Gary Austin-Eames (@Gary_AE) reported from Gold Coast, Queensland@Telstra My wife was just speaking to one of your phone support people. Even though the whole street is out they insist on sending a technician to our house on Friday. She did the troubleshooting they requested which means we now no longer have a working home phone.Thanks.

David Geelan (@ProfBravus) reported from Gold Coast, QueenslandI’m quick enough to take @Telstra to task when there’s a problem, so I’ll be just as quick to give credit where it’s due. They texted me to say “No extra charge but we’re speeding up your cable internet”. And man, have they! 80-85 Mbps. Very happy, thank you!

Debi (@Debi98489370) reported from Gold Coast, Queensland@RandaltsRandal @Telstra Telstra are providing NO customer service currently. They say they are prioritising. Not sure how when they don't speak to their customers. A communication company that doesn't communicate- what a joke!!!
-
Simon Jackson (@Cowboy_2526) reported from Gold Coast, Queensland@StickelSam @Telstra Very poor by @Telstra now 7 days of no service, yet they will expect me to to pay my bill in full when it’s due, so so wrong of them
-
David Brown (@db0984) reported from Gold Coast, Queensland@Telstra Damage is already done. I’ve been on 24/7 chat via the app and telstra basically put the ownership back onto me when it was @Telstra’s error. So in our chat conversation we agreed to disagree and what should have been a credit back on onto my account turned to a tio complaint

Shona Drechsler 🐮🇦🇺🐴 (@ShonaDrechsler) reported from Gold Coast, Queensland@Telstra @Telstra_news WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH MOBILE COVERAGE on Broadbeach, QLD. For the last 48 hours the call connects but you cannot hear anything. FIX IT!! We are paying for your 💩 service!! 🤬
-
Gary Austin-Eames (@Gary_AE) reported from Gold Coast, Queensland@Telstra no one ever did get back to me on why the 4g and 5g service is so shite where I live. 3 towers within 2.5km and a dozen within 5km but I still need to use wi-fi calling to guarantee calls getting through. Makes the 4g backup on my nbn modem useless.

Kris Kitto (@Kris_Intello) reported from Tamborine Mountain, Queensland@ShelleyBanton @smsfchick @smartersmsf @Telstra @SMSFCoach @PeterBurgessAMP @lk_smith @HeffronMeg @FJMorelli @ASFAudits What Shelley said 👆👆👆 Typically going to be minor and incidental amounts, advise trustees to opt-out when discovered. Or treat as benefit payment if condition of release met. Pragmatic approach required IMO.

Brown Dirt Cowboy ✳️✳️✳️✳️💉🤠👀💧🐀 (@FlatEarthGang) reported from Gold Coast, Queensland@wheels002 @Telstra I’ve heard of this 💩 but to experience it has been exhausting. If I had lost it emotionally they would have blamed me after all they put me through with their lack of service and common decency. We are zero to them, except for the income. I’m quite disappointed & distressed. 😩

The Noisy Elephant (@TheNoisyTrunk) reported@adrian_couper "Telstra is a perfect example. The public owned it, public funds built it, and then the government sold it back to us as shares, what a ‘great deal’ for the people, right? In reality, the public purse lost a reliable income stream, and most everyday Australians (the ‘mum and dad’ investors) ended up on the losing end. Institutional investors and super funds snapped up the lion’s share, while retail investors often saw their holdings underperform or get diluted over time. The privatisation was framed as empowering the public, but the system was stacked in favour of the big players from the start. What John Howard did was sold the golden goose that lays eggs to pay down debt to make himself look good. Short-term.

Steph McG (@oohaah_67) reported@Telstra now it’s a joke hey! Hamlyn Terrace and surrounding areas without 5G for the last couple of days. If you can’t fix or find the fault how about deploying mobile towers. Not everyone has NBN connectivity.
-
MetOshi (@met_oshi) reported@RealMetroLounge @WindsorDebs You should take one look at what Telstra did to both the cellular network and our internet infrastructure. Telstra were still offering capped data when other companies had unlimited; Telstra denied uncapped data could exist

Jackson (@jacksondavis316) reported@talyasalem Valid haha. The Telstra whistling one when you're getting belted is the worst too
-
Ralph Mondel (@ralph_mondel) reported@Telstra ...Interesting business model that you have! Tried to change service for speed at a lower cost (online offers) only to be told that this is ONLY available to new customers. No solution offered, leaving me to seek another provider!!

Bryn Davies an OA dad (@tofar1) reported@Telstra The last 5 months. Mobile broadband doesnt work there. My son tried to ubereats some food and he couldn't use mobile broadband at all.

Muskonomy (@muskonomy) reportedNEWS: Telstra and TPG push Australian government for competitive spectrum auctions despite SpaceX warning Australian mobile carriers Telstra and TPG Telecom have urged the government to go ahead with open, competitive auctions for spectrum licences used for mobile and satellite mobile services, even after SpaceX warned it would withhold Starlink satellite mobile service in Australia if it isn’t given priority access to key wireless spectrum. SpaceX has made it clear that its satellite-to-mobile network (Starlink Direct to Cell) needs guaranteed access to Australia’s wireless airwaves to launch its full services — including voice and data for phones directly from satellites. But Telstra and TPG argue that giving one provider priority access risks limiting competition and could lock in high prices for consumers. A TPG spokesperson said competitive auctions are important because market concentration is a real risk if policy settings favour a single operator. They stressed Australia should encourage multiple satellite providers and business models, not entrench dominance by any one company, whether traditional mobile or satellite-based. Telstra and TPG’s stance comes amid broader debate about how Australia will manage spectrum — a critical resource that carries all mobile voice, text and data traffic. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has been consulting on future spectrum licences and how to allocate them fairly as older licences expire and new services are developed. Telstra itself has been active in satellite-mobile tech, testing and rolling out basic satellite messaging in Australia using SpaceX’s Direct to Cell system, but carriers say full commercial services must not be tied to exclusive spectrum access for one provider.

XCorpHub (@XCorpHub) reported🚨 Telstra, TPG telecom clash with Musk’s SpaceX over Starlink spectrum guarantee Australian telecom giants Telstra and TPG Telecom are urging the government to hold competitive auctions for satellite-mobile frequencies instead of granting SpaceX guaranteed priority access for Starlink’s Direct-to-Cell service. They warn that such guarantees risk market concentration and could lead to higher consumer prices. SpaceX has cautioned that without assured spectrum through a direct network licence it may withhold full deployment of the service in Australia. • Telstra and TPG stress the need for multiple satellite providers and diverse commercial models to promote genuine competition. • The outcome will influence connectivity expansion across remote and regional Australia where traditional networks fall short.

The Metal Dragon 🐉 (@MetalDragonHQ) reportedI am going to be sharing tips and tricks to help people save money on subscriptions and telecommunications. First piece of advice is stay away from @Telstra as they are well over priced and they will lie to you to gain your business. I have proof. #MoneyManagement

Far Canal 😏 (@FarCanall) reportedReally unsure, but I’ve seen the same sort of buffoons rise to the top at Aust Post, Telstra, etc. The phrase “**** floats to the Top” is pretty common in Govt Industies. Good thing is, once they get there, their incompetence is exposed for all to see. Nowhere to hide.
