Telstra are pretty bad, they pretend to be our "friends" and doing stuff for the country, but look how far behind we are broadband network wise due to the fact they never really got off their butts and did anything.

Yeah, another vote for Telstra here. Useless, greedy and tell one lie after another.
Actually, that could describe most politicians to :P |

Transfield - One minute they are telling the blokes of all the upcoming work, then they close the workshop down and aution the gear (including 121 welding machines as well as the rest).
Telstra - just dont give a .

Telstra suck bad in the frontline department, i wouldnt say their management is particularly bad. If they dont want to roll out a new network then who can blame them. Optus' investment was considered a debacle. A multibillion investment with questionable returns is obviously not going to be put forward at the demands of the government... |

I love to see all the Telstra bashing because all the others are SOOOOO good.
I do not live in a capital city and want 3G mobile coverage; OPTUS/no, Voda/no, 3/no, Telstra/yes I do not live in a capital city and want 2G mobile coverage; OPTUS/almost, Voda/yeh right, 3/who?, Telstra/yes I do not live in a capital city and want ADSL; Everyone except telstra/resold telstra wholesale, TID/Bigpuddle, yes I do not live in a capital city and want ADSL2+; Widelinx (local boutique ISP)/yes, everyone else except telstra/no, TID/Bigpuddle, yes I do not live in a capital city and want to make a complaint to a local person in a local office who can and will actually help me (not a franchaised shop with a 17 year old kid trying to sell me extra text messages) about my communications problems; OPTUS/no, Voda/no, 3/no, Telstra, yes I live in Hervey Bay, a regional city with a strong tourism based economy and one of the fastest growing areas in Australia. I have ADSL2+ @ 14Mb/s, HSDPA @ 4Mb/s and extensive 3G mobile voice/video covereage. There is no way I could have this other than on Telstra, everyone else refuses to offer these services. As far as I am concerned Telstra is GREAT. |

I'd have to say Telstra as they pretend to be Aussie but us over.
They fired everyone who works in our town and now spend billions on farking commercials. The Governments fault for selling it, tell me why again we sold a company that employed tens of thousands and turned a muti billion dollar profit???????? |

When Telstra was privatised they should have split the company - lines and infrastructure - which should have remained government owned, and the actual telecommunications company. www.tellthetruthtelstra.com for more reading. |

I would say telstra, but i get my mobile, internet and paytv from them lol. Bit on the exxy side but truth be told, everything works flawlessly and always has. Cant say i dont get what i pay for. Id prob nominate Macquarie bank... one of the greatest happenings in the market this yr was when those elitist pricks were shown that they cant just walk in and buy an airline... when everyone is opposed to it... three thumbs up to the qantas shareholders!
