Fantastic. I was with exetel many years ago in my share house rental and it was awesome. We had 6 people in a gaming house, never once when everyone was online did we have any speed issues between devices. I swapped between a few different providers when I moved between places and ultimately came back to Exetel. Easy billing system and app,… Read more

never a late invoice, speeds are 10/10. I can download movies, play games and stream all at once with no issues. They'll always let you know when there's works happening on your network and when they've been cancelled as well.

I upgraded my router and ethernet to get the best speeds and it was worth every dollar.

I was with exetel for 5 plus years with no problems until i upgraded to fibre to the house and changed my plan.From there on I’ve had nothing but trouble with them especially with my billing they were withdrawing for two services which i had cancelled I called them got nothing but transferred from one person to another who all gave me false… Read more

promises ( yes will rectify the problem, yes will refund your account) but nothing happened. Do not waste your time with this company they have the worst customer service you will get nothing done fast. I will not ever recommend this company to anyone save yourself the headache and go somewhere else. I learned the hard way don’t make the same mistake. PLEASE AVOID THIS COMPANY

I’ve always valued Exetel’s customer service, especially the ability to speak directly with a real agent. It would be great to have that option more readily available instead of relying mainly on AI or chat support. Brian, the agent I spoke with, was very helpful and did his best to resolve the issue, eventually arranging an NBN technician visit,… Read more

Had issues with slow speed on my NBN which was identified quickly by the team member Fabian. He assured me to have the service up and running soon. With some accurate information from me about the symptoms Fabian was remotely able to liaise with NBN and trouble shoot accordingly. I was kept informed about what was happening when I was on hold. It was a quick and desired outcome addressed in a professional manner. Show details

Exetel's The One Plan offers a fantastic combination of speed, reliability, and value. I’ve been using it for a while now, and I’m genuinely impressed.

I have been with Exetel for over a decade and their service has been excellent. I have been participating in the ACCC/SamKnows broadband monitoring scheme and they always report that I am getting what I paid for (see their attached speed graphs) so I have been very happy with the speed that I got.

Also, their service has been excellent. Anytime there was any issue, I was always able to get on to someone who was able to sort it out.

Because I am moving, I have to cancel my broadband and the process was simple and straightforward. I'd like to shout out Ameera from Exetel who was extremely helpful.

Very happy with service (HFC connection). Was sceptical about the CG-NAT but haven't had an issue. Set-up was easy, app is user friendly, speeds are consistently 500mb/s down + and 40mb/s + up, even in peak times. 9ms ping in Ringwood Vic. Highly recommend at this stage. I just hope that as this plan becomes more popular, they continue to invest in their network to keep up with the demand so speeds stay good. Show details ·  1

BYO modem. Instructions provided by EXETEL online did not clearly address my modem and I could only get NBN 100 speeds and even with my tech smart son we could not get it working correctly. After contacting technical support, they identified the one setting in my modem that needed changing. I now get in excess of NBN 500 (549 Mbps at 8:20 pm on a Tuesday in Brisbane) Show details ·  1

Sadly, I am unable to migrate from our legacy HFC plan due to Exetel discontinuing support for VOIP services last year. Despite this disappointment, I have to say that Exetel / Superloop have the BEST AI Chatbot I have ever experienced, providing… Read more

prompt, accurate and concise answers to quite detailed technical questions together with a perfect, concise summary at the end of the 'conversation'.

The burning question is: Do I want the hassle of rolling-over the bundle of services (NBN, 2 x VOIP, mobiles) to Superloop (Exetel's parent), who DO appear to support both unlimited & PAYG VOIP? Hmmm...

IF/When properly configured, maintained and upgraded, it is a fast, reliable system.

I was an Extel customer for the past 2 years and since there was a price increase I decided to swap my provider and for that I have given a call yesterday to give my 1 month notice. But at the time they offered this one plan for me which found like a better service for me as I was about to pay less than $15/ month compared to my proposed plan with… Read more

all the same benefits. They have cancelled my plan and switched to this new plan. This happened somewhere between 11am -12 N. But there was a bit of issue with going on my initial payment. By this time my internet service was cut off. They haven’t provided me any warning regarding the time period for new service activation when I decided to change plans. I live in an area there is no 5G data service. Since 12N yesterday I was calling the Exetel multiple times, to solve the issue. I have corrected my billing issue and they mentioned that activation might take about 4-6 hours. This update was given by 6 pm yesterday. We completely relay on internet. My wife has got an assessment due for her uni in 1 day, my kid has got online Tution, I have got studies to do and work to complete. I could nt make a proper call as we completely relay on wifi call. Without internet everything was postponed or ruined for the day. By later evening they informed that it will take 24-48 hours to sort the issue. By that time we were even unable to get to call their customer service. Apparently only chatting option is avilable. Now I am posting this it past 24 hours, still no internet, no calling option to contact the customer support. So frustrated . If they adviced me about having such a delay in changing the service I would have never went through this nightmare. My work is on hold, I couldn’t do anything in my house as everything is almost connected to wifi. Such a terrible customer service and they won’t care about our issues. Truely disappointed in them. Still we don’t have any idea when the internet will be back.

The deal is good but the best thing about exetel is the quality of their Sri Lankan call centre. I called exetel after a morning of calling insurers, banks and the like. The service from most call centres, including local Australian ones can be hit and miss at the best of times. I have been with exetel since 2018 primarily due to the quality of… Read more

their customer service. Every single exetel operator I've spoken to have been well above average compared to all the others I've had to call at various companies.

I spoke to a young gentleman named Pansilu today and I could not rate him higher.

The level of expertise and confidence with which he managed the call was exceptional. I was particularly impressed by the logical way in which the products and their features were presented and the cost vs benifits analysis done to arrive at the best and most logical option for me.

Pansilu gave me the impression that he really got where the company was going from a marketing perspective. He explained the way the product offering spread between the parent company to exetel, what market segments the product I was looking at was put together to serve and why it was right for me.

Also, I usually hate it when companies go onto a chat-only support model. However with the explanation I got around the "why", I surprised myself saying "I get it".

Pansilu is an absolute asset to your company.

The call I had could be used for staff training.

Needless to say, I'm still with exetel and will be until and if they change their CS team from Sri Lanka to something less.

TECHNICAL: Exetel itself has been mostly good - even if there were plenty of planned (out-of-hours) outages over the 7 years I've been with them. In all fairness, I suspect that most of those outages were due to NBNCo - not Exetel - and the aging HFC infrastructure in my street (and the frequent and heavy rainfall). CALL-CENTRE STAFF: The… Read more

offshore call-centre staff tend to be VERY GOOD - I've mostly had to deal with people in accounts, not technical-areas - very good actually. I engaged with two people today (the latter - Trevonne - was definitely in Sri Lanka, the first, a lady perhaps there also). *** They were very good communicators and effective in their assistance. No complaints whatsoever. ***

BILLING ISSUES: I will also say that Exetel (Superloop subsidiary) ARE VERY REASONABLE when it comes to negotiating grey-areas of contract-fees. I will definitely use them again (only closing this account because I will no longer be responsible for the property's NBN-connection).

SUMMARY: All-up, I'd recommend Exetel after a combined, nearly 10-year experience with them over 2 overlapping-accounts.
