  @Starlink I can see the tower from my front door. I'm less than 5km from a major centre that rivals our capitol city CBD. Telstra reprioritised the tower equipment to service a wealthy nearby suburb, meaning my entire area gets no service at all. Like, zero bars. And they don't care.

  @Telstra Telstra Doncaster failed and refused to help, I'll be lodging a complaint with the ombudsman in due course, duly note the outcome, you lost two decades long people to Optus, who were terrific in help.

  @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.

  @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.

  @Telstra Yes, my ps5 is in a different room to where the modem for internet is. Plus on some apps on my phone it says connection unstable. Never had this problem till now. Do someone need to out and look at the connection or do need to another modem for the rest of the house.

  @Kitorialt Then when you cancel, get all early termination fees wiped. This is something covered under by @acccgovau and the TIO. This coming from an ex Telstra employee.

  Working in regional NSW today and only @Telstra users could make calls. Optus: no signal. Vodafone: non‑existent. 2026 and we still don’t have a shared rural network? When one telco holds all the coverage, it’s not a choice - it’s a monopoly. #WakeUpAustralia #NannyStateNSW
