  • saintmichaelq17 Michael Trump (@saintmichaelq17) reported

    @iiNet iiNet have become so anti customer care …. Never ever get involved with them

  • CarlDPayne Antifa Payne 🎹😈 (@CarlDPayne) reported

    @KentJohnson @iiNet We finally got it settled but not before hours of waiting for call centres, for email replies, for any real action It’s a universal issue of course, iiNet is just one example Public & private organisations all hide behind on-line & ‘self-serve’ walls The bricks are countless

  • ajphelo Andrew J Phelan (@ajphelo) reported

    It’s a good 5 years ago now but I’ll never ever forget it. The single worse brand experience I’ve ever had in my life was with @iiNet I could write a book about it but the short story is it put my elderly parents at risk and it meant I never made it to Phnom Penh

  • saintmichaelq17 Michael Trump (@saintmichaelq17) reported

    @iiNet I did a DM and …. You see not one element of IiNet is customer care oriented over 8 weeks of despair never ever deal with them … I warn you

  • Makucha Jo (@Makucha) reported

    @iiNet No. Because the issue is at your end not mine. And I’m tired of lengthy phone conversations with people who can’t help. Just fix your servers.

  • gav_mck Gavin McKenzie (@gav_mck) reported

    @Rob2563 @iiNet We've been with More Telecom, via CBA, for months now, cheaper and service is via Vocus

  • Ozludo RobS (@Ozludo) reported

    @iiNet Hey guys - have been waiting for resi broadband tech support to pick-up since 4.30. It has been an hour on hold. No offer of a call back. This is the third outage this week, probably the tenth time in the last 6 weeks. Could someone please respond? This is ridiculous.

  • THEFDMA Daz (@THEFDMA) reported

    @iiNet Have now spent 7 hours all up trying to resolve #iiNet issues. 4 still ongoing. 1. Reimbursement for a Fetch Mini that was inexplicably sent to me 2 days after receiving the requested Fetch Mighty. 2. Unable to connect Optus Sport to new Fetch Mighty.

  • THEFDMA Daz (@THEFDMA) reported

    @iiNet Have been on hold for half an hour. No option for a call back. Customer service doesn’t exist here. Fetch box has reset and asking for activation number. This is the latest in a long list of f#*! Ups from #iiNet There will need to be reimbursement once this is sorted.

  • Ziphora_Art Ziphora 🌭 Fire Dawg Vtuber (@Ziphora_Art) reported

    @iiNet It'd been 3 days. It's not because the router needs to be restarted. We've called and it took 2 days to really get a response on what's happening. It's the node to the premises that's the problem and it's still not fixed.

  • saintmichaelq17 Michael Trump (@saintmichaelq17) reported

    @iiNet Well well well!!! The offer to resolve my issues have still not been successful … Since APT have purchased iiNet their service and competence has gone to shite I suggest people should consider an alternative as they are no longer an Organisation that avoids incompetence

  • DarrylMason Darryl Mason (@DarrylMason) reported

    It's 2023, and the local @NBN still switches off everytime it rains. it rained 12 times today, so 12 outages Until 6pm when it just shut off completely for everyone around me. No messages, no explanations from NBN or @iiNet. They charge $70 to $120 a month for this pathetic crap.

  • Fiskorama Fisk (@Fiskorama) reported

    @ajphelo @iiNet iiNET is shocking. Simply unbelievably poor service.

  • david_w_au David (@david_w_au) reported

    @iiNet I'm having an awful experience with iinet. My elderly MIL, 91 yrs, lives alone, her iinet landline isn't working. Was promised it would be fixed yesterday, still not working. She has no way to call for help if she needs it. Asked 6 times today for updates, silence.

  • emboy4real Emboy (@emboy4real) reported

    @iiNet need help with Toolbox access. Can get in with NBN account but not my previous ADSL account which have my email accounts linked.

  • whambamthkymam nic aintnon 🌻 (@whambamthkymam) reported

    @iiNet I am having an awful experience with your company. I’m trying to cancel a mobile service but maintain my internet and your people are not helping. They are rude and disconnect me. Next stop the Ombudsman.

  • cloudcitizen Graham Lauren (@cloudcitizen) reported

    @iiNet @TelcoOmbudsman @whirlpoolnetau SMALL BUSINESSES, FIND ANOTHER MOBILE TELCO AND AVOID THE PAIN OF DOING BUSINESS WITH #iiNET Even when it pretends to want to help me via a DM here, #iiNet’s system is still ****** up. Its link to my login yields only "message":"Forbidden"

  • Makucha Jo (@Makucha) reported

    Did Elon Musk also buy @iinet? Because its service has recently plummeted even more than usual. Since the fiasco with hosted exchange mail, accessing and sending emails on my phone has been tortuously slow. Is the “new server” some 2nd hand rusted box from a 3rd world country?

  • cloudcitizen Graham Lauren (@cloudcitizen) reported

    @iiNet @TelcoOmbudsman @whirlpoolnetau Only #iiNET CAN DISAPPOINT LIKE IT DOES. SMALL BUSINESSES, FIND ANOTHER MOBILE TELCO AND AVOID THE PAIN OF DOING BUSINESS WITH #iiNET. Its system and its value for money remain broken, no matter how or how many times I complain.

  • cloudcitizen Graham Lauren (@cloudcitizen) reported

    @iiNet @TelcoOmbudsman @whirlpoolnetau SMALL BUSINESSES, FIND ANOTHER MOBILE TELCO TO AVOID DOING BUSINESS WITH #iiNET. From Sydney to Gold Coast, not Australia’s most remote route, #iiNet’s service was often non-existent on two phones. #iiNet = appalling value and terrible CX

  • MCA31 Marc (@MCA31) reported

    @iiNet who do I contact in regards to my poor connection and speeds? I’m getting less than 9% of my plans connection speed.

  • amp1874 Peter Vamplew (@amp1874) reported

    Hey @iinet. Maybe if your staff spent more time actually dealing with my problem and less trying to up-sell me an unrelated mobile phone plan then it might be possible to order a modem upgrade in less than 50 minutes and by talking to less than 4 different staff members.

  • JimothyGweedz Jimothy Gweedz (@JimothyGweedz) reported

    @iiNet There is no worse customer service team than iiNet

  • Rob2563 Robstar (@Rob2563) reported

    My 2023 goes is to be rid of my crappy @iiNet service and their clunky, useless toolbox system and cumbersome payment process. Bigger and Better (and easier).

  • deanfrommelb Dean Lewis (@deanfrommelb) reported

    @iiNet The speeds are generally great, sometimes it drops out entirely - which is the concern. The slowest I've had is the advertised speed, I'm often 10mbs over If I have an issue, it is that the connection drops entirely, no internet at all

  • saintmichaelq17 Michael Trump (@saintmichaelq17) reported

    @iiNet iiNet continue to deflect the problem that has been on going for over 8 weeks …. It remains the case !

  • cloudcitizen Graham Lauren (@cloudcitizen) reported

    @iiNet @TelcoOmbudsman @whirlpoolnetau SMALL BUSINESSES, FIND ANOTHER MOBILE TELCO TO AVOID DOING BUSINESS WITH #iiNET. Even when it knows a complaining customer has a problem it needs to solve, it is completely inert in its response, making them want to find another supplier.

  • mattchapmandraw mattchapmandraws (@mattchapmandraw) reported

    @iiNet Hi I seem to have an outage. The nbn outage site says there are no outages detected in my area. I’m area code 3079. Cheers
