Use another company
I have been trying to call Kogan for two weeks. They sent me an email saying i had to update my credit card and would be charged extra. It is impossible to contact them.
There are lots of people out of work due to COVID-19, Kogan - you should employ them.

Absent Customer Service
I totally understand the issues concerning Covid. However there is no simple option to update billing details. I have been calling for nearly 2 weeks. Every time on hold for over an hour, other times the call has not gone through. I need the internet for work and do not want to pay $15 or lose my connection just because no one answers my call. It is astounding there is no BPAY or online option to update our customer details.
When I finally did get through the customer service assistant told me she could not update my details she told me to call back in two weeks. It’s been two weeks and every time I call no one picks up or I am on hold for 1hr+. Absurd!

pleting important work from home. I get the message that only critical calls are being answered, surely customer payments (to ensure a connection is maintained and a late fee avoided) is critical absent any other avenue of payment?

STAY AWAY!!
Service does not exist, after many hours on hold to be disconnected serveral times, I have yet to speak to anyone! Speeds are terrible. Trying to cancel my service, have had to get the bank to block their automatic transaction. Save yourself the hassle.
Later decided to sign up with Mate. Order placed online, within 24hrs they had me activated on a spare port! Speeds are fantastic and service is local (altough havent had to contact them yet).

NBN Works but No Customer Support
Unfortunately, changing of credit card details is so difficult with this company as they put you through to their Kogan Customer Call Centre which is almost non-existent at the moment! I wish Kogan would make a login page to do some things on their own, or perhaps allow customers to change direct debit details via email.

Charged $20 extra and can't contact anyone to resolve the issue
The service is reliable but the billing service and contacting for support is awful! I looked at my last bill and noticed I was charged $70 for a $58 service. The service is for my dad and is adequate and affordable for his needs. I tried to call to resolve the matter, i selected my options, listened to a recorded message explaining that Kogan will be dealing with issues such as no connection, lost or stolen gear as a priority only, and waited and waited, then hung up. Kogan really need to expand it's support service and make available other fo...Read more
rms for contact. The fact that I can't get a call back and have to wait for ages (only to be cut off) is frustrating to say the least and the nightmare website's help options are unhelpful. I have found the support service to be frustrating even before COVID-19. Just a note the service at my home is with a local company, no issues at all! I'm switching today! and don't come chasing me Kogan, I am in credit .3 comments

Had nbn connected at new home. No working internet from KOGAN.
Cannot get hold of anyone at customer service or a response via email...
Trying to work from home but have no internet connection. Putting my job and livelihood at risk.
Understand the whole COVID situation but the recorded message on the phone is saying they are prioritising people with no internet connection. This can’t be the case when you are on hold for 2 hours and get disconnected. Called. Numerous times with same result!!!!!!

Best provider I've ever used
Been with Kogan for a few years now and across several households I've rented. Have had no major issues with my connection, speed or with their customer service. In the 1 instance I had a drop out I was onto a staff member and had the issue resolved within an hour. Absolutely fantastic. The router Kogan provided (which was free at the time) runs like a charm, and is far better than the paid offerings I have the displeasure of using from other ISPs.
Even during these current times with the added load and congestion, I have received no negative ...Read more
impact to my internet speed which clocks a consistent 45 Mbps down and 18 Mbps up regardless of the time of day. I have recommended them to friends and family who report no issues and fantastic performance. Only real complaint I have is that I wish Kogan offered some sort of bundling deal, as I am with them for my power and gas yet receive no discount.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Worst customer service
I have recently connected with Kogan to the NBN after about 4 hours after my NBN was installed it stopped working. I spent 2 days trying to contact Kogan on 1300 010 400. On 3 occasions I spent over 1 hour waiting with no one answering my call.
I then started looking for an alternative company to help me access the NBN. I contacted Launtel who responded within minutes and set up an NBN account with them. They helped to organize a techie to come out and fix the problem I was having with the NBN. My NBN connection is now running smoothly with La...Read more

The lack of the ability to contact Kogan to solve or discuss issues was and is terrible. I encourage people to look elsewhere for there broadband. Regards, Tom2 comments

Can't talk to anyone to cancel!
I had bad/ no internet for weeks and couldn't get through to anyone to solve it. Eventually decided to cancel and couldn't get through to anyone to cancel! I listened to hold music twice a day for 2 weeks and it just timed out at over an hour and hung up. Really poor customer service, and no assistance available when the internet is down.

Gold ? Way below expectations.
My experiences, (which are very similar to others on this forum shows) that the collective treatment of customers is way below expectations. That there is no customer service because of call centre issues to do with a pandemic I can understand. That there are people from Kogan who monitor and respond on this forum whilst not changing their actual voicemail over 10 days and let this sham continue and let phones ring out for many people is disrespectful to all of our times and begs further explanation and honesty.

Is there any phone support personal left in the company? How is it possible to not answer for 2 hours?
Waited on the line for 2 hours today without anyone responding to the support call.
I can understand Covid-19 has an impact on businesses, but surely support team can work remotely from home and continue to respond on the phone calls. It is not acceptable service, if you need more people - please hire them, or your brand will be ruined forever with such a bad service.

Took out a new order and not been able to contact call centre. Got a call back and understand the call centre was off shore and now closed down temporarily due to COVID 19. Great guy from Tassie call who is a programmer and i am now all good. Interesting times and tough on business, communication is the key and the lack of it is frustrating customers.

Extremely poor customer service
Our Kogan internet was down since last night. I called Kogan internet customer service so many times and waited on the phone for hours but couldn't get through. I actually relied on the internet to work during the period of COVID 19! There doesn't have anyone at the call centre. Worst experience ever!!!

Non-existent customer service
Been with Kogan Internet for 6 months. During that time, no issues but now I'm moving house and have tried calling the call centre 1300 010 400 most days for the last week. Ive waited up to 1hr10mins twice, both times the phone automatically hangs up.
I contacted the Kogan.com facebook page, where a representative told me to start a ticket at help.kogan.com. After doing this, I got a response saying Kogan.com cant access Kogan Internet and I need to call the 1300 010 400 number again.
Tried emailing [email protected] yesterday, no response.
By now, im ready to quit Kogan internet when I move but i cant even get onto anyone to do that!
Next step will be the Ombudsman

Questions & Answers
홍석 조.asked
Suddenly, more money has been charged since two months ago. Even if I make an online inquiry from 2 weeks ago, they have not answered. Maybe there is no online support team. How do I cancel the internet? Is it possible to cancel? How long does it take to terminate? If I apply for termination, is it canceled from that day? Or will it be the day when the internet disconnect?

Have received my NBN box and Kogan modem and connected all. All 4 blue lights are working on NBN box. The Modem is working and i can connect to it and changed the to Dynamic IP as suggested in troubleshooting but no internet signal. Instructions say i would get a text when all connected which i haven't received. Do Kogan need to flick a switch or is there anything else i can do, call centre not an option.
