Aussiebluemoon PAXed Out (@aussiebluemoon) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Optus when can we expect to see Pixel 7 phone preorder information? Current @Telstra customer looking for a better deal. @VodafoneAU currently looking favourite

Tim McMahon (@_TimMcMahon) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaTelstra 4G backup speed is 0.16 Mbps (down) in the Smart Modem. 💀 6.32 Mbps (down) when I use a SIM card from another telco in the modem. 🧐 Smart Modem with 4G backup is so slowwwww 🐌 @Telstra
-
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.

Declan Martin (@declanmartin75) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Aerohaveno @Telstra Never ending these days
-
Chelle 😘🤗 Tim's no 1 Fan (@SgtJackVX35482) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra I'm not a Telstra customer but ultimately Telstra owns the lines and every tech I've spoken to blames you that's it end o story

𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚛𝚕𝚘.𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚌e (@stirlospace) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@cameronwilson Also v handy for checking “does X network actually provide service where I’m at /. Work or live?” Without having to sign a contract or >1 month typically. Where I’m at in aus Telstra and Vodafone seem to be the best combo, Optus just does NOT work. At all, YMMV etc
-
Brian Humphries (@rocky1622) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaCoalition is bunch wackos especially nationals have had 9 years get phones internet for country and now in paper today there giving Telstra a wack. Stupid
-
Chris Nelson (@qldtrials) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Marni_Kelly @Telstra People make all the difference Marni. Some want to help, others don’t care
-
vito m (@vitomattvm) reported 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?
-
Johnny (@JohnnyLydon) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaHi from Telstra. NBN Co are performing network updates in your area on 21 April 2023. Your internet service may be interrupted between 12:00AM - 6:00AM for up to 20mins….” - Kooyong electorate: 2 years to get nbn connected & nearly 3 years later still this rubbish continues
-
Eternity (@vEternity_) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaCould you imagine paying for 100 down 40 up n getting 16 down 1.2 up with packet loss out the ***? See I don't have to anymore thanks to @Telstra ! What ******** is going on mate?
-
Tim McMahon (@_TimMcMahon) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@NBN_Australia @Telstra Ended up being a <12 hour outage instead of 4 days. 🥳
-
Felicity Waters (@marbledspout) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaShall I discuss invoices sent by Telstra without identifying which service I was paying for ? Or the self populating services I was paying Optus?
-
Clare Murphy (@ClareAliceMurph) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaAnyone else hit by a @Telstra outage? My home internet’s been down since yesterday afternoon and there’s been no notification or estimate of when it will be restored. It’s also not showing up in the Telstra outage checker.
-
Tony Margaritis (@sthmel) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra Quinn, it’s New Year’s Eve, cut me some slack, you are asking me to go to some other get help chat section? For what? I’ve done my bit. I am notifying Telstra that Brighton has practically no data, deal with it, we pay premium prices for this crap. HNY 🎇

Johnny (@JohnnyLydon) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaThis is my 5th message this year advising nbn co is doing running repairs on the lnp’s botched nbn. “Hi from Telstra. NBN Co are performing network updates in your area on 3 June 2022. Your internet service may be interrupted” - meantime it’s buffering & disconnects galore

techAU (@techAU) reportedCheers, 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.
-
❗️’〽️®️🌀↩️ERℹ️↪️🔀💤©️ (@maccaburbsvoice) reported@howardw46 @Telstra You can’t just be stopping all the time at every pissant station. The service stops enough at key stations and mostly stops at nearly all.
-
Di Downunder (@DFactualists) reportedF'ing @Telstra bill not due sends 50 reminders. I get the worst service & pay good money!!
-
@ag6le.bsky.social Julian (@AG6LE) reported@ChinaSelect @RepMoolenaar .@Telstra rebadge their phones, and they are junk. They refused to replace my A5 (2017) (the TIO made them give me 6 month credit to compensate after they shut down 3G/NextG). Vodafone gave me an A17 to replace it,after I was using it as a modem.
-
Jasejdv3 (@JD_ONEE) reported@LisaLemon09 Thats good, the last thing you need is issues with telstra network. We are so reliant on mobile coverage, for our phones.
-
Pete Rule (@PeterRule841618) reported@TopherField Having previously worked for both Telstra and NBN, I can say NBN satellite and wireless are complete garbage, Starlink smashes it. NBN fibre is excellent though and speeds are world comparable. Still, many Aussies pick the cheapest slow plans which reduces our world rankings
-
Uptimus (@UptimusApp) reportedAug 6, 2026 at 02:10 UTC: Recovery monitoring for Telstra has been interrupted as community reports of slow performance and downtime have increased again. Investigation is ongoing.
-
Peter Lewis (@Peter_Lewis747) reported@AuspiciousTimes @blu_boys @Optus Aldi uses “parts of the Telstra network “ if you read the fine details. Only Boost gives you access to the full Telstra network.
-
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. Thank you.

Kel So (@KelSoOz) reported@DHughesy And how did they get debt down? Asset Sales. Sold off Telstra. Sold off the Commonwealth Bank. Sold off Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Canberra Airports. Sold off Australian National Railway Assets. Not to mention the the two thirds of our gold reserves they sold.
