Sales rep lies just to close the deal

The sales agents will do anything just to close the sale even if it includes lying.
The guy named jack, lied about the installation date, because of that I had to move my move-in date 1 week ahead.
I took time off from work and now they are telling me that they need to move it 1 week ahead again.

The whole value add of this business is to make the connection smooth but once they close the deal they say we cant do anything.
Before placing the order Jack told me if you have any hickups call us we will sort that out for you and then he went missing.

Nadya was informative and patient as she explored our situation and current provider's billing arrangements. She found such a good solution for our household that I was truly amazed (and horrified by what I'd been paying a company I wasn't happy with). This is a terrific service that everyone should access at least once per year for phone, internet and energy. Thanks, Nadya and Compare.

Do not trust information given

I changed my electricity bill. The one important aspect I told Compare Broadband was that I wanted quarterly billing......guess what I was put on to a monthly billing plan. DO NOT TRUST THEM.

Reply from Compare Broadband

Hi Pauline,

I'm really sorry to hear about your experience, especially since you were very explicit about the quarterly billing requirement. The error occurred because our sales agent didn't know the customer must request quarterly billing after account setup. We currently can't do this during the order process but are following this up with Alinta to improve the customer experience moving forward. Unfortunately you will need to call Alinta and request quarterly billing. We apologise for the inconvenience.
Kind regards,
Compare Energy Customer service Team

Tim was incredible

Tim was incredible, so knowledgeable, understanding, friendly and professional that I smiled all the way and thoroughly enjoyed what is usually an overwhelming experience. I intended it to be a research call yet Compare Broadbands immediate and comprehensive access to information combined with Tim's exemplary customer service was so great, I signed up for new Broadband AND Electricity providers at huge savings all on the one phone call. Thank you!

Natalie was extremely helpful and made the transfer so easy. Natalie had access to my comparisons online and was able to talk me through the whole process, now saving $324 for a year. The transition to the new provider was done in 5 minutes owing to the fact that the current provider cancelled my internet today and not in 2 days. Thank you so much Natalie. Was a pleasure talking to you.

The process was fine

The process was fine - efficient, but the company Superloop, I was told were the best company for my needs- were awful. Their customer service was appalling. They set up 2 accounts and sent out 2 modems, which I had to send back on my dime(they did end up reimbursing me). The customer service team, all men, were condescending, patronising and gaslit me for issues that were not my fault and didn’t end up resolving anything. I ended up closing my account after less than a month and going with Aussie Broadband, who have been fantastic. Even at the end, I had to call them to get my account number as it is not available on any invoice or through the app. Again, making simple requests complicated. I’ve never experienced the passive aggressive behaviour of an alleged’customer service’ team. Just awful.
The connection however, was very good. I’d rather intermittent connection with better customer service.
