Rob Stephenson FRSA (@RobBendigo) reported from Bendigo, Victoria@Telstra Yes - Telstra eventually disconnected the service after we took the issue to the Telco Ombudsman. Happy to keep this discussion going in public, but the next chapter will get ugly, if you ask, “Why?”!

Paul Pickford (@PaulPickford) reported from Bendigo, Victoria@JaseRicho Make Aussie Broadband get a tech around, same thing happened to my neighbour (same company). They had to wait months to get it right, technician was the only one who could trace the problem. I went with Telstra and had it on in a week.

Brian Turner (@turnerbt3351) reported from Bendigo, VictoriaDoes anyone know how you get a staff member at Telstra to respond to a service issue you have? If you have a solution to this one that would be good.

Emma D'Agostino (@amassedmedia) reported from Bendigo, VictoriaTelstra is moving away from 3G as it looks to 4G and 5G as its networks of the future. According to Telstra, the 4G coverage outside my house should be good. So long as you can place a call outside, they don’t seem to think it’s a serious issue.

Tracey Marshall (@tracey_68) reported from Bendigo, Victoria@Telstra Good Afternoon, what is happening with 4g in Kangaroo Flat, Victoria. We have no service. Not happy.

Keef (@KeithMacqueen) reported from Bendigo, Victoria@Hammyhamster10 @TurnbullMalcolm Having a great time with the NBN getting choked and my connection all but disappearing. All the while being told the NBN isn’t down by Telstra. Joke - and a pretty poor one at that.

Coel May (@coelmay) reported from Bendigo, VictoriaEvery time I go to #Woolies #KenningtonVillage I consider switching from @amaysimAU to a provider on the #Telstra network. That's how bad reception is.

Rob Stephenson FRSA (@RobBendigo) reported from Bendigo, VictoriaBlast from the past - have had a 2021/22 telephone book delivered this morning! Still has a number for my Mum, who died five years ago, on a phone service that was disconnected after Dad died thirteen years ago! @Telstra #Catchup

💧Rob Stephenson FRSA (@RobBendigo) reported from Bendigo, Victoria@joshua_eaton I still remember my grandparents’ number - I’m sure it caused problems for some of grandma’s friends after Pa died, she moved into care, and Telstra reassigned it to a “massage” parlour. I never got around to calling them before the police raided them!

Paul Pickford (@PaulPickford) reported from Bendigo, Victoria@Telstra Thanks Renee, I will try again I think the only solution is a new tower. I have spoken to the Telstra regional manager who mentioned Hazeldenes chickens (Business) may be putting in their own tower in Lockwood that may help.

GregM (@Gmeister67) reported@WSWanderingEels True, Notice how this season Kayo started buffering on most NRL games. How to fix it, upgrade your internet plan. Guess who owns half of Kayo Telstra. Just another gouging ponzi scheme. They dont care for the players the clubs the game. Its all about profits.

Overgrown Dwarf 🏴🏴🇦🇺 (@OvrgrwnDwrf) reported@Telstra So my internet has an issue. You send me a message to go to MyTelstra to chat with a rep. My modem is in back up mode and wont load MyTelstra, so I try hotspotting off my Telstra phone. But your coverage is so sporadic that it won't even count as "connected."

𝕻𝖗𝖎𝖓𝖈𝖊𝖘𝖘 𝕾𝖐𝖞𝖑𝖆𝖗𝖚𝖘𝖎 © (@skylarusi) reported@the_LoungeFly @Telstra 2/2 ...regarding my plan's data He claimed I'd been paying $50/mth 4 3MB of data I contacted Telstra via FB They must have told him He wasn't happy When he finally contacted tech support to fix it he listened in while I was giving feedback I reported that breach of privacy on FB

enz (@enz2g) reported@joey8bitz @1WeakGuttedDog Holy **** you’re dumb. Boost is a budget provider, they are never going to give you the same PRIORITY as you’d get with Telstra otherwise the people that pay twice the amount would be getting the same service No one with boost is expecting the same speeds and priority

Andy (@Andy22000) reported@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.

스칼렛•해린 (@scarletthxxrin7) reported@Telstra hi, How long can a Telstra prepaid number stay active without a recharge before the service is cancelled? I’ll be overseas for around 2 to 3 months and want to keep my number without buy any data. it will be wasted.

Funkdoctor (@Docsthename) reportedI think Telstra is having relationship issues with NBN which is delaying my divorce with Telstra 😤

calmingdown (@joey8bitz) reported@enz2g @1WeakGuttedDog Telstra is really going to hinder its own company 🙄 You, are the ******. Telstra has shareholders that want as MUCH money as possible. There is no way they would intentionally jeopardise that. You are full of ****, plain and simple.

Chad (@OTheChad) reported@mynameiskiiiid @TheKouk Structural deficit? Mate, let's get this straight.Australia's structural budget issues blew out post-GFC and especially under recent big-spending governments — not from Howard paying down $96b in inherited debt while running surpluses. Howard left the budget in strong shape with low debt and a Future Fund seeded. Today's deficits (still projected around 1% of GDP with net debt heading to ~20%+) come from exploding recurrent spending: NDIS, aged care, welfare, and public sector bloat — not a lack of 'productivity policy' from the 90s/00s. Howard-era asset sales (Telstra etc.) shifted assets to private hands where they often delivered better efficiency and innovation — exactly what boosts productivity. Privatisation and microeconomic reforms in the 80s-90s drove Australia's strong productivity surge in the late 90s/early 00s. Blaming today's slump on "record low infrastructure spending" 25-30 years ago is the real stretch. Recent productivity stagnation (labour productivity near flat since ~2016-17, weakest in decades) has clear modern drivers:Services shift — healthcare, education, public admin (non-market sectors) now dominate and have abysmal productivity growth. Faster broadband, transport, and training matter — but governments have poured billions into infrastructure since then (and states still do). The constraint isn't some 1990s "under-spend"; it's getting value for money, avoiding waste, and prioritising high-return projects over recurrent blowouts. Private sector dynamism, competition, and sensible tax settings deliver productivity far more reliably than more government "facilitation" funded by structural deficits. You know what actually restricts productivity policy? Promising endless spending while ignoring incentives, efficiency, and evidence. Structural deficits today crowd out future options through higher interest and taxes — not the other way around." This keeps it punchy, factual, and directly dismantles the causal link while flipping the deficit argument.
