Rodger John Riach (@RiachRodger) reportedABSOLUTE garbage John HOWARD / Peter Costello with the VITAL votes of Barn A bee Joyce & Tasmanian Independent Senators Telstra SOLD OFF along with all future Revenue Joyce COST Aus way more that his worth
-
RedFive (@RedFiveynwa) reported@aussiExau @AFL @Telstra Who ******** are you even talking to
-
Pat Caplice (@tassiepatrat) reported@robb_j_m $90 a month. NBN Wireless through Telstra. Good service. Few faults. 6 person house so many devices.
-
landman (@hasselljpb) reported@telstra had a phone call today but because our service has dropped so badly I didn’t take it because it would have been futile! Turns out it was a near neighbour who had a terrible traffic accident! Luckily they got hold of wifey who is the ambulance officer. We need better!!!!
-
Dre🅰️d (@5ingularitea) reported@RocketTank123 Aussies have love/hate relationship with Telstra. It is the most expensive and customer service often terrible but for rural coverage it is the best by far. Optus or Vodafone would love to take some of Telstra’s pie with $ASTS remote coverage
-
Jumbarrawa (@jumbarrawa) reported@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.
-
InnerQuasar35 (@Pom_Bazooka) reported@laughingconser1 @jockie_c They sold more than just the retail arm of Telstra which is the problem; they were a monopoly unlike CBA and Qantas. They also sold gold reserves and our airports. Privatised public debt, and despite all this embarrassingly handed over a structural deficit. Incompetence.
-
Ruby (@Ruby3560) reported@asphotos @thatfancypear @IceStationSpmda Yep, I remember seeing the original briefing for these units and the installation guide for the GBS Team at Telstra There are still a surprising amount of phones still on the PSTN network slowly being moved off
-
Marcus Wong (@aussiewongm) reported@rainbowdefault @AJAllchin @Telstra And an upside of this is there is now an unpaid army of people testing whether the payphones are actually still working, rather than some poor chump in an emergency getting stranded.
-
Whimsy Wolfie (@wolfie_games17) reported@AllieHollyS I’m with Aldi! $29 a month, data rolls over & uses the Telstra network
-
SNOOPREY (@SNOOPREY77) reported@Telstra Mobile service , reception lately has been slow on both personal and work phone
-
ichi (@ichimikichiki) reported@Lisa9Sophia He's just an idiot. Remember when he added double the cost to the NBN because he wanted to use broken copper network in a corruption deal to bail out Telstra / Rupert Murdoch.
-
This Dalek's Workday 🇺🇦💉💉💉 (@YUHeff2BSoGreen) reportedai isn't as scary as the blind trust some people have of whatever ai-tainted search result sits at the top of the page. this guy at the telstra shop tried to tell me an 11 digit number starting with 1888 was the boost support number. we don't have phone numbers that long.
-
Dave Jones (@eevblog) reported@asphotos Science isn't going to help when the system is clogged because the NBN is down and many thousands of people are trying to find workarounds. Telstra in the park has collapsed, and Optus is struggling.
-
Trev (@Trev__Says) reported@2D_laSol @arbsmichael I blame these 2 vile **** ***** They sold off everything that was not nailed down in a once off fire sale so that no govt for 20 years was able to balance a budget Telstra, CBA, the airports, our gold all gone These grubs should be in jail
-
Chris Eastaughffe (AZ Vac done) (@Chris_E_Qld_Au) reportedI had established with Telstra complaints issue is with RINGER at exchange (e.g. other party hears ringing, but my end doesn't ring). INC42292959, complaint 131187000, so ******* tests my line at box, doesn't come in, DOESN'T KNOW PROBLEM, leaves card. INCOMPETENCE ALL ROUND! FFS
-
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.
-
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
-
OzSeahawksFan (@OzSeahawks) reported@Telstra absolute garbage, non-existent customer service (overseas idiots that dont understand english). Pathetic!!!
-
AL (@asewell6) reported@Optus what disgraceful experience. Into the second day of trying to upgrade my internet. @Telstra do you want a new customer?
-
SNOOPREY (@SNOOPREY77) reported@Telstra No buffering issues but it was stuttering but again today is not what I was complaining about
-
Lizzy (@LizzyZeel) reported@AlanBixter Ahh yes, the joys of having every Telstra support person go through the same failed script (re-start modem, check cables, blah, blah...) & then sending a new modem - which still doesn't fix the problem 😡. I have quite the collection now.
-
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
-
calmingdown (@joey8bitz) reported@enz2g @1WeakGuttedDog Telstra is really going to hinder its own company 🙄 You, are the ******. Telstra has shareholders that want as MUCH money as possible. There is no way they would intentionally jeopardise that. You are full of ****, plain and simple.
-
Yaswantha Kovuru (@YKovuru) reported@connectgurmeet Hi @connectgurmeet :2/2 Even though Telstra cars do fail and however, we are country of people,gets fachinated by things that are done by west and not appreciatethe efforts put in by our own entreprenuers. Hope this changes and so that our guys do get the deserved respect by PEs
-
Vernon Deer (@D64861Deer) reported@Totally4yeah @Tank9999 I have bottle gas for cooking & a wood fire stove (about 80yrs old) for cooking and heating in winter and a wood heater, evap cooling and use town water. Even the batteries are secondhand, most from Telstra swap-outs. Have had 1 battery fail in 25 years.
-
enz (@enz2g) reported@joey8bitz @1WeakGuttedDog You’re so confidently wrong. No **** it’s Telstra, I’ve used both and I’m fully aware Telstra own boost. Boost is a budget provider and receives lower priority to the network, it isn’t rocket science. My second phone is on boost and performs worse than my wife’s Telstra phone.
-
RochfordAlexAR (@rochfordalexAR) reportedDo 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?
-
Pat Fenis (@BigStrawDog) reported@kai_h @algorithmsayshi Thinking either the eero modems have a built in VPN I cannot locate n disable or the router detecting Telstra AND AGL is causing it to not trust our IP. Also unsure why NBA would care if we are in Syd or melb as far as licensing issues as it's the same market. Frustrating.

Chris Eastaughffe (AZ Vac done) (@Chris_E_Qld_Au) reportedINCOMPETENCE of Telstra knows no bounds! There is a "ringer" problem across Telstra network with copper landlines (exchange problem). They have marked it is FIXED to HIDE the absolute stuff up. I made a complaint about the LIES, INCOMPETENCE; FUCKWITS sent someone to test my line
