NBN installation is nightmare

[spiderchon]

Finally, have the nbn technician came out to fix everything with the nbn box yesterday ( around 10am). He said wait for 30 mins, after the internet light on the modem turn to green, I will have internet. However, wait for whole day, it is still not working, so I called TPG, spent a 1.5 hours on phone, still cannot resolve the issue. ( appreciate the effort and patient of the hotline girl provided). This morning I have googled the issues, and solve the internet problem, but another issue come out.

- the nbn guy connected the modem wrongly, that was fixed last night on the phone with tpg
- the tpg girl taught me to reset the modem manually, but she thought I am using nbn Fttb, so the modem cannot be configured. This morning I found out mine is nbn hfc, using the configuration for it, then I can get the internet working.

However, the problem I have now is:
Once the internet working, my Sony digital TV is not working at the same time. I am unsure if this related to the nbn Internet?

I tried to reset the wireless on the tv, and it is connected to the modem now, but still no digital tv... what wrong with it? Before it is ok, the issue instantly happen when the nbn internet start to work.

Sigh... any help?

Hi @spiderchon, thanks for letting us know.

We have checked the status of your connection and it appears to be properly working at the moment. However, we'll have a specialist contact you to check the actual equipment set up and what can be done to resolve the issue.

Moreover, please send us a private message with your best contact number and available time to receive a call for troubleshooting.

Nonetheless, we'd like to set your expectation that if we are unable to detect any issues within our network after the troubleshooting, you may need to contact SONY so they can check the settings of your Digital TV. 

We'll wait for your contact details. Thank you.

Steven, I offer my condolensences: 

Like you have had TPG ADSL for over 8 yearswith no issures, very disappointedwith NBN and TPG!

13 days ago  was forced to take Rudd's RUBBISH.

Had No phone since the first day connection.

Takes me between 40-50 minutes stuffing around each each morning  to get connected.  

Star rating  half a star  total crap

Only good news, THANK GOD,  I am not under contact.

Unlimited on my mobile,  looks like my option

Hi @rjbiz,

The number that they've provided you was 131423 Option 2 + 1, which is a toll free number. It was also sent via SMS.

I will chase this up with them since they were able to detect that the internet seems to be working. Do you have any preferred time for them to try to contact you again to make sure that they'll be able to reach you?

Regards,
