-
Savas (@savasmelb) reported@disco___cat I’m happy with a Boost 365 day plan and they use the full Telstra network. No point paying a premium for the Telstra brand I think.
-
Dreamie/Bean/Beanie🐰🧚♀️🧜♀️ (@bean_dreaming) reported@Empty_jr Like I was In Cloncurry for a week a few years back and I got **** service (even while on Telstra) when I travelled to Cloncurry to Mount Isa.
-
Bob Dee (@BobDee12) reported@AugusteReign @belinduhpyne @Ryandally08 Opportunity lost. This is a major problem with privatisation Federal Government owned and operated COR etc Oz was a mixed economy once which gave Oz a high standard of living L/NP wants taxpayers to pay for nuclear. Where are Oz true entrepreneurs? CBA, Telstra, CSL etc etc gone
-
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.
-
Frances Daily (@Frances__Daily) reported@AlanBixter @Telstra Not to mention their email service BigPond’s which frequently has issues…
-
澳洲袋鼠 🇦🇺🦘 (@popgomouse) reported@BlairPring81213 @cjoye When Howard partially privatised Telstra, it retained the countrywide copper landline backbone, a network monopoly. All telcos and ISPs needed to connect to Telstra landline. Telstra usually took a long time to find the keys to exchanges when other telcos asked to connect. 3/8

The real wrestling critic (@DanielRolf19187) reported@Telstra Telstra sucks three days no Wi-Fi Telstra is bullshit
-
Will G (@willgotsis) reported@Gatty54 Same thing happened to us few years ago. Telstra, JB Hi-Fi, lucky it was all at like 3am and our bank put a hold on our card (debit card). We found out it was a girl in reception at a hotel we paid for. We confirmed details with her of card over phone. Never again. Ours was $9K.
-
kane (@kanethesaint) reported@eevblog If you turn on Data Roaming when in Vodafone, in areas where there is poor coverage, it will connect to an Optus tower to fill the gap. This only works for Vodafone and not Optus or Telstra.
-
Sifu Strider (@RayzSkieyWalker) reportedAussies need Starlink, it is far faster, more reliable and more secure than the Telstra backbone - which FYI is open access to bad actor hackers who get into your PC via INSECURE modem design.
-
Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@RichardTheLegit @robb_j_m Leaptel. All the big RSPs are terrible because they know they get customers just because of the name. Leaptel typically outperforms Telstra even during peak periods.
-
Pepehands (@Inferno357) reported@Mark49438347 @PubRockVersion Telstra is required to operate payphones as part of the Universal Service Obligations, except they're now free because they can't be bothered fixing them everytime some some bogan smashes open the coin box.
-
Ben (@beninthecapita1) reportedIt’s funny how Telstra has never really rebranded despite their logo, looking like it was made using Microsoft paint.
-
JoshAtticus (@joshatticus) reported@ElManuSantander Wait, technicolor? The same company that makes the garbage Telstra smart routers?
-
Bahar 🇮🇷🇦🇺 (@B4H4R_F) reportedI’m paying over $150 to @Telstra and $75 to @Origin for internet, yet I can’t even share a simple story about Iran. Telstra and Origin, you’re the worst. If I’m paying this much and still getting blocked or restricted, what exactly am I paying for? I’ll be cancelling tomorrow! Even if it costs me. This is unacceptable.
-
Icanhaveaopinion (@whateveryeahnah) reported@Optus @Telstra @AlboMP ******* peace of ****, ******* useless ******* telecommunications. ******* piece of **** ******* useless ********* who make decisions on this ******* ****. Little wonder businesses are going out of ******* business and no one wants to ******* invest
-
Lilen (@Lilens) reported@chopwisegamji @BobBurn97207272 No infrastructure build is complete lie though, what about West Connex and Bruce highway. Upgrade on Adelaide Hospital, Footscray hospitals and NBN ( never liked it) all done during last 29 years. And don’t forget labour sold of remaining Telstra ownership on 2011!! Come at me
-
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.
-
Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@Feintglow @robb_j_m Or just change providers that actually want to provide a proper service and want happy customers. Rather than Optus, Telstra etc that don't care and know people aren't smart enough to change
-
Natasha (@Natasha19317558) reported@AlanBixter @Telstra I betcha Malcolm Turnbull doesn’t have any internet problems. Didn’t Turnbull 🎩downgrade us plebs from fibre to the node to copper in our gutter?
-
Glen Appleby (@realglenappleby) reported@PollyPorridge Been ok lately. But sick of - pointless kayo ads for the kayo service - gambling being the primary advertiser - Telstra / Harvey Norman being the rest Kayo has excellent targeted to postcode ads for elections - but clearly there isn’t anyone new adverting
-
Danny (@danny_v8) reported@bek_lenin @MmeMaigret1 @ashman_the Keating/Hawke began the sell off. Commonwealth Bank, Telstra etc. Costello/Howard continued with it. Just as bad as each other. Rudd with his ‘stimulus cheques’ got us into debt which has spiralled to today’s numbers.
-
Kim B (@too_good1) reported@Telstra what’s going on with internet in area code 2640?? It’s been up & down constantly since Wednesday.. 8 times dropping out. Is it inland rail causing the issue??? We are close to train station.. call centre is no help!
-
GailT (@GBTSocScientist) reported@AlanBixter @Dehler45 @Telstra My internet SO SLOW 2day!
-
Michelle Burrows (@ChelleAB) reportedI’ll second this. I note Albanese has no issue shackling the ALP’s NBN around our necks despite Telstra either.
-
zay🦭 (@ovrdosedeluzion) reportedtelstra is actually so **** im gonna kms
-
Who is Dutchy (@Dutchyisgood) reported@Telstra hey can we get decent coverage on the Mornington peninsula its **** and you charge a premium were worse than a third world country
-
BhagsNStonks (@BhagsNStonks) reported@disco___cat You can use boost mobile which is Telstra though a little cheaper. I'm with Vodafone now and yes you do notice the service drop compared to Telstra
-
It's the climate, stupid! (@lightgolightly) reported@JayJay1094727 @AlanBixter @Telstra No. They come out and fix it.
-
Frau (@AuFrau4655) reported@1234jscot @Rainmaker1973 They can. In Australia my company phone is on Telstra Business. I have never received a single spam call in the many years I have had it. My personal phone on a cheap network on the other hand....
