  @corduroy @Optus Last year Telstra was the same man. They just have no clue about customer service.

  @Telstra I eventually spent yet more time trying to resolve this earlier today. If the matter is not resolved as had been proposed by Telstra customer service person 8 days ago, I will indeed lodge a complaint. This has been going on for 3 months & I'm tired of reinventing the wheel.

  Shockingly bad service from @Telstra - no phone or internet service for a week now. Keep calling to be told either the case has been closed (without resolution) or it’s being worked on and to expect an update within 24 hours. Utterly hopeless!

  Cheers, I certainly am interested in this. Definitely not normal to see Tesla software updates (multiple GBs) pushed over the cellular network. Am sure there must be some arrangement between Tesla and Telstra to minimise this, particularly with the volume of cars in the country now.

  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.

  @Mr_Fanta_Pants I’ll wait for my kogan sim to run out and switch to a provider with the Telstra network

  @Telstra Hi Ivan, people are not always home, hence why we ALL have mobile phones. Check Telstra history re Laverton. We do have an ongoing problem that gets patched numerous time per year. I do not get town slowness if I`m at/near a mine-site which has better internet speeds.

  @TruthFairy131 @Qantas are using the smoke screen of AI adoption to make offshoring Australian jobs to India more palatable while trying to portray itself as an Australian company. This **** seems to accelerate whenever there is an incompetent female CEO at the helm, just look at @Telstra

  @blu_boys @Optus Boost is by bar the cheapest as you get the full Telstra network. Belong gives you the majority and that serves my girl right as the only considerations would be travelling to remote areas.
