Hours Wasted Fixing Someone Else's Mistakes

My experience with Compare Broadband and their recommended provider, Superloop, has been extremely frustrating.

Compare Broadband initially helped me sign up with Superloop, but somehow connected my internet to the wrong address, despite me providing the correct address on the application. I then had to spend my own time contacting Superloop to get their mistake corrected.

Unfortunately, dealing with Superloop has been even worse. Their phone system repeatedly directs you to an online "live chat", but it's not a real person, it's an AI chatbot that is unable to resolve anything beyond the most basic issues. After wasting a significant amount of time with the chatbot, I eventually got the address corrected.

Now I've discovered I've been overcharged, and I'm back to trying to contact Superloop again. I've called three separate times, waited on hold for over 30 minutes each time, and still haven't spoken to anyone. Every call ends with a message telling you to use the live chat to speak to a "real person", which is simply not true. It's just the same ineffective AI bot that sends you around in circles.

What should have been a simple internet connection has turned into hours of wasted time because of errors and poor customer service. Based on my experience, I would not recommend using Compare Broadband's recommendation of Superloop.

Hi Craig,

Thanks for leaving your feedback. We're very sorry to hear that your order was submitted with the incorrect address and that your experience trying to resolve this with Superloop didn't get any better. 
Having reviewed the application, we confirmed the wrong address was entered due to human error during submission. If there is still a problem, we'd like to help get it sorted.

Our customer service team will call you tomorrow before midday to confirm the status and to help expedite things with Superloop if this is still required. We will also discuss compensating you for your first month of service due to the terrible experience, which really is not the standard we normally deliver.
Kind regards,Compare Broadband Service Team

Compare has enabled a smooth transition…

Compare has enabled a smooth transition to new energy and communications providers that supply service at lower costs to my previous suppliers.
The Compare customer service operator was knowledgeable, efficient, patient and I appreciate the result achieved.

The sales rep was very good

The sales rep was very good, I was informed that I need to provide 30 days notice to my previous provider. However by the end of my phone call with the sales rep, my internet was disconnected; the new provider was unable to assist with the new connection which took the entire evening, despite my modem was unlocked. Subsequently I was told i need a new modem, but the one I was advised to purchase cost between $5-$600 by the new provider. In the end I went back to my previous provider and was back online within 1 hr this morning. .

Hi WM,
Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback, and I'm sorry your switch didn't go as planned.
We reviewed the call and can confirm the correct transfer date was captured, but a processing error caused the disconnection to take effect immediately instead. That was our mistake, and we're sorry for the disruption it caused.
On the modem: compatibility and setup vary between hardware, so it's hard to predict whether it'll be plug-and-play or more involved. That should have been explained clearly on the call, and it wasn't.
We're glad you got back online quickly with your previous provider. We'll use this to tighten up both our transfer process and how we set expectations on modem compatibility going forward.

Kind regards,
Compare Broadband Service Team
