  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.

  It's impossible to get any help from @iinet They are cancelling hosting but no reply to messages, no one ever picks up even when we wait on the phone for hours. Come on! There has to be some way to get help. Has anyone called the Ombudsman?

  @iiNet it’s very interesting that IiNet seem not to use any of their social media since 2024. It that because of the appalling and depleting customer service like the outage in our area today that was not communicated or corrected in the 14 hours since it went off line ?

  @iinet again another full day without internet. You pay them monthly but when the system goes down @iinet just takes your money and laughs in your face.

  Pretty much comms across Australia are failing right now. Txt international from Australian networks and let me know how you get on and which carrier you use. Per @iiNet Mobile support "all Australia" mobile services affected. Not sure if that is accurate. Txt msg error 28

  <ugh> thats been a painful few days. @iiNet I had to literally accost an NBN co tech, who was working on in the pit (because someone else had zero internet) and he discovered the line was actually broken, thanks for making me spend $500 on a new modem plus plan upgrades because your employee told me "the line is fine". Feel free @iiNet to respond and i will give you the telecommunications ombudsmans reference number for the complaint I lodged. Tell me to "wait 24 hours" and our tier 2 tech will be in contact. I couldn't even speak to them to tell them the issue. Garbage service
