  Mr Dom (@iammrdom) reported 26 seconds ago from Adelaide, South Australia

  I’m stuck thinking about my mobile carrier, so I stay with an Optus MVNO or go to a Telstra ‘full service’ MVNO. It’s complicated. There’s $10 a month in it between the two companies.

  @EmMasters @Telstra Give Vodafone a call. They’ve look after me for 15 years. Awesome service.

  @Telstra I can’t view my Xbox Series X order in my account and I am wave 2 despite ordering within 6 minutes of launch. Can you please advise where I can track my order and if there is an issue with wave allocations?

  @Telstra Apparently you (Telstra) are having ‘technical issues’ and aren’t giving TPG any indication as to when the issue will be resolved or when I will be connected.. 2 and a half weeks without internet and counting. Dismal service

  Gotta love Telstra Wholesale techs. Reported to Telstra when we moved in that there's severe damage to the POTS relay near our house. They send someone to prop it up with a stake and some ziplock ties. It falls over again later, same dealio.

  We still don’t have internet or a solution for the internet and I am so so angry (I never get angry) and exhausted from trying to sort it and I will *never* use the companies (@Telstra @Internode ) involved again because they failed on all four of the above <end rant>.

  Hey @Foxtel @Telstra Can you please explain why there is no subtitle option on your new streaming service #Binge - pretty disgraceful if this is the case!

  If I am Vodafone , I will developer a software name it 6g, ask Telstra together, all the cbd having free wifi, just need more free wifi signal, and then charge some money , input some speed, that ‘s it. Saving your money , making big income.

  @gomichild Problem is Auspost is like Telstra these days. Difficult to tell which ones are employees or contractor couriers! They can sack a female CEO 1 year over a watch & next year pay male execs $1000's in bonuses. I mean WTAF???

  oh i member (@elwasofran) reported 37 minutes ago from Adelaide, South Australia

  @JoelDTD They **** you if you need a phone but now you’ve got Belong who cover a fair bit of regional Australia (they use the Telstra towers). Roll over data and cheap plans ($15, $25, $40)

  @eooi @Telstra @Internode It would help if you could actually talk to a human ... service centre can’t even do a thing ... could be time to change after 25 + years of loyalty not worth salt #telstra

  @PatGerace @Telstra Why has customer service in Australia fallen to new depths of inadequacy? I had a similar issue with @foxtel

  @Telstra Call forwarding has dropped out and currently unable to take bookings/ orders at business extremely frustrated and terrible phone customer service

  Ingo Koeper (@ikoeper) reported 40 minutes ago from Adelaide, South Australia

  So the home internet isn’t working, and @Telstra doesn’t seem to have a service phone number, directs me to a chat in their app, where nobody answers. Imagine I would have to give a life lecture now....

  Geoff Thomas (@AxantCorp) reported 51 minutes ago from Adelaide, South Australia

  @Telstra Hi. There tended to be coverage where you state it is exists. The issue is that in the fringe areas it’s inadequate for web browsing or high reliability of calls. It’s a major tourism destination- you should be able to access booking apps etc wherever

  Christian Verdicchio (@c_verdicchio) reported 54 minutes ago from Adelaide, South Australia

  @Optus so just called and got to a operator who transfers me and the line gets cut. Good work for a communications company. This poor service is too common with Optus and I’m really looking at taking the family and business back to @VodafoneGroup or @Telstra.

  Hey @woolworths and @Telstra 1/ Can you tell me why when I purchase a Woolworths Mobile Sim card which uses the Telstra network I have to pay to have my phone unlocked by Telstra to use their network? And why does it takes 8-10 days to perform a task that's 2 clicks of a mouse?

  @PeterD84508 @DHughesy You idiot. Both sides of parliament agreed to sell. It was costing Australians hundreds of millions as a public service model. If Telstra was government owned now we’d be further down a hole.

  Howard (@howardw46) reported 7 minutes ago

  @Telstra why is there very limited connection on the VLine service between Bairnsdale & Latrobe Valley? For most of the trip the train line is adjacent to the highway where connection is available.

  Twelve live Australian job ads integrate AI in the title with enablement, transformation, automation, or change. Only ten companies have posted them. HESTA is hiring an “Enterprise AI Enablement Lead,” TAL an “AI and Automation Lead,”  IAG an “AI and Automation Principal.” Aware Super wants an “AI Strategy Change Lead”. CBA’s is a financial crime compliance role, and Insignia Financial’s is in risk. Four engineering roles at Canva, Xero, and Telstra. Which leaves two, and both are at EY. One is an “Associate Partner - Solutions Architect - AI Transformation,” sold through its Microsoft alliance. The other is a “Transformation and AI Marketing Leader” on a 12-month parental leave cover to take EY’s AI transformation offering to market. It’s the only live Australian marketing role in the twelve, and the AI capability it asks for- advanced use of Copilot, ChatGPT, and Perplexity- is in the optional skills. I built a workforce intelligence platform, and I’m analysing how AI is being written into new job roles. As of 27th August 2026, it holds 1,603 live Australian specs across 102 companies. Of 1,522 live marketing specs globally, 232 are AI-central, roles where AI is core or supporting the work as written. Of those, 179 (77.2%) carry no decision architecture. Nothing about who checks the model or who can override it, and no one is named accountable for what it produces. Across all functions, it’s 65.1%. Marketing is 12.1 points worse. Australian marketing is 101 live specs. Eight are AI-central, and seven of them have zero decision architecture. A CMO who hasn’t hired for this borrows it from an agency. Agencies post AI-central roles in 13.3% of 2,763 live specs. The banks and insurers they pitch to post them in 13.2% of 2,261. The seller and the buyer are hiring at the same rate. One Australian marketing team has written the role properly. NAB advertised a Head of Agentic Marketing in May, asking the hire to support the “redesign of marketing operating models and workflows using AI agents,” with humans kept in the loop and someone named accountable for what the agents produce. It scored 4 out of 4 in decision architecture, the only Australian marketing spec in 402 to do so. It hasn’t been live since 7th June 2026.

  Hey @telstra, it’s been 15hrs since I could make a call or get service outside of wifi hotspots. Any chance of any help whatsoever? Your app doesn’t work. Your online support keeps asking me what modem I’m using. I’m currently travelling and no service is not ok.

  The ASX is set to dip at the open, with index futures down 0.2%. It comes ahead of big earnings results this morning from Telstra, Origin, Transurban, ASX, and Insurance Australia Group. Overnight, US markets mostly lifted, with the S&P 500 up 0.3% and the Nasdaq adding 0.5%.

  Hi @Telstra. We’re on 15hrs+ now where I can’t make any calls or get any internet service. I know you don’t care about customer service but just wondering if I might be able to get access to the product I pay for?

  @DHughesy Aaron’s post is pure projection dressed up as wit. Dave Hughes—a comedian—got some Future Fund details wrong in a short clip (confusing it with debt, implying it was spent on GFC stimulus). Aaron then spent weeks delivering multi-thousand-word “corrections,” only to pivot, when Dave pointed out the Fund’s growth came almost entirely from Howard/Costello’s $60-64 billion seed (no further public contributions to the core fund after early Rudd), into the classic Labor-adjacent playbook: invent a payday conspiracy and declare victory. Facts Aaron keeps soft-pedalling: •The Future Fund was created by the Coalition with surplus cash and Telstra proceeds precisely to cover unfunded public-sector super liabilities that sit outside headline net debt. Its growth to ~$270-330 billion (including other managed vehicles) is investment returns, not ongoing Labor largesse. •Net debt added since 2007: Rudd/Gillard ~$190 bn, Coalition governments ~$366 bn (much of it pre-COVID), Albanese so far ~$75 bn. Absolute numbers do not support the “Labor alone ruined everything” narrative, but neither do they support Aaron’s selective framing that treats Coalition debt as somehow less real. •Australia’s GFC stimulus was borrowed, not raided from the Fund, and helped avoid recession—true—but that doesn’t erase the subsequent spending trajectory under both sides. Aaron boasts of criticising Labor on social-media bans, Comcars, Anika Wells, etc., yet his energy is overwhelmingly reserved for policing anyone who questions the post-2007 debt/spending record or the Albanese government’s performance. When those corrections land, the immediate response is “you must be paid by Labor/taxpayer.” That’s not analysis; it’s the standard deflection of someone whose default is to treat fiscal criticism of Labor as illegitimate. Kerry Packer’s line worked because Bond overpaid then collapsed. Here, the only collapse is the repeated refusal to concede that a comedian’s imperfect summary of economic history does not require a full-time unpaid opposition research unit. Knowing things is indeed useful. So is noticing when the fact-checker’s intensity and ad-hominem default look a lot more like advocacy than neutral accounting.

  @howardw46 @Telstra You can’t just be stopping all the time at every pissant station. The service stops enough at key stations and mostly stops at nearly all.
