Worst experience ever, when first connect they didnt follow my instructions and connect earlier than my request date, they even didnt communicate to disconnect my previous supplier so then i have to pay both, and once they suggest me disconnect the previous supplier they couldnt make the Internet work! so I dont have internet for 3 days. Then… Read more

after two months horrible experience i disconnect with them, once I got their month bill, i comunicate them for update the new bill as I disconnect them and only used 3 days, they need update the bill then I can pay, but they say they will do it after the month finish, then they charge me extra later payment fee $10, when i try to connect obline i always on the queue for 30mins, i tried 3 times but the website need me watch the screen all the time otherwise i will be disconnect for the chat..then i just paid those amount and get rid of them.It is just an awful experience with AGL Internet.

​I strongly advise against using AGL Internet. The internet drops out constantly, making it practically unusable. When you call support to resolve the issue, you are left waiting on hold for hours. Once you finally get through, the customer service is unprofessional, unhelpful, and shows zero urgency to fix ongoing faults. Save yourself the headache and choose a different provider.

I was paying a hefty price of $94 a month for their so called, “Home Fast” plan. 500/50, allegedly. I never once, ever got these speeds. In fact, my PC which was only 6 metres away from the wifi router, would consistently only receive download speeds of 6-12mbs. Speed tests standing literally next to the modem, were lucky to go over 100mbs. To… Read more

say their service was bad is an understatement. I was double charged for a month and they refused to admit it and refund me, up to the point that managerial staff finally reviewed the case and provided a refund.

I’m now with TPG and what a surprise, I get OVER 500mbs from them consistently, on basically the same plan, but am charged a lot less.

Take it from my experience. Not only are they not worth it, but other providers will give you what they advertise and charge you less.

Stay away. I will never, ever use AGL again.

This is honestly ridiculous from AGL Energy. Charging the same price for NBN 100/20 and NBN 500/50 is a joke. How does that even make sense? Either the faster plan is massively underpriced (unlikely), or the slower plan is straight-up overpriced. And we all know which one it is. This kind of pricing feels like a deliberate trap. People who don’t… Read more

understand internet speeds properly are going to end up paying $92 for 100/20, while others get 500/50 for the same price. That’s not a “bundle offer,” that’s taking advantage of customers.

Big corporations pull this kind of stunt all the time, dress it up as a deal, throw in some flashy wording like “credit” and “bundle,” and hope no one looks too closely. It’s shady, plain and simple.

At the end of the day, this isn’t about value; it’s about squeezing money out of people who don’t know better. Feels less like a service and more like a cash grab.

Trying to get my internet connected at new property has been a nightmare. First, AGL sent my modem to my old address (which I've had to track down and get back via real estate agent as AGL refused to send a replacement).

one guy sending me this text to "clarify". When I told the guy it didn't make sense he said "then ma'am I just cannot help you" and hung up on me but like whattt lol.

until it's a week gone past, then you get overseas call centres with accents that you cant understand , hopefully a class action case is taken against this sub par business, how do they deal with the issues? They act like you don't know how to use your modem or router, makes me laugh as I've had more IT experience than their call team combined who have no clue, obviously everyone has issues with ISP's from time to time but AGL suck at communicating anything, will have a new internet AND electricity provider Asap -ps I do not want an AGL damage control bot replying to this statement.. this is information for people looking to make a better choice not for you to act like your business cares

They replaced the device, and their communication was really clear and soft-spoken. They were incredibly professional and provided top-notch service.

Spoke to AGL Telco team afterwards multiple times to schedule & confirm activation dates for 19/06/2026 and 23/06/2026 respectively.

these 2 dates. Received nothing from AGL by 20/06/2026, only to be told it requires 72hrs for NBN to process so need to wait for another 72hrs from 19/06/2026 and 23/06/2026. Why is this info not shared by sales team in all of the phone conversations previously???? Where does that leave the customers in term of a complete lack of internet for 72hrs???

Initially through the 'honeymoon' period all was well on a 500/50 plan, then once that time passed they tried to switch my plan to Home Fast 87/18 without consultation and despite my premises being FTTP. The new plan is inexplicably $20 per month MORE for a far inferior service. No response when I tried an online chat to see if it was an error. Have changed to a new provider as these jokers are scammers and should be held to account by the ACCC. Show details

We’ve been with AGL for about four years, and it’s been frustrating the whole time. From the start, setting up our account took three days and a lot of calls. No one really explained things clearly, and it felt like we had to chase everything ourselves. More recently, our internet plan was changed from NBN 500 to NBN 87 without telling us, but we… Read more

were still charged $104 for the slower plan. We first signed up for gas and electricity, then added internet later, but the internet ended up on a separate account. We’ve asked a few times to fix this, but it still hasn’t been sorted, so we havent been able to access our internet account since. We’ve switched to another provider now. The internet was unreliable, with dropouts, and support didn’t help much when we had issues. I wouldn’t recommend AGL internet.

I have had very poor internet download speeds for a few weeks and decided to contact AGL Tech support. I waited for about 20mins before someone eventually answered. The person was of the Indian subcontinent and was a little difficult to understand but that was fine. The issue occurred when this person requested I open up a website speedtest.com… Read more

and click on any of the buttons, not a specific one, anyone. At this point alarms went off and warning stating do not turn of your computer went through the speakers, so I immediately turned everything off and saved the computer which was important as i work from home. If I'm honest I do geta tinge of distrust when I hear that nationality on the phone and this is simply due to the abhorrent number of scam calls from the Indian subcontinent. What I did not expect is the tech support from a company I am obtaining services through actually try to scam me. I checked the speedtest.com website and it stated this web site is very dodgy. I will be getting rid of AGL Internet and never dealing with them again.

I have been with AGL electricity and internet for years now and have always been happy with the service except for the last couple of months. We moved house and AGL was reconnected for electricity, gas and internet. Which means they have the correct address details on file. There was an issue with the Wi-Fi signal and when I called, I was advised… Read more

to buy a second modem as an extender, which I found out later was the wrong advice and on top of this they sent the modem to our old address even after confirming our current address twice over the phone. Well, then I called again about this, and they sent a second modem to our new address. After all this back and forth I had to go buy an extender anyway. Surprise surprise! I get a bill from AGL to pay for both modems and they are refusing to take the first modem which was sent to the wrong address off the bill without it being returned to them. I no-longer had access to this property, since moving out. I had to call three-four times to have the bill issue resolved, even though the calls are recorded I had to explain the whole issue from the beginning each time. Finally, I was put through to the escalation team and was asked to provide a statutory declaration, which I did on the same day but had to follow up again as there was no response for a week. The whole issue went on for about a good one and half months and was resolved because I kept calling and refusing to pay or take blame for their error. I'm just disappointed in the service provided and time wasting. I understand that AGL is one of the cheaper service providers but “you get what you pay for” shouldn’t be the service model.
