-
Andrew Cunningham (@AS_Cunningham) reported@BrilliantMaps As a Canadian who has never been there: Qantas, Macquarie, BHP, Telstra and a couple of banks are the only names that ring a bell.

Dr Angeline Brasier 💜 (@AngelineBrasier) reported@merkin_about its when online security works against the very elderly and their carers. we had this trouble with Telstra. they kept texting a security code to a number that wasn't our's. Mum didn't understand ended up having to get the ombudsman involved.
-
Beth D Kicinski (@no1historychick) reported@MichaelWestBiz @sainsburychina Loyalty programs are the ultimate con. Telstra just emailed me to say my mobile plan will be increasing by $5/mth, but my service won't improve. I'm unwillingly signed up to their "Rewards" - something built into the pricing. This should be outlawed.

Aron Roach (@AronRoach7) reported@taximalsVT Foxtel was ****, and when Telstra first Introduced the High speed net, It really was Super fast high speed net for the first few months.. We got heaps. But they realised this, and all ISP's have been throttling the **** out of it every since.

davie ewan macdonald (@escalatorover) reported.@Telstra In 2025 I had an issues with Telstar email outgoing server to my desktop. Eventually after 8 weeks Telstra finally accepted they were a cause of the dysfunction of my application. Today after 7 weeks I have had cause to write the following to Telstra. Dear Help Desk (Vicki Brady) Last Thursday and I don't know if it was in response to my previous write message (ONE OF SEVERAL) I was via text/sms promised a support call. New Case/reference Number 129518320 I have heard nothing! This issue with your server connectivity to my desk top application,encryption to your server incoming to my app means this matter has been ongoing now for 7 weeks. In April/May 2025 it took Telstra 8 weeks to accept responsibility. In the meantime I have been struggling with Webmail and today I can report in detail recorded over the past 3 days 11 (Eleven) separate bugs in webmail that are repeated multiple times amounting to 21 (Twenty One) cases of dysfunctional instances this morning. These issues reported at least as far back as 2023 but were again at various times over the past 7 (Seven) weeks. Only with a desktop application can these issues be minimized. The last consultant prior to my message of last week was highly disingenuous with me saying he would keep the case open until I as I offered to do again consult MS about the issues . The outcome was he simply closed the case as reported to you Tuesday last. DM's not accepted. Here is fine. Nothing to hide

Kuldeep Sharma (@Kuldeep3085720) reported@Telstra I buy second hand device now any chance ? My phone is network lock country lock

Salt N pepper 🌶️ (@Partytime63) reported@MarkAClarkson @Telstra May be blackout your mobile number to avoid people using it for wrong reasons

Michael Pearce (Westie) (@WestCoast4Life0) reported@AFL @Telstra WTF is this bullshit 😒
-
Alan Baxter ♛ (@AlanBixter) reported@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.
-
jchoop.hl (@jchoop) reported@MarkoMatvikov Hahahha no not at all, I just wanted to pass along that during the swapping over process he said the exact same thing. For years with Telstra any kind of contact had been infuriatingly terrible for him, and he couldn't speak highly enough of the Aussie people walking him through everything and being patient
-
YehYeh (@Rusty_times) reported@markbouris Would of had a national broadband network years earlier if Telstra wasn’t sold off. The fire sale PM
-
peter rowe (@Prowerock1) reported@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
-
Tony (@tonyvibo) reported@Mr_Fanta_Pants @jagjetfly @Telstra You’re not the only one in the Southern Phone pulling the landline plug problem in rural areas boat either. Last hope, chat to your local Federal MP’s office and get them involved in a solution.

EmptyJr⭐️🔭🐝 (COMMS-Closed) (@Empty_jr) reportedAnd I am on Telstra but they're price gouging and they Suck and I did attempt after their last price hike to leave but it's like. Oh if you are in a regional area literally noone else can help you. I see. Think there's a word for that that rhymes with schmonopoly
-
Whimsy Wolfie (@wolfie_games17) reported@AllieHollyS I’m with Aldi! $29 a month, data rolls over & uses the Telstra network
-
M (@imboudee) reported@Justme136160 @robb_j_m To be fair, David is not wrong. Telcos will use the NBN infrastructure as they see fit. It’s cheaper to pay to use the NBN infrastructure that is already there than to lay down their own fibre. In fact, telcos like Optus and Telstra are already NBN providers.
-
David (@dwilliamson931) reported@fakemetrotrains Much more competent then anything Metro can provide. It almost outdoes Telstra for being so customer unfocused
-
GailT (@GBTSocScientist) reported@AlanBixter @Dehler45 @Telstra My internet SO SLOW 2day!
-
❤Hellie❤ (@Hellie1982) reportedNow the only thing left to do is the dumb stupid telstra ad walk around my house. WE ARE SO BACK!!
-
Lemming. (@Lt_Lemming) reportedHey @Telstra it's ever so slightly stupid that when in the chat in your own app I try to enter the IMEI of my device as asked for by your consultant... that the app blocks me from sending it to them. I get that you're trying to protect my information... but this is just stupid!
-
LunacySoft (@LunacySoft) reported@loftwah Belong is quite good as well and Telstra network
-
Sven (@Sydneyberlin) reported@robb_j_m It is outrageously slow and expensive, and I’m not talking about Telstra and the likes only. But most Aussies will defend it regardless these days because they don’t know any better. And here you have it: This is why we/they re-elected such a government!
-
Paulo (@PauloHalo) reported@RM_19844 @RobertG7958 The Telstra shares conflict of interest crook, the useless stupid and prune faced old hag health minister and the brainless twit resigning
-
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
-
Gerald Dabbles (@dabblebutz) reported@Telstra @Optus @optus_help can we please get support for RCS messaging on iPhones?!?!? The rest of the world supports it and Australians are missing out! 😭
-
LinksClone (@linksclone) reported@Empty_jr Its like they're trying to make telstra look better than them what a stupid *** ad.

HonkyTonkyHawks (@HonkyTonkyHawks) reported@mjonc43 @tommorris32 Telstra and champion data don’t control the cameras at the ground you ******* idiot.
-
mary blackman (@39loulou) reported@blowingtom2 @JohnAndersonAC Name calling, so early in the discussion. Do you remember how Howard sold off our Gold in the dip? D’ya know how much that would be worth in today’s $$. Did you know they also sold off Comm Bank & Telstra to cover baby bonus cheques and utes? Research Howard worst PM ever#auspol

Unique Images Australia (@UniqueImagesAus) reported@BassonBrain @Jessdistrict11 @SpaceX I live 10km from the ocean, between two major cities. No phone signal in many many locations on our major highways. Cannot send a text while talking on the phone. I have two Telstra numbers, highest cost plan. Without Starlink mini mounted in everyone of our commercial cars, no comms. Australia has no world class highway connecting cities. Has no coastal phone network or fast internet. It’s 2026 and I though I would be in a flying car, reality is I cannot make a call and text simultaneously.
