Watch out - they quietly switch you to more expensive plans
Customer service staff don’t listen or try to understand the problem, don’t know their product, tried to sneakily shift us onto a much more expensive plan two days after our plan started. When we raised it with them they blamed it on an automation and the government (when it was simply an AGL administrative error). Three customer service representatives and two hours later we were finally back on the plans we’d originally signed up for. Avoid them if you can.

Dear AGL Team,
Dear AGL Team,
I would like to share my recent experience, which has been very disappointing. I ordered electricity under my name, but it was set up under my wife’s name instead. Similarly, the gas order I placed under my wife’s name did not go through, and the reverse happened.
In addition, I applied for AGL Internet. First, I received the wrong router, which I had to return. Since then, I have been waiting for the correct router and an internet connection for over a week. Each time I follow up, I am told that AGL has a TAT to respond, but as a customer, what matters most is timely service delivery.
I would strongly suggest focusing on improving service quality and customer experience, rather than just response timelines, TAT, to ensure clients don’t feel the need to switch to other providers who can deliver more reliably.
Sincerely,
Khan

Hello Jimmy,
I sincerely apologise for the experience you've encountered. Having to communicate with nine different agents and file complaints without receiving any resolution or follow-up must be incredibly frustrating and disappointing for you.
This does not reflect the level of service we strive to deliver. Could you please send us a private message through the AGL Facebook page? This will allow us to get further details to escalate your feedback to our senior team, who can urgently address your online service login issue and ensure that someone reaches out to you directly for a resolution.
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention, and I apologise once more for the inconvenience you've faced.

4 hours of electricity cost me $183.38?????
I recently had electricity connected to my investment house so that a cleaner could go in to get it ready for sale, a period of 4 hours which I can prove with invoices from the cleaner. The key was picked up and delivered back to my estate agent both times, so they can verify these times also.
Counting an connection fee I was charged $183.38 supposedly from an actual meter reading.
I was told that even though there was no other usage of electricity I was being charged a daily supply charge AND a Re-energisation rate, which brought the total to the above amount.
I immediately told them to cancel my account and was told that I would receive another disconnect fee of $44 (fair enough on that one). However no negotiation on the rest of the bill.
Definitely one for the Ombudsman!

Hi Karlene,
Thanks for reaching out, and I’m truly sorry to hear about the negative experience you've had with your account.
We completely understand how frustrating and disappointing it can be when things don’t go as expected, especially when unexpected fees are involved.
Regarding the connection fee, this charge is set by the energy distributor in your area, not by AGL. If your meter isn’t a smart meter, the fees can be higher, as a manual connection may be required. The exact cost can vary depending on which distributor services your location.
We know these charges can be confusing, and we're here to help you make sense of them. If you'd like, we can look further into your account details and clarify the specific charges applied.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out directly, or you can view more about fees and charges at agl.com.au/contact-us.

AGL a bloody disgrace
I changed to AGL because I was fed up with my $350 per month electricity bill with my previously long term supplier. Very first bill from AGL was $650. Bloody disgusting.
Gas went from $250 per two months with previous supplier to $360 for two months with AGL. (No change in usage)
Also within a month of switching to AGL I received letters for gas and electricity stating an 8.5% increase.
You are absolutely Disgusting AGL and disgusting all those compare the market companies that trick people to change to AGL.

Complaint
My wife Called AGL internet,spoken to Ryan from the telco side who transfer me to the internet department , Jothi who doesn’t seem helpful at all , she continues to repeat the same info and does not want to provide the answers to the questions asked. She then wants to quickly transfer to the expert team and put me on hold for extended periods and did not perform any warm transfer and the line went mute despite still being connected which clearly indicate call avoidance from her. after muting the call for more than 30mins ,she say she couldn’t connect the call .. imagine the frustration ..I’m not sure if she’s capable to service Cx properly .just such a poor customer service experience which did not result in any good outcomes for the Cx.

Scummy marketing behaviour
I used to be a customer 2 years ago, and had decent enough service during that period.
Since moving states and to another provider, they have incessantly pushed marketing copy to me, despite asking various times to be put on a do not call list.

Electricity hike with AGL
I have had my electricity with AGL for some time now. I live on my own and the Government rebate of $1000 has been a great support. I still have just over $300 left which will make life easier. Recently they sent a notification that the rate will rise from 1 July. The change is significant in my view:
General Usage from 31.37 to 34.92 c/kWh
and
Daily supply from 119.19 to 136.13 c/day
This will eat into my rebate much more quickly! I told them that this change should begin when my government rebate is NIL as others have had the benefit of their full rebates. I'm not sure how many are in the same boat as myself. But this proposal was met with Deaf Ears. Times are tough and it would be nice to be heard and listened to. To all those who got free Netflix (of which I didn't) I think you've been conned. They wanted you to switch to them and they are probably one of the most expensive providers!
