Marc Christie (@Marc1983x) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaHey @Telstra is there an issue with crossed lines or something on the 4g network?
-
Danial Smith (@daniel2509) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra Thanks, but if the Samsung store is unable to resolve this issue in their store I don't think Telstra can. I will continue my discussions with Samsung and hopefully get a refund on this S22 and go back to an iPhone.

Nick in Melbourne (@NickIvaninMelb) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaBest play of the day in the #aflgf so far has to be the Telstra ad during the break, highlighting how safe their network is…

Tim McMahon (@_TimMcMahon) reported from Melbourne, Victoria4G backup is a joke. 0.16 Mbps down and 0.55 Mbps up. HFC is a joke. Don't tell me infrastructure is failing during summer because it's 27C and 20-30 year old equipment is dying. 💀 Paying a premium for this. 😬 @Telstra

Sue Roberts (@sueroberts7) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@mjrowland68 @BreakfastNews Grateful I’m a Telstra customer 🙏
-
Tim McMahon (@_TimMcMahon) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@vertikar @NBN_Australia @Telstra I received an SMS later to expect 4 days of no internet. 💀 I've got a backup service running at full speed through another telco. Best not to put all our eggs in one basket if nbn HFC and Telstra mobile are both unusable while WFH. 🥵 Fortunate that there's overlapping coverage.

James Hutcheon (@hutcho66) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@taipan168 And Telstra only faces minimum service guarantees in a very small component of the business where they continue to hold assets that used to be owned by the government. That's shrinking over time as the NBN buys out the copper.
-
Nikki Clare (@Niksterisms) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaOh @Telstra I’m also $300+ in credit, but apparently your new system doesn’t talk to your old system, so will I ever be refunded that amount? The reason that I was ahead on my plan was because I set up my own payments to avoid being giving a bad credit rating you once threatened
-
Tanya (@tigertufftanya) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@andrewtiger9 @Telstra It is horrid. We had no Foxtel for over 24 hours because there was a fault with the Telstra cable it runs off.
-
James (@jamesphumphreys) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@NBN_Australia @Telstra what does one have to do to get something fixed? 6 weeks of back and forth and nobody can sort the problem. Surely this can't be too hard.

Eileen Ormsby (@EileenOrmsby) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra Hey, #telstra why ask to DM if all you’re going to do is tell me to message the app? Why not say it here? The app is an abyss of endless requests to repeat the steps that didn’t work the first 50 times, before fading away without a resolution
-
Nikki Clare (@Niksterisms) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra can you please advise if there is any ongoing issue with the NBN in Kings Park Vic 3021 area. It’s been over 3 weeks now and it keeps dropping in and out. I’ve replaced a cord and it’s still happening. Thanks

-
Nikki Clare (@Niksterisms) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaHey Tweeps, is anyone who has the iPhone 14 Pro having issues with the phone taking forever to load things when it’s on wifi? Is it a 5G drama or is this just a Telstra thing?
-
Glenn Hampson (@GlennHampson) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@TonyCinema I have had no issue with their service and their price point craps all over Telstra for the same thing.

Bighead1883 @henrykklemens.bsky.social (@Biggy1883again) reportedHello @Telstra , why are we yet again experiencing very slow internet on our mobile phones in Laverton Western Australia? Do a proper upgrade to counter the 500+ FIFO`s in town every day. Also as soon as schools out the speed reduces exponentially.
-
Nicole Kennedy 🇦🇺 (@kennedylnicole) reported@Telstra I have requested cancellation of a service on four separate occasions, yet continue to be charged multiple times. This morning your chat team again asked whether I wish to cancel it. Please confirm the cancellation under reference 130242508 and address my complaint 136862308 at your earliest convenience. Can you also explain the photo information? Thank you.

John Merchant (@_JohnMerchant) reported@central01000011 Depends on the network, Telstra and Optus are great. But I have no idea about Vodafone.

Rohanc (@rohancct) reportedForget the Telstra outage, there should be a senate investigation into AFL Tables being down for hours.

Ray (@rayethesis) reportedThis chart puts Starlink’s scale into perspective. At roughly $11.4B in annualized revenue, Starlink is already approaching the revenue scale of established telecom giants such as Singtel and sits in the same neighborhood as Telstra. That is remarkable considering Starlink is a relatively young satellite broadband network competing against companies that have spent decades building terrestrial infrastructure, spectrum portfolios, and massive subscriber bases. The important signal here is not just the absolute revenue, but how quickly Starlink has reached a level that takes traditional telecom companies decades to build. However, the comparison also exposes the problem. Telecom is a huge business, but it is not necessarily a high-growth business. Companies like China Mobile, Verizon, Deutsche Telekom, AT&T and NTT generate tens or even hundreds of billions in annual revenue, yet the market typically assigns them much lower growth expectations because connectivity eventually becomes a mature utility. Starlink has a better growth profile today because it is still penetrating underserved markets, adding capacity, expanding internationally, and converting new customers. But as the revenue base moves from $10B toward $20B, $30B and beyond, the question becomes whether Starlink can maintain venture-like growth rates while operating inside what is ultimately a telecom market. The bullish argument is that Starlink is not exactly a traditional telecom company. Its satellite constellation gives SpaceX a global distribution network that terrestrial operators struggle to replicate, particularly in rural areas, developing markets, maritime, aviation and other difficult-to-connect environments. There is also optionality around direct-to-device connectivity, enterprise services, government contracts and potentially other satellite applications. If those businesses become meaningful revenue streams, Starlink could evolve from simply being "satellite internet" into a broader space infrastructure platform. That would justify a much more aggressive valuation than simply capitalizing Starlink like another telecom operator. But this is where I think investors need to be careful with the SpaceX hype. A $11.4B revenue run-rate sounds enormous, but revenue alone does not determine the quality of the business. Starlink requires enormous capital expenditure to deploy and replenish satellites, ground infrastructure and user terminals, while bandwidth economics and competition will determine how much of that revenue eventually becomes free cash flow. The really interesting question is not whether Starlink can reach $20B or $30B in revenue. It is whether SpaceX can continue compounding revenue rapidly without Starlink becoming just another giant, capital-intensive telecom business. My take: SpaceX is incredibly cool, and Starlink reaching ~$11.4B of annual revenue is genuinely impressive. But if the main growth engine for the SpaceX story is ultimately just telecom, I'm much less excited. A bigger Starlink is great, but a bigger telecom company alone does not create an extraordinary valuation. The real upside comes if Starlink becomes the cash-flow engine that funds a much larger SpaceX ecosystem: launch, defense, direct-to-device, satellite infrastructure and eventually entirely new space-based businesses. Starlink is impressive but starlink alone is not enough. $SPCX

bitterboy (@twistedandbitte) reported@Telstra What a bloody disgrace you are Telstra. Heard back from the person the complaint went to. Their response was instead of discussing the issue bluntly told us that given they have called us the case is now closed. Never discussed anything refused to discuss anything.

Big Dazz (@DBureges) reported@AFL @Telstra Did they just breed another Heeney wtf
-
🐭 Clay Ross (@duexfoiscross) reported@FabClemm394 @Australis_Felix Howard sold Telstra which delayed Australian productivity and our gold reserves to buy votes to achieve a surplus that put Australia behind. Policies that still hurts Australia, Google Howard and the worst deal of the century.
-
Aisha (@oops_aisha) reported@AshConnell @marka_eth That would be some kind of technical error unfortunately. You’re supposed to get thru to a Telstra operator first who asks you fire, amb, or police and then they transfer and stay on the line till u make contact w the appropriate emergency call taker

Rewster (@Rewster7) reported@NRL Hopefully there's no Telstra outage for the occassion
