Absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced.
I have never been able to get the assistance I need any earlier than 72 hours later.
Now that I have signed up to the NBN with one of their competitors, I can't even get through to their accounts team to have my old service cancelled. I've been trying for 6 days!
Go with literally anyone else, this is the worst company and there is just no support available.

TPG is one of the most un-ethical company I have came across. I have been using their ADSL since 2010. In May 2019, I have changed my internet plan to belong . I only have realised that they still direct debiting money from my credit card in Mar 2020. When I contacted them, their customer service said I need to send my cancellation to email cancel@tpg.com.au (but not customer service), or they will not process my cancellation. I have send cancel@tpg.com.au at lease 5 emails in the last 2 weeks, no responses at all. What are they trying to do? Get another month of payment out of me? On top of that they will not refund the 11 months payment back to me, because I did not cancel the service in May 2019. It is australia, it is standard practice that when people change electricity, phone company (without contact) , we donot need to inform the old company . As there is one electricity line, and one phone number. Same as internet, there is only one internet outlet in my house. If I have been using belong. How can TPG claim that they have been providing service to me. It is like some Australian banks which were charging dead people fee, it was fined by government for their misconduct. TPG is very un- Australian and unethical. My problem is still unresolved, as you can not get through them via phone nor emails nowadays. I will definitely not use TPG again and I urge you the same. For a customer service perspective, they are appalling

TPG is so slow the service poor. Cannot open google or send an image.

Now I have not had internet for 3 weeks. TPG don't answer the phone and the technicians do not show up when booked. I have just spend a day waiting, even thought they nominated the day and time.

It is the worst service ever! AVOID

1 - I have used TPG for years now, and when changing addresses I chose to wait for NBN to be available in 10th January as I was told. It was not available then and I had some time left in my previous contract so I decided to switch to ADSL+. I kept calling TPG to assure the process was still happening until the day it was meant to be connected it was not because they changes the day to June and I was NOT informed.

2 - When connecting to ADSL+ I called on the 20/01/2020 to confirm whether my current WIFI router is compatible to ADSL+ , the first constumer representative said NO. And asked if I wanted to order one I said NO. Second representative I spoke to on the same day asking if I can connect ADSL+ with a corxial cable and she said YES. Which is not correct. I spoke for the third time to a techinical support consultant and he informed me that the information given me previous were ALL FALSE. TPG has given me false and misleading information and wanted me to buy a new modem that was not necessary at all.

3 - The day of the suppposed installation 21/01/2020. I called at 5:30PM to confirm as I didnt receive ANYTHING via text or email. Techinical support says there is NO CONNECTION AT ALL.

I wasted money buying a phone cord and an adapter and in the 2 months without internet I had to use my own 4G service from another provider causing me a $167 bill.

Their costumer service is appalling. Stay away!!

Extremely hard to use the internet service. Extremely hard for the cancellation process! Extremely bad service experience! I can not verify me is me! This is so ridiculous! I provide all of my details apart from my Bunsiness name, which I don’t know why in TPG’s system is different from my real current business name! But they just don’t let me to access my account . I respect they followed their rules to do the job! But not when I can provide every detail things even my which account TPG charged me each month, which day TPG took my money, I can provide whatever you want but the correct business name( Which I provide, but don’t know why is not the one in their system) and then , they just don’t let me make any changes. ( I think they just try to let me pay one more day, or try not to let me cancel my account)

And when I try to call them again to cancel my other account with TPG( which I have 2 accounts) argue with them about 30mins , and then they told me they can’t help me to cancel it, I must email them to cancel! F !

I am highly recommend everyone to thinking carefully before you join in this company. Never ever with TPG again! See you next life!

I was in the process of registering on line for FTTB. Pay close attention to the “prepayment” charge for voice prepayment outside included value. On questioning their customer service, it’s a prepayment charge of $20 on possible calls you may make that are not included in the bundle. No worries on that. However that charge is “forfeited” when and if you cancel the service. So basically if you don’t make any calls ever they take this “prepayment” charge and keep it, even if you never used it. Asked to speak to a representative here is Australia and surprise surprise, no one available. Maybe I’ll have a chat to the communications ombudsmen. A prepayment is an advanced payment for a service you may possibly use. If that service is not used those funds should be returned to the owner of said funds

Don't mind the internet speeds but customer service is appalling. There's been an NBN outage in my area for almost a week. I was promised updates to restoration and have received no call or email. Nbn came back on last night and still no phone call to me to let me know connection has been restored.

Don't Do It - Research a different company. TPG's customer service is awful, initial connection takes forever (which they don't tell you about, mind you you still pay for this unconnected time). They don't care about you or their service merely money orientated.
