  6.32 Mbps down and 15.3 Mbps up when I use a SIM card for a different telco in my Smart Modem. Telstra 4G backup SIM card is too slow. 0.16 Mbps. Dialup speeds. 😱

  @erinwatsonlynn @MrTimCallanan @Telstra Right?! Funnily enough, that info didn’t help explain why they disconnected the service or couldn’t reconnect it.

  Adam (@Adam_Goldman) reported 11 minutes ago from Melbourne, Victoria

  @Zelda_Doyle @Telstra I’m with @Optus it’s much the same. They actually blocked me when I raised an issue here.

  Hey @Telstra is there an issue with crossed lines or something on the 4g network?

  vito m (@vitomattvm) reported 18 minutes ago from Melbourne, Victoria

  @Telstra Confusion over Telstra/Foxtel responsibility is an issue. When instructed to call Telstra by Foxtel, the T rep put me on hold “to look into it” & suddenly I found myself transferred to a F rep, more confused than I was. Why is this all so unnecessarily complicated?

  @Telstra I walk into a store to buy a phone today and I was told you won't accept my money until at least the first to second week of April. As a customer for over 10 years, this is the worst service ever.

  @debbie_prest Try talking to any one in person at Telstra. All by messaging system and go round and round where you are referred to someone else and you have to repeat why you need help. Talk about backward step and shocking customer service

  Thanks for coming (@VeteranDave) reported 32 minutes ago from Melbourne, Victoria

  Asking for @telstra help from my Twitter friends. I wasted 3 hours with their help service on Friday. Cannot view Kayo footy because download speed is too slow. Recent occurrences. My question. HTF do you get someone to come to your house and fix it? Is that still possible? 😡

  Walk into Telstra shop to renew everything and new phones contracts and only taking appointments only l have loyal customer over 20 years can’t do it on week days so put pre order iPhones first before walk in customers

  Tim McMahon (@_TimMcMahon) reported 38 minutes ago from Melbourne, Victoria

  @vertikar @NBN_Australia @Telstra Yeah, 4G. No 5G coverage in this part of Melbourne. I wish I didn't have to use a SIM from another telco to get 20+ Mbps. Telstra 4G backup is about 0.16 Mbps down with a Smart Modem. We just tether phones during work hours for video calls or sharing would be too slow.

  Stacey Murray (@Stacey_Murray_) reported 40 minutes ago from Melbourne, Victoria

  @Telstra Telstra has confirmed via phone that closest tower is offline. We have no internet in any form at all. Would like to know when it will be reinstated. Your website is not showing the outage.

  Frustrated with @amaysimAU 's 4G connection. Have had bad experiences with @VodafoneAU & @Telstra in the past with network and exhorbitant pricing. Where do I go now ?

  @RoryBurnside I’m with @Telstra with the home phone, they gave me a call guardian home phone, when set up, it forces spam calls to announce themselves, call centre workers never do, they just hang up. Haven’t had a single scam call in months

  Why is nobody talking about how when 3G towers were turned off, reception with @Telstra turned to crap? 4G and 5G provide worse coverage than we had with 3G. But we pay more now. Make it make sense.

  Greg Carver (@GregCarver39264) reported 8 minutes ago

  @realRick_AUS We need him to have a full mobile network so we can piss Telstra and Optus off forever

  manukoreri (Nick Chesterfield) 🇵🇸❤️🖤💛🇵🇸 (@manukoreri) reported 13 minutes ago

  Slow clap @Telstra with your #AusAlert @nemagovau Standing within eyesight of a tower and it took 6 min 55 to come through after everyone nearby on other networks got it. 7 minutes of delay means this is not fit for purpose. Your incompetence is proof this isn't a conspiracy.

  Good afternoon everyone I’ll briefly share my POV on choosing a good proxy. Here are the 3 major things you must check before using any IP: 1. ISP (Internet Service Provider)
This is the most important factor.
Think of it like our local networks — Glo, Airtel, MTN, or 9mobile.
Always pick residential consumer ISPs (e.g., AT&T, Comcast for USA; Telstra/TPG for Australia; Virgin Media, BT, Vodafone for UK) instead of datacenter providers (DigitalOcean, AWS, Choopa, etc.).
Websites easily flag datacenter IPs, but residential ones look like normal users on home Wi-Fi or mobile data. 2. Fraud Score / IP Reputation
Before binding the proxy, test it with tools like Scamalytics, IPQS, or Pixelscan. • ✅ Low Fraud Score (0–10) = Clean & safe. • ❌ High Fraud Score (30+) = Avoid. It will trigger CAPTCHAs, bot detection, or shadowbans.
Also check it’s not blacklisted on major spam databases. 3. IP Range (First 3 Octets)
Not all ranges from the same ISP perform the same. Some subnets get abused over time.
Australia examples:
❌ Avoid: 1., 101., 110.
✅ Good: 124., 121., 120. (Telstra) | 80. (TPG)
UK examples:
✅ Good: 86., 80. (Virgin Media) | 82., 78. (BT) Pick the right ISP and you’ll rarely get flagged. This was the main issue a lot of people faced with services like Outlier and Handshake. What proxy challenges are you currently facing? Drop them below

  @danderfield Telstra Dome first? I can't remember, I keep calling it Etihad or Docklands though, have never called it Marvel Stadium

  Satoshi Goy (@satoshigoy) reported 31 minutes ago

  The fact that the emergency AusAlert didn’t reach Optus customers who had no Optus coverage, despite Telstra towers being available, is absurd. An emergency warning system should use any available network to deliver life-saving alerts—not fail because your own carrier is down. In a disaster, network loyalty shouldn’t determine who gets warned. This needs to be fixed before the next emergency.
