Cancelled my account in Feb - I’m still being charged.
Ive tried to call the customer service team for the last 2 weeks to discuss this matter, however given the current call volumes I’ve been disconnected twice after an hour. After sending several emails I even received an email from the customer service team advising I would receive a call back on a specified date between 8am and 8pm. The call never came.
I cancelled my internet service in February and moved to a new provider due to ongoing bandwidth issues over the course of 12 months. For some reason I’m still being charged for a service I was...Read more
told was cancelled. I was advised by one of the phone operators that when I cancelled I was a month in front as you pay one month in advance with your first payment - for this reason no further payment was required at the end of the cycle. I’ve had to work with my bank to cancel Kogan from taking any further funds from my account as they continue to debit the account. They’ve now sent me a Kogan bill for a credit to my internet service WHICH IS CANCELLED. Absolutely hopeless. Do not sign with this company - customer service is non existent. It’s just not worth the nightmare of dealing which such a poor excuse of a business. And to the Kogan Customer Service team - please don’t reply to this with your ‘copy and paste’ response. That’s just further insult to an already unsatisfactory experience.2 comments

No service, how can a company operate like this?
I had signed up with Kogan internet 2 weeks ago. Firstly the modem I purchased has still not arrived and I have tried to track through Australia Post but it doesn’t seem to be moving since it was dispatched from Kogan. I have tried the 1300 010 400 number with no answer and the website help function is less than user friendly. Today I received an email regarding a impending direct debit for a service which I have not been able to access. I am starting to regret signing up with Kogan as it seems they have little regard for the needs of their cus...Read more
tomers and the conduct I have received is less than disrespectful. It is hard to believe that their call centres are understaffed and this treatment is starting to feel like some kind of scam. I expect that Ross who seems to be answering all of the complaints on this site should be contacting all concerned who have made complaints directly instead of using a boiler plate response for all Enquiries. Very poor conduct Kogan Internet and be sure that I will be contacting the ombudsman.1 comment

I can’t cancel my month-to-month plan.
I’ve been trying to reach out the customer centre, waiting for over one hour for several times to cancel my plan and couldn’t get through. How disrespectful!! I would never recommend Kogan as an internet provider. It takes less than 10 min to hiring the service and a life to get rid of it. If you don’t have enough staff working at the moment, give us the option to cancel the service on line.

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!

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.

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!
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.

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.

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.

Horrible support and service
My Kogan NBN service has stopped for almost a week now.
Because of the Corona virus I am working from home. I have looked at their website to find a solution but am unavle to. I have tried to call their technical service, customer support etc. Non of the numbers work and they simply have a voice mail message refering me back to the website.
I desperately need internet access but am unable to get any support from Kogan.
What a horrible service!!!!

Cheap but slow - could be Covid19 to blame???
Finding it a bit slow lately but I'm guessing that's not Kogan so much as the load with people staying home. Before the last few weeks I didn't have an issue.

No idea what's happening
I received a text message & email saying my NBN is up and running, however I have no modem yet - I'm very confused as I have heard nothing from Kogan about tracking information or when it will arrive. So they have taken my money but I can't actually use the internet I called the 1300 number and was on hold for 57 minutes.
With or without covid 19 I'm so surprised at how poor there process is. I can't communicate with anyone.
Kogan being an online retailer I thought they would have an online messaging system for customer service, its so frustrating being in the dark- I instantly regret this decision.
UPDATE!
I called 3 times today was on hold for an hour each time with never getting through
So I have published this review.

Deplorable customer service
Kogan have disconnected my service as i have been trying to call for over 2 weeks now and i am put on hold for a minimum of 1 hour before i am disconnected. I have wasted approx 12 hours of my precious time on hold waiting to pay my bill as there are no more avenues to pay the bill other than the 1300 number. What a disgrace Kogan i will be disconnecting my service and reconnecting with a professional internet provider.

Questions & Answers
Terris Leeasked
How long the internet can work after I buy the package?
2 answers
From my experience, the time it can take for the NBN connection to become active is about 5 working days. A little longer if you need to get cut over from non NBN technology. The order has to be submitted to NBN Co. for activation.
I had my NBN box installed with Kogan last Friday. Having been told that it would take until the end of the day to connect, that was revised daily until I was told yesterday it will be February 2020 because of cabling issues. Because the box was installed it has also cut the ADSL2 line so I now have nothing. This is where Kogan are really poor. They have no resolution team and just say it's not their fault. I wish I had gone with another provider. I would likely have the same NBN issue but perhaps an interim solution to get me through.
Pasanasked
How long does it take to get connected for the first time? I'm waiting about a week now without a text or email other than first mail confirmation. I'm moving from Telstra to Koganinternet. Am I too late to read reviews, I feel bad when I read reviews about their service. Any idea, how long?
For almost 3 weeks i have been calling and asking for assistance to resolve the performance issues with my NBN, which is almost impossible to use. I notice you keep billing me bit don't seem to won't to fix the issue.
Do i need to go to the telecommunications ombudsmen to get a result?
