    I’ll second this. I note Albanese has no issue shackling the ALP’s NBN around our necks despite Telstra either.

    @odden56 @thedose__ Telstra is awful, Australia has some of the worst internet speed for any developed country.

    @NedKellysReveng @RealDonKeith Shut up *****. You sound gay. Considering I had to help Telstra pull you ****** retards into the 21st century technologically, I don’t give a **** what you mfs have to say about us “yanks.”

    @mikjcal @kpmuddle @Mr_Fanta_Pants Voda did a network sharing deal with Optus so they get all of Optus' rural coverage & Optus gets access to Voda's towers & fibre in areas Optus don't have a presence to install their radio gear and build out their network. Optus does very well vs Telstra in regional these days.

    Telstra and EE feel very consistent in service quality, while Singtel and NTT Docomo stand out more for their technology and innovation approach.

    @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.

    @Telstra Personal i tried to do as you suggested got a txt msg saying my requests was not able to delivered on called your help centre they sent me a link filled in information now have to wait 5 days. TPG did it straight away all the way back to when I opened an account with them

    @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

  • BrowntownBrew

    @LambDownUnder @bigboatbruce @james00000001 We never had true competition before because Telstra controlled it all. We wouldn't be in the mess if LNP didn't sell Telstra as a single entity despite being advised to split. Then they wouldn't split and participate in the nbn build similar to NZ.

    Australians have a social contract with Australia Post and Telstra, to provide an equitable service across our whole country, regardless of how remotely and away from the eastern capitals people live and work. If the Minister can't ensure that, then resign!

  • HansOrph
    🇺🇦Hans Orph🇺🇦 (@HansOrph) reported

    Cya Telstra you've increased the price for the second time in <12mths, aren't willing to even discuss it beyond "it is what it is, we're the best" (paraphrasing). So @Telstra's lack of client retention attempts has lost me as a customer. I'm paying out and moving on.

  • Yarrahbunjyil
    ****** (@Yarrahbunjyil) reported

    @AlboMP And if Telstra were repairing lines in the bush instead of letting them rot while they "roll-out the NBN", I might even take advantage of it. But they're not, so the Service Agreement isn't being honoured, the TIO won't do anything, & no one gives a damn. So thanks for nothing!

    @taximalsVT Foxtel was ****, and when Telstra first Introduced the High speed net, It really was Super fast high speed net for the first few months.. We got heaps. But they realised this, and all ISP's have been throttling the **** out of it every since.

    @Telstra New NBN, wanted Foxtel, bought Fetch. But Fetch can’t get Foxtel, can’t cancel, no refund no return, throw the Fetch box in the bin, or they said “they would recycle it responsibly”. Now I want some real science, an energy balance not virtue signalling .

    Agaiinnnnnnn @Telstra again. A war widow with a serious heart condition without the use of her phone because of an nbn outage. But how does that affect the mobile phone useage Youre the absolute worst company. She feels cut off from the world. But hey she has the internet

  • Daisy1158

    .@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!

    After being a loyal customer to Telstra for as long as I can remember, starting with prepaid credit to a Bring Your Own Device simcard plan, I've swapped to Belong mobile. I'm not accepting a ten dollar increase to my phone bill with no additional exrltras. **** you Telsta.

    @Telstra No idea i havent spoken to her yet but this is a fair bit of crap youre pulling on an elderly and vulnerable woman... could almost inch into elder abuse considering youll still ask her to pay her full bill

  • Frafflee
    Madge (@Frafflee) reported

    @Telstra you send me a bill. I want to open it on my phone. But no I have to sign in. I don’t want to. I shouldn’t have to. No other utility provider has the hoops you put in place. Just like they allow payment via a payment portal not via their website. Do better.

    And Telstra support said it was a fault, after a hour and a half of trouble shooting. I checked NBN and looks like a service outage in our area - checked a couple of addresses in our road. How long do these usually take to resolve? I was looking forward to a good long weekend :(
