    Yo Aussies anyone else with telstra (or companies that use their network, like belong) having issues with data?? Woke up this morning and the wifi wasn't working, turned on my data and... that wasn't working either. And my roommate's data isn't working either

    @MelPalling @Telstra Hi Ivan, you've clearly never been to Clyde, Victoria. It's a bottomless pit for Service. You cannot get service inside anyone's homes, and once you find a 'service' area, you dare not move, as it will drop straight right out. It's a huge growth area

    @Kate3015 It’d really not that hard to spot but to the untrained eye they always look legitimate. My husband a case in point. He doesn’t click on the link but always asks me how to deal with it. Every time I,show- block the email via,the contact card, delete, simple. Government departments never send you anything, just a notification to go to My Gov. Telstra has the email in the App. If it’s not there it’s not real. There are couple I can think of.

    @gomichild Never mind that my back injury is what forced me from retail into admin, and I’d been doing purchasing and sales admin for years. I kept having to remind her I wasn’t obligated to apply for random jobs, and I certainly wasn’t going to apply for a job interview a Telstra shop!

    Telstra r no issue when it comes to recharging which is identical to th Microsoft Product Key. Punch it in PC=dun. NO=Smartashole=Microsoft laugh at customers blockng. They do not have to know any1s card numbers, it has zilch to do with them its=Privacy Invasion. Eusk ur not rich

    Regional reality check: Telstra = service. Optus = maybe. Vodafone = forget it. If only one network works outside the cities, that’s not a market — that’s a monopoly.

    @cyberpunkdingo Yes, Telstra as you mentioned did a signed deal with Infosys. 600 jobs gone, all local IT contracting staff were retrenched. Then they use some onshore workers to run the service but the workers are mainly offshore. NAB also partnered with Accenture this failed miserably.

    @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 .

    Dear @Telstra your account problem managers are inept children based out of the Philippines. How can an account problem manager’ not have the same access to view accounts to resolve financial problems? Why would they ask me to go back to the shop to get an archive? Incompetent!

    @newscomauHQ The 🇦🇺 government does the same, on a much larger scale. Federal agencies (Immigration, ATO etc.) and major contractors have long outsourced call centres, customer service and IT work to the Philippines and India, thousands of roles. Telstra, banks and others do the same.

    @Telstra I'm an Aussie working in the US for a few years. I keep my Aussie mobile account paid for when I come home to visit. Can you please explain how mobile data charges are higher with you in Australia, compared to my US cell service on mobile roaming?

    @Telstra, how about you stop sending pointless notifications at 5am before I lodge a formal complaint to the TIO for disturbing my peace and quiet enjoyment. Like sleep. Morons.

    Google + Telstra announced an Australia/ APAC connectivity partnership for Al-era workloads. Google will secure inter-city dark fiber capacity on Telstra's Aura Network, and Telstra will access fiber pairs on Google's Tabua, Proa, and Bulikula subsea cable systems. Telstra says Aura already has 8,000+ km laid. $GOOG

    @the_LoungeFly @Telstra You have to go through the ombudsman to get an Australian staff member, someone with access to your records apparently or can fix anything. The call centers are just to keep you preoccupied long enough that you get sick of it and go away.

    @eevblog i spent 3 months fighting their absurdity over a business account, with them "doing it wrong" and then forgetting about it. the only solution was to raise a complaint and follow that process, which so far has taken a month. telstra is criminally incompetent :(

    @NicFromOz They use Telstra wholesale network, coverage shouldn’t change from what you have now, 4G, no 5G, I have used them, changed to Superloop though, tied in with NBN plan for bundle discount.

    Wow. @Telstra been down 2 days in areas of the Tenterfield area. Not good when most people only have mobiles now.
