  @IterIntellectus Telstra also: 2026 (Enterprise Restructuring): Telstra announced major workforce restructures, cutting hundreds of enterprise and IT roles in Australia. A significant portion of this work and technical support was offshored to the Indian-based ICT firm Infosys and its joint venture with Accenture.

  @Telstra Telstra Doncaster failed and refused to help, I'll be lodging a complaint with the ombudsman in due course, duly note the outcome, you lost two decades long people to Optus, who were terrific in help.

  @shoebil57672266 I see Albanese as the same as Telstra. Offering better deals for new customers only. **** the rest of the loyal long term members. N

  @karlstefanovic Sold off Telstra and government assets to their mates to square the debt. Big thugs these two. Cost of living crisis that Australians are facing is because of the regressive mess of the GST There was never a good crisis before the GST.

  @BusyTonn Somewhat true. Telecom never had a FTTP plan, but CBDs did have Telstra fibre in the 1990s (after Optus started).

  @ianclarkeAU If you have a business you need both, they never go down at the same time. This was the case with Optus and Telstra cable networks decades ago, if you had both and a firewall/router that handled either bridging or failover you were never off line. Mind you Telstra did get nasty in the early days because their billing system was lazy so you could send packets out on one service and pull down data on the other thus avoiding usage fees. 🤓

  @FranMooMoo Finally, I’ll get better reception in my house than the so called “5G” coverage Telstra offers. Something tells me though, that the government will do everything to thwart a Starlink phone network in Australia to protect Telstra.

  @ellymelly No. Back in 1997 John Howard made sure our telecoms network was to remain behind the rest of the world for the next decade at least. If he'd agreed to run FTTN with Telstra every Australian household today would have internet services on par with Singapore at the same price.

  @Telstra I'm an Aussie working in the US for a few years. I keep my Aussie mobile account paid for when I come home to visit. Can you please explain how mobile data charges are higher with you in Australia, compared to my US cell service on mobile roaming?
