-
Justin Holland (@novahollandia) reported from Maitland, New South Wales@Telstra spoke to a technician. Apparently a problem with the line. #NBN involved ( God help us). Appointment now booked for (Drum roll....) 14th April Seriously? I suppose the NBN technical support can't be faster than the #NBN.

Julian 🇦🇺 (@JKRLMazur) reported from Cessnock, New South Wales@Telstra Yeah, I will. It’s a real shame that this service is the norm. There’s a lot cheaper options out there, and you’d think service would be amazing from Telstra, but nope.
-
Julian 🇦🇺 (@JKRLMazur) reported from Cessnock, New South Wales@Telstra your live chat is a total shitshow. I wasted 20 minutes there with an issue and got non coherent answers from a team leader. I’m so sick of you and your shitty service, and your inability to send me a paper bill on time, or in this case at all.
-
Julian 🇦🇺 (@JKRLMazur) reported from Cessnock, New South Wales@Telstra Yep. Unfortunately I’m so disgusted with the way I’ve been treated as a customer will see me head to @optus Telstra high prices dont reflect the service you receive from staff when there is a problem. It’s disgraceful. By far the worst telco I have dealt with, ever.

CLV155* (@colinelvy11) reported from Loxford, New South Wales@RonniSalt @Telstra Up em Ronni. Love their customer service model: - “F•ck the customer. Make em wait.”

CLV155* (@colinelvy11) reported from Loxford, New South Wales@MaryaEJones @Telstra Up and running with a new provider now Marya. I took the hint that Telstra didn’t want me as a customer which is what they must have been doing

Sir Craig Diebert (@eldieberto) reported from Maitland, New South Wales@stymo78 @Telstra @brandonvidler help a bloke out #locallegend

🇦🇺Julian 🇦🇺 (@JKRLMazur) reported from Cessnock, New South Wales@Telstra 2hrs this morning wasted with your member chat trying to take out a new contract, long term customer counts for nothing, go on Optus site and as a nobody I got a better deal straight off.
-
Justin Holland (@novahollandia) reported from Maitland, New South Wales@Telstra hi, my wife's NBN has been down for 2 days. She's rung several times only for her call to ring out. Pretty hard to run a business with no NBN.
-
Julian 🇦🇺 (@JKRLMazur) reported from Cessnock, New South Wales@Telstra No way will I be staying with Telstra when my plan is done. Sorry to say but you’ll lose me as a customer no matter what.
-
The Hon. Bob Baldwin (@bobbaldwinmp) reported from Maitland, New South WalesWent to upgrade my iphone today. @telstra want my CC details for automatic deductions each month. (Never been late with monthly payment yet) With all the current cyber security issues I cannot agree with giving approval to a potential target company to make auto deductions
-
CLV155* (@colinelvy11) reported from Loxford, New South Wales@Telstra It’s the second time Emily. But guess what ? I’m working at a superb solution to the matter And I was a Telstra customer for years
-
🇦🇺Julian 🇦🇺 (@JKRLMazur) reported from Cessnock, New South Wales@recneps51 @Optus @NSW_FairTrading I bpay to telstra also, I know they charge me for a paper bill, which I request but never receive, but I don’t know about the other bit. I’d never allow direct debit, especially Optus, I used to ring them every other month about issues.
-
Julian 🇦🇺 (@JKRLMazur) reported from Cessnock, New South Wales@Telstra Leasing a phone was the worst choice I made to be honest. I expected I’d receive a call or letter at the 12mo mark with an option to renew, replace or buy out but I wasn’t contacted. I would have bought it out then.

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.

Murray (@MyNameIsMurray) reported@Starlink I can see the tower from my front door. I'm less than 5km from a major centre that rivals our capitol city CBD. Telstra reprioritised the tower equipment to service a wealthy nearby suburb, meaning my entire area gets no service at all. Like, zero bars. And they don't care.

RJHtweets (@RJHtweets66) reported@MikeCarlton01 Exactly 👍 I’ll even name names of absolute fvcked customer experiences I’ve had recently Telstra Suncorp Terri Scheer Energy Australia Commonwealth Bank Qantas JUST to name a few 🤬
-
Josh (@WhiteSpear86) reported@pittworldwide Gah - that’s so crap - have you checked the coverage maps recently? They were just updated because Telstra were *************** and said they had coverage despite it only being 1 bar of 4G
-
SnowmanNFT (@NftSnowman) reported@NicFromOz They use Telstra wholesale network, coverage shouldn’t change from what you have now, 4G, no 5G, I have used them, changed to Superloop though, tied in with NBN plan for bundle discount.
-
Johnny KO’d (@JohnnyKod9) reported@Telstra are you having network problems in Footscray Victoria?
-
stevie (@stevie_builds) reported@robj3d3 @ThreeUK Same as what Jakey was saying. I was on Telstra (aussie), while i was in SEA. PAYG, and id still receive texts, but after 7-8 months they told me they were gonna cancel my plan because i hadnt recharged... luckily they planned to do that the day i got back, but if i just paid $30 to recharge after 7 months i guess that would have given me another 7 months...
-
St Mary MacKiller (@StMaryMacKiller) reported@pjfred60 Those trees have been down for 1-4 years. 2 are actually Icarus’ nests🥺 but it was storms and Telstra that caused it. Telstra ran thru the back here and all the trees died - which is apparently what happens.
-
samantha 🏳️⚧️ (@Samantha7ey) reported@yuyan497 im also with telstra alongside many other people and i always get reception along that part of the network
-
Steven Payne (@CmonMick) reported@meshygrey And then we sold CommBank, Qantas, Medibank, Telstra, CSL, Syd/Melb Airports and most of our energy and water assets because govts are big bad meanies and private corporations we're going to take us to the promise land🫤
