    @FinancialReview This is classic regulatory free riding. Why would anyone pay Telstra prices or why would Telstra keep investing billions in regional coverage if customers can buy the cheapest network then use Telstra whenever theirs fails? Emergency roaming makes sense. Forcing the company that built the better network to subsidise competitors who didn’t is how you eventually end up with nobody investing in the better network.

    @blu_boys @Optus Boost is by bar the cheapest as you get the full Telstra network. Belong gives you the majority and that serves my girl right as the only considerations would be travelling to remote areas.

    Hello @Telstra , why are we yet again experiencing very slow internet on our mobile phones in Laverton Western Australia? Do a proper upgrade to counter the 500+ FIFO`s in town every day. Also as soon as schools out the speed reduces exponentially.

    @TopherField However, starlink is still ground linked through Telstra. Switch off Telstra & starlink goes down too.

    @ChinaSelect Australia has had two major telecommunications network failures. As a result of the Telstra failure, three people died, including a baby. One person died as a result of the Optus failure. No infrastructure should have any exposure to foreign adversaries.

    @AuspiciousTimes @blu_boys @Optus Aldi uses “parts of the Telstra network “ if you read the fine details. Only Boost gives you access to the full Telstra network.

    @roberts_pa97578 I’d never use @telstra - the experiences I had with them as a network consultant for clients were atrocious - their NBN implementations/installations/services were pathetic

    @BrentHodgson @TISM_Root Telstra offered an alternative 5G network to replace the aging copper network that mirrors system used overseas, with much higher speeds and reliability and the government decided to build there own assets, using leased Telstra floorspace & Paid Telstra to upgrade its exchanges.

    @fictillius I do love the fact that Telstra phone booths are a free service now and essentially only exist as advertising billboards

    So Southern Phone has been taken over by “Energy Telco” Those of us on its Telstra based service told goodbye. Over 30 people in NSW have apparently lost their jobs. Contacted call centre to check my options, gave up because foreign accent at the other end was unintelligigible.

    Realistically, Trembath should finish 3rd in the Telstra Rising Star after Jagga and Dean, even just for consistency's sake. Wilma Durrsma's last 6 weeks has been utter garbage #AFLNorthCats

    @deborahbrian @aaronsmith @DHughesy Nor did the surpluses. Three-quarters of the $96 billion paid down under Howard (~$71.8bn) came from one-time public asset selloffs - including Telstra, Commonwealth Bank, DASFLEET, defence assets, Brisbane Airport, Melbourne Airport, Perth Airport, National Rail, Adelaide Airport, Darwin and Alice Springs Airports, Canberra Airport, Hobart Airport, the Australian Industry Development Corporation, Broadcast Australia (transmission towers)... A lot of those assets were sold at knock-down prices too - e.g. Broadcast Australia was sold at $650m, then the buyer sold it for twice that shortly after.

    Aussie @tarkov players using iPrimus or Telstra as an ISP may be experiencing high ping to the Sydney server. No ETA on a fix at this time.

    @Telstra not sure if Boost is still under your remit, but connectivity issues as punishment for not setting up auto-recharge is not a good look.

    @JohnOSullivan36 @MichaelWestBiz @MichaelPascoe01 I was hacked this week by a Telstra scam. Thankfully my Bank locked my Acs but I have used the entire week changing drivers licence, Medicare ,etc. 2 x200 k trips to Phone Dr for cleaning. I knew I should hang up but they had every base covered. It has knocked my confidence.

    if you’re considering a mobile/internet service provider, stay away from Telstra. their customer service is the worst i’ve experienced anywhere and the service itself is ****. Does anyone know how to get out of a plan without buying out? I’ve actually had enough.

    This happens because traitorous Australian companies sent jobs offshore to India. The Indians stole the customer databases and set up scamming operations on an industrial scale. Here are how many jobs these ******* companies off-shored. ANZ: 14,300 jobs Commonwealth Bank: 10,000+ NAB: 7,350+ Westpac: 2,000+ Telstra: 10,000+ Optus: 4,000+ Vodafone Group: 2,900+

    Telstra chief executive Vicki Brady took home $6.8 million last year – an 11 per cent increase, despite a fall in revenue at Australia’s largest telecommunications company in the year leading up to its disastrous nationwide outage last month. (AFR)
