@Telstra You really need to fix your Telstra stores. I do not expect to go into one to have to put my name down on a list and wait sometimes up to 3 hours to be served. 🤬🤬 I’d call your call centre…… but I cannot understand the people I’m talking to Keep jobs in Australia!

@Telstra I get that the network and the usage is different in big cities and in the country but nowdays all business need a mobile, and unfortunately some people expect 24x7 availability. No network, no business, no $$$. 😑

Hi @Telstra! I use my iPhone as a remote for my #TelstraTV. However, I did an update last night and now my iPhone can’t find my #TelstraTV on my network. Any advice? Thanks

@Telstra Plus raising a concern like that is heaps of time which I have lack of atm. I'm just back from Europe where the network works even in the metro, here in #Townsville it disconnects in the elevator or undercover carpark too.

@ReganAM2210 @Optus @Telstra If you don’t have much luck get in contact with Aussie Broadband and connect with them. They don’t **** around like the big guys do and they’re direct and up front.

@BazzaCC @Telstra Your problem could be with the NBN..but they co-ordinate well with Telstra. It cold be the roots from trees. Unit 4 was down for 3 weeks. Unit 1 had trouble. The contractors laid down a new conduit for the optical fibre. A big job.

@QuentinDempster Problem is Quentin many of us Don’t have NBN towers. My choice is a Telstra WIFI - massive delay buffeting in peak times Optus WIFI same problem. After extended time with internet Zi ordered a Starlink last week. Our service is no where near as good as 15 years ago.

@craigkellyAFEE If the starlink service can bypass the su givt firewall, then I will definitely ditch the local nbn. I hope all consumers will consider similar move too unless optus and telstra fight against this

@Ellen28900 @Telstra I’m going to call the TIO tomorrow. I’ve already had two phone calls and stupid texts from them cancelling NBN tech and refusing to send a Telstra tech unless I give them another bag of gold. I live inner suburbs Melbourne ffs

2 growth opportunities for $TLS. 5G fixed wireless is increasingly being positioned as a substitute for home NBN connections. Telstra’s intercity fibre network - linking data centres across Australia - presents a source of additional upside not yet reflected in earnings forecasts

@BazzaCC @Telstra Are you on copper, or @NBN_Australia ? If it's the latter, then the service providers have their hands tied, because NBN own and maintain the network now. If fault is on nbn network, then nbn is party responsible for repair. Service providers are not allowed to repair now.

@Starlink Starlink helped us out enormously, we had no fast internet, Telstra in Australia wouldn't help, we are in a regional town where residents get the NBN but commercial district don't. We connect over 20 devices and 60 staff, can't do that without Starlink.

Nope. Grok told me so. And in the worst case scenario traffic can be redirected from satellite to satellite to a ground based receiver outside of Australia. Does Starlink’s Traffic Use the NBN? Starlink, operated by SpaceX, provides satellite-based internet via a constellation of low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, delivering connectivity directly to user terminals (e.g., dishes) without relying on terrestrial broadband networks like the NBN for the core data transmission. Here’s the analysis: Technical Independence: Starlink’s service bypasses traditional ground-based infrastructure for the bulk of its data delivery. It uses its own network of satellites and ground stations (e.g., the Boorowa, NSW station) to connect users, meaning its traffic doesn’t route through NBN’s fiber, copper, or satellite (Sky Muster) networks. This is a key selling point—rural Australians like Grant Vowles in Tasmania switched from NBN to Starlink for speeds up to 200 Mbps, far exceeding Sky Muster’s 25-100 Mbps, precisely because it operates independently. Integration with Local Providers: However, partnerships like Telstra’s resale of Starlink services introduce nuances. Telstra Satellite Internet, powered by Starlink, includes a Smart Modem with a Wi-Fi home phone line, suggesting some integration with local networks for ancillary services (e.g., voice over Wi-Fi). Yet, the primary internet traffic—data downloads and uploads—still relies on Starlink’s satellite link, not NBN infrastructure. The requirement for a Starlink Ethernet Adaptor to connect to Telstra’s modem further indicates a separate data path, not a handover to NBN. Critical View: The establishment narrative often frames Starlink as a direct competitor “bleeding” NBN customers (e.g., 200,000 users by 2025), implying a clean break. But the lack of transparency about backhaul (e.g., how ground stations connect to global internet) leaves room for doubt—some data might indirectly touch NBN or other Australian networks at peering points. Still, no evidence suggests Starlink’s core traffic depends on NBN, making the answer largely no.
