We have lived in this location for 18 months now and have been on the same plan for that time.

last night internet dropped out completely and this morning called Support with a problem with the internet.

Only just discovered that when I try to call my home phone I get a message "The number you have called is not Valid" We are on a pay as you go plan for phone and Unlimited download fo internet.

We noticed that the Internet light on the modem is out (not showing at all).

Account payments are up to date.

Any ideas, please? My thought is that the Modem has finally died.

I have had the same situation since the heat wave in Adelaide! Unlimited plan (nbn 12). My area is 5011.

Could TPG looks at this issue.

Thanks.

Hi @nguyenm6,


Thanks for raising this to us. I ran an initial test on your service it shows multiple dropouts on your modem/router's connection to our network. What troubleshooting have you done so far?
 

We'd like to arrange a call from one of our Technicians for further test and investigation feel free to PM me your best contact number and preferred time today.

Thanks Shane for your promptly reply.

The only thing we can do at the moment is to reset the modem and router. It is sometimes fixing the issue, but no so long to drop out again.

The worst dates were on 30-31 Jan when we didn't connect to the network at all! Sometimes having internet but it has had very slow speed (speed test: 0.74Mbps download).

You can connect my TPG mobile as home number is not very reliable now! I am home today.

Many thanks again for your service support.

I forget to mention that my router is off itself sometimes.

Also, few times all lights of the modem is off except the power light.

Thanks

Got a call from TPG today and it looks like the earliest they can get someone to come out is Tuesday afternoon. Lucky I have a mobile plan, not with TPG unfortunately, but at least a way of hot spotting. Just a pain cause i have now used 30% of my data on that plan.
