I've been with most of the other big providers since the NBN came out (ABB, Launtel, FutureBB) and Leaptel are the only ISP that I have never had to reach out to for any issues. They are super reliable and their latency & jitter for online gaming is 10/10. Speeds are always consistently 945/98 on my 1000/100 HFC connection. Keep up the fantastic work :) Show details
Super coherent and polite service. Chatbot connects to an agent instantly. I wish more companies kept their staff onshore instead of using dull, yes people overseas Show details
The internet speeds are good and sufficient for my household's needs. The reliability of connection is generally good... Sometimes on the rare occasion things hang or drop, but it's hard to tell if that is due to anything on their end — such as their service or the plan we have ("Full Throttle" 100/20) — or if it's due to something outside of… Read more
their direct control, like the configuration of our house, the NBN modem, our BYO router, peak traffic, electricity current, etc. It's pretty hard to pinpoint with stuff like this.
However, we have been with LeapTel for a long time, and they are consistently THE best internet provider I have ever dealt with (by design; after frustration with the mainstream IPs, I did some thorough research to find these guys). In addition, their customer support is refreshing good and natural: an oddity in corporate mad-dash to AI slop. I could not get my forgotten password reset email, but the chat with Kevin was efficient and in natural English, everything I want in a support interaction!
N.B.: ProductReview.com.au suggested I do a check at speedtest.net and post the image, so you'll see that I'm pretty much getting precisely the speeds I am paying for!

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

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.
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.

I did a lot of research to find a better internet (NBN) provider after the network in my street was upgraded ready for FTTP. I decided Leaptel looked the prime candidate after reading many reviews and comparing pricing with other providers.. After… Read more · 1
filling out the online forms I rang and spoke to a consultant to ask a couple of questions before I finalised the request. The call was answered promptly, the consultant was able to be understood clearly and he provided accurate, friendly service. This was so refreshing after years of non existent customer service. About 5 minutes after the call I saw my modem disconnect and re-connect whilst the change of provider went through and within 20 minutes of entering the website and starting the whole process, I was connected. As the network upgrade is recent, the new connection from pit to house was no cost and I received an email the same day I joined advising the NBN would attend to do the connection in 2 weeks. Despite the positive start, I was still amazed when my new Leaptel modem arrived by courier less than 24 hours after I ordered it. I wish I had found Leaptel years ago. I was with TPG on FTTN for 6 years and was pretty unhappy with both the download available and the customer service. TPG's website is terrible, not user friendly and if you need to speak with someone, good luck with that. I paid $85 a month for FTTN NBN50 with TPG and the highest download I received was 30 mbs. My new Leaptel service is FTTP NBN 500 for $69 for 12 months then $89 a month thereafter. That's 470mbs more for an increase of $4 per month. Leaptel has a well set out website and customer portal that is simple to use. I have already started recommending this Australian made and owned company to family and friends and could not give a higher recommendatiion to anyone wanting an internet service provider that actually provides what they say they will and cares about the customer! Bravo Leaptel.
Follow-up · A month into my new FTTP service with Leaptel and I couldn't be happier. I am receiving a constant 500mbs download and even with the expected signal loss from using a wireless mesh system to cover the whole home, I am still obtaining speeds of 350mbs in the room furthest from the modem (through 4 solid stone walls and 3 closed doors). I have a… Read more

The introductory price was amazing value for money. So easy to set up with my existing eero network but they also had cheap payment plans to purchase more eero devices. The online support was always responsive, supportive, and quick. I’ve been incredibly happy with Leaptel and this NBN plan. Show details
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.

Products was great . Just the mentality of the people running the show . Cancelled account while still In billing period .. that’s how telcos do it they say .. omg everyone there probly AI cause sure don’t make sence and they don’t understand . Oh well musk does it betttt Show details
Very bad customer service. Just because all of your customer service staff is based in Australia it doesn’t give you the right to bully your customers. Had a very bad experience and highly recommending others to stay away from this company who bully its customers. Show details

Terrible customer service. If you treat your customers like this, soon you will loose all of your customers to other providers. Absolutely no respect at all. I will be disconnecting my service end of current billing period. Please give proper training to all customer service team members.

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.

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

I switched to Leaptel less than a week ago, after research showed their pricing and customer support stood out as the two main advantages.

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)
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

Very happy Leaptel customer for multiple properties. I work in technology and am a bit of a nerd, and it’s amazing to have quick, helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly customer support. Great value and very consistent and good peering — excellent for lowest latency gaming. Show details · 1
