Let me explain how TPG works.
1/You call them, they tell you to discinnect your lead from socket to modem and plug it into the Ethernet socket,then return it to modem socket , magically the speed is back to what it should be, but they tell you they did nothing and thus they need to escalate to their technical department.
2/The technical department do not call you ,so you escalate to their complaints department
3/They call you and tell you that it's an issue with the 2 pair from the exchange and Telstra have been booked to investigate and repair.
4/You get a call from the complaints people saying Telstra can't find the issue and you can cancel you ADSL2 if you wish.
5/Telstra never have been engaged and it's just TPG with their crap equipment at the exchange.
6/Find another ISP and guess what.......no issue with speed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good day @luke,
Thank you for raising this with us. We'd like to look into it to understand the situation.
Please shoot me a private message with your TPG username or CID number.
Kind regards,
None of you are helpful, you tell me all these stories and my speed is still unusable, you tell your@customers@ what they think they want to hear.Your inconsiderate to your customers needs, uncompassionate, drive people to stress and anxiety..
This is the last email i sent.....
Thank you, when will I receive compensation or lower monthly charge(or no charge until rectified) considering I cannot use it as per the contract I entered into with TPG and the stress and lost time at work and time spent on the phone to TPG.
I have had this problem now for nearly two months
Downloading a 100mb file has today taken over 4hrs!!!
I have contacted the ACCC to inform them of the situation & the stress that has been caused to myself, if the change of line does not improve my service then I will pass onto them the full details and all my records of :
1/Number of calls and time spent on them to TPG
2/Having to take time off work to be home(twice) whilst Telstra tech was around and who TOLD me he had changed the line..so someone is lying..and wasted my time
3/All emails sent to TPG re this issue
4/Paying for a 20/5 speed but getting 2/.2
Speak to ACCC and TIO and let them sort it out. Document all your communication
in terms of what you brought up:
1/Number of calls and time spent on them to TPG - you get this with other ISP, Telstra/Optus included
2/Having to take time off work to be home(twice) whilst Telstra tech was around and who TOLD me he had changed the line..so someone is lying..and wasted my time - this is standard practice having to take time off work for a tech to come onsite. The tech should have run tests and have logs to back up what he said
3/All emails sent to TPG re this issue - same as point 1
4/Paying for a 20/5 speed but getting 2/.2 - all ISP have this in disclaimer... up to xxx speeds depending on how far you are to exchange, quality of line, if you are in a paid gain, rim, quality of copper to your address (owned by Telstra), quality of copper in your building, etc, etc
