Dodo NBN Internet

I am very happy with my actual NBN internet and Dodo do a decent job with the service and support around it too. I have been with Dodo for many years, because price is reasonable and I have never had any major issues in dealing with them. Their processes are all straight forward and I always get to speak to a human without much time waiting. The… Read more

staff are usually knowledgeable and communicate well. That said, like any service provided by humans, the quality can vary. With a few exceptions over the years, the operators have generally exceeded my expectations however.

Moving to FTTP recently was without hassle to set up through them and the improved speed and stability has been amazing. I am on the NBN 100 plan to ensure I have no issues with working from home and it has been reliable and significantly improved processing time and enabled better video conferencing etc.

Then in the past few weeks, I have done myself an even bigger favour. What seemed like an outage ended up being a hardware failure my side with the internal mechanism in the router that broadcasts the SSID dying. That said, I decided to take the opportunity to upscale my router and got a TP Link Wifi 6 (AX5400) and it made a decent internet even better. Dodo's NBN service seamlessly passes through full wholesale network speed boosts. The connection delivers incredibly consistent, ultra-fast download and upload speeds over Wi-Fi with rock-solid network stability.

Hardware & Connection Setup:

* NBN Connection Type: Fibre to the Premises (FTTP)

* Official Speed Plan: NBN 100

* Router Hardware: TP-Link AX5400 (Wi-Fi 6 Router)

* Test Connection Type: 5GHz Wi-Fi (Wireless)

Speed Test Performance:

* Peak Download Speed: 528.22 Mbps (Significantly exceeding the standard 100 Mbps plan limit due to NBN infrastructure upgrades)

* Sustained Download Speed: 515.38 Mbps * Peak Upload Speed: 46.83 Mbps (Performing at the absolute maximum limit)

* Network Latency (Ping): 9ms – 11ms.

So currently I could not be happier and encourage anyone to consider the benefits of spending a few extra dollars for a good router to get the most out of your connection.

Easy sign up, i was connected in less than 10 minutes. Consistent and fast internet all times of the day.

Came over from TPG after they increased their prices and declined a request to offer me one of their new customer deals, despite being with them for 13 years. Dodo had a less expensive plan with a great signup deal saving me hundreds for the same service, with better upload speed. I've been with Dodo for six months now and have never had a… Read more

problem. Highly recommend them. I'm getting full speed out here in the garage, at peak time, with one bar of Wifi and the family video streaming a movie inside. Very impressed.

I’ve been with Dodo for internet for a while now and honestly it’s been a solid, no‑fuss setup. The install was straightforward, pricing stays competitive especially when you bundle with energy, and the speeds have been reliably steady for everyday stuff like streaming and working from home. Anytime I’ve needed support, they’ve actually been… Read more

responsive. I’ve had a couple of hiccups — the big one was when something knocked out my internet and it turned out to be hardware outside the house — but it was sorted quickly. Overall, I’d recommend them if you want reliable, budget‑friendly internet without the drama.

Stable and fast network speed, price is reasonable, and they also provide reliable service and great discount for us.

Switched to Dodo NBN in 2023 after using years of primary telco providers like Telstra and Optus, speed has also been delivered in excess advertised rates (e.g., actual speeds typically even better than advertised. FYI - this is based on a HFC connection). Their customer service team is excellent and very knowledgeable in areas like modem… Read more

configuration and CGNAT opt-out. Value is the main takeaway, their team are always open to offering competitive re-pricing for loyal customers. Essentially you'll be receiving a faster and reliable NBN service with a meaningful cost savings compared to most Australian providers.

Fantastic service and even better value for money! I had an issue finding a provider to suit our remote location, but Dodo came through. I've been with them for over a year and not a single fault. Very happy.

I will continue to be a customer for Dodo for a long time. The connection is reliable and super fast - speed test attached below. I’m also so appreciative that they are great at communicating any interruptions! I recommend the service.

Internet is the same as my previous provider, no issues, but I'm paying much less.

I have been with Dodo for a number of years now. Firstly started with 50 mbps when my kids were younger band am now on 500mbps astheboys are older and streaming and gaming as teens do. Even so I am able to do everything I need and the service is really stable. If I have ever had an issue it is handled quickly and with a happy service agent. Have recommended to friends because of my experience.

These guys are pretty good - they gave me a very reasonable discount and value for money, having more than one account. It's not worth me switching to any other provider as the rate is permanent and the service and internet is better than what I had before:)

I’ve been with Dodo for over a year now, and I am incredibly happy with the service. I work from home, so daily video calls are a must, and my connection has been perfectly reliable with no noticeable dropouts. What really stood out to me was their proactive customer service. I initially signed up for a more expensive plan, but a few months ago,… Read more

Dodo actually emailed me to recommend downgrading to a cheaper plan based on my average usage. It was a refreshing, honest approach that helped me save money on my internet bill. I realized I was paying for extra speed I simply didn't need, and since the downgrade, I haven't noticed any drop in performance. The delivered speed is exactly as they promote it (I have 25/10)

On the one occasion I needed technical support, the issue was resolved within minutes. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a dependable Internet.

Perfect for what I need- Netflix, Facebook, Google, kids playing games

Have no problems since I changed to Dodo a few months ago. Speeed is as promised, this speed test was taken at Midday

I've been using dodo for a while now, was on a standard nbn plan but was offered to upgrade to the newer faster nbn plans. Dodo scheduled the upgrade which was done fast and easy and I was up and running on the new faster nbn plan also discounted. It has been fast and reliable with no lag or drop outs and has definitely made life a bit easier… Read more

with kids that love to enjoy some down time gaming or streaming. Very happy with the service I receive from dodo and would happily recommend them to anyone unsure of which provider to use. Thanks Dodo

I’ve been using Dodo NBN 500 and have had a really positive experience so far. The connection is consistently fast and reliable, even with multiple devices connected at the same time. Streaming in 4K, online gaming, and working from home all run smoothly without any noticeable lag or dropouts. The setup process was straightforward, and the speeds… Read more

I’ve been getting are close to what’s advertised. Customer service has also been helpful whenever I’ve needed assistance.

Overall, Dodo’s NBN 500 plan offers excellent value for money. If you’re looking for a fast, dependable internet connection at a competitive price, I’d definitely recommend giving it a try.

First off I should say Dodo is trying to pay off people to leave a good review because they offered a $1000 prize in an email and that’s why I’m here to just tell the truth and forfeit my chance to win. DO NOT get internet with Dodo. DO NOT believe the overly positive reviews, they are after prize money. You will find it extremely difficult to… Read more

contact a human if you ever need to contact them, which you will if the power goes out at your house. If you get hold of a human, you won’t be able to understand them unless you are Filipino. The only way you can contact them is via the Telecommunication Ombudsman. It will take a couple of days but you will get a manager to help you. It’s the only way I contact them now. Now, if the power goes out at your house, the modem triggers something on their end to cut off the internet. I have contacted the ombudsman 3 times and every time they talk some rubbish, get me to turn the modem on/off (duh it’s the first thing you do if not multiple times) the internet magically starts working again.

I jumped on the NBN500 bandwagon because I was curious about high speed and with the same price as NBN100, it's the perfect time to try. The changeover process from Superloop to Dodo was okay with minimal fuss. The speed was pretty good and hardly any outages, but I live in the metro area and all my previous NBN providers had no issues with… Read more

speed and unexpected outages either. So I think I'm also just lucky with the infrastructure. In my dealings with Dodo, I used their phone, live chat and email feedback services, they all replied courteously and promptly. Generally Dodo is a pretty good NBN provider.

There are just two small pieces of feedback I have about Dodo: 1. Lack of email invoices. Dodo relies extremely heavily on their mobile app. All monthly invoices only appear on their app with no option for an emailed copy. So I have to separately remember to download the invoice for my own financial records. This differs from all my previous NBN providers such as Aussie broadband, Superloop etc, which offered emailed invoice for easy reference. I actually emailed this feedback to Dodo, as I don't think it's very hard to set up sending bulk email in this day and age, but despite the nicely worded reply, Dodo has no plans for such a change.

2. Inconvenience of the Dodo app. As they rely so heavily on their app, it's extremely annoying that you have to sign in each time on iPhone, unlike some other NBN provider apps which scans your Face ID and remembers your login. I could take a sign-in every few months for security reasons, but every time?! I mean, even my driver's license app opens with just Face ID, what's so top secret about my NBN account? It's really a hassle, maybe that's their set-and-forget strategy! In fact, I did forget about change plans/providers once their 6-month discount period is up, so they were very successful if that's their plan. Also, their invoices don't record your AVC ID unlike my previous providers. So to change to a new provider, it's another sign-in onto their app just to find it.

On the upside, as everything is on their app, it's actually super easy to cancel their service on the app. I noticed some reviews mentioned long wait on the phone, but the cancel process is a few clicks on the app. Please note, they do require a minimum of 30 days' notice for cancellation.

Another great service Dodo provided was that they actually sent me an email recommending I downgrade my plan. Since I only wanted to try NBN500 and hadn't upgraded my router to Wifi 7, I never reached NBN500's speed with my older hardware and my VPN (which adds another speed bump). I managed to average download speed of about 260Mbps with an upload speed of 40Mbps on Wifi 5 (802.11ac) router. During peak hours, my download speed have dropped to about 220Mbps at times. Previously I was on NBN50, and honestly, I really didn't feel that much of a difference in my everyday web browsing experience. The only time I celebrated the faster speed was when I was downloading large files, the green bar filled up satisfyingly fast. The fact that Dodo picked up on that and notified me about potential savings was very loyalty-inspiring.

A dodo, ain't they extinct?! Well this NBN internet feels at time endangered cause it is one of a kind, stand alone among the other flightless internets. My rating is 4/5, it is somewhat reliable internet however Dodo can't offer an emergency service, maybe cause of their small little wings, idk. But regardless of outages dodo rep's are always ready to squark in supportive service to resolve any difficulties.
