  Couldn't help misreading that @Telstra ad painted on the ground as "Australia is Why..T". Like when your eyes go the wrong way on a comic. Unfortunate visual oops. #NRLGF

  @Teltsra @Telstra I’ve been put on hold seven separate times by seven different departments. Each time I’ve had to start from scratch and explain what’s happening over and over again. The customer service, and the language problems is absolutely abysmal.

  Pickles (@Piiiiickles) reported 7 minutes ago from Melbourne, Victoria

  @Telstra I have mobile data… but it’s not enough to do what we can normally do. We rely on consistent service to be able to work at home. We had no warning. We are paying for both mobile and home internet, yet getting less than half the service. Outage map comes up negative for our area.

  Oh the @Telstra saga continues. So, Telstra won’t issue me a refund themselves. Oh no. I have to go through BPAY and my bank to request the refund. You guys are a piece of work. You have my money but someone else has to refund me. Absolute joke.

  @NBN_Australia @Telstra what does one have to do to get something fixed? 6 weeks of back and forth and nobody can sort the problem. Surely this can't be too hard.

  @RoryBurnside I’m with @Telstra with the home phone, they gave me a call guardian home phone, when set up, it forces spam calls to announce themselves, call centre workers never do, they just hang up. Haven’t had a single scam call in months

  @Telstra 3101 - just noticed it half an hour ago when I went to pay for something … no one else in the house is having any issues though

  4G backup is a joke. 0.16 Mbps down and 0.55 Mbps up. HFC is a joke. Don't tell me infrastructure is failing during summer because it's 27C and 20-30 year old equipment is dying. 💀 Paying a premium for this. 😬 @Telstra

  @TMFScottP @Telstra @NBN_Australia Agreed. My provider offered broadband back as of all the problems in the area. I'm sure others had the same offer. I'm also sure it will improve one day. However school work needs to be done.

  Telstra 4G backup speed is 0.16 Mbps (down) in the Smart Modem. 💀 6.32 Mbps (down) when I use a SIM card from another telco in the modem. 🧐 Smart Modem with 4G backup is so slowwwww 🐌 @Telstra

  Did you know: If you’re with @Telstra and you have multiple mobile phones in your household, with contracts signed on different dates, you get direct debited for each service on different days? It’s confusing, inconvenient and dumb, and Telstra don’t care.

  BREAKING NEWS: @PRGuy17 is a Telstra customer. More news at 6.

  Huh. 13 years on Twitter. I only joined up to test a Telstra Mobile service that joined your social networks together ... and you could tweet by sending SMS to a Telstra Mobile short code. Crazy days.

  @cameronwilson Also v handy for checking “does X network actually provide service where I’m at /. Work or live?” Without having to sign a contract or >1 month typically. Where I’m at in aus Telstra and Vodafone seem to be the best combo, Optus just does NOT work. At all, YMMV etc

  @grant_phelps @Telstra Go to @Aussie_BB as best thing I ever did was to get away from Telstra as such shocking customer service

  Hey @telstra and @aamipark can u guys put your heads together and sort out reception load issues during events here? Optus and Vodafone seem fine. Telstra not so.

  Received a phishing call allegedly from @Telstra - a little more clever than usual - they offered a 40% discount on my bill for 12mths & when I said "sure,apply the discount" they said they just needed some"verification": name&DoB. Never give these details to unverified callers.

  @NBN_Australia @Telstra Ended up being a <12 hour outage instead of 4 days. 🥳

  James Hutcheon (@hutcho66) reported 58 minutes ago from Melbourne, Victoria

  @taipan168 And Telstra only faces minimum service guarantees in a very small component of the business where they continue to hold assets that used to be owned by the government. That's shrinking over time as the NBN buys out the copper.

  @ProjVictoria @OMGTheMess Correct not all pay dividends .. usually those that do don’t grow much, take Telstra who pay dividends 2000 a share was $8 or so, 2025 it was about $4 a share. The poor who buy small amounts of metals, crypto or stocks are going to be stomped into the ground.. theft.. taking away peoples only hope of using that vehicle to home ownership.

  The Trend Trader (@SixG369) reported 6 minutes ago

  AI helped me save $270 a year tonight. Not by doing anything fancy. It just helped me survive the telco maze. The Optus bill started at $251.30/month. After a long support chat, it dropped to $228.80/month. That is $22.50/month saved. $270/year. The real win was not the discount. The real win was AI helping me: - Ask better questions - Check the maths - Avoid payout traps - Push past the first “best offer” - Get the final number confirmed in writing They first offered a small plan downgrade. Then we asked about loyalty. Then retention. Then the numbers did not add up. AI spotted the issue. One plan change had not actually been processed. So, we pushed again. Final result: Old bill: $251.30/month New bill: $228.80/month Yearly saving: $270 AI did not magically save me money. It just stopped me from giving up while the telco maze tried to win. Next target: Telstra internet.

  Mike Carlton (@MikeCarlton01) reported 15 minutes ago

  And they’re all the same. It’s almost a rule that the bigger they are the worse they are. Telstra, Optus, Qantas, the big banks, Coles, Woolworths. All run by wildly overpaid ‘chief executives’ who would rather wrestle crocodiles than actually encounter a customer. **** ‘em all.

  @mynameiskiiiid @TheKouk Structural deficit? Mate, let's get this straight.Australia's structural budget issues blew out post-GFC and especially under recent big-spending governments — not from Howard paying down $96b in inherited debt while running surpluses. Howard left the budget in strong shape with low debt and a Future Fund seeded. Today's deficits (still projected around 1% of GDP with net debt heading to ~20%+) come from exploding recurrent spending: NDIS, aged care, welfare, and public sector bloat — not a lack of 'productivity policy' from the 90s/00s. Howard-era asset sales (Telstra etc.) shifted assets to private hands where they often delivered better efficiency and innovation — exactly what boosts productivity. Privatisation and microeconomic reforms in the 80s-90s drove Australia's strong productivity surge in the late 90s/early 00s. Blaming today's slump on "record low infrastructure spending" 25-30 years ago is the real stretch. Recent productivity stagnation (labour productivity near flat since ~2016-17, weakest in decades) has clear modern drivers:Services shift — healthcare, education, public admin (non-market sectors) now dominate and have abysmal productivity growth. Faster broadband, transport, and training matter — but governments have poured billions into infrastructure since then (and states still do). The constraint isn't some 1990s "under-spend"; it's getting value for money, avoiding waste, and prioritising high-return projects over recurrent blowouts. Private sector dynamism, competition, and sensible tax settings deliver productivity far more reliably than more government "facilitation" funded by structural deficits. You know what actually restricts productivity policy? Promising endless spending while ignoring incentives, efficiency, and evidence. Structural deficits today crowd out future options through higher interest and taxes — not the other way around." This keeps it punchy, factual, and directly dismantles the causal link while flipping the deficit argument.

Refused to escalate "Deprovisioning" of SIM cards unable to make calls to transmit data, demanding "samples" of calls to/from +1-408 by IBM and PARC from Military Classified numbers for over 10 years. Refused to comply with Data Sovereignty rules and to respect the classified nature of the "samples" they were requesting and I refused to provide till I am talking to a suitably qualified person or engineer calling from within Australia. Refused to comply with "Do not talk to computer scientists over insecure channels" rule. They then said "will not escalate till I provide samples", I explained "deprovisioned" is more than enough to escalate and samples to that end have been provided. Call put on mute, stayed silent for 5 mins then other end terminated call. AP
