  @pelli_69 @Optus @Telstra I was with them for years, then went straight to Aussie Broadband! One of the many benefits is that it has Aussie call centres & tech support.

  @Telstra So my internet has an issue. You send me a message to go to MyTelstra to chat with a rep. My modem is in back up mode and wont load MyTelstra, so I try hotspotting off my Telstra phone. But your coverage is so sporadic that it won't even count as "connected."

  @RizviAbul Well given Telstra and CBA both have an extraordinary number of retail shareholders either , individuals, trusts or superannuation funds numbering in the hundreds of thousands if not millions , many Australians would be aware of the CGT and franking credits but there was never any need for the vast majority to worry about a tax return given not having to declare dividends under a certain amount and the easy calcUlation with the CGT discount .... Now it’s a lot more complicated and non compliance will come with threats so please don’t be so dismissive when for some it is a big deal

  @TheChopperLady It’s ok. I’m already thinking of suing Telstra for ******* up my payments and putting me in this situation! So much for government assistance right? These corporations and governments are pathetically slow!

  @WhereMyOstrich @ausstockchick No need to respond in such a derogatory manner. Here is the list, I pulled this from Grok in app you can verify it easily. Recent major Australian companies announcing significant domestic layoffs and offshoring of corporate/white-collar roles — Woolworths, Officeworks, Telstra, and NAB — have timed these moves amid sharp rises in domestic employment costs. • Woolworths (early June 2026) is offshoring hundreds of head-office roles in IT, finance, and HR to India/Philippines as part of cost-cutting to stay competitive with Aldi and Amazon. • Officeworks (late May 2026) is shifting hundreds of support, customer service, and tech roles to Bengaluru and Manila, boosted by AI/automation. • Telstra (earlier 2026) cut hundreds of roles (up to 650 in rounds) with work moving offshore to India. • NAB has expanded offshore teams in India/Vietnam (adding 1,000+ roles) while managing Australian redundancies. This wave aligns closely with escalating domestic labour costs: The national minimum wage and award rates rose 3.5% from July 2025, superannuation guarantee hit 12%, and the Fair Work Commission announced further increases effective July 2026 (4.75% on awards, ~5.9–6% on the minimum wage to $26.44/hour). Combined with weak productivity growth, higher on-costs (payroll tax, workers’ comp, etc.), and strong wage pressures, this has widened the cost gap versus offshore locations where skilled roles can be 30–70% cheaper. Companies cite these factors — plus efficiency drives — as key reasons for prioritising offshoring while protecting or growing frontline retail/store jobs domestically. This reflects a broader 2025–2026 trend among Aussie firms responding to cost-arbitrage opportunities in a high-wage, lower-productivity environment.

  I spent nearly an hour on the phone to @VodafoneAU and while the consultant was really nice, I wasn’t asked to do anything that I hadn’t already thought about and done myself in relation to the network outage . I had another brief outage about 90 minutes ago, and the interesting thing from this phone conversation with Vodafone was that this outage today affected every network, which is absolutely and categorically untrue . Did the consultant really think I couldn’t find who was affected or knew about MVNOs? This type of stuff might work on lay people, but it doesn’t work on me. If you’re not being ruthlessly gouged by @telstra, you’re being told BS from TPG’s Vodafone Australia. I do not expect 100% fault-free internet or Voice services, that’s just ridiculous. But I do expect timely information on outages, no evasions, and finally a proper explanation as to what went wrong because the idea of a power fault in this day and age of priority communications seems laughable. @acmadotgov

  @KymRob25112 No idea in Qld. But in Sydney Telstra has sadly become the only option. The complete mess up with triple zero calls ( carrier errors) no mistake in that. The tower's aren't coping with this change. Regional with fewer options. That's harsh. Hope 🙏

  Australian Govs of all persuasions have sold the people out. First sold QLD State Gov Insurance, Keating the Commonwealth Bank , Howard Telstra, Beattie Water and we can keep going. Private industry is about profit and no service . We have that and pay exorbitant amounts for it
