Anonymous (@Efrwqt) reported@jbulldogs4 It's the Pope's media By law He's the Post Master General . Aka PMG Which here in Australia was what the current Telstra was called originally when the switchboards were operated by almost exclusively Catholic employees . Some things never change .
-
me, an internetual (@grrowl) reported@agileben @Telstra It’s so annoying, data has been down in Abbotsford for a week
-
afraid_au (@afraid_au) reported@AirsKeaton Nothing yet, I've tried contacting Telstra but because I'm not a Telstra customer they won't even talk to me.
-
James Bernard 🇦🇺✝️☕🎸 (@jamesabernard) reported@TopherField However, starlink is still ground linked through Telstra. Switch off Telstra & starlink goes down too.
-
Kråke (@Kroke14) reported@TruthFairy131 @Qantas are using the smoke screen of AI adoption to make offshoring Australian jobs to India more palatable while trying to portray itself as an Australian company. This **** seems to accelerate whenever there is an incompetent female CEO at the helm, just look at @Telstra
-
Juanessa (@Juanessa22) reported@BenCarrollMP Fuel crisis Ben!!!! What are you doing to alleviate the rising costs? You’ve announced nothing in this area. Also fix the VLine & Metro issues. We’ve heard zero post the Telstra outage. ZERO FFS!!!
-
Yoru Barman (@heg_emon) reportedStarlink Mobile (formerly Direct-to-Cell) is already live. About 650 satellites currently deliver text, location, and limited data/apps to unmodified LTE phones in dead zones via partners like T-Mobile (T-Satellite), Rogers, Telstra, KDDI and others across dozens of countries. Native high-speed 5G-level service and continuous global coverage (including poles) arrive with V2 satellites starting late 2027, targeting full planet by end of 2028 as per Grok.

Rusty Broo (@rustybroo) reported@SirMickW And how is it possible that @Telstra Brady gets $6.7 MILLION DOLLARS a year for buggering up the phones? #Telstra #Fail
-
Elizabeth Anne Kelly (@kellynettlefold) reportedUnacceptable Telstra and disgraceful. Calls attempted did not go thru. Bad. Another altage?
-
Sutho (Sharks) Dan (@SuthoDan2) reportedThose Telstra ads are SO ... ****** .. ****!!!
-
justin bandy (@justinbandy13) reported@daisymay4263 I can see one of Telstra towers in my town out my window...and reception is **** house... Telstra and their never ending rising rates with crap deals,...hope you enjoy your 7million,..ffffn useless

William Hawk (@WilliamOneHawk) reported@montrosegraham @News24Aust South Australian police confirmed there is nothing to suggest a regional South Australian woman's death was caused by the recent Telstra outage or any failure to connect to Triple Zero.

Di Downunder (@DFactualists) reportedF'ing @Telstra bill not due sends 50 reminders. I get the worst service & pay good money!!
-
𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐚'𝐬 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐨𝐲 (@SardineTruther) reportedI have some great stories regarding this while working for Telstra/Belong many years ago regarding the establishment of Telstra's 'Centre of Excellence' i.e. The Cut Salaries By 94% Factory. It destroyed 90% of non-binary customer service jobs based in Melbourne, plunging the Adventure Time fan-community of the city in to technical recession. It was a tale for the ages that I once posted and shortly after had to remove due to it's potentially defamatory nature. I'll post it again one day, but you'd have to DM me and swear to secrecy otherwise.
-
💧Daren Connor 🇦🇺 (@connor_daren) reported@Telstra you send me messages to say the network is having issues & use wifi calling but if the network is having issues which affects my devices then how the hell do I use wifi calling when there’s no network? How long will this be going on? This is the 4th day of these messages
-
Jumbarrawa (@jumbarrawa) reportedBut you get a whoops when your service goes down. You ever order a pizza and the shop takes a slice out and says can't help it? That's what Telstra is. And look at the profits in a cost-of-living crisis, ay. Whose cost of living ?? When do we adjust the books ay ?? @Telstra been with you lot for over 10 years at my address... not once have you even given me a router upgrade or checked if I'm on the best plan... where's your loyalty, ay ?? Winding down my credits and won't be coming back for dam sure. I'll learn Korean first and enjoy it more. 감사합니다

immyonboard (@immyonboard) reportedtelstra wifi network has went down for the 11th time in the past hour. it’s time to cut my losses, stop sucking up to a genuinely dogshit support service and move providers 💫 any recommendations? @Telstra who do i switch to?
-
Brent Hodgson (@BrentHodgson) reported@deborahbrian @aaronsmith @DHughesy Nor did the surpluses. Three-quarters of the $96 billion paid down under Howard (~$71.8bn) came from one-time public asset selloffs - including Telstra, Commonwealth Bank, DASFLEET, defence assets, Brisbane Airport, Melbourne Airport, Perth Airport, National Rail, Adelaide Airport, Darwin and Alice Springs Airports, Canberra Airport, Hobart Airport, the Australian Industry Development Corporation, Broadcast Australia (transmission towers)... A lot of those assets were sold at knock-down prices too - e.g. Broadcast Australia was sold at $650m, then the buyer sold it for twice that shortly after.

FREESPEECH101 (@FREESPEECH1017) reportedStarlink Direct to Cell sets another world record. Starlink DtC is now the first Commercially licensed DtC satellite provider to offer commercial continuous coverage service first on 7 Continents. 1 North America - TMobile US 2 South America - Entel Chile 3 Europe - Telefonica VMO2 - UK 5 Asia - KDDI - Japan 6 Africa - Airtel - DRC Congo 7 Australia - Telstra - Australia
-
Misinformation Fact Checker. (@MisinfoFact) reported@MChandlerMather Telstra having a monopoly over telecommunications made the service more expensive.
-
Audrey (@AudreyTay31079) reported@ellymelly Yes it is. My regional medical centre I have had the same doctor at for 30 years has been sold about a year ago. It’s now run by an offshore call centre in India and is now full of Indian doctors and I use that term loosely. I will never go to an immigrant doctor. Also in my small regional town , the Telstra shop all Indian staff, two of the 3 Pizza shops are Indian run, women walking around in Saris, all delivery drivers Indian. It’s an invasion!
-
ROBOFÈLLA (@AlexNz79) reported@BrentHodgson @TISM_Root Telstra offered an alternative 5G network to replace the aging copper network that mirrors system used overseas, with much higher speeds and reliability and the government decided to build there own assets, using leased Telstra floorspace & Paid Telstra to upgrade its exchanges.
-
Tim (@TimothyJ_23) reported@Telstra Nope just complete loss of 5G. I guess the venue is in East Perth so it's probably that. Any ETA on fix? Seems sporadic
-
Anoop Z (@anupelectro) reported@KobieThatcher It is same with Telstra Optus and Vodafone. Network monitoring is also done from India.
-
steve hearne (@stevehearne7) reported@DHughesy Howard and Costello sold telstra and our gold reserves at rock bottom prices, that is how they started the future fund, you brainless **** ****.
-
Di Pearton (@peartonjohnson) reportedPlease, police Telstra theft. Annual fee for prepaid mobile phone service, up from $350 to $395??
-
Sienna Cooper 🇦🇺 (@X726372533) reportedWhy is nobody talking about how when 3G towers were turned off, reception with @Telstra turned to crap? 4G and 5G provide worse coverage than we had with 3G. But we pay more now. Make it make sense.
-
Australian 🧡 (@ozcrimenews) reported@ABloke23180 Lol ... i vaguely remember that too, a reform of all reforms to shift to a consumption based system of taxation. wasn't the sale of CBA, QAN, Medibank, Telstra supposed to pay down our national debt?
-
Nicole Kennedy 🇦🇺 (@kennedylnicole) reported@Telstra I have requested cancellation of a service on four separate occasions, yet continue to be charged multiple times. This morning your chat team again asked whether I wish to cancel it. Please confirm the cancellation under reference 130242508 and address my complaint 136862308 at your earliest convenience. Thank you.

Gus (@gus_bibi_graeme) reported@ElizabethAttar5 Telstra service was way better before competition was introduced as a way to improve service. Come to think of it all services were better before we started privatising to improve services and pricing
