Benedict (@The_Enunciator) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@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
-
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.

Tim (@TimothyJ_23) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra Nope. 4G. Just everything grinds to a halt. Slow to load at Halftime break. I understand load increases at those times when lots of people are on their phones but it seems telstra is the only network that really struggles here.

-
Tim McMahon (@_TimMcMahon) reported from Melbourne, Victoria6.32 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. 😱
-
Danial Smith (@daniel2509) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra I sent a request via the app but nothing so I took it straight to Samsung and it seems the video and multiple forum post is not enough for them to admit their s22 range has this issue. They want it sent for analysis and repair before considering a refund.

DevaDev (@DevaDev21) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra Hope you can help - viktor. DM'ed as suggested. Help with fixing the network issue or help with port out of telstra.

vito m (@vitomattvm) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaHey @Telstra @Foxtel the communication between the two of you & the ability to resolve an issue is awful. Upgrading a Foxtel box should not be this complicated. Into the 3rd hour now….
-

They were then getting someone to call yesterday and surprise. Nobody called. I'll send a message but not holding my breath for a resolution
-
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.
-
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
-
Timothy 💉💉💉 (@timothy_89) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaOnly getting 3G in collingwood @Telstra 5G outage?
-
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

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.

Joseph Thomas (@j_seph_th_mas) reportedTwelve live Australian job ads integrate AI in the title with enablement, transformation, automation, or change. Only ten companies have posted them. HESTA is hiring an “Enterprise AI Enablement Lead,” TAL an “AI and Automation Lead,” IAG an “AI and Automation Principal.” Aware Super wants an “AI Strategy Change Lead”. CBA’s is a financial crime compliance role, and Insignia Financial’s is in risk. Four engineering roles at Canva, Xero, and Telstra. Which leaves two, and both are at EY. One is an “Associate Partner - Solutions Architect - AI Transformation,” sold through its Microsoft alliance. The other is a “Transformation and AI Marketing Leader” on a 12-month parental leave cover to take EY’s AI transformation offering to market. It’s the only live Australian marketing role in the twelve, and the AI capability it asks for- advanced use of Copilot, ChatGPT, and Perplexity- is in the optional skills. I built a workforce intelligence platform, and I’m analysing how AI is being written into new job roles. As of 27th August 2026, it holds 1,603 live Australian specs across 102 companies. Of 1,522 live marketing specs globally, 232 are AI-central, roles where AI is core or supporting the work as written. Of those, 179 (77.2%) carry no decision architecture. Nothing about who checks the model or who can override it, and no one is named accountable for what it produces. Across all functions, it’s 65.1%. Marketing is 12.1 points worse. Australian marketing is 101 live specs. Eight are AI-central, and seven of them have zero decision architecture. A CMO who hasn’t hired for this borrows it from an agency. Agencies post AI-central roles in 13.3% of 2,763 live specs. The banks and insurers they pitch to post them in 13.2% of 2,261. The seller and the buyer are hiring at the same rate. One Australian marketing team has written the role properly. NAB advertised a Head of Agentic Marketing in May, asking the hire to support the “redesign of marketing operating models and workflows using AI agents,” with humans kept in the loop and someone named accountable for what the agents produce. It scored 4 out of 4 in decision architecture, the only Australian marketing spec in 402 to do so. It hasn’t been live since 7th June 2026.

afraid_au (@afraid_au) reportedAussie @tarkov players using iPrimus or Telstra as an ISP may be experiencing high ping to the Sydney server. No ETA on a fix at this time.
-
Ray G Kosanjic (@kosanjic) reported@PeterD84508 @DHughesy You idiot. Both sides of parliament agreed to sell. It was costing Australians hundreds of millions as a public service model. If Telstra was government owned now we’d be further down a hole.
-
🐭 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.

Tas_Devil (@SarinaSkib70634) reported@JakeBeer11 @ClareONeilMP Not only building industry. Indians bought all big pharmacy from Chinese. Telstra franchises and so on. Whenever you go there are Indians. Some of them very rude.
