$84.00 a month for 1.74 mbps – The internet is reliable only until 6pm. Waste of time and money. Had been happening for the entire week and the staff insist the problem was our devices. I used my mobile data on telstra and everything was good. They support said that u should stand next the router. I am using LAN cables. The customer support said maybe its the server overseas is… Read more
the problem. Yeah right. Blame it on others. Speed test it 9x. All ping was over 7ms. Going with them as the internet provider was a bad idea. For anyone looking for a good provider. Look somewhere else.
false advertising – poor speeds and drop outs then they blame my end. Seems they always blame everyone but themselves for a problem and when you call and talk to them and show them the speed they tell you that you are wrong Show details
Positive reviews
Outstanding service from Pentanet. Their speed, reliability, and local support have always been great, but their customer service truly sets them apart. When no other provider was able to help upgrade my connection from FTTN to FTTP, Pentanet stepped up and found a solution. They took on a challenge others wouldn’t, and I’m incredibly grateful for the effort and professionalism they showed throughout the process. Highly recommended.
The service provided by the entire team has been exceptional. Any issues were resolved promptly, and the only outage experienced was related to an NBN issue, not Pentanet. The team consistently followed up and ensured that everything was working as expected and that I was satisfied with the outcome. That level of proactive customer service is… Read more
becoming increasingly rare and really sets them apart from other providers. The speeds provided on my plan are consistently reliable and remain close to the advertised rates, with very little fluctuation.
The connection is great. I would say that over a year I may had had 2 dropouts. It is good to see a local company growing. At the same time it would be good if the response to queries or questions were answered in a timely manner as they were at the start. A big plus is local support and the speeds are pretty good.
Negative reviews
I am absolutely appalled at the toxic culture Pentanet takes towards it's customers. I attempted to access the Nexus network but was told it would take around 6 months to roll out to my area, but that if I churned to their standard NBN, I could lock in the lifetime rate. The standard NBN rate was higher than other providers, but I chose to trust… Read more
them and take on that offer. 2 years later, still no access to Nexus, so I went looking for a better deal, which I found on Superloop. I was churned 7 days into the new billing cycle and requested a pro-rata refund for the unused portion of the month, which is standard practice for every other ISP I have dealt with. Despite this history and not having provided 3/4 of a month of service, Pentanet denied my request based on 'policy'. This is pure theft. Be warned, this company is just a cash grab.

We have been having continual outtages wih Pentanet for the last 4 months. They replaced the modem without avail and have basically been going around in circles with their technical support. Do not waste your time and money with Pentanet, it seems to me they are a below par service provider. Show details
Hi Richard, We're sorry to hear about your experience… Read more
Terrible service – I used Pentanet’s NBN service and was highly disappointed. Their support was slow and unhelpful, and they slapped me with hidden fees when I changed my address. It feels like they prioritize extra charges over decent service. I’d recommend finding a more transparent provider. Show details

I would just like to leave a glowing review to the lady (Carol) who helped me with a problem that entailed an unexpected outage with my NBN on Monday 03-08-2026. My initial conversation was dealt with very well and she went through all the testing… Read more
procedures to try and find out what was wrong while I was on the phone. So when nothing worked, it was left for NBN to sort out. In the meantime, I had already received a message to let me know about the outage from NBN.
I rang to check in about 2hrs later and got Carol again when I rang, and she had confirmed that there was still no fix happened. I did mention to her that I had some urgent work to do, so she advised me to keep an eye on the modem and if all my modem lights came back on in the meantime, it would be OK to use again.
About 30 mins after that call, Carol rang me to make sure I had seen the system was fixed, and said as I had told her that i had some urgent work to do. She had been keeping an eye on the system to see when it come back up, and decided to ring me and let me know in case I had not noticed.
That was in my mind great service from Carol and was much appreciated, and in line with all the great service I have received over the years from Pentanet. Please pass on my thanks to Carol for her great service.
Follow-up · In relation to NBN message. I did get an NBN message about the same time that Pentanet let me know there was an outage. Outage lasted about 1 to 2 hours from memory. Modem was perfect. I received a phone call from Pentanet to let me know the system was back up, the lights on the modem come back on and everything worked perfectly. No problems since
Why aren't YOU using Pentanet for your NBN Service ?? I've been with Pentanet since January 2024, and I can honestly tell you that I have NEVER had an issue with them. Not 1 complaint, not like the other b...dy providers that I have used. They will all tell you that they are 100% perfect, but I can tell you that they are not. They will lock you… Read more
into a contract and then you're stuck with them, like it or not. Pentanet have NEVER let me down, EVER. Please do yourself a favour, DO NOT renew your contract until you try Pentanet .... trust me ..... You won't be sorry.
I work from home and play online games. The speed on my plan has been nothing but fanfrickingtastic since I joined. I have experienced a few drop outs every now and then though I‘ve been troubleshooting it with no problem and the internet goes back to normal fairly quickly without needing further assistance from the team. Having said that, the… Read more
customer service I‘ve received during the switch was top quality. They were very friendly, professional, efficient - basically making sure that I was looked after from start to finish. I cannot fault PentaNet and have recommended my friends to switch. 200 hours and counting on Hitman. Need that stable internet to finish my online missions and be crowned Silent Assassin‘s top 10 global chart.
These guys are fricken awesome, on the ball and very helpfull, the service is really good to, highly recommend, after useing belong for years, I wish I changed sooner. Show reply

Extremely reliable connection. Been with Pentanet for years and have never had any major issues. I really like that they are a local company and easily contactable. Definitely recommend.
Absolutely love Pentanet! Consistent and great speeds, no troubles. Makes working from home an absolute breeze! Show details · 1
From initial contact through to help with setup, Pentanet have been fantastic. Major point is that we are not speaking with an overseas call centre. Very reliable - we have had no outages in the years with them. Show details
Was a long and complicated install, due to some unique factors, but Pentanet worked through every bump in the road and over a year in with no outages, excellent service front and back end. Show details
Staff are responsive, service is consistent and just really good.
Needed a fair bit of support to get it up and running and the support staff were absolutely wonderful. Thanks Pentanet Show details
Fast reliable and great communication at reasonable pricing. We tried many and this is far the best providers we have used. Show details
PENTANET made the entire experience of getting the internet put on at my house, seamless. Even though, there were some problems using my old router, the technical guys at PENTANET, sorted it all out and made it work. I was really impressed with how they genuinely wanted to solve the problem, and they reassured me the whole time it will work out… Read more
fine. And it did! So, they have one more happy and ongoing customer. They looked after me and valued my custom, which is rare with many other businesses these days. And the biggest PLUS ++++ is that it’s a local company, and you gets to speak to knowledgeable AUSTRALIANS on the other end of the phone line.
After a shocking experience with my ex internet provider, I looked for a new one and was recommended Pentanet. I do not regret my decision to join Pentanet and only wish I had known about them sooner as I would have swapped over years ago. Friendly, polite, helpful and prompt service to begin with, and a call centre in W.A. supporting this… Read more
lovely W.A. business. What's not to like? Reasonable and competitive rates, too. I've had no dropouts. Everything is running smoothly. I have zero complaints or concerns.

At our initial set up Pentanet were extremely helpful. Since then we have had no problems. They provide an extremely reliable service. Show details
SHOCKINGLY BAD – UNFORTUNATELY CANT GIVE NEGATIVE STAR RATINGS - So from day one when we moved into our brand new home we have had issues, they sent out an engineer just 2 days after moving into out new home to change out the supplied equipment, however, nothing changed, the service has constantly dropped out and we have NEVER NEVER NEVER had the speed that we are… Read more
paying a LOT OF MONEY FOR each month. Support is also shocking as they are only open office hour, and when you work full time that's difficult to deal with, especially when your on hold for an hour to get through. When you do eventually get to speak to someone they go through the same questions and sequence that they actually blame your own internal equipment and never their equipment, and then the day after, without any changes the system seams to work perfectly for a couple of day only though and then back to the same issues - I DO NOT RECOMMEND PENTANET AT ALL - MATT.
