  With @Telstra being down there’s no EFTPOS at my local shops. Couldn’t get cash from any of the ATMs as they’re all down too. Managed to withdraw cash at the post office to pay for groceries. Thanks for still providing that service @auspost - we’re not going to be cashless yet.

  Is Telstra mobile really crap in the Mountains, or is it because I’m using a cheap reseller? I can rarely watch a 3m video without massive pauses, even with 2-3-4 bars of reception.

  @VGreg82063 @Telstra ****, if we're including the wheatbelt, I have no phone reception 3km from Kulin. But I thought scarborough would be a easy fix so I can watch netflix the next time I'm in the city.

  Twice this morning, you have bumped me off @telstra. What is your deal ?? Your service has disconnected over a dozen times in the last few days. I think I need to take you to the ACCC. I do not have the luxury of waiting 20 minutes each time your service goes down. seriously. We're going to have words today. This is RUBBISH. ALDI buying lines from you, and THAT is not going down at a 1/3 of the price you sting me for.

  @MarkoMatvikov Hahahha no not at all, I just wanted to pass along that during the swapping over process he said the exact same thing. For years with Telstra any kind of contact had been infuriatingly terrible for him, and he couldn't speak highly enough of the Aussie people walking him through everything and being patient

  @Telstra New NBN, wanted Foxtel, bought Fetch. But Fetch can’t get Foxtel, can’t cancel, no refund no return, throw the Fetch box in the bin, or they said “they would recycle it responsibly”. Now I want some real science, an energy balance not virtue signalling .

  @karlos_hagen @Telstra 5G network access. Download speeds are capped at 150Mbps on 4G and 5G - Unfortunately they don't get the same access as resellers, data is deprioritised

  @Telstra Telstra staff are erasing customer complaints causing profits to go down as customers go to the Ombudsman. REPORT TELSTRA AS THIS IS ILLEGAL.

  🇦🇺Australia: @Starlink To Benefit From Telstra’s Dodgy Size Claims Industry data indicates strong growth in Starlink uptake, with retailers reporting a surge in demand and the service’s customer base in Australia doubling in 2025. One in five rural households that switched providers last year chose Starlink, according to market estimates. The shift reflects growing frustration among regional consumers, some of whom say Starlink offers more reliable performance at a lower cost than traditional telco plans. Telstra will be forced to cut back its advertised network coverage by around 1 million square km's following a regulatory crackdown on what the federal government has described as a “mess” of inconsistent and potentially misleading industry claims. Under new rules announced by Communications Minister Anika Wells, telcos must adopt stricter standards for how mobile coverage is measured and marketed—changes that directly impact Telstra, long known for promoting the scale of its network. The revisions will require the removal of an area roughly the size of New South Wales from Telstra’s coverage maps, raising questions about how accurately Australians have been informed about service availability, particularly in regional and remote areas. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) will introduce a new four-tier system—Good, Moderate, Basic and No Coverage—based on whether a standard mobile phone can deliver a usable service, rather than simply detecting a signal.
