After 5 phone calls and a total of 7 hrs listening to their on hold music over 2 days. I would never recommend there services to anyone. Problem still not solved and only to be meet with I will call you back on Monday morning after lodging my instal problem at 2 pm on Friday 4 hrs on the phone on Saturday with no out come. But they are still happy to take my money with no services provided. Over serval email to help them no help to us bad form TPG
TPG just focus on selling their products. Once trapped with a product, too hard to get it cancelled. No one to answer cancellation calls. Wasting 2 hours on the phone and just could not get it done! Awful system!
Oh my gosh, it's the worst customer service I've ever experienced in my life. I became a client of TPG, paid money and never had internet connection! I've been calling them every day for one week and all they have been telling me is that: oh okay, we are sorry about that, we will transfer you to someone else. And then I've been oh hold for 3 hours and then someone just simply hangs up on me or the freaking process starts over again! And I've been taking time off from work, had to drive back home for a few times per day and it was for about one week jesus christ! Had to do troubleshooting so many times over the phone and nothing. I request a technician to come over to my place and quickly fix it but nope. And oh my gosh nothing bloody has been fixed, only promises have been given and just keeping me on hold or transferring back and forth. I've never ever in my life left a bad review but here it is. If you would like to stay calm please never become a client of this company, it's just so ridiculous.
If I could give no star, I would.
If you want to keep your sanity, and wanting save your mental health, money, time, do yourself a huge favor and never get involved with TPG. I have no more mental capacity to write it all here, but enough to say, I am waiting for a modem, a modem, a modem (right?) since 8th of October. Today is the 28th and I'm still waiting-and I will have to wait more of course. So stay tuned until I receive this modem.
I have been with TPG for a long time, over 12 years, latterly nbn. I have had no problem with its customer service or speeds. Recently I converted to a data limited account, 100 gig, 50/50 off/on peak as I am only one person using it. I wondered how my data usage was going two weeks in. I couldn't log in to my account, even though I had logged in to change my account. So I rang tech support who told me to give all sorts of private information by email to *******@tpgtelecom.com, unencrypted of course. This crowd even wanted me to send a copy of my drivers licence with me holding it! Well I refused of course, and said all I want to know was what my on peak/off peak usage was. 33gig apparently, with zero off peak. This didn't sound at all right having visions of running out quickly and being throttled to zero and having to buy data. Also I did most of my streaming off peak. So I finally had access to usage details on my account, don't know how, and found nothing was being logged off peak, all put on peak, even though I turned off my modem during on peak hours and used mobile data instead. Rang and complained. Was told I must have been hacked. I said, er no, modem switched off. Fix this or I go to the ombudsman as this is fraud. I found others had had same problem 4 years ago on TPG community. Looks like they have fixed it but I am still checking frequently.
Even not deserve one star. I am long time customer of Tpg and last 6 months I am getting every day heaps of telemarketing phone call, I requested to change my phone number and I want to keep same plans but they told we can not change your number but you can buy another SIM card we do not provide any more this plan, it's shame, no respect for customers, I do not recommend Tpg
We moved into our new home and called TPG for our internet connection. They sent the modem and said were ready to get connected online. Tried every port in the house, every terminal on the model but NO INTERNET. Contacted them and they said from their end I should have internet and made me waste several hours with unnecessary troubleshooting. Finally they booked in a technician to come down and check the lines. Took 2 weeks but finally had my internet back up and running. What happened next though was completely absurd. My connections were disconnected out of the blue. Contacted TPG on why they cut the connection and it was because of my last conversation with them, I told them when the internet wasn't connected that if they cannot send a technician out to fix my internet issue, for them to cancel it. They send the technician as mentioned before, he fixes it, then they cancel it. How stupid can a company be. Waited 3 weeks for re connection and the same thing happened. Internet is showing from their end, my end i have nothing. Went through the whole process again, arguing with the customer support, troubleshooting, double charges, getting a technician out, getting internet. Such a complete waste of time this was.
I have ordered SIM cards and activated when arrived in Perth, still can not use 3 days after activation. Call forwarding active message comes, no balance for international phone although international calling added to plan. Customer support contacted almost 30 times, get some one can not fix, call drops off, Dial once again, repeat same story to another customer associate, no body knows exactly how to identify and fix the problem. Staff is never efficient and now will try to get full refund of services. This is totally unacceptable and TPG need to shutdown the shop if they can not provide good service, What a shame? I will never recommend any one to use TPG in Perth. I will ask for full refund now
I agree with everyone here who could not get issues resolved, and have also been constantly lied to by TPG about escalating refunds without actually receiving the refund, four times so far and counting. It's their business model to obfuscate. I've had to escalate to the ombudsman so let's see how that goes. This has been the most frustrating experience ever.
This is the worst $#*!ing company ever I wouldn't recommend to anyone, not ever they're $#*!up, poor poor poor customer service, and whenever you call them you ofto wait 2 straight hours for them to answer, now they start to cut your call, they're a rip off, maybe scammers, holding on to your funds, over 2 months and I can't receive my tax return that IRS sent to them to process, I call over and over and when I do get someone they sent me this form to fill out saying it will take 2-3 days to process and 7-10 days until I get the funds, that's since the may 10th, and now it's June 8th, and it was sent to them from sometime in March, and I still can't get my money from these $#*!ing scammers, stop using them folks, I never did, I don't know how the irs just send my funds to these thief...
After speaking to a culmination of 39 TPG customer service personnel, endless disconnects and being routed to the wrong department after being placed on hold for, 10 minutes then 20 minutes then 44 minutes, "Oh sorry sir and thank you for your patience" after being subjected to their mind numbing hold music, I finally gave in. Please cancel my account... "But why sir"? "Have you spoken to our retention department"? I have spoken but no one will listen. You have wrecked my online business because I simply requested a relocation of NBN connection and you connected the service to the wrong address. Unbelievable! "Sir we are waiting for the NBN thread to be disconnected and can not give you an update on the timeframe". "Please accept our apology". TPG its been 6 weeks... I rely on NBN connection to conduct my business. Phone connection cuts out. After I cancelled all service with TPG, internet and mobile phones and to add insult to injury TPG kept debiting my credit card... OMG, I had to make another call to TPG... I am still waiting for the refund.
10thMarch: Called the service and asked the lady that I am moving home. She took some time; and stated that my request has been processed and will be completed. If my internet is disconnected in my old address- it means service at new location is running. So, on that night- interent was off at the old location. They took service off.
11th March: Moved the modem and connected. Modem is working- but no internet service. Called the service provider same old same old will run by tomorrow.
12th March: I called them again. Eventually a guy from the engineering department pick up; and said there was no internet at my location. I defended as my colleague had the service before me in the same house. So, he said he would book a technician to come and fix the issues for me- scheduled for 14th March.
13th March: I received a text message that stated that the technician would go to the old address. WTF- why old address. So, I called them. First two ladies defended that and tried to put blame on me that I did not put any request. So, I said about the date and time. I said it is not professional and I am really upset. So the lady hung up on me. No call back. I called again. A Janice or Jane picked up and lectured me about the 'process' and said my service request never went through. I stated that that is the issue at your end not my. So, help me get the internet. She raises the voice and kept saying 'she is just mentioniong the process'. I do not need to understand how your bureaucracy works in TPG. All I need is internet service that I paid for. She stated that has put 'an urgent request' and I should have an internet connection by tomorrow (i. E. 14/03). Then transferred me to another department in Engineering. I had a chat with Rina- she was good. However, despite all these; issue not solved. She mentioned that I should have internet up and running by tomorrow. 14/03/2021:
7.13 am I received a call from so called Technician that he will be going to my old location. Why-I asked? And advised him to come to my new location. I sent him my new address- the same address I had provided on the first call. So acknowledge of the text message. Heard nothing entire day. What the F*. I called the service after few hours- a guy picked up; he again mentioned that my service request was never put in place. Again; same $#*!. He went on offering me: i. Moving a new account - WHY? I asked he says as your current account has some issue. Why? No answers. Is it just a game to play with the customer. Ii. Wait for unspecified time ( he says- I cant be sure it might take a week or just few days) to fix the internet issue. When I said to him that how about third option, cancel my account and I can find another provider. So, he goes internet will be fixed within the day.
Please note that the house I am living had internet from TPG before I moved in here. So, there is no actual issue. It is just a lot of $#*! that TPG plays up with the customer. Please see how many passcode that I have been sent.
One star. Inefficient service. Spent more time transferring me around departments and holding the line than finding a solution. I hung up. Not solutions focused. Poor performance. I have been a longtime customer. That doesn't seem to matter anymore. Not recommended in Oz.
Poor service in general, with pathetic customer service. Pack of money grabbing rip-off artists. Can't guarantee service that is paid for and no offer of compensation for internet downtime (which has been too regular to be considered satisfactory).
TPG Stop deleting my reviews. TPG "Two year customer" TPG is very bad company, Worst IPS in the known Universe. 3.5mbs speed on average, when working, shockingly slow speeds congested, help is none nothing no reply's to communications and the technician // support is definitely useless is based in Manila Philippines. They will never tell you truth about anything. Top of it, their behavior of TPG is mafia mob style, take it or leave. Worst IPS in the known Universe. From a two year contract costumer now, I am with Tangerine Telecom.
My speed is now over 52mbs couldn't be happier>>>>>>>>with my new ISP Not once in 6 months have I had to contact them. Tony Cornwall
After more than a week with no Internet and three failed NBN inspections, we had to cancel our NBN contract with TPG. There was no other option as both my wife and I work from home and we were being seriously affected by this ongoing disruption. In addition, TPG has no 4G or 5G alternatives and we lost our trust in the NBN.
TPG only offered the distant option of a provisional 4G alternative once they realised our intention of cancelling the service was genuine. And even then, we would still have to wait for another week for the provisional service to be authorised by management, etc.
At no point was TPG concerned about how this disruption was affecting us and never offered quick delivery of the provisional 4G alternative or monetary compensation for the additional (and expensive) mobile data we had to purchase to make up for the lost internet connection.
TPG's only answer was a hefty cancellation fee and no acknowledgement of any responsibility. My recommendation: Do not join TPG. If you want the NBN, join Optus which offers full 4G backup in case the unreliable NBN fails. Glad to leave you behind, TPG.
Had a very poor connection and speeds. Connection drop outs everyday. If you rely on your internet for important tasks TPG is not for you
Non existent customer service. To make things worse they will forfeit any money they can. Like the $20 prepayment.
Finally moving to a reputable provider. Also getting other family members to cancel
TPG - cancelled account early and advised by email not to withdraw from my account next month. TPG went ahead and withdrew $29, from my account, still today no Refend. Where do you go from here... Contacted the Industry Ombudsman and see how we go. Absolute nightmare of a company to deal with
I have been a TPG customer now for about 10 years. Previously with ADSL internet and currently with our family's mobile phones. I believe they are good value for money for economical mobile phone plans. The mobile coverage is good. Everything runs like clock-work and they are contactable and responsive when something needs to be altered or fixed.
Been with TPG for more than 2 years. All good until I have an issue and TPG support is so terrible that it has been 10 days now and I still don't have internet connection. TPG cancelled/disabled my account without my consent. Called and email them everyday. Was able to talk to their manager too but no progress still. They refuse to re-activate or create a new account until I pay the re-connection fee which is like applying for a new connection.
AVOID TPG. They are ok like some claim but once you have an issue like me, it takes ages. Terrible support.
I should have read reviews before signing up with TPG. Reviews for TPG is slow and terrible support. You can read it yourselves.
Save yourself from disaster, AVOID TPG!
