Re: Swapping to AGL NBN - no warning for cutover - it just died at peak time

It really is hit and miss. It's fairly obvious they have not integrated their internet service into their billing, their website, their app - anything.From looking at the history, they only recently bought what was a good local government co-op from regional NSW, but in trying to scale up to metro, they don't seem to have anything right because they just don't have the telco experience running change management, getting consistent staff training, etc, etc.Bills arrive in my email, but I can't p ...

Swapping to AGL NBN - no warning for cutover - it just died at peak time

Swapping NBN from TPG to AGL.
