What a bunch of cocksmokers
Simple thing.....transfer from one address to another and change to ADSL2+ and Home phone.


Simple? then why have those dickheads managed to make a COMPLETE balls up of it?
I have had several progress reports since I spent 33 mins on the mobile to them as sds001 Account.
All I did was to "reply" to an e-mail enquiring as to why they had charged double the quoted price on my credit card....
They sent back that sds001 was taken and I should choose another name....I replied again that I had already been
confirmed as sds001 and was merely asking about the charge.....
They sent back...sds001 is taken already and I would have to use 001sds....
Now I am getting progress reports for sds001 and 001sds...FFS you #*@#*%$#@!$!^&*()$##nts
Dumb doesn't even come close .......
I'm so tempted to say..."fucken C###y muncher's"
I have now sent e-mails with "confirmation e-mails attached" to all three of the departments that "seem" to be part of the
process..................process? so we'll see what happens next

there was a thread here somwhere...

its was called "TPG the dirty bastards"

but dont worry, i got signed up to bigpond with the wrong email.

then 3 weeks later a modem arrives (i already had mine) and then a week after that a bill for like 3 times what mine is for another email alltogether. dumbfucks.

The only good thing about TPG is that the ombudsman hates them too. After all the crap I had going with them, that's where it ended up, and that was before anything even got connected. Thankyou iinet, I have had no dramas with you

Checked e-mail this morning and had a message to ring them....
responded "bugger that I'm not spending a fortune on hold again"
They rang within minutes of me sending it
and put me straight on hold for 7 minutes
Seems to be sorted now.............................................we shall see

Best thing when you get someone with a 'different' accent is to ask to transferred to an australian call centre.

Well they get paid the same in Au call centres but I still can't understand them...

You have to admit though, that *IS* funny.

Reminds me, i was on the phone to one of our customers on Monday morning and he complained about not being able to understand one of the other guys i work with. Yes he is indian, but he is so damned easy to understand on the phone, and i've had much more trouble understanding one of the other guys that i was surprised.

I guess it takes all sorts, on both ends of the phone!

But good luck with the arse-ache that is TPG, i'm with iinet too. I know they have a call centre in South Africa for after hours support and one in Perth too (i think they still do), and they are very good to deal with.

iiNet +3

they have the best support out there.

I used to work at TPG, back then I couldn't get $5 out of them for advertising, now the fuckers are everywhere and still all Sydaney based too except for the Indian call centre of course. As for Iinet, never heard a bad word about them.

TPG: Please hold

iinet: We are currently experiencing a long waiting time, if you would like to be called back please press 1. Hang up. Ring.....its iinet

Have to say...I've been with TPG for quite a while now (over 2 years I think) and never had a problem with them. Use the support email and it's usually pretty good....even when I've moved it's been good.

Sorry to hear you're having problems mate

hmmmmm well hope u have better luck with the house now mate all 3 things have gone wrong hay......
