Melinda from Exetel was wonderful. She helped me out so much and helped guide me through how to set up my internet. She was, calm, polite, friendly and patient. She made the experience smooth and easy
Top-notch support from Rishitha — resolved an issue two other agents couldn't fix! I had a persistent internet issue that two previous support agents were unable to resolve, but Rishitha Nanayakkara from the Residential & Business Support team sorted it out seamlessly. Rishitha was incredibly polite, patient, and clearly knows his stuff inside… Read more
out. He picked up where others left off, diagnosed the root cause, and got everything working perfectly. It's staff like Rishitha who make a real difference to customer experience — Exetel will thrive with agents like him on the team. Outstanding service!
Umair was amazing!! Clear, concise, knew what he was talking about and very informative. Wasn't too pushy but gave me all the options and benefits and let me choose. No complaints at all, very friendly, easy to follow and fast. Great stuff!

I've had HTTP connected since 2014, recently my internet connection has been dropping out every few minutes. I spoke to Exetel service, they have been very helpful and have put a request in Opticomm to have the fiber modem replaced as it is 12 years old. I only issue i have had is that someone supposed to call me back with on 24 to 48 hours to… Read more
arrange for Opticomm to attend which didn't happen. I called them to have this arranged, after their technician had checked my connection remotely. I dont know why but if Opticomm supply a service, why I need to go through my service provider to arrange this.
Dear Team, I would like to express my satisfaction with your internet service. The connection has been consistent and reliable, and your customer support has been helpful and responsive. Thank you for providing a quality service Show details
Issue with the speed Paulo has helped me out to get speed above 50 mbps Show details · 1
Was only on the phone for 4 mins… no long hold music… and in under 4 minutes I was able to arrange my connection to move house. I’m floored at how efficient that was. Show details · 1
Latest follow-ups
Timothy is very understanding, which is great, especially when I previously had a very unpleasant experience with another technician in his team.
Follow-up · Although the staff of Exetel such as Achini is very good in helping ho fix the problem, they have to rely on the network quality of Opticom, which is very lousy with numerous outage problems
Very helpful and courteous. Hopefully the issue has been resolved but have to wait and see.
Follow-up · Exetel have been good. We ended up buying a new router and haven’t had any trouble with WiFi buffering since.
Have been with Exetel for 9 years for mobile and internet. Moved to new home and needed to reconnect NBN. Liddian provided us with outstanding service and support.He explained everything clearly and easy giving us great assistance when we had difficulty connecting (our mistake). I could not recommend Exetel highly enough.
Follow-up · Exetel is fast speed , always connected. Highly recommend
Positive reviews
The product itself was satisfactory, although I did experience regular internet dropouts. However, Ahamed Rahmathulla, the agent who handled my cancellation, was excellent. I was cancelling purely because I’m moving interstate and Ahamed made sure the experience ended on a very positive note. His service was friendly, professional and genuinely memorable, and it’s certainly made me consider returning to Exetel in the future.
Shame I had to leave. They didn't have the plan i was looking for and I had to switch over to their parent Superloop. Good company, reliable service despite Opticomm issues which were outside their control

I have been with Exetel broadband for over two years now and I can truthfully say that I have had the best Internet service. They gave me the fastest (500/50) connection for a lesser price than others would give for a slower (100/50) connection. Also, their AI expert online assistant MO is not only very helpful but can also help you solve any problems you may have in no time at all. Shout out to MO -- you're the best!

Issue with NBN connection box, as usual ISP difficult and time consuming to contact. Two lengthy chat sessions then after being promised would be contacted by email or text Exetel attempted to call so spent more time on hold trying to return call then waiting for agent to retrieve my case info. NBN originally tried to blame the issue on my modem… Read more
or Ethernet cable but are now turning up to check the connection box with the good old sometime between 1:00 and 5:00 appointment. Hopefully issue will be fixed.
I cancelled my service because unreliable service and exorbitant pricing. the ai bot told me a technician would be in contact but never actually booked one in so I was hanging for a week without service. All that with the kicker of 30 day cancellation notice period? Disgusting company. All the employees I interacted with were lovely and helped me… Read more
out to the best of their ability this is wholly the business practices and no onus on the individuals. but at the end of the day. If you move into a place that uses opticomm. Just move somewhere else or use 5G. It makes the ISP leechers just hungrier and the service worse.
Hi Jack, We apologise for your experience. Please DM us… Read more
Internet not working after 1 hour as stated by Azwin. His advice was wrong. I now don't have internet. Azwin should be more careful in understanding the situation. I'm very disappointed in the service.

Very patient and was eager to find solutions. Good communicator and willing to listen. Strongest point is that the support did not speak over the customer. Happy to get this person again.
Chino was very patient and helpful, detected the problem and helped me get a usable connection. I still need to check why our internet speed is lower than the plan I’m paying for.
I was with exetel for 11yrs and the experience has always been very good, no major issues with the service apart from any major issue that would have happened but with minimum downtime and prompt customer service to support us. Only moved to Superloop to get to higher speed and since they are both same company, I am happy to continue working with them.
I spoke with Shana from Exetel to change my internet plan. She was very helpful and I was able to get a cheaper plan that was 5 times faster. Very happy customer
Azwin was a great help. Very patient and courteous. Eventually needed a modern reset which fixed my problem. And then I upgraded to one plan 500/50. He was very helpful through the whole process. Good job !!

The support tech was very helpful She listened to what i had to say and then helped accordingly It was refreshing to see how they actually listen to the customers
I have been with exetel for over 14 years, over stretch of this period other than minor hiccup service was always good. Lately due to opticom, there has been significant disruptions in service delivery - I understand this is something out of exetel hands. Exetel team is and as always very well spoken and understands users needs.
I had a very good experience with Brad when upgrading my internet plan, he stayed on the phone with me for an hour while I reset my plan and payment details. A very nice and friendly person. His help was much appreciated.
Shenith Fernando was extremely helpful and coped with my inability to understand instructions well and professionally. He was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He helped me resolve my internet problems very well and I'd recommend Shanith any time.
I wanted to change my Exetel service to a newer faster plan. The app chatbot connected me with an agent Shyna who was excellent. She talked me through step by step how to change the plan and it was all completed in about 3 minutes. Excellent customer service.
Had to leave Exetel due to relocation to an area they don’t support. Great latency, no drop outs and great support and customer service. Would have stayed if I could.
Shenith was efficient, polite, and very helpful. I contacted Exetel because of an NBN unplanned outage. Shenith was able to escalate this to nbn and give me as estimate of when the service would be restored.
Lasitha W. maintained kindness, calmness, and professionalism throughout our call and guided me on each step with checking the status of my Opticomm box. He explained the potential reason behind the fault in my network and thanks to his detailed instructions, I was able to assist him in diagnosing the issue. I very much appreciate his commitment as our call went 13 minutes beyond the call centre's business hours. Thank you Lasitha!
