  @Telstra please confirm here the only way one can pay is beforehand & not bpay after a statement. Your staff use Netflix as a comparison but a phone & data service is completely unlike an entertainment subscription. It’s a false equivalent that is designed to deceive. #cxfail

  as I wasn't physically able to leave my apartment. The only time I've had worse service is with Telstra. Tell one of your customer service team to look up my number and call me today! And why should I have to wait 48 hours for a refund for something that was your mistake???!!!

  @Maddy_Pappas_ @startrack Dispatched by Telstra yesterday. Stuffed up today. Disappointing is a silly thing to be, first world problems & all. But they can even tell me when I will get it now.

  @GhostofBen22 @wheelyweb @Telstra Had to move to Vodafone because Telstra had so many issues in the places I needed to use my phone.

  If you ever have a bad day just remember I read Telstra as Toyota today and wondered why I was being called about a fault with a car.

  @Bobi_magee2 Lucky you, talking. Took me hours and hours on "chat", by text, with Telstra, as I enter Day 13 of resolving hardware issue.

  I overpaid one bill and @Telstra posted me a cheque. I’ve been a customer nearly a decade and they Posted A cheque. A. Cheque. FFS

  Ugh the Telstra business support line told me I need to go to a Business Centre, the guy at the centre didn’t seem to understand my problem, I’ve gotten nowhere in 3 days and I’m frustrated 🙃

  @bobbylosbravos @bcurrall80 I get 50GB for $45/month on Telstra thru a pre-paid plan I bought from JB Hi-Fi. They were the only Telstra reseller I could find and I refuse to go to Optus or Vodafone due to terrible experiences in the past.

  Good job @Telstra At milsons point and no signal. Great network you guys have these days.

• 
  John Lutge (@JohnLutge) reported 35 minutes ago from Sydney, New South Wales

  The @NBN tech came. The carrier signal strength is - 15dB. Max is - 10dB. So it's too weak to work. But it's raining, and their test equipment isn't waterproof. So they couldn't check the connection box at the side of the house. So, day off work for zip. @Telstra

  @Telstra Lol that was a late post.... was resolved already!! But Cecil Hills really has bad signal with Telstra so please fix that....

  Joe Ortenzi 🇨🇦 🇮🇹 🇦🇺 (@wheelyweb) reported 35 minutes ago from Sydney, New South Wales

  My main question, @telstra, is, when the F are you going to at least pretend to have a customer service?

• 
  janet albrechtsen (@jkalbrechtsen) reported 45 minutes ago from Sydney, New South Wales

  Of all the companies I deal with @Telstra is by far far the worst. I was told I couldn’t query an unauthorised bill amount. Couldn’t speak with someone more senior. In other words F.. O….

  @Telstra Only yesterday I had extensive dealings with an overseas call centre! Five business days to fix a simple problem that should have been sorted nearly a year ago is why Telstra has such a bad reputation for customer service.

  Another night stolen from me as I try to have @Telstra deal with a problem it created.

  Hey Telstra, what’s going on with the NBN services in Sydney Inner west? It’s been down for quite some time?? @Telstra #NBN

  Ordered a major xmas gift on **11 Oct** with @Telstra. Still dont have it. Have been lied to re delivery date every week for a month now. Help operators are useless. No answer to basic qs. Thought I’d use some reward pts since they were just sitting there. Never again.

  @Telstra I know I’m writing in Twitter. I’m not a moron. But I’m reporting a problem in the Telstra app to you via Twitter. What’s your point? Are you trying to be obtuse?

  @w0tn0t2201 @Telstra I’m the same as you. I’ve never used Telstra and I wouldn’t even use them if they were given away free carrier pigeons.

  daisymay4263 🌼🌼🌼 (@daisymay4263) reported 5 minutes ago

  Seems perfectly legit, reward people for failures …. 🙄 Telstra has paid its chief executive, Vicki Brady, $6.8m for the year ending in June, after docking 20% of her bonus in response to the network’s nationwide outage in July. The company reported financial results on Thursday. Its board met on Monday and decided to cut Brady’s bonus by $607,000 – but she still took home a $700,000 pay rise as she was awarded a total of $6.1m the year before.

  Telstra notified local residents on the 18th that there will be a six day disruption to service from the 17th! Good one @Telstra No 4G or internet during the day for six days. SOS only.

• 
  bitterboy (@twistedandbitte) reported 6 minutes ago

  @Telstra Will now take this up with the Ombudsman, asking them to note it is resolved in favour of the customer and the delay in responding is your deliberate attempt to delay compensation. Stick that where it fits, or where the sun don’t shine.

  @grok @RositaDaz48 Telstra lmfao!! Charter Hall? lol Langdon capital? Are these people able to understand public service and the true value of work? I doubt it.

  Hey @Telstra has your mobile network crapped itself again unable to use data anywhere in Geelong at the moment got more for pieces of equipment reporting data failure Starlink not a working time can’t even call you

  @7NewsSydney Great now she'll offshore even more Telstra workers under the guise of AI adoption so she can recoup some money for herself. Worst Telstra CEO ever..

• 
  Humanitarianella (@BecauseImElle) reported 29 minutes ago

  Go digital they said. What that has got us? MyGov, Telstra, Optus hacked. Stolen identities, etc. This isn't even 1% the problem. Why keep pushing something that causes many problems & stress to everyday ppl? Tracing private citizens every move is the objective.

  John Maunder (@john_lyndondale) reported 31 minutes ago

  @MrRexPatrick Am amazed you have internet access, must be Starlink?? One of my gripes travelling out there is when there is a Telstra signal, but being on their network with another provider and it does not work.

  What's happening in my beautiful land down under? 1/10 CBA just dropped a record $10.98B profit, but mortgage demand is down 17%. Telstra is buying back $1B of its own stock while cutting 1,200 jobs. And the global AI compute backlog just blew past $104 billion. Here is what actually moved markets this week 🧵👇 2/10 First, the big picture: US inflation cooled to 3.4%, sending the S&P 500 to another record close above 7,798. Back home, the RBA held the cash rate steady at 4.35% for the fourth meeting in a row. Markets got the inflation numbers they wanted. Local reporting season, however, told a much more complicated story. 3/10 Commonwealth Bank delivered a massive $10.98 billion cash profit, with a full-year dividend of $5.05 per share. On paper, it looks like business as usual for Australia’s biggest lender. Under the hood, the pipeline tells a very different story. 4/10 CBA CEO Matt Comyn revealed mortgage applications dropped roughly 17% following the May federal budget tax changes on property investors. Investor lending took the hardest hit. As a result, CBA quietly trimmed its FY27 mortgage credit growth guidance down to 4-5%. The headline profit belongs to the past year. The slowdown belongs to the next one. 5/10 Telstra delivered $2.41B in net profit, lifted its dividend by 10.5%, and announced a fresh $1B share buyback. Yet its shares dropped around 4 to 5%. Why? Top-line revenue growth was soft. The strong bottom line relied heavily on cost-cutting, including 1,200 job cuts across the year. Investors want real growth, not just financial engineering. 6/10 The global AI compute crunch is getting wilder. Neocloud provider Nebius saw Q2 revenue rocket 454% to $582M, flipping from a loss to $236M in adjusted EBITDA. CoreWeave doubled its revenue to $2.6B and raised full-year guidance to over $12.4B. Its near-term GPU capacity is completely sold out with an eye-watering $104B backlog. 7/10 On the ASX, money quietly rotated out of miners and into healthcare heavyweights. CSL, Pro Medicus, ResMed, and Cochlear all caught a bid in a single session. With commodity prices wobbling, fund managers are ditching cyclical resources and hunting for steady, reliable earnings. 8/10 Rubbish turned into gold this week. Cleanaway Waste Management surged 15% after global private equity giant EQT dropped a $9.4 billion takeover bid at $3.13 a share. That is a 32% premium. Cleanaway’s board opened the books for a nine-week due diligence period and plans to recommend the deal if it locks in. 9/10 The takeaway: Bank profits are riding high on yesterday’s loans, but higher rates and tax changes are biting the lending pipeline. Meanwhile, Big Tech and infrastructure players are pouring billions into compute capacity that is already sold out years in advance. The divide between traditional lending and the compute economy is widening fast.
