Took less than 30 minutes to switch, and the speed is way above expectations. Show reply
Joined Leaptel about 5 months ago after doing research and thought they would be the best for me. I'm on the HFC 1000/100 package and it has been perfect. Got multiple devices setup, one of which is my PC which is wired to the router and everything else is connected with wifi. I stream on Twitch and Youtube at the same time from my PC and it… Read more · 1
streams like a dream. Had one problem this morning where my stream was dropping frames and lagging to hell and back. Spoke to leaptel over the chat and the guy sorted it out quickly, as well as booking a technician to come have a look at a possible problem. They were polite and very quick with the help and replies. Problems happen, it's how they are dealt with that matter and i'm super happy with the outcome!!!
Five Stars for Leaptel! I’ve been with Leaptel for nearly two years, and the experience has been nothing short of outstanding. Their service is rock-solid—no dropouts, no hassles—just reliable, fast internet every day. What really stands out, though, is their customer support. Every interaction has been smooth, efficient, and genuinely helpful. … Read more · 1
If you’re looking for an ISP that delivers on both performance and service, Leaptel is the way to go. I’ve already recommended them to friends and family, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat!
Leaptel's Domestic Network & Connected with Global Secure layer Tier 1 International Network in my opinion is currently No. 1 ISP in Australia. Never misses a beat (The speed says it all) - speedtest results are fantastic and couldn't have asked for a more robust network. Keep up the great work. Show details · 1
Switch over from another ISP took 25 mins. No interruption to my service. Onshore customer service, queries answered "first time right". Minor limitation - sign up had to be done via website. Impressive speeds given my PC is connected wirelessly to the NTD. Refer to image Show details · 1
The best, If these guys can help an 83 year old with hardly any knowledge of the internet with patience and understanding they must be special and they are. Always pleasant to talk to. I did a lot of research when Telstra changed to Opticom and Lo Leaptel ticked all the boxes for me. Cant recommend them enough. Thanks Leaptel Show details · 1
These guys are amazing, amazing customer service, amazing speeds, and an amazing portal. Everything works seamlessly, hassle free and if there is any issues, you can actually feel safe knowing they are working on it. Their service is local, and it’s with people who actually care. Show details · 1

Seemless transfer from Telstra to Leaptel. Very easy process from start to finish. Had arranged for it in advance and woke on the day to find everything connected. Still using old Gen 2 modem, got the 500 mpbs not a problem without even having to… Read more · 1
reset the modem but as upload speed initially restricted to the old plan did the easy reset and ... bang ... 50 mpbs upload speed. Excellent thus far and satisfying to know I am supporting Australian jobs rather than some call centre operation overseas.
Follow-up · Excellent thus far. No problems experienced. Speeds as promised.
Affordable, good network, great customer support – Leaptel are affordable, and their network seems as fast as any other. I moved from Superloop to Leaptel, and Leaptel is better, network just as good. I also find Leaptel support is great, support staff are willing to help and spend a lot of time… Read more · 1
with you, which is great. I also used to be with Aussie Broadband, but Leaptel's support is just as good, and Leaptel is more affordable than Aussie Broadband. At the moment I am on a special deal where I get unlimited 1000/50 NBN for $99 a month. Can't fault Leaptel at all, they are great.
Follow-up · I have found Leaptel to be consistently good, so my review hasn't changed. There are occasional or rare service disruptions, but they are typically either advised about in advance or if they are unplanned they are of a short duration and resolved quickly. I am on the 1000/50 plan and the speeds are always around 800-900Mbit down and 48-50Mbit up.… Read more
Leaptel has been very efficient while I have been using their service. They have regularly provided plenty of notice of NBN maintenance windows affecting my service. I did once forget but I realised that I had been told to expect an outage. And the… Read more · 1
maintenance windows are always in the early hours of the morning. They have offered me speed upgrades which have improved my internet experience even though I don't really need great speeds. I'm also impressed that Leaptel asked me to join the national NBN speed monitoring program which doesn't affect my cost.
Follow-up · My speed is tested daily as Leaptel invited me to join the SamKnows monitoring program. I will say more about this later. I joined Leaptel on the 25/10 plan and that is all I need because I don't have any devices over Full HD resolution. That's the plan I joined Leaptel on. I had upgraded to the 50 Mbps plan but recently upgraded to the 500/50… Read more

I had a bit of an issue when trying to sign up as the SMS verification was not working(bit of a worry for a IT company and no notice of this on home/sign up page) I had to use chat line and they sent me a link to fill out a form. (no copy given/recordered) I received an email 1 day later to call and process payment. All good to go, received my… Read more · 2
new modem promptly but was not correct order I wanted eero 7 pro + 1 mesh, only obtained one. Day 1. Contacted Chat line to sort issue out was a bit of a wait and agreed order was incorrect, could not pay over chat had to wait for invoice. Obtained invoice but amount was incorrect as they were trying to charge postage again. Day 2 back onto chat line, agent Bryce was instantly available, great, finally sorted, postage waived, all paid, just have to wait then connect. Even though this was a time waster, mistakes happen, the company know how to resolve in customer favour, lets hope we can have a good relationship form her on with NBN service. I have moved from Aussie (getting to greedy and poor customer retention after about 5 years), moved to Spintel for about 2 months(constant dropouts, poor service, poor website), lets hope Leap are good, my friend has been on here for years and no complaints.
Today, I cancelled my Leaptel service after more than five years as a customer. I initially spoke with [Name Removed] via online chat, who was unwilling to look beyond policy to waive two days of service charges. When I explained that I had experienced multiple issues over the years, many of which required hours of troubleshooting calls, I felt… Read more
those concerns were dismissed rather than properly investigated.
The last major issue was in September 2025, when I was advised to purchase a new modem, which I did. At the time, the service improved to an acceptable level and remained mostly stable for a while. However, over the past two weeks, the problems returned more consistently, with frequent dropouts and slow speeds, forcing me to hotspot from my phone again just to work and stream Netflix. In many cases, my phone hotspot performed better than the Leaptel service itself, despite being on the Fast plan.
This latest interruption was the final straw, and I decided to move to Starlink rather than go through another lengthy troubleshooting process.
During the chat, [Name Removed] repeatedly referred to policy as the reason they could not waive even two days of service charges, because I had not contacted Leaptel about the current issue. This was despite my explaining the long history of ongoing problems I had experienced, and why I no longer wanted to spend more hours troubleshooting yet again. At first, I was also told I needed to pay the full bill, until I pointed out that the bill was for the upcoming month and I was cancelling immediately. It was not about the amount of money, it was the principle. My concerns were not heard, properly considered, or investigated, and the history of ongoing service issues was not believed.
[Name Removed], who later took over the chat after I was transferred, handled the situation completely differently. Within minutes, [Name Removed] reviewed my account history and agreed that waiving the two days of charges was fair. [Name Removed] was understanding, kind, professional, and reasonable throughout the online chat, and I genuinely appreciated how they handled the situation.
Overall, my experience with Leaptel over the years has been inconsistent. While there were periods when the service was acceptable (average, nothing to get excited about), there were also many times when speeds were slow, connections dropped out, or the service failed altogether. Unfortunately, after years of recurring issues, this most recent experience was enough for me to move on.

Having trouble with another ISP, so decided to transfer to Leaptel. Everytime I called in, only took less than a minute to talk to a real person. Not to mention a warm and patient voice one after another (Alice, Jenifer), the best part was genuinely helpful throughout the whole process. There's no harm without comparision! When I had trouble to… Read more · 1
connect to Internet, my previous NBN support advised to buy a new modem without digging. But when I had a chance to work with a Leaptel specialist (Simon), there's no hassle to be with their service.
I really appreciated their friendly attitude and willingness to go the extra mile to make sure my connection was working properly. It’s reassuring to know there’s a reliable support team available when needed. My boy was extremely excited to get back online with his friends again, especially on a Friday night!
Thanks Leaptel, you've just made another happy customer, another happy family!
PS: My boy begged me to stay with Leaptel as long as possile.

Fantastic customer service! They helped me with my internet activation withe quick and professional responses, and my issue was solved smoothly. Highly recommended! Show details · 1
Leaptel was super helpful today. I originally signed up with another provider, but after hours of talking to their international call center, I just gave up and called Leaptel. I spoke to a lovely girl in Melbourne, and she explained everything simply. Soon after signing up with Leaptel, I was all set, and my internet's working great. I should've… Read more · 2
just gone with Leaptel first and saved myself the trouble.
I'd 100% recommend Leaptel, their customer service team over the phone was extremely helpful, even after I told them everything that went wrong with my previous provider.
Now I just gotta wait for NBN Co to book a date to come do the FTTP upgrade to my house, but since I'm with Leaptel now, I feel confident that everything will go as planned from here on.
Just had an outstanding customer service provided by KaylaB and as a customer I was very pleased with the customer service provided and the quality of the product they provide Show reply
I was trying to connect with another internet provider starting with V and had a horrible experience and could not get my internet going for a week. Logged on to Leaptel's website, started a chat with a person from support, signed up and had internet working within 10mins. Did a speed test, was lower than expected as I had signed up tot he… Read more · 1
500Mpbs download, 50Mbps upload. Mentioned this in the chat tot he support person. Some minor config took place from Leaptel end. Went next to the modem/router and achieved the speeds that I was expected. Extremely helpful staff, great service with a quick turnaround time. Highly recommend.
We have been connected to Leaptel's 500/50 plan for about 2 weeks now. The installer for the external and internal boxes did an excellent job running the cable we needed through the roof cavity, no qualms about where we wanted the internal box installed either. He informed us that connection could not be finished the same day due to a fault with… Read more · 1
the lead-in conduit from the NBN pit. A week later the civil works team were able to repair the fault and our fibre was able to be connected. The connection has been fantastic with speeds over the 500Mbps we signed up for. The Eero mesh system is amazing and extremely easy to setup. Overall the work and communication from Leaptel and their contractors has been excellent. Special shout out to Ravraj, Tony James and the civil works team, thank you for your hard work, great customer service, and communication!
A massive shout out to your online chat helper Dylan who hung on the line with me for hours like a first responder as my internet went from choppy to completely dead until we lost our line. He was a proper trooper and the outcome of our trauma bonding was that I got a new modem which solved my issues immediately. I had the confidence to do that… Read more · 1
because Dylan tested and reset the line on your side with patience multiple times. Thanks for the great service, was one of the main reasons I went with Leaptel in the first place and you’ve come through.
I switched to Leaptel less than a week ago, after research showed their pricing and customer support stood out as the two main advantages. Just two days in, my internet went down due to an NBN service interruption in the area. Summer from Leaptel's customer service was incredibly patient and helpful, Summer proactively scheduled NBN support for… Read more · 1
the next day and followed up exactly when promised to give me an update. Great pricing paired with this level of support has made for a fantastic start with Leaptel.
Pros: - Competitive Pricing - Customer Service - Reliable Internet
Cons: - Missing an App for service management - NBN updates did not reach out to Leaptel quick enough (Service downtime and reason)
More of a customer service review, agent Hue was very helpful and helped fix one of my apps that had a slow streaming. Response was super efficient and fix the problem. Thank You Again. Show reply

Just finished setup (eero7). Make sure you have your current network name and password (I only had my p/w so had to reconnect to the old service to get the name). Took about 20 minutes all up. Pretty much went without a hitch (didn’t connect the first time but I told it to try again and it worked fine). Customer service has been top notch. On a 100Mbps plan and first speed test showed 130Mbps. Very happy. Definitely recommend. Show details · 1
Such a great service. Internet is always stable. The support is amazing. They spent multiple days helping me to turn on IPv6 on my end and configure all the hardware I have. Show reply

Great customer service, easy to set up. I had to change because my area the NBN fibre keep having issues (live on remote area) and it disrupted my work, but Leaptel as a provider is great. Show details · 1
Having to replace the existing Router due to drop outs and unable to connect the excellent and patient support given by HAB has to be acknowledged and commended. His understanding of product and the service he provided far exceeded my expectations due to my lack of technical understanding. Show details · 1
