    @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!

    Blast 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

    @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.

    @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?”!

    Does 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.

    @Telstra Good Afternoon, what is happening with 4g in Kangaroo Flat, Victoria. We have no service. Not happy.

    Telstra 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.

    Every time I go to #Woolies #KenningtonVillage I consider switching from @amaysimAU to a provider on the #Telstra network. That's how bad reception is.

    @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.

    @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.

    @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.

    @the_LoungeFly @Telstra You have to go through the ombudsman to get an Australian staff member, someone with access to your records apparently or can fix anything. The call centers are just to keep you preoccupied long enough that you get sick of it and go away.

  • akintowarlock
    D.J. Grey (@akintowarlock) reported

    Dear @telstra? What do you make of this? The fact that apparently you are to be seen as selling a paying customer down the river for not only the last year and half but the next 6+ months as well? Can you believe @TelstraAU did this ? ~ December James Grey.

    @Maddog6461 @Telstra Optus tower went out round the corner from here and you needed a mobile phone signal to open the padlock!!!

    @Telstra It could be my device needs a restart but it could also be that the service you guys at Telstra actually provide doesn’t match what the sales reps and advertising promise

    @Teh_Jkr @Optus Look into new customer deals… If you find one that suits cancel your current plan and sign up with a new one. Loyalty gets you nowhere with them OR Telstra they’ve done the same.

  • FrancisMcF1O

    Working in regional NSW today and only @Telstra users could make calls. Optus: no signal. Vodafone: non‑existent. 2026 and we still don’t have a shared rural network? When one telco holds all the coverage, it’s not a choice - it’s a monopoly. #WakeUpAustralia #NannyStateNSW

    @cyberpunkdingo Yes, Telstra as you mentioned did a signed deal with Infosys. 600 jobs gone, all local IT contracting staff were retrenched. Then they use some onshore workers to run the service but the workers are mainly offshore. NAB also partnered with Accenture this failed miserably.

  • FrancisMcF1O
    Francis McF (@FrancisMcF1O) reported

    Funny how Telstra says they don’t have a monopoly… Yet every emergency service, farm, mine, truckie, and regional business is forced onto their network. If everyone must use one provider, that’s a monopoly.

    @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.
