AGL is fine as a energy provider. However, they keep pestering me to swap my phone and internet over to AGL, I've have said no so many times and it is getting very irritating.

Bill Smoothing (fortnightly billing)
I am an AGL client for Gas, electricity and internet. I love the bill smoothing (fortnightly payments) available on gas & electricity, but am disappointed that they do not offer this on internet. As a retiree (and there’s 3.6M on Centrelink fortnightly benefits) budgeting is an integral part of life. I don’t want to have to look around for another internet supplier as AGL service is great, but might be forced to

Been with AGL since 2019
Been with AGL since 2019, they have no care towards loyalty at all, but that isn’t the problem, their online payment system for abn via the app keeps crashing, Enabling the smooth stream of paying and going ahead and adding late fees as I do not feel comfortable paying via sms link. You get staff calling from overseas threatening collection agencies yet when you explain there is an error with their system they have no clue what they are supposed to do to help, POOR SERVICE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE NEVER AGAIN.

Hi R Wardi, We're sorry to hear about your poor experience. We currently do not have any known issues with our payment portal so this could be an isolated issue.

Please connect the gas as soon as possible.
Thank you for quickly connecting the electricity. However, the gas is still in connection in progress. Please connect the gas as soon as possible.

Hi Younkgsik, We're glad to hear that everything went through smoothly with your electricity connection. Usually, it can take up to 15 business days for the gas distributor to provide us with the move-in meter reading done at your property. Once we receive the reading, the AGL app then gets updated to reflect "Connected". Hopefully the gas is connected at your property and you are able to use it. If not, please reach us securely via agl.com.au/contact-us to discuss further. Cheers, Steve

Shady Business Practices
Unfortunately my previous provider went into administration and I automatically got switched to AGL without any notice. When I got my first bill from AGL, I noticed they put me on their highest rate plan. I contacted support and asked them kindly to switch to the better value plan and get my last bill revised as I was switched without given any options. I was declined for a revised bill. I immediately switched to a different provider as I don't value doing business with a company with shady practices.

Hi Phil, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We sincerely apologize for the difficulties you encountered during your transition to AGL. It’s understandably frustrating to be switched without notice and to find yourself on the highest rate plan, especially when you were seeking a more favorable option.
We understand your decision to switch providers and appreciate you giving us the opportunity to address your concerns. If there's anything further we can do to assist you or if you have any questions in the future, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Do not request a connection online
The property was not connected on the date requested and had to follow up multiple times to get the issue rectified. The property was connected two days later. No one on support seemed to no what was going on during the whole process so ended up contacting complaints. Apparently If I had phoned to start the process rather than use online tools, the process would have been smoother

I am sorry to hear about the poor experience with getting your supply connected. I can appreciate how frustrating this would have been to follow up on the connection multiple times and apologise for any inconvenience caused.
We value customer service and getting things right, and it is disheartening to hear that we had missed the mark here.

The worse energy company from good to…
The worse energy company from good to worst in only few years. Their Solar Energy buy back is ridiculous and their fees are abusive.
I produce four times more than I use and. they still charge me double for charcoal energy and buy from me clean energy.
The CEO is completely unfit to manage that company any longer.
