My experience with Skymesh today was regarding internet outage. I was in contact twice and had the same online assistant Melody. Can't complain about the customer service even though my issue was not solved. The outage was, and still is an NBN issue not a Skymesh issue. Show reply
If there was the capacity to score a minus for this provider that's what they'd get from me. Skymesh has repeatedly overcharged us despite I'd say about 10 hours on the phone to their contact centre, promised responses, not followed up, been utterly hopeless. The only thing that's any use at all is the internet service is okay. The rest of the… Read more
company doesn't appear to be able to deal with paying back funds to customers they've overcharged within 10 business days but perfectly capable of billing them in a single day turn around. You know how Qantas was appalling during Covid with doing anything right.. that's what Skymesh reminds me of. I can't actually believe it is an Australian business because of the unethical and inept way it acts.

Definitely satisfied – Solid service. Consistent in speeds and connection. From the get go it was a fast seamless process for setup and install. Billing is simple and easy. The only thing I could say against them say the first person in the customer centre I spoke with seemed very rushed and just trying to get off the phone. Still managed to get all my questions answered etc. Show details · 1
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!

No problems with service, but concerns regarding Skymesh's billing records, after they effectively double-billed us. Many hours on the phone established that while I had records from Skymesh invoices of continual payments, backed by my bank's… Read more
records, the company's records showed we hadn't been paying since July last year. Cue a set of demanding emailed invoiced for the "unpaid" invoices. The matter went to Skymesh's Disputes process, and seemed to then get nowhere. After three weeks of this I contacted the TIO, and today, a fortnight later, it seems we have resolution. Sincerely hope they've improved their accounting at Skymesh!

Follow-up · In the end, Skymesh responded positively to the surveillance by the TIO, and took a conciliatory approach to solving the problem. Essentially, they worked out what the payments that we HAD made to the existing account totalled, and credited that to the new account. So for about eight months we were making no payments, then 'normal service'… Read more

I had a couple of issues whilst changing to the new speed plan. I expect this and am not concerned. After contacting Skymesh they really went all out on solving the issue quickly. All good now and still a very happy customer. Show details · 1
Follow-up · It turned out to be a Modem issue. I purchased a new Telstra Smart Modem 4 and it connected straight up with amazing speeds. Infact better than the plan speeds promised. I also added 2x extenders from Telstra and have perfect wifi in the shed as well. Very happy with everything.
Tech support after transferring to Skymesh from Dodo was excellent. Very short wait time. Transfer to Tech was instant with just 1 call waiting. Rafael was patient and very helpful bypassing the 24 hr connection and helping me in resetting router… Read more

Follow-up · After starting up the nbn speeds dropped to lowest known to the point I could not stream anything and wifi calling dropped out. Speeds marketed were false. I cancelled within 48 hours and returned to Dodo!

Either completely uncaring ignoramuses or maliciously unhelpful - it must be one of the two. On first contact to get advice about a company account under the name of someone who left 6 the company years ago I was advised to ignore the bill and it will go away. The bill is on direct debit and cannot be cancelled - they block the ability to stop… Read more
paying them money for services which haven't been used in years.
With no prior engagement - after being greeted with "MOBILE, EMAIL OR ACCOUNT NUMBER??", when the response was a polite query for advice about what an innocent can do when receiving erroneous bills from Skymesh: "We are not at liberty to reveal any information". When reiterated "I just want advice, not restricted information - what can I do?" "Yes, just ignore it."
No investigation, no encouragement to provide context such as bill reference number (in fact discouragement of it by the first response). Uncaring and unhelpful, completely uninterested in painting Skymesh as pleasant to deal with. Trained to curl up in a staunch defense stance and be as unhelpful as possible the moment you say you haven't a mobile number connected to an account.
Really VERY disgusting reception. I will never use this company and I will go out of my way to advise against them.

2 HRS call waiting! Wasn't all bad – I live in semi remote Western Australia with no phone service at all! Around 2 years ago I had a Skymesh dish installed and was blown away, I was connected, the data speeds were fast, the price was reasonable and I was happy. No reason to contact them. More recently however I had a connection issue with what turned out to be a hardware setting in… Read more · 1
the router after an update. Nobody's fault really. After getting the sales team on the phone within seconds I was transferred to tech support. 2 HOURS I waited!!! Far too long!!! It wasn't all bad though after the long wait Technical Guru Rees picked up the phone, in a matter of minutes he had solved the issue and we were working as one checking for any other dramas. Rees knows his stuff, which is great because I'm about as tech savy as an old boot. He didn't seem to mind that though he just slowed it down a notch for me and we got there. My connection is restored, my Skymesh service is back to normal and there is peace here again.
Installation Issues – I cannot speak highly enough of the help and patient assistance that Rees has provided me over the last couple of weeks. The NBN technician installed the NBN receiver & modem as scheduled but the Skymesh router did not arrive until at least a week later, so I could not test anything. Once it arrived, I connected everything per the instructions… Read more · 1
but had no internet. At this stage I rang Skytmesh Support and after quite a wait I was able to speak with Rees. Using his detailed instructions we interrogated the system, including the wiring, port connections and finally the Skymesh Router settings for more than an hour but could not find the fault. Over the next couple of days there were more tests and finally Rees confirmed there was an NBN fault and decided to escalate the fault to the NBN. I had internet within 2 hours.
It was only Rees’ tenacity and patience that allowed us to overcome a very frustrating situation and resolve the issue in respectful and civil manner.

Served by NASH. He was very helpful and knew who to contact in the business to assist me with getting a username and password. Did not leave me on hold endlessly and kept me up to date on what he was doing. As a past customer for 12+ years when on my farm, I was excited when I was able to move back to Skymesh for my internet needs. I have always found the service to be exceptional, and the staff are very competent. Show reply

automatically debit out of my card with no issue but never had a follow up about my poor speeds, I asked to cancel after being with them for 4 years but they won’t refund any unused months and say I have to give 30days notice which I think is poor customer service I won’t ever be back The customer service gave been very unhelpful and just think the problem would go away on its own, this internet provider has caused me so much stress I hope no one goes with them and go with another provider or just go starlink

We live in a suburb of Perth WA but it’s in a small rural pocket - but still a Perth metropolitan suburb! But you can't get NBN or any other fast internet connect other than Starlink (and I hate Musk so don't want to support him polluting space with thousands of satellites) or fixed wireless service. I thought I'd try Skymesh as they promised a… Read more
fairly good service at a fair enough price. Placed the order a month ago and was told that the soonest that they could install anything was 5 March - OK I can live with that. Then the 4th March I get a text to say we can't install this on 6 March but could on 5 March in the afternoon please ring this number to confirm. I called to them to be told sorry we don't actually have you booked in anywhere you should take this up with Skymesh. So around the loop we go and Skymesh cant get anyone at NBN to talk to them but promised to get back to me this week with an answer. The answer arrived today to say that the soonest they can do the install is 2 April - 2 months after the the initial order. I know that NBN Co has agreed service standards with all of its providers but no one seems to hold them to account for them - that's what happens when you have a monopoly on the market. NBN can do what they want with no comeback!

During the order process, I selected the Tenda router that only comes with WPA/WPA2. Once I was setup, I identified I needed a router with latest Wi-Fi security protocols. An online chat with Melody quickly identified my need for the newer Netcomm Router. Order placed and I should epect it here in a day or two. Melody was very responsive during the chat and reached back to her tech team as needed. Great customer service. Thank you. Show details · 1
