Keithea Schaedler, Port Douglas Qld real estate (@portdouglas) reported from Port Douglas, Queensland@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.

Matt Gillard (@mattgillard) reported from Port Douglas, Queensland@corduroy @Optus Last year Telstra was the same man. They just have no clue about customer service.

Ben Lord (@benlorduk) reported from Port Douglas, QueenslandShockingly 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!

Dave Jones (@eevblog) reported@asphotos Science isn't going to help when the system is clogged because the NBN is down and many thousands of people are trying to find workarounds. Telstra in the park has collapsed, and Optus is struggling.

fatt Guy (@GuyFatt54504) reported@deepwebslinger Based on a search of current news and reports as of April 2026, there is no evidence to support the claim that "tel" (a common abbreviation for Telstra or similar entities) has pink-slipped over 20,000 workers The statement appears to be fabricated or based on misinformation

Ignatius Tse (@Ignatius_Tse) reported@Telstra is there a reason why mobile data is so bad in Ashfield? It’s bad inside the mall but today it was unusable outside on the street as well even though the phone indicated 2 bar of reception.

Steph McG (@oohaah_67) reported@Telstra now it’s a joke hey! Hamlyn Terrace and surrounding areas without 5G for the last couple of days. If you can’t fix or find the fault how about deploying mobile towers. Not everyone has NBN connectivity.

Muskonomy (@muskonomy) reportedNEWS: Telstra and TPG push Australian government for competitive spectrum auctions despite SpaceX warning Australian mobile carriers Telstra and TPG Telecom have urged the government to go ahead with open, competitive auctions for spectrum licences used for mobile and satellite mobile services, even after SpaceX warned it would withhold Starlink satellite mobile service in Australia if it isn’t given priority access to key wireless spectrum. SpaceX has made it clear that its satellite-to-mobile network (Starlink Direct to Cell) needs guaranteed access to Australia’s wireless airwaves to launch its full services — including voice and data for phones directly from satellites. But Telstra and TPG argue that giving one provider priority access risks limiting competition and could lock in high prices for consumers. A TPG spokesperson said competitive auctions are important because market concentration is a real risk if policy settings favour a single operator. They stressed Australia should encourage multiple satellite providers and business models, not entrench dominance by any one company, whether traditional mobile or satellite-based. Telstra and TPG’s stance comes amid broader debate about how Australia will manage spectrum — a critical resource that carries all mobile voice, text and data traffic. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has been consulting on future spectrum licences and how to allocate them fairly as older licences expire and new services are developed. Telstra itself has been active in satellite-mobile tech, testing and rolling out basic satellite messaging in Australia using SpaceX’s Direct to Cell system, but carriers say full commercial services must not be tied to exclusive spectrum access for one provider.

Will G (@willgotsis) reported@Gatty54 Same thing happened to us few years ago. Telstra, JB Hi-Fi, lucky it was all at like 3am and our bank put a hold on our card (debit card). We found out it was a girl in reception at a hotel we paid for. We confirmed details with her of card over phone. Never again. Ours was $9K.
