-
Jackson To (@jacksonto888) reported@EFTM “Good time to bury bad news moment” kind of timing. Does it mean Telstra didn’t have the money before to improve services in prior years due to technology changes?
-
💧Jac 🗝🇵🇸 (@Jaccal68) reported@westonnights You ain’t seen nothin yet Current Business Context (2025–2026) Telstra is currently executing its "Connected Future 30" strategy, which emphasizes building a self-optimising "Autonomous Network". The company frequently uses AICC forums to stay connected with Israeli high-tech developments that can support these infrastructure goals.” AICC being the Australia-Israel Chamber of Commerce

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.
-
Leon Ha (@Fabulous_Red) reported.@Telstra Can you please explain why scheduled maintenance for 4G network in a suburb can affect my 5G connectivity 🛜? Messages cannot be sent nor received, emails do not load and nothing work on my phone despite my phone showing 5G connectivity 😡. LH

Mel (@its_me_mel_xx) reportedI'm almost done with @Telstra. Two months in a row I've had bill problems with Foxtel by Telstra. I tried to cancel it a couple weeks ago but they gave me a good discount. Get new bill today, discount applied BUT the price of it went up, wiping out the discount. 🤬🤬
-
Mick P (@cimatesrv) reported@Telstra every other service provider I use was able to give my bills for the past 3 years. You on the other hand seem to find rhe request really difficult and can't do it. Why am I not surprised. Absolute embarrassment to the nation.
