  Your support is horrendous. I had garbage speeds with Telstra, but at least they were available almost 24 hours a day.

  @WhereMyOstrich @ausstockchick No need to respond in such a derogatory manner. Here is the list, I pulled this from Grok in app you can verify it easily. Recent major Australian companies announcing significant domestic layoffs and offshoring of corporate/white-collar roles — Woolworths, Officeworks, Telstra, and NAB — have timed these moves amid sharp rises in domestic employment costs. • Woolworths (early June 2026) is offshoring hundreds of head-office roles in IT, finance, and HR to India/Philippines as part of cost-cutting to stay competitive with Aldi and Amazon. • Officeworks (late May 2026) is shifting hundreds of support, customer service, and tech roles to Bengaluru and Manila, boosted by AI/automation. • Telstra (earlier 2026) cut hundreds of roles (up to 650 in rounds) with work moving offshore to India. • NAB has expanded offshore teams in India/Vietnam (adding 1,000+ roles) while managing Australian redundancies. This wave aligns closely with escalating domestic labour costs: The national minimum wage and award rates rose 3.5% from July 2025, superannuation guarantee hit 12%, and the Fair Work Commission announced further increases effective July 2026 (4.75% on awards, ~5.9–6% on the minimum wage to $26.44/hour). Combined with weak productivity growth, higher on-costs (payroll tax, workers’ comp, etc.), and strong wage pressures, this has widened the cost gap versus offshore locations where skilled roles can be 30–70% cheaper. Companies cite these factors — plus efficiency drives — as key reasons for prioritising offshoring while protecting or growing frontline retail/store jobs domestically. This reflects a broader 2025–2026 trend among Aussie firms responding to cost-arbitrage opportunities in a high-wage, lower-productivity environment.

  @VoteLewko @Starlink Telstra promises speeds of 500Mbps and delivers 50. Average time wasted in customer care calls is around 30 min. The speed a never consistent. But price hikes every year. They were offering measly 50 Mbps but just to thwart starlink they offered higher speeds on paper.

  @ellymelly Spare a thought for those of us who have no choice of provider so have to just suck it up. Same goes for phone service and Telstra says if we don't like it then disconnect and have no phone at all.

  @Telstra Your customer service team are disgusting. They mixed up NBN and Optimcomm and not one person answered a single question I asked. Absolutely disgusting. I want to raise a formal complaint.
