Telstra? Yeah, they're about as consumer unfriendly as it's possible to be. I went out of my way to avoid paying them any money a few years ago, including moving my workplace (>10 branches around Australia) off Telstra comms infrastructure and onto a competitors whilst also saving about 30% per year.

- BLKNSLVR 6y agoHaving to convince older, management types to roll the incumbent provider. 30% savings helped, but they were still quite nervous for the integrity of the new network. Had to do a fair bit of convincing and putting my neck on the line. Just thinking about it (it was 10+ years ago), it would have been much easier to just sign contract extension with Telstra, no management involvement, no additional research, no putting my reputation in danger. That's what Telstra relies on.
