  @bek_lenin @MmeMaigret1 @ashman_the Keating/Hawke began the sell off. Commonwealth Bank, Telstra etc. Costello/Howard continued with it. Just as bad as each other. Rudd with his ‘stimulus cheques’ got us into debt which has spiralled to today’s numbers.

  🇦🇺Australia: @Starlink To Benefit From Telstra’s Dodgy Size Claims Industry data indicates strong growth in Starlink uptake, with retailers reporting a surge in demand and the service’s customer base in Australia doubling in 2025. One in five rural households that switched providers last year chose Starlink, according to market estimates. The shift reflects growing frustration among regional consumers, some of whom say Starlink offers more reliable performance at a lower cost than traditional telco plans. Telstra will be forced to cut back its advertised network coverage by around 1 million square km's following a regulatory crackdown on what the federal government has described as a “mess” of inconsistent and potentially misleading industry claims. Under new rules announced by Communications Minister Anika Wells, telcos must adopt stricter standards for how mobile coverage is measured and marketed—changes that directly impact Telstra, long known for promoting the scale of its network. The revisions will require the removal of an area roughly the size of New South Wales from Telstra’s coverage maps, raising questions about how accurately Australians have been informed about service availability, particularly in regional and remote areas. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) will introduce a new four-tier system—Good, Moderate, Basic and No Coverage—based on whether a standard mobile phone can deliver a usable service, rather than simply detecting a signal.

  @Telstra ...Interesting business model that you have! Tried to change service for speed at a lower cost (online offers) only to be told that this is ONLY available to new customers. No solution offered, leaving me to seek another provider!!

  @TheNoisyTrunk @SenatorSeanBell This numpty claimed that the DV policy at Telstra was "anti male".... in a Senae Hearing. A policy to protect women from violent men using a carriage service to abuse and intimidate !

  What else has been privatised for far greater cost and far lower service outcomes? The CES first and foremost, use of consultants instead of Public Service, Telstra, Australia Post, Aged Care, Hospitals, all of them where public service should be just that.

  @VGreg82063 @Telstra ****, if we're including the wheatbelt, I have no phone reception 3km from Kulin. But I thought scarborough would be a easy fix so I can watch netflix the next time I'm in the city.
