    @Telstra may I just say how frustrating it is to accomplish simple tasks via your silly chat system in the app, a simple messagebank change should not take 2 months of waiting days for a reply, then when I reply being kicked back to the bot! Fix it or answer calls! #TelstrFail

    @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.

    @jriewolod @Telstra You can contact OPAN Older person’s advocacy Network for free advice and support to get justice and a full refund. The Australian Competition Consumer Commission ACCC can also assist with unfair contacts that over promise and under deliver on contractual agreements. 1800 700 600

    @abcnews So my experience using IIG was a dream, just dealing with Telstra in the lead up was a horror and why I am no longer their customer.

    @WSWanderingEels @ardmorelad Yep Aus govt also own the NBN network who mainly use the Telstra network, amongst other smaller players. Everyone gets a drink

    @VoteLewko @Starlink It's about time for Optus and Telstra to go down the drain. Some of the worst and scammiest Australian companies. They charge you an arm and a leg for something that never works.

  • MyNameIsMurray
    Murray (@MyNameIsMurray) reported

    I read an article suggesting that @Starlink could come to Australia as a phone service. Oh, I hope it's real. Telstra utterly sucks, has massive blackspots everywhere, is ludicrously expensive, and has terrible customer service. Optus & Vodafone are worse. We need competition.

    @Martywa467 @VoteLewko @Starlink NBN faults are dealt with via the telcos. After four cancelled appointments by NBN after Telstra said it was an NBN issue ( it was), I bought a Telstra 5G router and threw out the NBN box. I would prefer Starlink but it has a congestion charge in our area of $700.

    Julie Burgess (@julieburgess623) reported

    @Telstra for 5 days now we have been unable to watch Foxtel as our internet speed is 4.49 as per their consultant. We have contacted NBN who told us to contact Telstra. The person there said the problem is our modem which it is not. We need a solution please Telstra.

    The insult is that Telstra is also upping my plan cost by $10 a month so they are simultaneously telling me I'm a risk, but also to go **** myself and pay it anyway.

    SJP (@SJPtweets) reported

    @telstra I was paying $80 per month and after contacting customer services, I am suddenly paying $84????? There was no warning of a price increase

    @OGmusical @SkyNewsAust 2026 (Enterprise Restructuring): Telstra announced major workforce restructures, cutting hundreds of enterprise and IT roles in Australia. A significant portion of this work and technical support was offshored to the Indian-based ICT firm Infosys and its joint venture with Accenture.Current Operations: Voice calls from standard Australian consumer and small business customers are still generally handled domestically, while much of the complex technical delivery, IT support, and enterprise services are managed through hubs in India.Reach

    @Prowerock1 @VoteLewko @Starlink I myself ended up with a Telstra 5G modem also. It just shows that NBN was not the way to go. Even back when they decided to go with NBN it was obvious it was dated technology and for Australia it has never delivered the service it needs.

    @SocialTubby @DaveTaylorNews As an aging Pro. Pretty much all of my clients in Longreach, Karratha or the Alice book me via Starlink. When I used to service the married Labor blokes in Marrickville, my Telstra mobile would be forever dropping out. Starlink is on an exponential trajectory.
