iiNet Outage in Melbourne, State of Victoria

@mark_barbs @iiNet Ditch them mate. I was on @iiNet and had loads of issues and was just met with bureaucratic “help”. Got nowhere - wasted my time. For the same monthly price with @Optus went from 2Mb/s (at best) to 30Mb/s consistently.

@iiNet Invoice 107996489 (Also I’ve just tested again and of course now it seems to be better with 47 down)

@iiNet I’m paying for 50 down on HFC. Have had 45-49 consistently for 6 months. Now my speed has dropped to average of 25 down.

Wow @iiNet There was a time when I’d tell people it’s worth paying a bit more for iiNet because the support service was great. Just called for some help and the wait time is over an hour. Guess this is what happens when @TPG_Telecom is running the show.

@iiNet They weren’t able to help unfortunately. Really bad at over promising and under delivering.

The @iinet ads would have to be the most annoying I have ever endured. I would never join purely because of the guy off these ads! #annoying

@iiNet my internets been down for three days and your call centres have a one hour wait #CustomerService #CustomerExperience

@iiNet Moreover none of your customer service representatives ever get in touch. I have to call them bearing 1 hour waits

@iiNet That is not a no-worries situation for me. I have been calling almost daily and no progress has been made so far. I have to wait on call for more than an before getting disconnected without even talking with a support person and you are saying no worries

@iiNet hey I called you guys 2 hours ago and used your call back service. It said it would be an hour and I still haven't received a call.

@iiNet can you please check NBN connectivity .. I'm trying to set up a new FTTC service 329595858 but it's not connecting. Thanks 😃

@bowie_in_space I’ve been with iinet for 11 years and their customer service is superior. I can’t get a great speed but that’s not them it the infrastructure in my area.

I understand the process but it is the line that is the problem..I am onto @iiNet who said a text and a technical would be sent 86yo there must be a better way to treat our elderly @iiNet will give Telstra details so it can be fixed

@Telstra My mums nbn still not working came on for a short period then off again since weekend still not working I am in Melbourne no technician sent as promised just buck passing bad customer service from @iiNet next step ombudsman. This is not the way to treat our elderly.

My mums internet came on for a short period then off still not working no technician as promised I am in Melbourne at a conference next step ombudsman...this is a disgrace everyone passes the buck @iiNet to @Telstra and our elderly suffer no phone either bad bad bad

@iiNet @ii_joshy Who's Jacob.... Just cancel the account!

@iiNet @ii_joshy So sneaky @iiNet Charged me for a replacement modem that I never asked for. I actually said in a email when they suggested it "To be clear I will not use your god awful modems" and then when I called to query it they couldn't find the notes...

@iiNet @ii_joshy So someone called me last night from @iiNet, I explained the issue and she agreed with me about how the service should have been provisioned on a different port and that it was understandable why I would want to leave iiNet because of the issues that I've had...

@iiNet we have signed up with iinet over a week ago and have not had any communication about modem being delivered after contacting via email, or the service being activated after sending required documents. An update would be great....

@iinet replacement modem issued last Friday. Just rang to check on delivery status and they told me it’s been delivered yet I received nothing. I want this resolved today or I’m cancelling my service. 2 weeks without internet and soon to be 3 if you have to send another out!

@iiNet @iiTalW Was on the phone for three hours and didn’t manage to fix it. It’s with the Faults team now.

I’ve tried 2 modems and my internet still isn’t working yet the “support” staff (they’ve done everything but support) insist I wait a week for a new modem to try. Just send a bloody technician out to my apartment so my internet is fixed! Sub-standard service all week from iiNet

@iiNet @iiWaheeb It’s a wireless connection. I received a new modem a couple of months ago but it doesn’t seem to make much of a difference. I’ll call the support line soon for help, thanks for responding.

I’ve been trying for 2hrs to fix my cable wifi @iiNet. Just dropped out all of a sudden and now I keep getting redirected to Gateway HTTP intercept page. Tried multiple devices and modems, factory reset etc and still nothing. Help!

Hey @iiNet your support services are crap. #thatsall

@iiNet My net has Gone down right at the wrong t ikme wtf is going on

@iiNet @iiLeoY Still no connection, 60hrs+ and counting, spoke to your team today, can't help me because I'm not named on the contract, even though I have the latest invoice. Offered me a private call out. WTH. What now? I change providers to gain access to the net again?

@iiNet @iimaaj I do, but I don't want to publicly post it. The NBN is down

what's going @iinet? No internet since 2pm, getting a little frustrating in particular since your website says 'no issues' #brunswick your phone line tells me to queue for at least 1hr, c'mon! Get your act together

Hey @iselect @TPG_Telecom @Optus @iiNet @dodo can you help out Senator @stuartrobertmp with his internet plan? He seems to be charging Australian Taxpayers $2000 a month for internet usuage, surely he is on the wrong plan? Thanks.

@iiNet @iiLeoY I have been in contact and lodged a formal complaint.

@iiNet #1 for customer service is a joke.

@iiNet 2 weeks I called and decided to switch to iiNet but some idiot has gone and disconnected my current internet before my modem has even been dispatched and I have been without any internet for 5 days now and no one seems to give a damn. NOT IMPRESSED

Another bad part about this is the non-refundable $5 administration fee that I paid to @Ticketek_AU to be part of the Grand Final ballot. Instead of donating to the only organisation whose incompentence rivals @iinet I could’ve bought myself a coffee. #aflfinals

@iiNet @ii_joshy My immediate requirement is a service which I have to obtain from elsewhere due to this long delay.

@iiNet @ii_joshy I've already mentioned as the services are critical for me and outage of this long is intolerable.

@iiNet @iiWaheeb Thanks Doesn't look like ONT has a problem, except that an network issue where the laptop didn't get an IP assigned when directly connected to it.

@iiNet @iiWaheeb I'll contact you once there. This is really bad as I cannot reach out to my sick mother.

@iiNet @ii_joshy At this moment to my home has not internet. I'm away and home phone is diverted to iiNet Voicemail meaning no service at the modem.

@tofuboi1986 @Raejayy4721 @lewymitch @iiNet @NBN_Australia @Aussie_BB I’ve been having odd disconnects and shit the last couple of months too! But my speeds haven’t been compromised

@vhatelse @iiNet @acidtestjohn @ii_cMay Definitely. When I first called yesterday morning the customer service rep had no idea of the issue and suggested it was my router.

@Telstra It’s ADSL through iiNet but in the Telstra network

@iiNet @iiLeoY Advertising 24mbps and delivering less than 6 is false advertising... support hasn’t been able to help and I have asked them to prove I was given the appropriate documentation showing 6 would be acceptable speed

@N_Shuttleworth @Ticketek_AU @AFL The only difference between @iinet and @Ticketek_AU is that iiNet provided regular updates to confirm their incompetence, whereas Ticketek has given next to nothing. I’m unsure which customer service strategy I prefer.

@iiNet @ii_joshy Yep no problem man!

@iiNet Good job @iiNet and @NBN_Australia for getting my service back up and running fairly quickly. #joondalup #perth #Broadband #Australia

@NBN_Australia down in Edgewater Perth. Hopefully it will not take the 48 hours that @iiNet have told me it could take. #joondalup #Perth #nbn #australia #broadband

@iiNet I’ve had your service for about a month and a half and 3 of those weeks I’ve had no internet but I’m still paying for the service. I work from home and I am forced to go elsewhere to connect to internet so I can work. Please fix this or else I’m changing companies.

@iiNet No other devices we're connected (wifi is disabled on all computers) and at that time, no Mobile devices were connected to the wireless network. No applications/downloads were active during speed tests.

@iiNet re Event#6414554. I don't have a major issue with an outage, stuff happens and I am sure you are doing your best to fix it. What I do have a problem with is that after 15 hours of outage your team cannot tell us what caused the issue and how long it is going to be out for

@iiNet 16 hours and still not fixed in this day and age when so many people rely on your service is simply not good enough.

Hey @iinet another appointment and another day that my internet is not working. This may actually now force me to disconnect from the online world. And save some money at the same time

Thanks iiNet - 15 hours ago a major outage and still no idea when it will be fixed. No phones (no copper lines anymore) and no internet for the office. I can’t even print because it requires a WIFI connection!!! Gonna be an exciting day. @AmryanAnnie @GRLLEN

@iiNet @tommyhoogstra Yeh about time for an update, with more and more essential services pushing their web services and email as primary contact points you need to do better for such an extended outage

INTERNET / EMAIL OUTAGE Due to service issues our internet and email servers are currently down. iiNet is working to restore service in the Geelong region. For any urgent matters please call the Basketball Geelong office of 5277 1388
