If you were ever to choose an NBN provider, choose Launtel. I have used over 20 providers in the last 2 years and Launtel is the only provider I have had no problems with.
On their 100/40 plan, I achieved a 97/39 speeds, the highest I have ever seen. They are transparent and provide CVC usage graphs, live chat and provide an entire /48 subnet of IPv6, and the only provider I have seen that bills daily (So you could even leave the next day if you wanted to!).
Strong speeds, customer support and overall experience from these guys. Free trial period was also great to have and the daily charge / no lock-in is unique. Good for tenants who need flexibility. Refreshing to see in telco land. Keep it up!
Thanks Thomas for your review. We really do appreciate you too

Hi,
Full credits to Vince support!
I rang him at 1800pm NSW time due to my poor internet connection and he picked up my phone to explain everything to me so patiently so I made it successfully connect to the internet.
I can't thanks him more for helping so I can get my work going!
Thank you Vince!
Hi Vanessa - Vince was thrilled with the feedback and so were the rest of us. Its a really difficult time currently with so many people and WFH arrangements. Its nice to have a team that works with our customers to ensure you can do exactly that

Great Speeds, excellent customer service. Very happy so far. joined appx. 2 weeks ago.
Was not initially getting the speeds, turned out it was the wire that was connecting to my modem that was limiting the speeds, excellent follow up from the Launtel team.
Thanks for the excellent feedback. We all learn on every setup we do with nothing ever really being exactly the same. Its ver satisfying to be able to find the source of issues for you
connection has been great - my home being serviced via RedTrain it was hard to find a good quality service review online
when i signed up i had issues setting up my router due to the 'uniqueness' of redtrain - Launtel provided with exceptional customer service, providing with all the assistance and patience to get me up and running
i had a minor bump whilst using the service but the Launtel team quickly addressed the issue
the internet quality has been great and the customer service quality has been exceptional.
there is no sign up fee nor are there any lock in contracts! highly recommend!
Hi Toki - Yes Redtrain have been a learning curve however we are very happy to work with them on building a great network! Thanks for your feedback
Launtel stood out because:
* 7 day free trial period
* ability to pause and resume the connection charges
* excellent Australian based support

* proactive support
I have been very happy with the onboarding process and feel confident recommending Launtel to friends and family.
Thanks for the exceptionally positive feedback. We really appreciate your kind words Carl. Dont forget your referral code
Very reliable service, connected in 11 minutes. Very helpful team, always available and very friendly. Speeds are high with no drop outs even at peak times. Great service all round.
11 mins? We must fix that !!! We need to set new records for our personal best. Must have been a slow day for our processing :D Thanks for your lovely feedback

3 amazing facts:
1) Currently on my 7 day trial on 100/40 and receiving approx. 111/37 consistently. No dropouts whatsoever as of yet.
2)The setup has been amazing (only took less than an hour).
3) The service has been absolutely fantastic! Liam, Drew & James have followed up all my issues through email without the traditional pesky internet provider spam (am still receiving constant emails & calls from other providers despite me telling them no).
Glen, Zack & Gemma, especially Zack & Gemma, have been rockstars in helping me out through t...

I had a really pleasant experience with Launtel from the get-go. Their support team is fantastic (extra shout out to James Disney), speeds are fantastic (sometimes I get higher than what I pay for) and the flexibility of paying daily instead of monthly is an extra bonus.
Isnt James a character. We love him. He keeps trying to escape and travel so we close the borders on him. Thanks so much for your kind words. We really do appreciate them
Connection has been solid and speed has been great! Both have been consistent.
The best part about launtel is their support. Everyone has been fantastic, I have never seen service this good.
I am unable to praise the staff and support enough.
Hi Brandon Thanks so much for the wonderful feedback. We think youre pretty fantastic too
The process of transferring my NBN service to Launtel from my last provider was incredibly easy thanks to Gemma and her great customer service.
The ability to change speed options is the future of ISPs and an innovation that other ISPs couldn't offer. I've had uninterrupted fast speeds since switching - even during peak times - and paid into my account before the free trial period was over because I was more than happy to sign on permanently.
Hi Cate - we like to keep our customers :) so permanently is fine by us. Any issues at all dont forget to sing out - good or bad
Speed is great & no longer having to constantly reboot both my modem & computer. Aaron was a delight to deal with he helped me connect to the Launtel network and was so patient and helpful. My only regret is that I didn’t switch sooner.
Thank you for your very kind words - Aaron is chuffed with the feedback and so are we :D He is a great recent addition to our incredible team
We have recently become customers of Launtel and we are very happy with the service so far. We are in a large apartment development in the Eastern suburbs of Sydney and we were fed up with substandard speeds and service. Since changing to Launtel the speeds are accurate, stable and consistent. Getting the service up and running was fast and easy. The customer service is responsive and always there to help. Launtel are a quality internet service provider and I highly recommend them.
Thanks so very much Mitch. Your kind words are very much appreciated.

Questions & Answers
What are your charges? Do I need to purchase a modem for your service? How quickly can you connect?
Cheers
Del
Hi Del Would you mind messaging at residential@launtel.net.au please and I can get you all the information. I really need to know your address to give you accurate information and I wouldnt ask for that here :) I'll keep an eye out
What speeds can I expect with Launtel?
Hi Norm
Depends on what you are after. We tend to be within 95% of the stated speed and in many cases due to over provisioning actually a little higher e.g. On my 250Mbps connection I see 270.
We have speed ranging from 25/5 all the way up to 1000/50 but this is all limited by your connection type and router hardware.
If you pop your address into: residential.launtel.net.au/residential the site will tell you what speed you can get.
If for any reason you pick and speed and don't achieve it, get in touch, our staff our super helpful and will work it out for you.
We also do 7 days for free no obligations (Not that there are any anyway, we don't do contracts) so you can actually try before you buy.
Thanks
Will I be able to change my Selected plan in case I want better speed?
Hi Shilpi
yes you sure can, in the DIY Portal that you get access to after sign up, you can change your speed at any time and usually it only takes 20 minutes. This means you can go up or down a speed whenever you like and only pay for the days that you use the higher speed.
Some people even use this to have 1000/50 (Gigabit) on the weekend and 50/20 other days.
Hope that helps.
