  • Granville4879 💉💉💉 Granville in FNQ 😷 (@Granville4879) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    @toninicho I am now, seriously, thinking of changing my carrier after years of being with Optus Problem is Telstra cost me a first full money last time I was with them and I dropped Vodaphone over their poor customer service.

  • scibidoo Jamie (@scibidoo) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    @mig_loren @bencmorrison I have my iPhone and iPad on Telstra SIM with shared data.255gb shared. It's come down over the years but the convenience of an esim when travelling is pretty cool. Still expensive if you just use the Apple provider interface.

    @jriewolod @Telstra You can contact OPAN Older person’s advocacy Network for free advice and support to get justice and a full refund. The Australian Competition Consumer Commission ACCC can also assist with unfair contacts that over promise and under deliver on contractual agreements. 1800 700 600

    Worst NBN plans and providers revealed in new report Biggest scam going way to much for any internet way over budget way over cost.And to have Telstra run makes even a bigger con job .. Good one Rudd you fool ..How much Rudd

  • Granville4879 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿Granville (don't call me Bot)🚢🇦🇺 (@Granville4879) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    @abcnews So my experience using IIG was a dream, just dealing with Telstra in the lead up was a horror and why I am no longer their customer.

  • tysonmjmunro 💧🔥🌱Tyson Munro (@tysonmjmunro) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    @Telstra may I just say how frustrating it is to accomplish simple tasks via your silly chat system in the app, a simple messagebank change should not take 2 months of waiting days for a reply, then when I reply being kicked back to the bot! Fix it or answer calls! #TelstrFail

  • iES_2021 Stephen Boorer (@iES_2021) reported

    @DocB__ @iiNet @Aussie_BB We use Aussie BB, they have provided excellent support on Macleay Island. We dropped Telstra after decades of substandard service.

  • obamalover_70 Finn (@obamalover_70) reported

    Really wish @Telstra would stop telling us to try things on our end to fix our internet when we have everything set up correctly and this is very clearly a problem with either their service or their infrastructure

  • Rodw33381986 Rodw (@Rodw33381986) reported

    @cookerwatch @FannyFitch Depends what 5g network he's on, I'm guessing Telstra, with Vodafone the coverage is shite and signal weak and you'd feel fine by now.🤔

  • Yankoz3 Yankoz (@Yankoz3) reported

    @NototyrannyNOW @Telstra Did they give you the covid BS excuses...short-staffed...challenging circumstances? Seems to be the mantra of all companies' customer service.

  • GrahamKing16 Graham King (@GrahamKing16) reported

    @WMFB69 @MikeCarlton01 @JasonClareMP Labor wanted fibre to the home, Telstra lobbied furiously too save the copper network to save Foxtel and we ended up with a system most third world countries would reject

  • Jack41897444 Jack (@Jack41897444) reported

    @NototyrannyNOW @Telstra Telephone companies service in Australia an absolute joke!

    @iiNet @iinet more BS from the worst ISP service I have ever ever experienced and I’ve been with Telstra! Hard to beat but they’ve managed to own that. Another own goal here
