink on standby is the best solution, cheap, enough data for phone calls, set up a SIP service with Siptalk for her and at least she gets what she wants.

    @electricfuture5 @Telstra Lack of data in shopping centres consistently was the main reason for me moving. Was going on for 6+ months. Went into the Telstra shop and they were all on wifi. With Optus now, obviously have their own history but I have had far less issues with them.
