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. 🤬🤬
-
Dale Pilling (Him, He, good bloke mate) ⚓️💜⚓️💜 (@Freo_Dale) reportedHey @Telstra, just got an email advising me of new prices for something I hardly ever use but need it anyways. You give me nothing aside from the Telstra service, so why the new charges? How do you justify it? Looks like I might need to find a new provider.

Brett Brooks (@brettbrooks) reported@Telstra Is the online support / chat on the website fried? It's cut me off three times now. Another price hike, the second in 10 months with $2-2.3 BILLON profit a year?

Ricky🏄🏼♂️🦋 (@galumay) reported@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.

There’s Only One Jezza (@StandMeOver) reported@herecomessuper And don’t forget the useless **** is the one who gave us NBN. That basically created another government run Telstra. For a technology that was never required.

M_a_r_ke (@Ma_rk_e) reported@IceStationSpmda @fag_daughter Telstra has been paid for decades to provide a payphone service it cost more to fix vandalism then Telstra collected in call revenue, it's simply cheaper to make it free

AussiEx.au (@aussiExau) reportedPhone bills are about to bite harder - Optus, Telstra and Vodafone have told customers mobile prices will rise soon, squeezing household budgets across Australia. First, the hikes are being driven by higher network and operating costs, inflation and ongoing 5G investment, and will hit both postpaid accounts and some prepaid users. Second, timing and scale differ by provider - some increases take effect within weeks and could outpace general inflation, so expect clear monthly impacts. Third, consumer protections are limited - check your contract, know your exit rights and review small-business plans. Act now: compare plans, contact your provider for options and escalate to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman or ACCC if you need help. #Telecoms #CostOfLiving #Australia

RugbyRules (@RugbyRules) reported@techAU I attended a conference where the head of the Australian Signal Directorate gave an overview of Cybersecurity risks. He noted circa >64k known vulnerabilities. I wouldn’t wait for it to become a headline… I will be removing all TP-Link, Netgear (Telstra smart modem) from service in my home. Roborock vacuum will need a replacement too, I am looking for a suggestion on that front.

The Fighting Roo (@TheFightingRoo) reportedTelstra’s service for 5G is that slow in North Melbourne it makes modern tech useless. I have 2 bars & 4g speed. @Telstra you are a garbage service nowadays.

davie ewan macdonald (@escalatorover) reported.@Telstra In 2025 I had an issues with Telstar email outgoing server to my desktop. Eventually after 8 weeks Telstra finally accepted they were a cause of the dysfunction of my application. Today after 7 weeks I have had cause to write the following to Telstra. Dear Help Desk (Vicki Brady) Last Thursday and I don't know if it was in response to my previous write message (ONE OF SEVERAL) I was via text/sms promised a support call. New Case/reference Number 129518320 I have heard nothing! This issue with your server connectivity to my desk top application,encryption to your server incoming to my app means this matter has been ongoing now for 7 weeks. In April/May 2025 it took Telstra 8 weeks to accept responsibility. In the meantime I have been struggling with Webmail and today I can report in detail recorded over the past 3 days 11 (Eleven) separate bugs in webmail that are repeated multiple times amounting to 21 (Twenty One) cases of dysfunctional instances this morning. These issues reported at least as far back as 2023 but were again at various times over the past 7 (Seven) weeks. Only with a desktop application can these issues be minimized. The last consultant prior to my message of last week was highly disingenuous with me saying he would keep the case open until I as I offered to do again consult MS about the issues . The outcome was he simply closed the case as reported to you Tuesday last. DM's not accepted. Here is fine. Nothing to hide

Ron Henry (@RonHenryCC) reportedIt is OK @kayo It casts well from the phone. I suspect using 5G. So it is possibly a @Telstra server problem.
