		<description>Hi,

After being assigned multiple case managers that have over the past 3 months claimed to have corrected my billing situation, this morning i received another bill notification saying my bill is now past $8000. 

I made online complaints over the past month, only to have nobody call me, and in fact, I&#039;ve had to follow up twice myself to have someone talk to me.

The situaion is quite basic. And for the life of me, I&#039;m tired of re-explaining the situation to 100&#039;s of Telstra staff who then go onto say it&#039;s really an easy situation to have rectified. Clearly it isn&#039;t.

I ordered my new Blackberry in early November 2011. I was told the phone would be delivered the following week to an address I nominated. After this time passed, I contacted Telstra to find out what was happening, after being told it was being delivered that day, then the next day, then there is no stock, and I can&#039;t give you a delivery date, to then all of a sudden the phone was delivered, I wasn&#039;t there to accept the delivery, so the phone was returned to your depot. In order to send me a new phone, they cancelled that phone contract, and as a result, I have been charge over for an entire contract cancellation fee. 

At the same time this was all happening, I requested for my bigpond account to have its download limit increased, never happened until I chased it. Then allegedly it was increased and I started a new contract, only to try and use this at the time, and the internet was slower than dial up. So I rang up to cancel this new contract I had allegedly started, only to find out there was new contact at all.

Back on the subject of my mobile contract, I expressed that the $99 per month was not sufficient in relation to my needs - re call amounts, and that my last contract had a much larger call amount that I was using entirely. Because the majority of my time has been taken up by having my bill credited, I&#039;ve left the remaining items until I can have the bill sorted.

According to a telstra represenative earlier this week, my billing situation should be rectified, and reflected over the next couple billing cycles. This would be fine, except I&#039;ve noticed my bill has no exceeded $8k which makes me think extra charges have been further incurred.

I am passed discussing this with every Telstra staff member I talk to. I&#039;m passed waiting for a Case Manager to ring me. If this situation isn&#039;t rectified immediately, I will be bundling up all my notes, reference numbers, bills and forwarding these to the TIO, and also to my friend Justin Armsden who is a reported at ACA. I have given ample time for the matter to be rectified, and I have been most patient.

Looking forward to your response.</description>

		<description>I recently went into Telstra at the Booragoon branch to enquire about our contract as it was coming up to expiring and we were concerned about  the huge bills we were receiving.
After the usual bunfight to get someone to pay attention i got sent to a team member called \brad\, after voicing my concernes about our current contract we hammered out a new deal and new mobiles for my husband and I.
As we were finishing up he said \oh and since you are signing up for bundle you can have either a tbox or thub for free! the tbox you pay nothing for and the thub it $35 upfront.
I was initially suspicious and asked him repeatedly if I really paid nothing for the tbox, the answer every time was \YES\.
I came back to pick up my products and asked again \are you sure its free\ again i was told yes and he even laughed when i asked what the hidden snags were as i looked at my contract and told me \truly you pay nothing\
Great took the tbox home plugged it it as wasn&#039;t impressed at all, it was slow, the channels dropped out all the time and i was just a pain to deal with, but we  weren&#039;t too stressed as we were not paying for it.
Lo and behold yesterday I got a letter informing me of how MUCH I AM PAYING FOR THE TBOX!!!
we rang telstra and were told yes we were paying for it.
It appeared the customer service operator was not surprised when my husband angrily informed him of what i was told.
Supposedly a post bag will be sent to us to send the tbox back.
I am utterly discussted and furious that you encourage your staff to blatantly lie to peoples faces just so you can shift product, albeit a incredibly crappy product.
Not nice at all, the fair trade and consumer affairs groups will be hearing about this.</description>

		<description>I wish they would get that idiotic movie Sub Division out of the new releases in Big Pond Movies. It has been out for months. Do they ever bother checking these things? The whole setup is completely hopeless and amateurish. Avoid the Tbox like the plague if you have any sense. It is a piece of rubbish</description>

		<description>Ahem. The T-Hub doesn&#039;t deliver Foxtel.  That&#039;s be the T-Box.

I have both, and they both work.

I know people have had problems, but I also know  about a dozen people now who have one or the other devices, and guess what, for some reason, only one has had a problem, and the T-Hub was replaced within a week, and since then, no issues.  Oh, yeah, my T-hub needed replacing because the battery died. Also doen within a week, and no problems on the new one. Both handsets continue to work.

Remote on T-Box died after 8 months or so. New one delivered 3 days later. No problems since.  I&#039;m now about 14 months into the contract.</description>

		<description>Hello,

Thank you Telstra! I got it today! :D So happy!

Now for the complicated part, getting my non-geeky fiancée to agree! But still I love the phone and look forward to enjoying my Ice Cream Sandwich!

The only drawback is that because I&#039;m at work I can&#039;t play with it now, hurry up 5.30pm! lol :)

BIG shout to Dan and the team, awesome competition. You were all amazing :)</description>
