What’s your experience with TPG?

[mickmickey]

my family and I are going to be moving house soon and my parent is thinking about switching from Telstra to TPG when we get NBN. My parent says they have heard great things about TPG but the people that I’ve asked have said they have had nothing but trouble with them. So from those of you who have been with TPG, would you recommend we just stay with Telstra or switch to TPG?

@mickmickey According to your other post it appears you’re already connected to tpg https://community.tpg.com.au/t5/Broadband-Internet/No-internet-connection/m-p/27558 ?

Experience with TPG is very poor and I would not recomend. My understandig is that when you sign up with TPG, you waive the Customer Service Gaurentee, meaning that TPG can take as long as they plesee to fix your phone line if it goes down.  (https://www.tpg.com.au/terms_conditions/tpg_voice). TPG rent the phone line from Telstra but in my experience seem completely incapable of communicating with Telstra effectively or persuading Telstra to rectify faults. In retrospect I wish I had signed up with a company that honors the CSG because being stuck without phone and internet for days on end is incredibly disruptive.

Thanks once again for copying and pasting text sent to me 3 days ago re the outage on my phone and internet which is still not fixed. Really means a lot. 

However, there are many other things you can do to resolve the situation for me - which do not involve blaming Telstra. 

Please let me know if you are prepared to help by providing a replacement device during thr outage or waving fees for a service not working?

Hi @peterpro

Welcome to the Community!

Hi @arzdfd, while we will endeavour to make the Service available to customers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, the Service is not fault free and we cannot guarantee uninterrupted service, or the speed, performance or quality of the service.

There are many factors outside of our control which affect the Services, such as the performance of third party suppliers and equipment, force majeure events and quality of the copper pair. We accept no liability for interruptions to the Service or for any resulting damage or loss suffered by you or any third party.

We reserve the right to perform maintenance work from time to time, which may temporarily interrupt your access to the Service. Where possible, we will perform this work during non-peak times.

If we happen to identify that there's an issue with the equipment or the modem, we can look into replacing it.

We don't provide monetary compensation, but we can request a billing adjustment and this is still subject for approval.

Furthermore, if you are an existing TPG customer and having issues with the service, please PM us your TPG customer ID, username and address so we can pull up the account.
