  @Telstra I can give you a heap of unsatisfied Telstra customers who have tried to get issues solved and your customer support has no idea what to do. Then your customers gave to look for others to help.

  What disgraceful service @Telstra. Been in new house for more than 2 weeks. Only 4 days of NBN working. Told they would be here on Saturday between 8am and 12pm. Waited all day and then called Telstra to be told NBN will be back on Wednesday. Disgraceful.

  @mverbloot @NBN_Australia @iiNet I don't think so. I've been delighted with the 50/20 service via copper. But something hit the aerial lead-in cable at 3:30 Monday morning 3 weeks ago. A neighbour on Telstra was restored within days but for some reason NBN can't supply a tech with a ladder ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  @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.

  @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.

  @ronInBendigo @RaymondKeown3 The Belong (Telstra) plan is $25 only once you have activated a service with them it will appear when you go to change plans via their app. 10GB data per month with rollover, if you ever exceed it, it doesn't charge extra just slows to 1Mbps.

  Same with Telstra. Anyone who has hearing issues finds it very frustrating when you are speaking with someone from overseas with a strong accent.

  @TheChopperLady It’s ok. I’m already thinking of suing Telstra for ******* up my payments and putting me in this situation! So much for government assistance right? These corporations and governments are pathetically slow!

  @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.

  Australia’s mobile market: 3 brands, 1 real network outside the cities. @Telstra inherited the infrastructure, kept the spectrum, and now dominates regional coverage. If the government won’t mandate roaming, we’ll never have genuine competition.

  @MikeCarlton01 The very worst though is a toss up between Qantas and Telstra 👎😡😡
