-
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 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 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 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.
-
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 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, 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@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, 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.

Ignatius Tse (@Ignatius_Tse) reported@Telstra is there a reason why mobile data is so bad in Ashfield? It’s bad inside the mall but today it was unusable outside on the street as well even though the phone indicated 2 bar of reception.
-
notonlyacocky (@hasselljpb) reportedI had to help a tech at the local ph tower last night because the power tripped. (Access in the night is a bit dodgy) Electronic lock that needed guess what? Phone coverage!!! Lucky it was an @optus tower and he had @Telstra You can’t make this up!!!

Brian Basson (@BassonBrain) reported🇦🇺Australia: @Starlink To Benefit From Telstra’s Dodgy Size Claims Industry data indicates strong growth in Starlink uptake, with retailers reporting a surge in demand and the service’s customer base in Australia doubling in 2025. One in five rural households that switched providers last year chose Starlink, according to market estimates. The shift reflects growing frustration among regional consumers, some of whom say Starlink offers more reliable performance at a lower cost than traditional telco plans. Telstra will be forced to cut back its advertised network coverage by around 1 million square km's following a regulatory crackdown on what the federal government has described as a “mess” of inconsistent and potentially misleading industry claims. Under new rules announced by Communications Minister Anika Wells, telcos must adopt stricter standards for how mobile coverage is measured and marketed—changes that directly impact Telstra, long known for promoting the scale of its network. The revisions will require the removal of an area roughly the size of New South Wales from Telstra’s coverage maps, raising questions about how accurately Australians have been informed about service availability, particularly in regional and remote areas. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) will introduce a new four-tier system—Good, Moderate, Basic and No Coverage—based on whether a standard mobile phone can deliver a usable service, rather than simply detecting a signal.

em 💋 (@emmastacey_) reported@Telstra Why is the internet not working in Cranbourne this morning? Says planned works for 4G/5G but nothing about home internet.

⚡︎♖♤ V A L E R Y E - G R A V E S ♤♖⚡︎ (@ValeryeSnep) reportedAfter being a loyal customer to Telstra for as long as I can remember, starting with prepaid credit to a Bring Your Own Device simcard plan, I've swapped to Belong mobile. I'm not accepting a ten dollar increase to my phone bill with no additional exrltras. **** you Telsta.
-
Jimbo Jones (@JimboJones2025) reported@Telstra How about you fix your connection as well. Biggest Australian telco and still having network issues. What crap are you

tom flynn (@tomdflynn) reportedI missed a Telstra bill Now my phone can't make calls Paid the bill yesterday My phone still can't make calls Very long term Telstra customer Time to move
-
MetOshi (@met_oshi) reported@RealMetroLounge @WindsorDebs You should take one look at what Telstra did to both the cellular network and our internet infrastructure. Telstra were still offering capped data when other companies had unlimited; Telstra denied uncapped data could exist
-
Salt N pepper 🌶️ (@Partytime63) reported@MarkAClarkson @Telstra I left Telstra years ago and not going back unless they are the only one left in the market. Telstra is the most expensive service provider in the world. They are also not honest about the blackspot in many parts of remote areas.

🇺🇦Hans Orph🇺🇦 (@HansOrph) reportedCya Telstra you've increased the price for the second time in <12mths, aren't willing to even discuss it beyond "it is what it is, we're the best" (paraphrasing). So @Telstra's lack of client retention attempts has lost me as a customer. I'm paying out and moving on.
