Telstra Speed Test
As a bit of a follow up to my ongoing drama with Australia’s premium mobile communications provider, Telstra, I’ve done a couple of tests.
I’d said that we’d moved from another carrier to Telstra to fix the issues that we’d had with poor coverage – but alas the issues have continued – only this time we’re paying a premium for it. At this point I may be acting like a dog with a bone but the solutions offered have been both less than appealing as well as seriously insulting.
We’ve been told to either cancel our services for the grand sum of $965 dollars or buy new blue tick (rural) mobiles. The latter option comes with the caveat of “this should fix your issues”. Now we hardly live in suburbia and the choice of mobile replacements is hardly electrifying.
In a nutshell Telstra wants us to gamble with our money to fix the premium service we pay for, but at the end of the day we signed up with the phones we have and they were happy to take our “premium” priced dollars.
So now I’ve done a little speed test to show what we’re paying for:
Not too snappy hey! Anyhoo, I wait with baited breath for a solution to our issues.
