Australia's most shared trauma.

They crossed the line with my mum and I'm not having it.

They are unAustralian.

They installed a tower 50m from my house despite our community's protests. When I complained about health concerns, they sent me a pamphlet and ghosted me.

Contract clearly stated no equipment on the north side of the property. Guess where they put it? And then claimed it was 'industry standard practice'.

Chemical overspray killed my vegetable garden. Telstra offered $200 'goodwill' payment for thousands in damages. Disgraceful.

Six months of dropped calls. Dozens of service tickets. Zero resolution. But my bill arrives perfectly on time every month.

They promised in writing the equipment would be 'visually unobtrusive'. Now I have a 15m tower blocking my ocean view. Property value dropped $100K.

Signed up for NBN with guaranteed speeds. Getting less than 1/3 of what I pay for. Their solution? 'Try moving your router'.

Tower was installed without proper cultural consultation on land with Aboriginal significance. Telstra's response: 'We followed the process'.

You did everything wrong. Good thing I checked the document for review which you told me that I didn't need to do. All the details are wrong. I've tried to resolve this over the course of the last two days online and when that didn't work, came into store. Seems that's been made a mess of as well. I have all the receipts so I'll just take it to Fair Trading because I can't get a response or resolution from Telstra in spite of my time and efforts

I phoned this Telstra "business" hub at 9.01am to try to get first in the queue. Was on hold for over 90 minutes and finally ran out of patience and hung up. No "leave your number and we’ll call you back" option like most customer oriented organisations. If this is how they treat their business customers, heaven help the ordinary Joe in the street. So typical of our oligopolistic telco regime. Time to break Telstra up like they did in the USA with AT and T in 1984! Competition leads to higher customer service levels. Thanks Brandon for responding so quickly. Much appreciated. I'll take you up on that, but please be aware that before I tried to call Telstras NS Business hub, I visited your Chatswood store (after leaving two unanswered phone messages with them) only to be told that as I had a "business" account they couldn't help me an I would have to go to North Syd Business Hub. More wasted time. Suggest that you brand your stores either "business'" or "private" to save others being inconvenienced as well.

Telstra is backwards. You get insurance on phones to ensure they are covered from theft. However Telstra is the other way. They say yes but end up not giving replacement phones. I've been fighting them through The Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman for months. Telstra sucks.

I recently had a rather unsatisfactory experience at the Telstra store in Craigieburn, which I feel is important to bring to light. After deciding to cancel my services with Optus, I was prepared to transfer all my business to Telstra. Upon entering the store, I found it empty and began examining some phones. Despite being the only customer present initially, the staff chose to serve another couple who arrived after me. One employee acknowledged this oversight but merely asked me to wait five minutes. After a brief interaction, I was then informed that I would need to wait an additional 15 minutes. To the store owner, it is imperative to address the evident lack of professionalism and communication skills among your staff, which are crucial for effective store management. This experience reflects a significant shortfall in service quality and ultimately points to a failure in leadership. Regrettably, I have chosen to take my business elsewhere. For potential customers, I urge you to consider the service standards at this location before making a visit.

Similar experience to others today visiting the store. Was accused and belittled, largely due to team members lack of communication amongst themselves resulting in a very negative interaction with our family.

Telstra has Telstra policy. They train exactly the same as other Telstra shops in all over Australia. Unfriendly staff. Unhelp staff. Because they have been train to be that way all in Australia. They are just in the shop to sell you to get money from not to help. They all ask you to call India centre.

I phoned this Telstra "business" hub at 9.01am to try to get first in the queue. Was on hold for over 90 minutes and finally ran out of patience and hung up. No "leave your number and we’ll call you back" option like most customer oriented organisations. If this is how they treat their business customers, heaven help the ordinary Joe in the street. So typical of our oligopolistic telco regime. Time to break Telstra up like they did in the USA with AT and T in 1984! Competition leads to higher customer service levels. Thanks Brandon for responding so quickly. Much appreciated. I'll take you up on that, but please be aware that before I tried to call Telstras NS Business hub, I visited your Chatswood store (after leaving two unanswered phone messages with them) only to be told that as I had a "business" account they couldn't help me an I would have to go to North Syd Business Hub. More wasted time. Suggest that you brand your stores either "business'" or "private" to save others being inconvenienced as well.

I recently had a rather unsatisfactory experience at the Telstra store in Craigieburn, which I feel is important to bring to light. After deciding to cancel my services with Optus, I was prepared to transfer all my business to Telstra. Upon entering the store, I found it empty and began examining some phones. Despite being the only customer present initially, the staff chose to serve another couple who arrived after me. One employee acknowledged this oversight but merely asked me to wait five minutes. After a brief interaction, I was then informed that I would need to wait an additional 15 minutes. To the store owner, it is imperative to address the evident lack of professionalism and communication skills among your staff, which are crucial for effective store management. This experience reflects a significant shortfall in service quality and ultimately points to a failure in leadership. Regrettably, I have chosen to take my business elsewhere. For potential customers, I urge you to consider the service standards at this location before making a visit.

So bad, the time on the store saying closing time is 6pm on Saturday, we tried our best to get to the store at 5.30pm and they told us they close with a cross hand gesture. If the store closes at 5.30pm then put up the closing time at 5.30pm and do not waste other people time.

The Story

It started with a lease — simple, clear, and signed.

Telstra broke it anyway.

This isn't an accident. It's how they operate.

This Isn't Just One Tower

This case is real — and documented — but it's also a warning.

What's stopping them from doing it to you?

Documented Evidence

We've got the paperwork. They broke the rules — and we can prove it.

Community Impact

It's not just happening here — it's happening everywhere.

Public Campaign

From social media to national media — we're getting loud.

Legal Action

If no one holds Telstra accountable, who will?

The Facts

The Contract

No towers. No chemicals. All clearly written.

Telstra signed it. Telstra broke it.

The Damage

Chemical spraying. Environmental damage. Health concerns.

Six years of being ignored and gaslit.

The Cost

Over $445,000 in damages.

The price of being treated like you don't matter.

Take Action

If Telstra has ever wasted your time or ignored your rights — this campaign is for you.

Speak up. Show up. Share the truth.
