nbn installation schedule

[LongQian]

Received a text from tpg in November telling me that the appointment for nbn installation is 19/12/18, confirmed it twice, then today sent me a text saying it has been rescheduled to 15/01/19 without me doing anything, meaning that I have to wait a total of around 2 months for nbn to get installed. Is causing delay in a lot of important things and I’m really not pleased, especially since I had already asked to take work off tomorrow to be home for the installation. Even if they had to delay it can’t the warning have been sent at least three days in advance?

Just got a phone call from them again and the service says that the appointment is still on the 15/01/19, without explaining why the appointment was moved. Also even though we don’t have wifi we still have to pay for it. Can’t believe this is how Tpg deals with their customers

Hi @LongQian,

Welcome to the community!
 

I can only imagine how frustrating your experience has been. I would love to help and see what happened on your NBN installation. I tried to use community details to pull up the account unfortunately no match.
 

To better understand the situation; I'd like to get your account details (Username/Customer ID or Contact number associated with the account).

Cheers!

I phoned again just then and the support person told me that it is due to there being not enough technicians, completely different from the first time when I phoned and they said it was because of a problem with nbn. This is causing a lot of stress for my family and especially my daughter since she recently finished the hsc and needs wifi for registering into uni. I hope the appointment date can be changed to earlier, at least before 01/01/2019 thanks.

Hi @LongQian,

Welcome to the community!

We've managed to check the latest update on your Service Installation and it shows here that the reason why the service fault is taking too long to resolve is because of the high workload of the NBN field technicians at your location.

We will continue to push our third party service provider to fast track the resolution to your issue and I will ask our Provisioning team to closely monitor the progress of your case and contact you for any important updates. We understand the importance of your service and we apologise for the inconvenience.

Regards,

Hi Shane
I think the quickest solution to this is to send more technicians into my area so they can get the job done quickly. The best solution is to send a technician to my home before 01/01/2019 because as you know, there is a census date for uni enrolments and there are a lot of procedures to follow, and the problem with this installation is really causing trouble.
