Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, VictoriaJFC! I order new phones from @Telstra. I get 8 missed calls & a voicemail from Telstra Business Centres. I waited 12mins to find out Kelly wanted to tell me about their exciting products but she was busy with someone else. @andy_penn I feel like a commission cheque not a customer

Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, Victoria@Telstra The specialist team never contacted me despite the message here that it had been escalated to them. So many failures from your side in handling this matter.

Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, Victoria@Telstra Email received from fixit team rep Tuesday morning AEDT. Replied Tuesday afternoon AEDT. Sent follow up early Thursday morning AEDT. Called midday AEDT today, got voicemail and emailed to ensure she knew I'd called and wasn't OoO. My initial complaint was submitted ~6wks ago.

Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, Victoria@Telstra Thanks for the boilerplate response. I feel like a valued customer. The issue is the complaints team are unwilling not unable to resolve this matter.

Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, Victoria@Telstra It doesn’t seem to matter who makes the request. It all goes into the same black hole. You know things are bad when @andy_penn can’t fix stuff at Telstra.
-
Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, Victoria@Telstra I have suggested times she could call. She always calls at other times. She never calls back within the windows advised by colleagues. Email is the most efficient way for us to move forward at this point.
-
Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, Victoria@Telstra I can also give them the TIO complaint # when they contact me. The team lead I was dealing with insisted on sending more boilerplate about me emailing my DOB and refusing to acknowledge I’d authenticated over the phone. I don’t care who sorts it out. Email me a concrete offer.
-
Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, VictoriaFor 2mths @Telstra have mishandled my order and follow up complaint. @andy_penn’s fixit team refuse to review all the material but they think a $60 “good will” credit is enough to make up for it. @MichaelAckland3 I really feel like a valued long term customer.

Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, Victoria@hipstergeddon @Telstra I finally found someone competent. Hopefully I’ll get a resolution tomorrow.

Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, VictoriaTelstra fuckups are like bad luck, they always come in 3s. I'm being billed for O365 with no warning previous free offer had expired. 10 digit account numbers allow access to different products compared to a 13 digit one. Getting an Apple Watch on a business plan is a major PITA.
-
Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, Victoria@Telstra I wasn’t getting anywhere with the complaints team lead. I lodged a complaint with the TIO. They told me to work with Telstra to resolve the issue. The team lead is insisting I deal with the TIO. That contradicts what the TIO says you should be doing.

Dave Hall (@skwashd) reported from Newstead, Victoria@mattgillard @Telstra I’ve found chat is the best way to get shit sorted with Telstra these days. The transcript is very helpful in case of problems down the road.

The Noisy Elephant (@TheNoisyTrunk) reported@adrian_couper "Telstra is a perfect example. The public owned it, public funds built it, and then the government sold it back to us as shares, what a ‘great deal’ for the people, right? In reality, the public purse lost a reliable income stream, and most everyday Australians (the ‘mum and dad’ investors) ended up on the losing end. Institutional investors and super funds snapped up the lion’s share, while retail investors often saw their holdings underperform or get diluted over time. The privatisation was framed as empowering the public, but the system was stacked in favour of the big players from the start. What John Howard did was sold the golden goose that lays eggs to pay down debt to make himself look good. Short-term.

DBMG 🇦🇺 (@dbmgreen) reported@james00000001 NBN 50000km of new copper wire $.7bil Now Telstra/NBN have to retrofit secure pits to stop people stealing the copper. Not a problem with all fibre. The LNP completely screwed AUS all the while paying their mates millions to manage it. #industrialisedcorruption

davie ewan macdonald (@escalatorover) reported.@Telstra In 2025 I had an issues with Telstar email outgoing server to my desktop. Eventually after 8 weeks Telstra finally accepted they were a cause of the dysfunction of my application. Today after 7 weeks I have had cause to write the following to Telstra. Dear Help Desk (Vicki Brady) Last Thursday and I don't know if it was in response to my previous write message (ONE OF SEVERAL) I was via text/sms promised a support call. New Case/reference Number 129518320 I have heard nothing! This issue with your server connectivity to my desk top application,encryption to your server incoming to my app means this matter has been ongoing now for 7 weeks. In April/May 2025 it took Telstra 8 weeks to accept responsibility. In the meantime I have been struggling with Webmail and today I can report in detail recorded over the past 3 days 11 (Eleven) separate bugs in webmail that are repeated multiple times amounting to 21 (Twenty One) cases of dysfunctional instances this morning. These issues reported at least as far back as 2023 but were again at various times over the past 7 (Seven) weeks. Only with a desktop application can these issues be minimized. The last consultant prior to my message of last week was highly disingenuous with me saying he would keep the case open until I as I offered to do again consult MS about the issues . The outcome was he simply closed the case as reported to you Tuesday last. DM's not accepted. Here is fine. Nothing to hide

Jumbarrawa (@jumbarrawa) reportedTwice this morning, you have bumped me off @telstra. What is your deal ?? Your service has disconnected over a dozen times in the last few days. I think I need to take you to the ACCC. I do not have the luxury of waiting 20 minutes each time your service goes down. seriously. We're going to have words today. This is RUBBISH. ALDI buying lines from you, and THAT is not going down at a 1/3 of the price you sting me for.

Muskonomy (@muskonomy) reportedNEWS: Telstra and TPG push Australian government for competitive spectrum auctions despite SpaceX warning Australian mobile carriers Telstra and TPG Telecom have urged the government to go ahead with open, competitive auctions for spectrum licences used for mobile and satellite mobile services, even after SpaceX warned it would withhold Starlink satellite mobile service in Australia if it isn’t given priority access to key wireless spectrum. SpaceX has made it clear that its satellite-to-mobile network (Starlink Direct to Cell) needs guaranteed access to Australia’s wireless airwaves to launch its full services — including voice and data for phones directly from satellites. But Telstra and TPG argue that giving one provider priority access risks limiting competition and could lock in high prices for consumers. A TPG spokesperson said competitive auctions are important because market concentration is a real risk if policy settings favour a single operator. They stressed Australia should encourage multiple satellite providers and business models, not entrench dominance by any one company, whether traditional mobile or satellite-based. Telstra and TPG’s stance comes amid broader debate about how Australia will manage spectrum — a critical resource that carries all mobile voice, text and data traffic. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has been consulting on future spectrum licences and how to allocate them fairly as older licences expire and new services are developed. Telstra itself has been active in satellite-mobile tech, testing and rolling out basic satellite messaging in Australia using SpaceX’s Direct to Cell system, but carriers say full commercial services must not be tied to exclusive spectrum access for one provider.

Katarina Brozovic+ (@brozovicbasic) reportedAustralians have a social contract with Australia Post and Telstra, to provide an equitable service across our whole country, regardless of how remotely and away from the eastern capitals people live and work. If the Minister can't ensure that, then resign!
