A good service, had it since 2022 as we couldn't get comparable service and speeds from other providers for the price we pay. It's now September 2025, we have had the need to call Pentanet technicians out twice in the 3 1/2 years we've been with them. Once to upgrade hardware, and then to re position after storm damage. Service has been more prompt than previous experiences with our previous providers. Show details
The service has been good overall with no drop outs in internet. Show details
Faultless – speedy and reliable had no dropouts thus far, I have not had any negative issues or problems so cannot comment on the help or standard of service of something I have not yet needed. My initial contact and installation of my service was on time and couldn't have gone any better, the tech (Shanahan) was friendly informative and more then willing to answer any questions I have about the fixed wireless service.
Pentanet, the Betternet option – We've had pentanet for a good while now. No issues ever. It only goes off during planned outages or of my cat unplugs the modem. I can't recommend them enough. Prices are decent but the service is better than anything we've ever had. The initial notes: The workers that installed it where friendly and pretty quick, also named Tom and jerry so… Read more
that was cool. No drop outs yet, great speeds, low latency and low ping. Also a pretty good price for everything you get.
They also have an app which I would highly recommend as it has some really cool features that I havnt really seen elsewhere, such as: blacklist, notification when user accesses wifi, modem lights and more.
I got this at the begging of sep 2024 and will update if my options have either changed or need tweaking.
Just wanted to add a small update as of 10/01/25 only ever had very minimal issues that resolved quickly, without needing to call pentanet. So I'm sticking to what I said, this is a great service and have recommended to a few more people becouse of how much i love the service.
Great internet Provider – Highly recommend Pentanet for their fixed wireless internet. The installation was seamless and the speeds are exactly as promised. Show details · 1
Overall was very happy with the service until recently. The initial set up and installation was very seamless. Internet reliable. However, I have recently have made a few inquiries to the customer service line. The responses have been very disappointing. Replying with obvious copy and paste responses. Requests to have someone call me or have… Read more
issues escalated have been ignored. Just overall rude and seemingly disinterested.
Probably the interaction I found most shocking was when I was inquiring to make a change to my plan that was within the bounds of their terms and conditions - their customer representative refused. When I pointed out that it was within the terms and conditions as per Pentanet's website - the reply I received was:
"Pentanet, as per the T&Cs, reserves the right to cancel or change these Terms & Conditions at any time in its sole discretion."
I found this a very odd reply. So essentially any agreement or commitment they make you with is meaningless. Because they can change the T&Cs at any point in time to suit whatever is in their interests.
Would not recommend their services.

The best – Easiest set up process. Great service. They are the best in internet in the west. Show details · 1
Follow-up · A couple of years on and the service has been fantastic. They helped me update the modem firmware and I've had good, reliable and consistent service. I'd tried other providers previously and they just don't even come close o the service from Pentanet.
Positive reviews
I like this company especially for the customer service as in this day and age it’s rear to have people who genuinely want to try & help you much as they can. I have no problems with the service they provide. Show reply
Pentanet is so easy to deal with and highly reliable. I switched to them in 2020 and haven't looked back. We were with TPG and they were unreliable and speeds were poor. I have referred many family members to Pentanet and will continue too. Show reply
I switched from iiNet and haven't looked back. I used to rate iiNet for their customer service whom I used on a regular basis but frankly speaking I have not required to use Pentanets customer service as it rarely ever faults. On the rare occasion I have called, their customer service is exceptional. Show details
Negative reviews
Dissapointed customer – I have been extremely disappointed with this internet service, especially due to their complete lack of communication. I only received one email three months before my service was cut off, informing me of the disconnection. However, because I did not receive that email, they had a full three months to contact me by phone, but failed to do so. As a… Read more
result, my service was disconnected.
To get my service reconnected, I was repeatedly frustrated by poor communication. I had to take a day off work for an NBN technician appointment, but the technician never showed up. When I followed up with the provider, I was told the appointment was canceled—but they never informed me. I lost a whole day's work. No compensaiton was offered, just a too bad so sad!
Finally, they rebooked the service for the NBN, but it has now been a week since I first contacted them. This entire process has been nothing but frustrating and disappointing. I am counting down the days until I can switch providers!
buffering – This pathetic organisation still only opens 8 to 5 despite being in the business of supposely providing a 24/7 product. Buffering so bad despite resetting my router l gave up trying to watch Stan. Taking money and not offering the service is in my opinion theft. Get your act together and open like all other internet providers do. Show details
Hi Gil. We’re sorry to hear about your buffering issues.… Read more

Very disappointed – I decided to try Penatnet to support a West Australian Company sales team that sold me what I thought would be an excellent product, that was not the case when I tried to call the Tech line for help I was on hold for 1 hour only to have the phone answered and hung up. After watching circles go around on Streaming 1 TV and no other devices on I… Read more
tried to cancel only to discover that I had unknowingly signed into a 12-month contract and had to pay $200 for a pathetic service. I even paid more than my previous provider. I would strongly not recommend supporting this company!

Pentanet run a ‘good ship’ it was very easy to sign up, had absolutely no issues at all with connections and they are always prompt to answer any emails. And being Perth based helps too.
Highly recommended!, Been a customer for a few years now, previously a NBN user,....Was pleasantly surprise at the constant speed always, even with everyone at home on their devices,...no lagging at peek hour, and I have everything in my home connected to the internet! No more fighting for speed at the exchange! Competitive pricing, excellent customer service!! Yes you talk to a real person in Australia! Great Product!
Superior performance and coverage. Excellent customer service. I used to be with Telstra. Yes I pay $10 a month more (woopy doo), but it is well worth it. I highly recommend Pentanet if you live in an area that receives it. Show details · 1
Pentanet has been fantastic, the internet is reliable and fast, and their customer service is always so genuine and helpful. They check in regularly, which makes me feel looked after. I’d happily recommend them to anyone. Show details
I sometimes forget we have an internet provider as the service is so reliable and seamless. I have had no issues and the internet is up and working 99.999% of the time. I would happily recommend Pentanet to anyone at this stage. Show details
Good service – Service generally very good, support team very patient and helpful. Sometimes it takes a while to get a response to issues encountered with the connection Show details
Great internet service provider – Fast stable internet. I had constant daily drops outs when with iprimus, and made the switch to Pentanet who have provided a much more stable connection with what might be a drop out every 3-4 months versus the 3-4 per day I was having with the old ISP. Very happy with their service. Show details
Best service I have found in our area :) – Excellent speed and rarely ever outages. Not affected by local peak usage times (eg. end of school day) and rarely ever had an outage. Have tried several providers in the past and cant go past these guys

Trouble free internet service – Moved to new area in September this year. Initial set up was prompt, no fuss with router provided free of charge.Internet has not missed a beat and has been trouble free ever since.
Happy Sandgropers ISP – Never any ISP interruptions and the speeds quoted are genuine and accurate. A Western Australian coy with WA-based workers. It is always a pleasure to speak with them and never any negatives, just genuine friendly discussions and happy resolutions. Most definitely the best ISP I have ever had.Happy Show details
Speed, Speed, Speed best in Perth – The best I did for my home internet, NBN speed is no where close to these guys, Installation and support is pretty cool and they are local from WA Show details
Best Service and Knowledge – Thanks Pentanet for putting us on the right track with a call out to our home. We now use our entertainment and technology without the frustration!!! Show details
Fast and reliable Internet, people great to deal with – I'm using Fixed Wireless from Pentanet for more than 4 years now. The speeds are as advertised and constantly reach the threshold - unlike what I had with a previous 'national' broadband provider where you pay for speeds you never get. Pentanet has been very easy to deal with. Recently they had a new plan with higher speeds at a better price, and… Read more
within minutes I was on the new plan - now paying less than before and having faster up and download speeds, which come in very handy for streaming and podcasting. Overall, I am very happy with Pentanet and their services and can only recommend them as your ISP using Fixed Wireless (if you have line of sight to the next tower)
I have had this account for nearly 6 years and have no reason at all to even think about changing – Reliable service, helpful staff. I had a problem with the modem and was given sensible and practical advice. Show details · 1
Pentanet works! – It works where others didn’t and relieved years of frustration with slow internet speeds. And their customer service reps are polite and helpful. Thank you, Pentanet! Show details · 1
Promises and Indaqueacies – Friday 14th Booked Connection for Sat Morning with Sales. Let down before connection. This seems to be common with Pentanet. FKN livid. Job booked for 12pm. Your tech rang at 11:21am and informed me running late. Approx 1:00 2:00pm arrival.. Rang again at 1:39pm to inform need to reschedule visit . Not good enough. I stated yesterday If job was… Read more
to be cancelled I would need to know first thing in the morning. A Days wages lost and further prevented from doing any other duties while waiting. This is just not good enough. Perhaps you need to review your promises and staff capability.
SORRY IS INADEQUATE.
