 AI reviews summary 

Pros
Technical support: Support staff are knowledgeable and patient when guiding users through complex router configurations and email setup issues.
Response times: Queries via phone and live chat are typically answered quickly with minimal waiting.
Issue resolution: Troubleshooting for connectivity and billing problems is often handled efficiently in a single interaction.
Service for rural areas: The satellite and fixed wireless options provide reliable internet access for regional locations where other infrastructure is unavailable.
Cons
Cancellation and billing: The 30-day notice period and advanced payment requirements lead to unexpected charges after services are terminated.
Speed and stability: Connections occasionally experience dropouts during storms or fail to reach advertised speeds in certain locations.
Refund processing: Overcharged funds or promised refunds can take several weeks to be returned to bank accounts.
Communication consistency: Information regarding account holds or plan changes is sometimes contradictory or not followed up as promised.
Verdict

The service is highly regarded for its accessible and patient technical support team which effectively resolves most setup and connectivity issues. However, administrative processes such as cancellations and refund handling are less reliable and can be frustrating for users. While it provides a vital service for rural areas, performance can be inconsistent depending on local conditions and weather.

I am very grateful for Mary Grace's patience and assistance today and to the three other support people that I spoke to yesterday - my problem with internet connection (not due to Skymesh, only to a failed router) was clarified and fixed - thank you all very much!

Enthusiastic when one is putting potential customer but between the Sale and servicing provided is a huge unfathomable abyss to swallow you up. Says for Seniors.

all Thursday. Horrified and stressed. Bill shiws incomplete service address with no unit number stated!? We have 12 units here? Incompetent and uncaring to my view. Grandma gives thumbs DOWN

Hello. Be warned. Last week I sent Skymesh an email complaining about how unhappy we were with there service and to let them have there say, and showing there arrogance, I got no reply, so here is there negative feedback.. We were with Skymesh for 19+ years and this company has shown us absolutely NO loyalty. They don't answer emails or phone… Read more

call if you leave a massage. About two months ago they sent us an email saying they were going to put a tax of $4.95 to have our four email addresses with them. Four email addresses with them would have been an extra $19.80 on top of our monthly fee of $94. I rang them to work something out, as we are on a pension, but they wouldn't drop the tax put on our account, even when we have been with them for nearly 20 years. They have sent there answering service off shore and are not the same company anymore. We left them on the 1st of November and were glad to see the back of them. Not Happy. Thank you for reading my feedback.

Mya, Yhe young Irish lass, at the call centre was informative, polite, 'NOT PUSHY' and did not bombard me with calls, like a few other providers did that I was considering so they got blocked. The process was made easy, and fully explained to me. Mya actually advised me to 'not' go with the 400mb plan as I'd originally committed to, as my area… Read more ·  1

was only good for 250mb, so we decided to go one plan down, which was still twice as fast as my previous provider & it was good that she did not just accept the higher monthly amount when I'd not be getting the speeds I thought on the higher plan.

I'm on 5 acres, so I actually had 2 X internet set ups, meaning 2 bills, however, after checking terms & conditions, the new Skymesh plan allows me to use a wifi extender with a 5km range to easily reach the front dwelling 150 - 200m away, so going from $160 for 2 internet set ups in each dwelling to one Skymesh set-up for under $100 and a 'one off' cost for top of the line wifi extender to cover the entire property.

So in summary, very happy to date with initial process and service & advice from Mya, which is why I've decided to change providers, after 10yrs.

I've read some 'negative' reviews, but as is the case with 'all' other providers reviews also, it's dependent on location etc.

The initial 30 day trial period, will allow me to better ascertain my choice, and if necessary upgrade to St#rlink but I'm confident that won't be necessary.

I upgraded plan to a higher speed on Friday and they promised it will speed up in the next 24 hours, but it didn't. I have called again this morning, they said they can't see my new plan. Than the guy transffered me to the 'right department' and they said it will be upgraded in 48 hours... So it is a game they play, as I still haven't received any confirmation in email. Something is very wrong with their service.

I had every intention of signing up with Skymesh as the owner of the house I'm moving into told me they were the best for this area. The prices were hidden unless you gave a name and number, first red flag, it's 2026 be open and transparent about your pricing. I'm currently working on nightshift, they rang me 3x times, every 2x hours, I had no… Read more

idea who it was and their number came up as "Suspected Spam", so I didn't answer, they left a voicemail on the 3rd call, great, at least I know who it is, I'll call them back when I get up tomorrow. Nope. They rang again this morning, I've answered and, being honest, was very unfriendly with the lady on the phone, why? Because you've woken me up 2x days in a row. Unfortunately I can't put my phone on silent as I have to be available to my team. This pushy marketing needs to stop, at least change the front page so I can put in a comment to let you know I'm on nights and not to ring between certain hours. I got a text saying reply "STOP" to opt out, I did it, they still rang the next day. The constant calling is unnecessary and will lose you more customers then it will gain. Now I'm forced to take on Elon because these supposed Aussie Muppets can't stop calling, needless to say, I've blocked them.

Complete fraud and thief's of a company. Took out 2 payments of $284.80, at first completely denied the second transaction. Until I showed my bank statement. Now they are saying that it can take 10 days to return the money, I didn't give them permission or didn't have a direct debit setup for them to double up on payment. Complete scammers, plus it runs slow and disconnects. So cranky and financially screwed now. Show details

I didn't think they could be WORSE than Bigpond and iiNet. THEY ARE!! ... NO SERVICE ON WEEKENDS and they DON'T get back to you during the week! This is our 5th weekend using Skymesh and the internet dropouts are worse than we've ever experienced before. Download Speeds tested on Stan gave results of 6.64 & 6.78 Mbps with a Latency of 134 &… Read more

146 ms.

There's certainly no consistency in the speed testing results. I've tried 2 more recommended sites. 'Fast' had the Download speed at 2.6Mbps with the Unloaded Latency at 32ms whilst the Upload speed reached 13Mbps with a Loaded latency of 915ms.

'SpeedTest' was run 3 times with Download speeds of 17.39Mbps, 2.18Mbps & 8.81Mbps. The corresponding Latency for each was 30ms, 69ms & 50ms.

The problem looks to be dropouts caused by this erratic service. All I know is we can't stream a simple video on the lowest quality settings and that is FAR FROM THE SERVICE I WAS PROMISED BY [Name Removed] WHEN SHE SIGNED ME UP AND TOOK MY MONEY!

I would have preferred that the email charge was described as a promotion rather than find out during the phone conversation. I get a reduced overall charge for six months and then will be subject to a price hike as I understand. I would much prefer a direct approach re impending price rises although of course the temporary reduction is welcome.

I have had a Skymesh email address for a long time however the latest version of MS Outlook in Office 365 makes using POP3 servers very difficult indeed. I bought a new Mini PC and went to install MS Outlook and Microsoft's on AI Co-Pilot advised after I'd tried all the recommended ports and protocols and it still wouldn't work that "this is by… Read more ·  1

design on new MS Outlook installs not a fault" and advised only option was use web client or a third-party application like Thunderbird or older version of Office.

I tried Thunderbird it would receive Skymesh emails but would not send from Skymesh I'm also no fan of its interface. My older laptop ran MS Outlook fine and continued to, so I called Skymesh Technical support and spoke to the very helpful and knowledgeable Mike. He advised it is difficult to configure manually and seems to be hit or miss, but he took the time and trouble along with screenshare and got it all functioning again saving meaning the MS Outlook software I had pain for was actually of use to me.

Skymesh's technical Team need to come up with a permanent fix for this difficulty given MS Outlook is largest commercial selling email application, the fix should not involve selecting ports and protocols and manually entering server names. By contrast adding my gmail account was done with a wizard and all I needed was email address and password for the web client.
