Jamie (@scibidoo) reported from Cairns, Queensland@mig_loren @bencmorrison I have my iPhone and iPad on Telstra SIM with shared data.255gb shared. It's come down over the years but the convenience of an esim when travelling is pretty cool. Still expensive if you just use the Apple provider interface.

Colin Ritchie (@ColinCleanEnery) reported@sydney_ev Telstra has been using batteries & solar on their relay stations for years. - they fail when overcast for 3 days. Farmers complain that they charge their Li-ion batteries and 3 months later when they need to use them, they have discharged. Just life

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.

Michael (@MSVLKnight) reported@PeterWMurphy1 In defence of telecomms in this country - Telstra has been obligated under the Universal Service Obligation to provide the first landline at a premises for the same price - regardless of location at the same price as the first line in a CBD. This does not apply to Vodafone...

M_a_r_ke (@Ma_rk_e) reported@IceStationSpmda @fag_daughter Telstra has been paid for decades to provide a payphone service it cost more to fix vandalism then Telstra collected in call revenue, it's simply cheaper to make it free

The Lord (@lord_tizza) reportedAnd Telstra support said it was a fault, after a hour and a half of trouble shooting. I checked NBN and looks like a service outage in our area - checked a couple of addresses in our road. How long do these usually take to resolve? I was looking forward to a good long weekend :(
-
****** (@Yarrahbunjyil) reported@AlboMP And if Telstra were repairing lines in the bush instead of letting them rot while they "roll-out the NBN", I might even take advantage of it. But they're not, so the Service Agreement isn't being honoured, the TIO won't do anything, & no one gives a damn. So thanks for nothing!

MalFPS (@MalFPS_) reported@OwlAims god damn. Yeah 50Mbps is like the basic norm for rural australia if you dont invest in a decent router and internet plan with a good provider (literally anybody but telstra lmfao)
