    @arbsmichael Howard sold off flogged off Telstra even though he told us only half & then came back for the rest, he wasted the mining boom. Oh, and Howard’s crowning glory was to flog off our gas for a song so we pay exorbitant prices for decades. Howard a major fail even Costello agreed.

    Today’s customer service cvnts winner is Telstra. 2.5 hours on the chat line to just cancel an internet Foxtel connection which they stuffed up and then gave me the Indian Call Centre shuffle. OH we undertaken your frustration bullshit. We deserve better service from Australians.

    @robb_j_m everyone ******* moaned and kniffed Rudd in the back they then sold it off to telstra because this stupid government doesn't know how to create money they only know how to Tax

    Do I need to be an ABN holder or otherwise registered as a business to try one of @Telstra 's business internet plans? If I try a business internet plan, is it going to mess up my residential phone service? Would I be forced to replace my modem?

    @FOXFOOTY can we have subtitles or the Telstra interpreter service with this commentary?

    @Lindajwil @Telstra Sorry to hear you are experiencing issues Linda. Organisations have so little consideration for customers and it is unacceptable when, like you, they are having to deal with so much.

    @eevblog I have both, NBN service stability is far less than Starlink's, so it is my backup. I could probably push traffic through both, did that with Telstra and Optus cable modems back in the day, but Starlink is so fast I haven't needed to bother.

    @MacFlashmanInc @markbouris @Rocket60271713 This **** **** sold Telstra, the airports and our gold reserves for a once off surplus & no govt was able balance the budget for 20 years because of his economic vandalism This filth should be in a cell with Costello

    @AlanBixter @Telstra But it barely gives our public transport issues a run for the money.

    @itsiclassic Like I would've just gone and called support from one of the free Telstra payphones if I'd known it was gonna take that long and the store couldn't do anything

    @Telstra Is there any update on why there is no network capacity at the largest train station in Victoria. It was so bad my iPhone went to SoS / satellite mode today? I’m seeing all these ads that the network and coverage is so good yet in Melbourne cbd I can’t use my phone….

    @ArealHughes I am being billed for a Telstra account that does not exist. How much am I billed? Nothing. It does not exist, so there is no service. But the idiots at Telstra dutifully bill me every month. I have been into their shop 4 times trying to kill this account.

    @DavidLeyonhjelm @georgios197 @DanielPriestley Luck... and both the timely full privatisation of Telstra, and the complete offloading of Australian gold reserves (nearly tanking our, and world markets in the process). Howard only balanced the books by selling off a LOT of stuff that ended up creating problems later on.

    @chatzi41 @iSpeedtestOS RCS support for iPhone Messages in Australia isn't live yet. Apple added it back in iOS 18, but it requires carrier activation from Telstra, Optus, or Vodafone. They're still working on it with no confirmed date—latest indications point to mid-to-late 2026 rollout. Contact your carrier for the latest.

    @Telstra when are you going to support RCS for iPhone in Australia because I would like to have it so green bubbles don't mess up group messages @Apple

  • 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.

  • Trev__Says
    Trev (@Trev__Says) reported

    @markbouris That economic vandal **** **** sold our gold reserves, our airports, Telstra & all our revenue producing assets in a fire sale to generate a once off surplus for the weak minded. No gov for 20 years was able to balance a budget because of this criminal He should be in a cell

    @Telstra, you can eat a bag of ***** DIGGs .. not payin 113 a month for your dodgy, slow internet. . will let my 6 months infront wind down and never ever use your services again. BOOOO to your poxy heads.

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

    @AllieHollyS I’m with Aldi! $29 a month, data rolls over & uses the Telstra network

  • awthorpe
    Andrew Thorpe (@awthorpe) reported

    @Telstra It isn’t unplanned outages there is a lack of capacity in the Telstra network in that part of the cbd. It has been bad for ages like dial up speeds but is getting worse to the point of unusable. How do you let the network engineers know that they need to review and do something
