Barefoot Telecom

I joined Barefoot as it was the cheapest for what I needed at the time. I found it to be easy to set up using a modem I bought myself at a local store and it was also easy to cancel when the time came. The speed was slightly above the advertised 'typical busy speed' and I didn't have any issues with it dropping out. The best part is the support call staff are caring and patient people who are easy to understand (they are in Australia!).

I am so happy that I signed up with Barefoot! The NBN and mobile service has been excellent and the customer service is amazing! It is always a pleasure to speak to you whenever I have an issue or a request. A big Thankyou to Luke the guy who helped me today...You are a gem!!
Cheers

I have been with Barefoot over 12 months now and have never regretted my decision. I get great internet and excellent phone service on the occasions I have had to call them regarding minor billing and modem issues. They have knowledgeable and professional service staff who respond quickly, are helpful and easy to converse with. I happily recommend them to friends!

The people who answer the phone, fix the problem. This is my favourite no-frills ISP and yet you also get excellent phone and web chat support when you want it.

Had previously been with an internet provider that caused me a lot of drama. I needed to switch to nbn, so thought I’d change providers too. When I contacted Barefoot, they were so helpful, efficient and easy to deal with. They set it all up with no dramas, sent the technicians out to connect the nbn and it was up and working immediately. Service so far has been fast and consistent!

Signed up for the 100/20 NBN plan. Generally speaking it's great and provides better connection then the previous service providers used at this address but have yet to check consistency of advertised line speeds with those actually received. Customer service team have also been far more pleasant to communicate with then providers used in the past.

A problem that occurred was immediately and professionally solved. And I have a perfect streaming with the promised MB speed. Even with multiple users in action the same time. So I am happy and that since more than three years.

Internet works fine and support is good. The lack of an smtp server for email clients is a royal pain in the neck. Effectively forces people on to web based email. This is not always desirable. The bundled mobile phones and landline are good value

50 package gives me around 43 mbps. Streaming is flawless. It all depends on the area.
Considering that Australia has gone from 56th to 62nd place in the world for internet speed.

I've been with Barefoot for over a year with my ADSL2. Finally NBN has been connected to my house.
Being 90 years old I wasn't looking forward to having to go through the process of setting up the modem.
Barefoot Technician Tony guided me through the process and had had lots of patience. My download speeds are up to four times faster over 11 mbps out of 12 mbps purchased.
An Australian company that's a pleasure to deal with.

Connection has been unstable for months, we now have ~40% packet loss making browsing or working impossible, we've gone through several rounds of back and forth over support tickets and they're unable to either fix anything or tell us what/where the problem is.

Good phone support, never had any dramas connecting, a few drop outs here and there but for a bush town pretty happy. There maybe cheaper options but was happy with no lock in contracts.
Only negative I can think of is when changing address, if you're paid up for the month and move early in the month you have to start a new payment from when you move, so you might pay 2 months worth in for example 5 weeks. Have had to do it twice and a little dirty about it...

My god. Barefoot telecom is woeful. Be very careful considering to use them. They do not care about their customers AT ALL. If it wasn't my connection not working, it was spam marketing from them or outages.

I a NBN12 & NBN Plan (50, I think?) in 2 different houses and have not had significant dropouts. The service has been excellent and support is also good, especially because I get to speak to Australians. The mobile reception is also really good. The only minor issue is that I look forward when international roaming is available.

Semi-reliable, dropouts happen every time there's a strong downpour of rain. Latency is 300ms+ during peak periods ~3months ago (lately okay). Currently using mobile data and not nbn to type this.

Barefoot have been THE BEST internet I have ever had! No drop outs & I have never gone over my usage. When I recently moved it was simple, quick & the call centre is easy to get through too and they are Australians! Big tick from me!

Been with Barefoot for 2 years. Experience from A to Z has been stellar. Tim from customer service was super helpful and friendly resolving possible NBN side issue. Highly recommended.

These guys provide good internet and customer service. There were occasional drop outs and slow downs in speeds, but this didn’t usually last long. On the odd occasion there was an issue the company would sent a text informing about it.

Phone call to change address took <10 minutes. Their service team are a dream - unbelievably helpful and fast! The least hassle I've had with a utility company since I called them last year.
