It was extremely easy to switch over. My connection was completed within hours of requesting to change. I spoke to a very helpful person whom I understood completely. The communication was very fast, helpful and explicit. No interruptions to my service. The app is very user friendly and has a lot of information that is very easy to find. Effortless.

Power supply for the NTD box (owned by Opiticom, previously Telstra) failed causing loss of service. Contacted Aussie Broadband who arranged an appointment with Opitcom technician two days after the issue. Technician did not attend in the 8-12 am agreed time. Contacted Aussie Broadband again (another 20 minutes wait to speak with someone) AB… Read more
contacted Opiticom again and was advised that the next available appointment was about 3 weeks away. Problem is with Opticom but AB needs to address the obvious problem with Opticoms response times
Honestly, I wouldn’t touch Aussie Broadband with a ten-foot pole, absolute joke of a service! The internet speed is painfully slow, and they don’t deliver what they promise. And if you need to contact customer support, good bloody luck! You’ll be stuck on hold for at least an hour, and even then, there’s no guarantee they’ll actually sort your… Read more
issue out. All talk, no delivery. Save yourself the headache and take your business elsewhere. Avoid these blokes at all costs!

Very fast and efficient process. No hitches. Excellent communication. Not the cheapest in the market but has a good reputation & Australian Call Centres with fast & friendly service. Only connected yesterday. Download speed between 50 and 51 but upload speed well off the mark at between 4 and 5 when it should be 20 but my uploads were negligible in the 24hrs so we need more time to assess. Overall could not ask for more. Well done Aussie Show details · 1
Aussie Broadband has taken over Southern Phones internet users. In the merger Southern Phone internet users are losing a large portion of their internet usage that has been paid for. In my case I've paid up to the 11/09/26 however according to Aussie Broadband I'm now only paid up to the 01/09/26. I contacted ABB to question the discrepancy but… Read more
the call centre was disinterested in my complaint to the extent he asked whether I wished to cancel my service now ( see attached scans). It's just another example of an internet/phone provider disregarding a legal contract in the pursuit of their corporate gain. Another trip to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman.
Previously loved Aussie Broadband, that is until I moved and was informed after signing up that the 100 mbs FTTN service wasn't available and I was advised to reduce my plan to the 50 mbs the area can support to save money, I followed their advice and contacted Aussie to reduce my plan down to the supported 50/20 mbs. Then I got the email from… Read more
Aussie. Aussie price their 50 & 100 mbs plans at the same rate, there is no benefit to reducing the plan, I get charged the same rate and receive less than half the speed I got when living two streets away
If you are on the 50 mbs you are paying the same and receiving half the service, Aussie are intentionally ripping off customers.
When I queried Aussie they told me, no other service provider would be able to offer higher speeds in my area (Starlink can)
I thought Aussie was a good ethical company. Now I know they are just another grubby ISP with no integrity who rip off customers at every opportunity

Fantastic company so far. I called them, stated my issues with Optus and that I was keen to transfer to them as my new Internet provider. Sent me a modem (which is a GREAT modem - easiest set up ever, took my 5 mins or less) and done!! Three weeks of hell from Optus and I had a fantastic experience with Aussie Broadband. Modem works perfect,… Read more · 1
customer service was a solid 10, great communication and the modem was sent and delivered in less than a week.

dongle. I contacted Aussie broadband and was able to return it for credit. It was easy to speak to someone and I was pleased with the outcome.
Follow-up · The return process was smooth, and my account was in credit until the funds were returned to my bank account. I bought a TP Link router from Officeworks which works well with everything on my home network, was easy to install, it’s quite small and is unobtrusive.

I have been a loyal AB customer for many years. Sadly, I have to leave to go with another ISP offering 500/50 for the same price of my 50/20 plan. I wish AB well and would be happy to return if their plans become more competitive. Show details · 1

First of all, here is my refer a friend number that you can use to get $50 off your first bill. 14819759 I have been with Aussie broadband for nearly 2 years now and absolutely love it. No problems whatsoever with the speed and drop out. A little bit expensive from my opinion but all in all worth your every dollars spent and you can also get credit from referring your friends.

We upgraded to an internet extender when starting- but it didn't work. Hubby spent days and days on it, and he works in IT. We repeatedly rang customer service and got checklists of things we had to do before it could progress. We spent hours and hours on the phone but every time we rang they never had records of the previous conversations and… Read more
often wouldn't believe me. Paid an IT guy to come out. After 18 months and a lot of frustration they finally credited me after I cried on the phone (and even that phone call took an hour). Bought a plug in extender and was done in a few minutes. Today I cancelled. When I asked for a credit i was told that he "can put a request in". For a "no lock in contact" provider I got a credit of $15 for most of a month. So I assume there's a large fee for cancelling. I do not recommend.
I was formerly very happy with Aussie Broadband. I lodged a fault seven days ago and they have in no way responded to my internet dropout issues (6+ disconnections on Sunday) Their customer service had always been top tier - but perhaps half their staff are off sick or something. They were good but apppear to have given up or run out of staff Show details
Follow-up · Yes. I eventually got a response after calling them several times and maybe half an hour on hold. They were hiring more staff.

Aussie Broadband is greatly handicapped by NBN Co infrastructure in much of Canberra, which is by copper wire, not fibre, and delivered by ADSL, limiting speeds to 25-50 mbps. Not only is NBN's infrastructure 20-25 obsolete, but charges are a scam, because NBN they are based on NBN Fibre, but services are delivered by ADSL through 830m Telstra… Read more
copper wire. Consequently, I feel exploited and scammed by paying for a service quality and speed that I am not getting. After 20 years of extreme disappointment from NBN Co, I consider NBN Co is cheating on service and scamming prices. ADSL customers should have a 50% discount, or even free, until fibre is installed. such pricing would be an incentive for NBN Co to install fire. Currently, NBN Co has no financial incentive to install fibre.

Can not get through to these people .Tangerine have been bought our by Aussie BB. Can't get any internet from 8pm. For 2 weeks. They don't answer the phones, wait for over an hour and give up Show details
Its a bit early to decide but so far so good. The arrangements with NBN left a bit to be desired - they didn't come as planned, due to what appears to be chaos at NBN end. It worked because I was accommodating. Show details · 1

fantastic, as always! Because we had to disconnect the router multiple times we ended up with five calls spanning over an hour. They would not give up without fixing the issue. I’d like to thanks Nevoh and Anshika for their incredibly helpful, professional, human and, frankly, Aussie approach and support. No one coil have done better! 15 out of 10! Thank you! M

Got our service bundled with 5G phone accounts. Internet has been quite good service and service quality so far but a little disappointing that email has been discontinued, which was one deciding factor in signing up, although not the major deciding factor. About 46mbps over FTTN, limited by distance to exchange, so certainly looking forward to… Read more · 1
get FTTP connected soon and will stick with Aussie Broadband for that
No issue with phone connections or call quality.
Had a minor issue with a support ticket response but it was on the Easter long weekend so i can understand the reluctance.
1.Why does my NBN useage summary not coincide with my Invoice dates ? Or even calendar month summaries? 2.This Review page is far too complex. Why am I being asked all these additional questions below ? 3.Why when I request info on Pensioner discounts, I get a response "No Results found for Residential" 4. Where is information for Persioners. Show details

I wanted to upgrade the speed on my account but I either had to wait until my next payment or pay a fee of $16. Instead I switched to Superloop for an immediate speed upgrade and no fee (actually I am saving $24 a month). Show details

I was with Aussie for a few years and they did a fine job with stable internet and only one or 2 major outages after they did a failed upgrade but they rectified that quickly . Internet speed was always better than the plan , ie; 52-53 mbps on a 50 plan . Only problem is the prices they charge and the fact their customer service went down hill… Read more
recently . I had to make phone multiple times recently and I was 50 plus persons in the cue . Simply not good enuff but I would return when they make some changes to their pricing and customer support issues .

app and was contacted within 30 minutes. Aussie were able to check the connection from their end and recommended a firmware upgrade for the modem. This was performed from their end and went well, however, I was still not satisfied with the results. I rang them the following day (Sunday) and was taken through the process of a factory reset of the modem. This worked well and my internet is better than ever. My internet needs are minimal. Our household have three phones and two TV'S. My plan is no frills unlimited data, cable to the node for $79. I was very impressed with the assistance and would not hesitate recommending them.
Follow-up · We have one streaming service which is used daily. Our plan is Basic Plus 25Mbps/10Mbps and do not have buffering issues.
Nice staff awful broadband. Constant outages. I lost so much work! I had to call and report each time so they could verify outages as it "did not show up for them" until they looked at the line and saw indeed there was another outage. I kept… Read more
increasing the amount i paid to get better connection to no avail. More than 6 months of consistent daily drop outs of internet affecting our work, meetings and study. They gave only one month of lousy credit that i had to follow up on twice to get. $95 a month for internet worse than dodo.
Follow-up · No change, still constant dropouts and slow internet affecting work, study and meetings. Most of the time, they did not notify me. I had to phone them, then they would look and see that indeed there was a dropout again. There would be no record of it otherwise. I changed providers this month to another company and my internet has been cheaper with… Read more
