fully customizable without being complicated. The customer portal is easy to use and gives you full access to everything you need without having to call support for basic changes. On the occasions I have needed help, their tech support has been excellent, quick, knowledgeable and actually useful. It’s a great system and I’m very happy with it.

Beyond 5 Stars! – I've been with Australian Phone Company for many years for my business, and their support has been exceptional in every way. The service is excellent, and both phone and email support are equally fantastic! I couldn't be happier—highly recommended!

Avoid Optus. Landline not ported for 2 months. Only resolved with escalation to TIO and ACCC – Optus failed to complete the porting of a landline number held for over 20 years, despite repeated requests. Multiple Optus staff provided incorrect… Read more

information, stating porting was "not possible" to the new carrier, even after being reminded of Optus' Local Number Portability Code obligations. Optus' suggested solution was to create a new landline number! Escalation to Optus' Customer Resolution Team (sic) was ineffective. The inability to receive and make calls persisted for two months, creating immense stress for an elderly customer and the landline was only ported after escalation to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (failure to comply with the Code) and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (anti-competitive behaviour), along with follow-up by the new carrier.

providers, i now have multiple phone lines set up running smoothly through a easy to manage system and fabulous help. But ending my service from Faktortel has been very frustrating not only did i get billed last month when i have no active lines, I phoned up and canceled my service to then have a email state i must give 30 days notice to cancel, ( i have checked through my original paper work 8 years ago, this is not stated. In which i was given the impression there would possibly be a refund on funds unused, However i have just received another account after speaking to the account department, i am to be billed last month. this month and next month for a service that i have no active lines with....I have no service, no phone numbers, and no product.Yes and still being charged. I cannot seem to get them to cancel my account and they just want to keep taking money out! What the hell. BEWARE!!!!!! So dodgy!!!

access for five days. Had nearly daily communications with tec support staff numerous times a day and still not resolved. The communications with the tec staff are a nightmare. The line is crackling, words are cut off and I spend hours without resolving anything. Yesterday afternoon , after I called another number, I was told that there is a network degradation and they don’t know when it will be fixed. And yes, the person on the line told me to Inform them when I am back on line for reimbursement, but this is not the point. I need reliable internet access. And I cannot believe that a communication provider has such bad phone lines and tec support.

by people who just don't care. The saga of how they failed to simply transfer 1 x telephone line with internet service from one suburb to another after 3 months is staggering. They clearly are making so much money they have forgotten about the little guys. All I got from Telstra was a runaround through different so-called support centres. Pathetic.

Charge a bit more which I get because they arent as big as some others but doesnt appear to be any additional service from the extra cost.

Check terms carefully as they sneek thing in the contract last minute.

Customer support is lacking Account manager often doesnt return emails (does return calls though) Will say things verbally that they will never honor (get everything in writing)

Modems. When ready to connect, called and advised nothing was coming into the house, they had me running around looking for a white box, all the while, they had not contacted Opticomm to connect the property. Shocking to say the least. Was extremely dissappointed, had to go out and buy a starlink so I could work from home. Now, I have contacted Aussie Broadband, and tomorrow Opticomm will come to the property and switch me on, they knew exactly what was needed to get me started. So unfortunately, if anyone asks me about Leaptel, there will be nothing nice to say.

practice in Sydney, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The connection speed and reliability of the fibre broadband are second to none, even during peak hours, ensuring that both my personal and professional activities run smoothly. The 5G mobile service has been a game-changer for me, providing seamless connectivity wherever I am, whether I'm at home or out and about.

What truly stands out is the 3CX phone system, which is fully supported by Best Telecom Digital. This system allows me to manage my practice’s communications effortlessly from anywhere in the world. Whether I’m at the clinic or traveling, I can stay connected to my team and patients without any interruptions.

The customer service has been exceptional as well—whenever I’ve had a question or needed assistance, the team at Best Telecom Digital has been quick to respond and always goes above and beyond to ensure everything runs perfectly. I highly recommend their services for anyone in need of reliable broadband and mobile connectivity, especially if you require the flexibility to manage your business and communications remotely. Best Telecom Digital has truly transformed the way I work and stay connected!
