Gavin McDougall | 麥格文 (@getgavin) reported from Darwin, Northern Territory@Telstra Hi Jo. John at Telstra mobile told me this is not true. Said I need to change my plan and pay $33 more to actually make the $5 add on for my watch. So again, back to my original point. So much for "premium" service. Ah well.

Malarndirri McCarthy (@Malarndirri19) reported from Darwin, Northern TerritoryIt is alarming to hear families in Maningrida are going hungry and cannot buy food with their Basics Card due to internet outage. @Telstra & the Federal Government must fix this as it happens far too often in remote communities, esp at #christmas. #auspol @abcdarwin @TheNTNews

Ruby Tombstone (@RubyTombstone) reported from Darwin, Northern Territory@Telstra No, too scared. Had SO many issues with outgoing mail server when they were 1st set up. I’m between contracts &need those emails running urgently for job interview correspondence. I don’t want to take any risks. The accounts are paid for & organised by my ex. It’s complicated.

Ruby Tombstone (@RubyTombstone) reported from Darwin, Northern Territory@Telstra It is back up now, however Telstra has changed my Wifi Network name & password back to their defaults without telling me. I have all my devices back online EXCEPT the most important. My email accounts won’t reconnect.

Andrew Bourne (@A2Bourne) reported from Darwin, Northern Territory@Telstra I ended up getting there through the online chat - not before I was transferred to a ‘saves’ team tho. It’s not the fact I can call... my issue is that I can do everything else I want online but you make it hard to cancel my contract. I know why, but it’s not a great XP.
-
Ruby Tombstone (@RubyTombstone) reported from Darwin, Northern Territory@Telstra I’m particularly frustrated since I’ve just finalised a year long complaint with the TIO and Telstra is having to refund almost $900 because of the crap service. I thought it was finally over.

-
Charles Harvey (@CJHarvey56) reportedWhat else has been privatised for far greater cost and far lower service outcomes? The CES first and foremost, use of consultants instead of Public Service, Telstra, Australia Post, Aged Care, Hospitals, all of them where public service should be just that.
-
|| Z A C || (@Lil_Caldwell) reportedThis is something I agree with. @Telstra your “lock in contracts” are the worst…you’re on notice.

-
jagjetfly 🐎🐎 (@jagjetfly) reported@Mr_Fanta_Pants @Telstra Why did she switch? Aren’t Southern under Telstra, the problems would be the same. With all the issues I had with them at work and home I dumped them 34 years ago. They still think they’re a monopoly.
-
Tyler Williams (@T__Williams23) reportedTelstra is making me want to gouge my eyes out, two races, including one I was l leading, today on iRacing I and a bunch of people have dropped out because apparently they can't have a working service in 2026. Fix your **** ******* service holy.
-
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.

Brian Basson (@BassonBrain) reported🇦🇺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.
