    @DianeDromgold @iiNet Its been since tpg took over they went from best customer service in the country to the worst

    Hi @iiNet , I have spent literally hours on the phone trying to get your sales and provisioning team to live up to what was promised when I signed up to 5G as a temporary solution. I have repeatedly explained the fact that my lack of address eligibility for cable appears to be due to my odd address number. A fact that could confirmed by a technically competent member of your provisioning team looking at my address using Google maps. Your front line and next level staff have been convinced enough to raise it with the provisioning team multiple times. Indeed, on Friday I was promised around noon that a member of the provisioning team would call me back. “Hopefully by the end of the day”. I don’t consider the “computer says no” style text sent to me at almost exactly 5pm fulfilling the commitment made earlier in the day. As I have explained repeatedly, my landlady lives 3 houses up the street on the same side and has cable that she is very happy with. She wants exactly the same at this address. All I want is for @iinet to honour its multiple commitments to have site visits or direct contact with the provisioning team to get an explanation why. I am pretty much assuming that your provisioning team’s KPIs don’t mention customer service or satisfaction. For reference, the following “task ID’s”(?) will give your provisioning team and customer satisfaction teams all the background they need to prepare prior to contacting me by phone to get some calm, clear yet confronting feedback. 491593626 489731569 There are more but those are the most recent. You have my mobile number and I look forward to you fulfilling the commitment made on Friday to have a senior staff member call me.

    Do you know what grinds my gears? When you spend all day doing the work required to get to the bottom of a problem that should not be yours but the company decides it will be, & the 4th rep you’ve spoken to today says “I’m glad we’ve been able to resolve the issue”. .@iiNet 😡

    @iiNet is actively blocking use of @discord Discord it an important communication platform for many. This happened to us last month and after following every solution they had @discord_support, who were quick to reply to my emails, worked out to be our ****** ISP.

    And yet ... (@heresisted) reported

    Seriously @iiNet I sent you an email in which I clearly stated I did not have time to talk to you on the phone and yet instead of replying by email you tried to call me AND when I didn't answer YOU KEPT CALLING interrupting my work. Seriously what is your problem?

  • stueyissickofit
    Stuart (@stueyissickofit) reported

    Ok @iiNet I can't access my eSim through toolbox, but you can't cancel it, and I can't transfer it, so I am stuck paying for a phone that I can't use, and then when I call up customer service, no manager or supervisor will call me. This has been going on for months.

    Emailed @iiNet twice in the last 2 weeks with no response. Is this how you treat customers who have been with you for 25 years? @launtel here I come.

    @iiNet how do I contact you when I’m outside of the country? I have a problem with the Internet at my house in Perth and my family can’t get through to your and they need my invoice, which can’t access to due to no sms.

    @iiNet it’s impossible to get through to your tech support team. Been trying all week. As you will not be hosting email services from the end of April how is one meant to change providers??

    @iinet @tpg just bizarre behaviour Cancelled @NBN_Australia on UNI D1 with several weeks notice. They continued to issue invoices after termination. Ignored emails, then finally issues refund for the wrong amount. After 10 years its so good to exit this crappy business account

    @iiNet Hey iiNet, 5G is down "connected without internet". Care to give the customers some information? (and it's not just me). Also, what is hosted email? I've just seen that you're ending "hosted email". How do I know if I'll be affected?

    Kristian Liddiard (@Kliddiard) reported

    @iiNet internet has been intermittent and stuffed for weeks. Call and sitting on hold forever kinda makes for an impossible resolution. Just thought you’d like to know that I’ll be logging a logging a complaint with the Ombudsman. No thanks

    How crap are @iiNet .. cancel the grapevine mail service .. no notifications or advice this is happening .. no support to customers .. had this email for 18 years so you can imagine work involved updating new email .. do IiNet care .. nope don’t return calls emails online forms

  • Ereon74

    @iiNet Hey Team, are there any issues for your NBN services in NSW, more specifically the greater Maitland area? Service has been uncharacteristically patchy this afternoon. Semi regular DNS lookup errors and dropouts. They last for anywhere from 2-10 minutes and then come good.

    And, @iinet and #TheMessengerCo, I know how to reset passwords in settings and my post-grad in tech isn't helping here. I need actual tech support, tho you're both hopeless in that dept. I haven't had email on one device or another since Aug 11. Now on both, so zero email.

    @iiNet I have done that. In short, I've been waiting five hours for a call back. Five. Hours. Where are your support people?

  • _IndianPacific
    GillianA 🌺 (@_IndianPacific) reported

    @iiNet I shouldn't have had to top up. There was no explanation that there was an issue. I did not receive a text or an email that there was an issue. All I got was "Can't send text by iiNet. Error 28" iiNet support did not know what Error 28 was nor did Mobile support. Ref # 380798763

    @iiNet is there anybody operating the business support for hosting any more? I've been trying for 3 days to get into contact, and kept getting put on hold for over 2 hours that leads nowhere each time.

  • Abloodynicechap
    A Bloody Nice Chap (@Abloodynicechap) reported

    @Telstra @iiNet No- I report faults they instantly say its NBN, yet NBN can't find any faults. 4 months at $90 dollars with no 4g back-up. Shocking service, as highlighted here. I will be over with @iiNet by the end of the month and will recommend everyone else to do likewise.

    @gReb3l @iiNet Mate, just get Starlink. I had issues with iiNet VDSL due to infrastructure issues outside my control, was only getting 2 - 5 Mbps when promised 70 Mbps. They refused to fix the issue and didn't want to reduce/refund bills even though weren't honouring their promise.

    @aimyaimless @BazzaCC I do.. and 2FA is a good thing if done right. There is no opt out, and only works with SMS for @iiNet which is a problem for me.. last month I had a SIM card issue.. couldn’t pay my bill or report the internet outage on the NBN for 3 days because of it. My bank is not the same,
