No landline

A lightning strike blew our landline cordless phone and router 3 weeks ago. TPG sent out a technician and we were sent a new router and we bought a new phone. I have installed the router but I keep getting this message come up ....Your newly installed broadband equipment is waiting to be automatically configured...

Also our phone has a dial tone but the light on the phone is not on and when I dial a number it just beeps a long beep.

A technician told us our router had to be reset from your end but I cannot get to talk to anyone on the phone. Please help. I have two autistic sons who need their wifi.

Regards

Hi TPG Support,

 

This is not acceptable. We have issue with the NBN performance during peak office hour & we tried to report it. But all we get back is URL after URL which seems like TPG is denying their nbn capacity. I am sure I am not the only one affected as I have a few friends living in the Hills and Glenwood area and are forced to upgrade their NBN50 to NBN100. I have been running speedtest at various time and days recently with Ethernet cable. At 5pm today, the upload speed and download speed are all under 4MBPS. How can you keep asking us to check this and that but not from your end?

According to your sale spec on tpg web page, the download speed is >40mbps for evening time. But what is the minimum download/upload speed for NBN50? Why do we have to pay extra for TPG capacity problem?

Can you please closely monitor the nbn capacity from your end and let me know your findings?

Thnks & regards,

Ka
