  @Mr_Fanta_Pants @jagjetfly @Telstra You’re not the only one in the Southern Phone pulling the landline plug problem in rural areas boat either. Last hope, chat to your local Federal MP’s office and get them involved in a solution.

  @markbouris "no national debt .. yep zero" because he sold over $70 billion in public assets to pay down government debt, with major privatizations including Telstra (approx. 49% in 97-99), the remaining Commonwealth Bank shares, all major federal airports, and the National Rail Corporation.

  @Gatty54 Worst part was, we called Telstra the next day to say it was fraudulent as payment pending, long story they said we’ll stop it, no they didn’t, 3 days later payment cleared. Others were good and cancelled. In the end we got all our money back, but what a pain in the arse.

  @Trev__Says @susan_taylor07 @cjoye None of them would have been profit making assets. Telstra would have been a big slow behemoth that got pants’d by Optus and Vodafone. Our gas wouldn’t have been developed - it took 15 years from sale to production. And we would have been paying huge amounts of interest.

  Australians have a social contract with Australia Post and Telstra, to provide an equitable service across our whole country, regardless of how remotely and away from the eastern capitals people live and work. If the Minister can't ensure that, then resign!

  @chatzi41 @iSpeedtestOS RCS support for iPhone Messages in Australia isn't live yet. Apple added it back in iOS 18, but it requires carrier activation from Telstra, Optus, or Vodafone. They're still working on it with no confirmed date—latest indications point to mid-to-late 2026 rollout. Contact your carrier for the latest.

  @PollyPorridge Been ok lately. But sick of - pointless kayo ads for the kayo service - gambling being the primary advertiser - Telstra / Harvey Norman being the rest Kayo has excellent targeted to postcode ads for elections - but clearly there isn’t anyone new adverting

  Really unsure, but I’ve seen the same sort of buffoons rise to the top at Aust Post, Telstra, etc. The phrase “**** floats to the Top” is pretty common in Govt Industies. Good thing is, once they get there, their incompetence is exposed for all to see. Nowhere to hide.
