TPG NBN dropouts

Has anyone else been experiencing drop outs?

My connection is fairly new. Less than 2 months in fact, my internet drops out almost every other day, for a solid hour or two. I phoned in support to understand whats happening, they couldn't explain.

They told me nbn technicians "fixed it remotely". What ever fix they made dont seem permanent as it continues to drop out today.

Its frustrating. Especially if the nature of your work relies on constant onternet connection like i do.

Looking forward to any kind of help or advise.

I experienced the same since yesterday. No internet for the entire night and today. Reported to TPG via online form yesterday. Called them twice today, let my tel number in 3 hours and 10 mins ago. No call back or reply. I dialled the nbn phone from my office. It says number not in service. What is going on?? Can TPG please response. And action on it asap.

Same story here, churned over to NBN 3 weeks ago, on the guarantee from Sales dept of a faster & more reliable connection... Pfft!

 

Wish i stayed on ADSL2+, never had an issue in 10 years.. I have already opened 3 tickets with no resolution, they say its been stable for x hrs then close the ticket... They're now sending me a new Modem although i doubt it will fix the issue, & get this, they asked me to pay the return shipping on the old modem..!!! I was flabergasted & refused to pay shipping for a defective item, they then said they would waive the cost & rightly so..

 

From a quick search/read on Whirlpool forums, a couple users had the same issues & the problem wasnt solved until the NBN unit was replaced. When mine was being installed the first unit failed 'out-of-the-box', the guy then went to his van & grabbed another, which worked.. Obviously it's crap equipment they're using... I have an FTTC connection btw...
