Telstra

Post by Cletus »

Upgraded my plan from 200GB to 500 GB two days ago. It was supposed to change over in 24hrs. Nothing happened so I called them, no record. Put the order through again and they gave me a 10 dollar per month discount. Wait 24 hrs. Nothing happened. Called them again and put the order through again and they gave me another 10 dollars off per month and a sim card with 500MB per month.. I'm now supposed to be getting 500GB per month at less than I'm currently paying for 200GB per month. That's if the order ever goes through of course.

Good old Telstretards.

I'm currently embroiled in the most ridiculous saga with Telstra over an internet accont.

I won't bore you with the details but it's been going for nearly 2 years now, they call me every two months, I explain to them the situation and then they promise me it's been taking care of.

It just goes on. And on. And on.

Don't believe -anything- they tell you.

I can't believe you get all that free stuff. Optus wouldn't have done that for me, in fact they'd do the opposite like increase my monthly bill $10 at a time.

HAHA!...he's so right. Flip, you've gotta get tough and threaten to leave and start quoting the competitor's deals whilst also calling in a bomb threat via a trustworthy friend with an untraceable net connection. You just wait and see how they respond after that!

The upside is if they keep fucking it up I might end up with a 1TB data cap at 50 dollars per month and a free mobile phone.

I dislike Telstra intensely but stay with them because, unfortunately, they have zero competition in regional areas for coverage. They called me up the other day to offer me 500 gig for an extra $10 a month (on the 200 gig plan now) but I think they just want me tied into another contract. For roughly $280 a month I get a 200 gig bundle which includes the T box with limited Foxtel, router, landline, two mobile phones, 500 meg data SIM card and an Advanced 4G wireless broadband hotspot with 8 gig of data. The hotspot is admittedly awesome but the rest is meh...Which I could swap over to Amaysim and be done with pTelstra plans

I too have no choice. I can stay with Telstra and ADSL2 or go standard ADSL with iinet.

Do love this Advance 4G hotspot. Getting download speeds through bittorrrent of 2Mbps. I hope Telstra raises caps in the near future - what's the point of having uber fast internet with tiny limits? Like driving a Ferrari with 5 litre fuel tank...

Can't wait to hear how Cletus' plan gets changed because some douche rang up and complained.

Yeah don't fucking mention any names...

Itch, I was paying $128 for 200GB. The 500GB plan is $145. I'm now paying $125 for 500GB.

If you're a new sign up account to Telstra you can get the same deal anyway.

Makes my $100pcm for 50gb with Telstra look like a regular anal probing while I sleep every night.

I can't get iinet or anyone other than Telstra in my area unless I want to downgrade to standard ADSL. I'd rather pay for the ADSL2+. I have absolutely no love for Telstra, simply a case of have to.
