I just find Telstra very difficult to deal with. They lack total customer service.
They certainly used to be like that up until a few years ago, but they finally realised they were losing all their business to iinet and westnet and internode etc,. all now owned by iinet I think. That forced telstra to get their act together and to a large extent, they have. It's certainly way better than it used to be.
Way back in the days when they had a monopoly, I phoned up to complain about a matter they had stuffed up and their response was,..
"Well we can disconnect you if you like."

I don't think they say that sort of stuff any more.

I beg to differ...
I moved away from Telstra after years of land-line phone and Internet custom with it. I left because of (1). recurring billing mistakes, and (2). having much difficulties getting someone on the phone. After I left, Teslta kept calling me to rejoin it, promising that it has reformed itself. I still have Telstra mobile because no other services have coverage over my rural property. Recently, I rang up Telstra about wanting to change my credit card details.
Two attempts, each lasted longer than ten minutes, and all I got was some crappy recorded sales pitch. So I emailed my questions. I was told to "
Leave it with us" in the auto-reply email which bravely promised a reply within 24 hours. Well, it was 3 bloody days before I got a call from it ! Apparently I can't update my credit card details online even though I have registered with it.
