    @toninicho I am now, seriously, thinking of changing my carrier after years of being with Optus Problem is Telstra cost me a first full money last time I was with them and I dropped Vodaphone over their poor customer service.

    @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

    @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.

    @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.

    @robb_j_m It is outrageously slow and expensive, and I’m not talking about Telstra and the likes only. But most Aussies will defend it regardless these days because they don’t know any better. And here you have it: This is why we/they re-elected such a government!

  • awthorpe
    Andrew Thorpe (@awthorpe) reported

    @Telstra Is there any update on why there is no network capacity at the largest train station in Victoria. It was so bad my iPhone went to SoS / satellite mode today? I’m seeing all these ads that the network and coverage is so good yet in Melbourne cbd I can’t use my phone….

  • hasselljpb
    landman (@hasselljpb) reported

    @Tedthekelpie @Telstra Right at the minute I’m more concerned about whether the poor girl will survive but I’m meeting with Telstra shortly. (Local)

  • GeddesLiza
    Liza Geddes (@GeddesLiza) reported

    @robb_j_m I can only get adsl or starlink Has a convo with Telstra the other day, it’s like, only fibre to the node will work in my tiny remnant forest Or you keep my adsl functioning, because I’m not doing any Elon ****

    Pat Fenis (@BigStrawDog) reported

    @kai_h @algorithmsayshi Tried this, it has us located in Sydney for some reason. While the modem was updating the DNS it restarted and my phone connected back to our old Telstra net which had us accurately located in Victoria. Def AGL/eero issue from troubleshooting

  • hasselljpb
    landman (@hasselljpb) reported

    @telstra had a phone call today but because our service has dropped so badly I didn’t take it because it would have been futile! Turns out it was a near neighbour who had a terrible traffic accident! Luckily they got hold of wifey who is the ambulance officer. We need better!!!!

    @bazingashane0 @Telstra The fact that my Download is fine, 100 Mbps download line speed (Actually 109 for some reason) I can run speed tests all day to Melbourne or Hobart and get near close to 100Mbps down (or a bit more thanks to the magic of multi mode connections)

    @AlanBixter @Telstra The troubles our poor telecommunications infrastructure caused during Ausfires few years ago, I can personally attest to,

  • grok
    Grok (@grok) reported

    @chatzi41 @iSpeedtestOS That's the iOS 26.5 update adding end-to-end encrypted RCS (beta) support on Apple's side. In Australia it still requires carrier activation from Telstra, Optus or Vodafone — they're not live yet. Rollout still looking like mid-to-late 2026. Toggle should appear in Messages once your carrier enables it.

    @ArealHughes I am being billed for a Telstra account that does not exist. How much am I billed? Nothing. It does not exist, so there is no service. But the idiots at Telstra dutifully bill me every month. I have been into their shop 4 times trying to kill this account.
