    @Telstra Thanks Febey. Sadly still not working. It’s a simple fix, not sure why it hasn’t been done after five days.

    @Telstra It could be my device needs a restart but it could also be that the service you guys at Telstra actually provide doesn’t match what the sales reps and advertising promise

    @AlanBixter @Telstra The troubles our poor telecommunications infrastructure caused during Ausfires few years ago, I can personally attest to,

    WTF have you done to us now (@melissajay77418) reported

    @BrowntownBrew @robb_j_m Some people paid for full fibre to afterward be told connection in that area is still to direct to node & were in a dead spot. Telstra occasionally do a few upgrades but it never really fixes anything. Its a big country, we don't all live in the city.

    @Telstra GREEDY ARSEHOLES!!! Isn't it funny how Telstra, that great Australian company, keeps ignoring me? If someone from lovely Telstra does reach out to me they won’t want to discuss my concerns in public. We want to help you, Tony. Please private DM us.

    @diss_presso @robb_j_m There was no free market competition before because of Telstra. The substandard part of the network is slowly being replaced as people sign up for the free fibre upgrade

  • akintowarlock

    @AlboMP They also forced companies such as Telstra to sell me down the river, giving them unsolicited access to every single bit of what I do online 24/7. I remind you I have absolutely no criminal record. And even access the databases of the government, any and all legal forms I ever interacted with or approached or even considered, even supermarket transactions and camera data are delved into by them, posting the contents online ridiculing, mocking and insulting them. Even though they are the ones who have actively across the board disadvantaged me to a point of non-survival.

    @joey8bitz @1WeakGuttedDog Using the network doesn’t mean they get the same priority and boost speeds are also capped otherwise there would be no benefit going with Telstra and paying more. I get what you’re trying to say but your comprehension is terrible.

    @KymRob25112 No idea in Qld. But in Sydney Telstra has sadly become the only option. The complete mess up with triple zero calls ( carrier errors) no mistake in that. The tower's aren't coping with this change. Regional with fewer options. That's harsh. Hope 🙏

    The InfraDev (@theinfradev) reported

    @malimber01 @robb_j_m What are you talking about. The NBN was created from nothing and only cost so much in the end because it was saddled with Telstra's **** copper infra by the libs and had to essentially build it twice.

  • joey8bitz
    calmingdown (@joey8bitz) reported

    @1WeakGuttedDog Boost or JBHIFI cheaper and on Telstra network. Real no brainer. Vodafone unreliable.

  • AlanBixter
    Alan Baxter ♛ (@AlanBixter) reported

    Usually @Telstra is happy to jump on line and offer a fix (of sorts) to complaints about their terrible service. Not today. They have no fix for no fibre, flooded and archaic coaxial, and massively overloaded 5G. Too long bullshitting govt and shareholders. They just can't cope.

    @PaulineHansonOz @Mummymobbsback1 This is not a bad policy. It's pretty good. As long as the people representing the tax payers are legit and not multimillion dollar leeches like we had with Telstra. And also they must be born in Australia. No foreigners to run the taxpayers interests.

  • TolsonKiefer
    Tolly 🇦🇺 (@TolsonKiefer) reported

    @stevehearne7 @arbsmichael @Marilynrules1 A portion of Telstra was sold for $45b and the rest put into the future fund, totalling $54b+. Telstra is worth $62b right now. This was an excellent deal for Australia. Kevin Rudd introducing the NBN has nothing to do with Howard and Costello and it was also only $11b. Idiot

    @llelectronics @thesamuelnam Vodafone Network: Unlike Telstra and Optus, offers a 90-day grace period for international visitors with non-compliant phones. If you use a Vodafone local SIM or purchase a travel eSIM that specifically runs on the Vodafone Australia network, your phone will work normally.

    Has Telstra mobile been dog **** for anyone else in Sydney recently? Just tons more black spots of no coverage on 5g?

    @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!

  • ColinCleanEnery

    @sydney_ev Actually it has been failing across remote Australia for decades. Telstra has unreliable network coverage as the middle of Australia can not have enough sunshine for their solar for days.

  • SNOOPREY77
    SNOOPREY (@SNOOPREY77) reported

    @Telstra Again I was having the issues through the week of completely losing internet for short periods . My question at the time was why as I checked and there were no outages . Yes it’s seems better today but I’m not asking about today

  • imKMOZ
    Kmoz (@imKMOZ) reported

    @shivjam @AllieHollyS Do belong!!! They have $35, $45 I believe and $55 and the $55 has HEAPS of data and you can keep your number and it’s still on Telstra network

  • rockfistlee
    David Abbott (@rockfistlee) reported

    So i get a notice from Telstra my bill is going up due to increased data use, i have a cap of 1000gb that i never go over, i hink thats a bit unfair!!!

    @bazingashane0 @Telstra I hammer my upload. If I want to work from home, corporate vpn 5-10 up plus voice 2 to 5 up, plus remote support ( usually SCCM remote) 5 to 10 up, plus all the stuff my home network is doing as per above and you can see that I'm hobbled on 20Mbps up line rate, I actually need 40

    @SkyNewsAust Every business contributes tax revenue to the government, and extending the licence ‘could’ help raise additional funds. Will this create more jobs, or lead to layoffs like we’ve seen at Telstra and the big four banks, taking into consideration in the current climate?
