Lucky for you, I've been through the wringer twice with them after moving house, whacked a $1400+ bill on me and it went pear shaped for 4 months trying to resolve it, 73 phone calls later and through the ombudsman we came to an agreement.

My last experience with Telstra was a nightmare. Back in 2009/10ish.

Moved into a new rental, wanted broadband. Called, was told the infastructure was all in place, and would be online in no longer than 48hrs. A few weeks went by, and nothing happened. Called them and they were very sorry and he said the work order wasn't submitted properly. No worries, $h!t happens, was told again I would be online in no more than 48hrs. Couple weeks went by, still nothing. Called and was again told the exact same thing, the order wasn't submitted properly, that was fixed and I was told I would be online in.... you guessed it, no more than 48hrs. I $h!t you not, this happened another 2 times. 5 months after my initial request, I was online.

5 effing months.

Had meeting with a "Telstra Business" guy this morning. He handed me his card, and quickly stuck his hand out to shake mine.

Halfway through the meeting I look closer at his card and then quizzed him on why it says Telefirm Pty Ltd in tiny writing at the bottom.

I already knew Telstra outsource their support, but the way he seemed to prefer not to mention it annoyed me. He also didn't say the name Telefirm at all, just Telstra, even when explaining what Telefirm was.

The meeting was for the purpose of fixing up something our previous GM got suckered into by these same sort of people, costing the company over $25,000, so my guard was right up.

After further research, they seem to be a bit dodge.

Yep, I insist on asking for their Telstra ID number.

Misrepresented changeover figures, bullshitted about expenses to fix our trade in when I'd had a previous quote for thousands of dollars less, offered nearly $3k less on our trade in compared to who we eventually went with, sold the car we were looking at (without informing us) between visits when we were still trying to negotiate with them. It was truly amazing, I was real shitty at the time but can laugh now. I've since spoken to others who went there first and encountered similar bullshit before buying elsewhere.

Interesting. Thought they were great when we came back with them from Europe in June.

I bought an FG XR6 from Adrian Brien Ford in 2011. The guys at the Ford dealership were great, but the car was taken to the Hyundai lot for a clean and that's where we did the paperwork.

The salesman was ok, but the guy writing up the paperwork was a f**kwit. I was paying outright, and needed to get a cheque to pay. He accused me multiple times of joyriding, and told the salesman I wouldn't be back, right in front of me.

I told him if I have to deal with that dickhead again, I won't be back. When I walked outside I could see the salesman tearing strips of the office guy through the window.

Came back the next day with the cheque, and pretty much told the office guy to go f**k himself as I handed it to him.

I see your point but as she was not feeling very well she said she'd rather throw up on me than a stranger.
