    @dowhatonemustdo @Telstra I was on a plane so couldn't use that service. But having been told it was either because of my plan or because of my modem, they then said they could just activate it at their end...which they could have done 4 hours ago

    @stevehearne7 @arbsmichael @Marilynrules1 A portion of Telstra was sold for $45b and the rest put into the future fund, totalling $54b+. Telstra is worth $62b right now. This was an excellent deal for Australia. Kevin Rudd introducing the NBN has nothing to do with Howard and Costello and it was also only $11b. Idiot

    @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

    @katsukisparkles the problem is telstra wont let us and we dont wanna switch because they own our phone numbers and it sucks to change numbers on everything

  • EBlackwell6280
    Elizabeth Blackwell (@EBlackwell6280) reported

    @twoshedslegit @angelar68197975 They sold commercial businesses, not core sovereign functions, worth around $72 billion, including Telstra, the Commonwealth Bank, airports, and rail assets. I thought selling the airports and rail assets was a mistake. At the time they were losing money, so a long-term lease arrangement might have been a better approach than outright sale. That said, it was hardly a “Thatcherite disaster.” In many cases privatisation improved efficiency and competition, telecommunications being a clear example. Critics often highlight the lost future dividends, but overlook the massive debt reduction, the interest savings, and the fact that governments are generally poor at running commercial operations. .

    @diss_presso @robb_j_m The problem was that Telstra weren't going to upgrade as they were using the money to install mobile towers and letting the fixed line to rot. Before being sold off they were looking at upgrade paths, but that all got stopped. Telstra were only interested in killing competition

    @AvidCommentator I have abandoned NBN. Service is atrocious as it is mediated through the Telcos. You can’t get to an NBN tech directly. They cancelled five appointments made for me via Telstra saying not an NBN problem. But it was just like the other three times. Now have Telstra 5 G. So simple

    @bazingashane0 @Telstra I hammer my upload. If I want to work from home, corporate vpn 5-10 up plus voice 2 to 5 up, plus remote support ( usually SCCM remote) 5 to 10 up, plus all the stuff my home network is doing as per above and you can see that I'm hobbled on 20Mbps up line rate, I actually need 40

    @DanielWeisman5 how are large private corporations any different with service? Complained to Telstra lately? Qantas? One of the major reasons public hospital have a huge waiting list at emergency is because private clinics close early, and are fairly useless and always sending patients there.

    @bazingashane0 @Telstra The fact that my Download is fine, 100 Mbps download line speed (Actually 109 for some reason) I can run speed tests all day to Melbourne or Hobart and get near close to 100Mbps down (or a bit more thanks to the magic of multi mode connections)

    Went from $200 a month for Telstra to $55 a month with Aldi Mobile, which given our location is practically the same network and performance level as what we had before. It is so easy to bleed money without realising.

  • hairyredmanlet
    Sam Rusty Rennie (@hairyredmanlet) reported

    It's worth remembering that the Howard Government paid down debt with asset sales rather than genuine fiscal conservatism, and this time around, there isn't a Telstra or Qantas to sell. That said, the spending binge from late 2007 onwards makes Howard look like Milei.

    @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.

    @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

  • MyNameIsMurray
    Murray (@MyNameIsMurray) reported

    @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.

    @arbsmichael FCAT CHECK: You fail to mention Howard and Costello achieved this by selling off assets including Telstra, Reserve Bank gold reserves, ABC/SBS towers and the National Rail Corporation. They sold Australians out.

    @ArtistAffame @Brocklesnitch I used to ring Telstra after my night shift and I’d doze off and wake up and still be on hold so I’d hang up and go to bed and try again next morning.
