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.

Steph McG (@oohaah_67) reported@Telstra now it’s a joke hey! Hamlyn Terrace and surrounding areas without 5G for the last couple of days. If you can’t fix or find the fault how about deploying mobile towers. Not everyone has NBN connectivity.

💧Jac 🗝🇵🇸 (@Jaccal68) reported@westonnights You ain’t seen nothin yet Current Business Context (2025–2026) Telstra is currently executing its "Connected Future 30" strategy, which emphasizes building a self-optimising "Autonomous Network". The company frequently uses AICC forums to stay connected with Israeli high-tech developments that can support these infrastructure goals.” AICC being the Australia-Israel Chamber of Commerce

Dale Pilling (Him, He, good bloke mate) ⚓️💜⚓️💜 (@Freo_Dale) reported@TravGee1980 @Telstra I’ve gone Woolworths, uses the Telstra network, got 6 months for $130.
-
Drew Campbell (@Bundellafella) reported@Telstra No it’s not sorted. The mobile tower ran out of battery during a power outage last night. Power is restored but the mobile coverage is still down.

-
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.

Dale Pilling (Him, He, good bloke mate) ⚓️💜⚓️💜 (@Freo_Dale) reported@mrthill80 @Telstra Went with Woolworths, Telstra network and half the price.

SèánoSerious (@MovedOnNotice) reported@kayosports The telstra and Qantas of the streaming world. Can't wait to figure out a way to never give you a cent again
-
LifeWithBeard™ (@ayyyitspete) reported@mikjcal @kpmuddle @Mr_Fanta_Pants Voda did a network sharing deal with Optus so they get all of Optus' rural coverage & Optus gets access to Voda's towers & fibre in areas Optus don't have a presence to install their radio gear and build out their network. Optus does very well vs Telstra in regional these days.

Drew Campbell (@Bundellafella) reported@Telstra @Telstra keeps telling us that service is restored but no-one in the district on Telstra has service.

fatryy (@fatryy218020) reported@telstra is sending someone to my house to fix my net. hopefully these shitcunts can fix it instead of staring at it dumbfucks
-
Salt N pepper 🌶️ (@Partytime63) reported@MarkAClarkson @Telstra I left Telstra years ago and not going back unless they are the only one left in the market. Telstra is the most expensive service provider in the world. They are also not honest about the blackspot in many parts of remote areas.

Bryn Davies an OA dad (@tofar1) reported@CathyGobbart @Telstra We had great coverage at the Perth athletic track and has we hit hale Rd the signal went. It was that bad Daniel could'nt order us uber eats online

Brian Basson (@BassonBrain) reported🇦🇺Australia: @Starlink To Benefit From Telstra’s Dodgy Size Claims Industry data indicates strong growth in Starlink uptake, with retailers reporting a surge in demand and the service’s customer base in Australia doubling in 2025. One in five rural households that switched providers last year chose Starlink, according to market estimates. The shift reflects growing frustration among regional consumers, some of whom say Starlink offers more reliable performance at a lower cost than traditional telco plans. Telstra will be forced to cut back its advertised network coverage by around 1 million square km's following a regulatory crackdown on what the federal government has described as a “mess” of inconsistent and potentially misleading industry claims. Under new rules announced by Communications Minister Anika Wells, telcos must adopt stricter standards for how mobile coverage is measured and marketed—changes that directly impact Telstra, long known for promoting the scale of its network. The revisions will require the removal of an area roughly the size of New South Wales from Telstra’s coverage maps, raising questions about how accurately Australians have been informed about service availability, particularly in regional and remote areas. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) will introduce a new four-tier system—Good, Moderate, Basic and No Coverage—based on whether a standard mobile phone can deliver a usable service, rather than simply detecting a signal.

DBMG 🇦🇺 (@dbmgreen) reported@james00000001 NBN 50000km of new copper wire $.7bil Now Telstra/NBN have to retrofit secure pits to stop people stealing the copper. Not a problem with all fibre. The LNP completely screwed AUS all the while paying their mates millions to manage it. #industrialisedcorruption

BeamRider100 (@BeamRider100) reported@jasuperfund @mark16pg We know, they sold us down the river too. Howard with the mass immigration, selling Telstra and everything. Then Turncoat with all the metadata laws, now morphing into full surveillance and ID scans etc. Morrison with the covid scam.

-
EVStraya (@EVStraya) reported@electricfuture5 @Telstra Lack of data in shopping centres consistently was the main reason for me moving. Was going on for 6+ months. Went into the Telstra shop and they were all on wifi. With Optus now, obviously have their own history but I have had far less issues with them.

Bryn Davies an OA dad (@tofar1) reported@VGreg82063 @Telstra ****, if we're including the wheatbelt, I have no phone reception 3km from Kulin. But I thought scarborough would be a easy fix so I can watch netflix the next time I'm in the city.

Statistics World (@SachinGadagin) reportedTelstra and EE feel very consistent in service quality, while Singtel and NTT Docomo stand out more for their technology and innovation approach.
