John B. Was great!! Very active with responses. Fixed my issue himself in less than a few hours. Very polite. And it was all through whatsapp. So convenient. 5 stars!! Show details
Edward went to so much trouble to help me with delivery issues. Thanks to him I finally received my shipment of the modem I ordered. He even called back twice to ensure things were on track and offered to help with the installation if necessary. I was quite upset due to other circumstances but he talked me through. I have not received such good… Read more
service for a long time. Thank you Edward for your patience and thoughtfulness. They are fortunate to have you on staff.

Cherry provided exception service to help us change our payment optiond and add a new person to have authority on our account. It became a bit tricky due to reasons beyond her control, but Cherry was extremely patient with us, and gave us instructions that were easy to follow. Her manner was friendly, respectful and very professional. Show details · 1

service , was very determined to fix the problem. Was polite and caring. Called me straight back when the phone line disconnected. No one was able to fix the issue. Jasmine , you’re a legend! SUPER HAPPY. It’s all working perfect. I can’t thank you enough! (Was hoping I didn’t have to purchase a new modem)
Sarah was very patient in helping me solved our slow nbn speed. She was professional and give clear guidance. Awesome service. Show details

My problem had nothing to do with Spintel. It was a Tp Link Deco modem problem. Cherry did try extremely hard to rectify the problem, yet eventually I needed to go to TP Link (whom were excellent id like to say). I've never once had any dropout, or throttling etc from Spintel. And here Cherry, Customer Representative, went above and beyond to… Read more
help me resolve this very quickly, unlike my previous Provider Flip, 5 years of loyalty wasted for multiple reasons and 6 weeks of no internet with flip, yes they had throttled my service (I have proof). Go with Spintel, I'm a very happy customer. Never ever go with flip, I promise even after 5 years, you will regret it. Other providers I have no idea about, except they charge a lot more and why pay more?? Ha ha..sounds like a typical ad, I'm just telling you from this experienced but now older. dinasaur, Spintel is a keeper. For me definitely. A good Company is hard to find in this age of Corporate nonsense. Oh yeah, never had a line drop out, not once. So great after the flip era. Connection speeds are always what's paid for +. I have 5 different testing programs. Of course that was because of the flip nightmare. OK, I will tell you a tiny bit about a seriously sick provider..flip... 6 weeks later I signed up with Spintel. Within 2 hours of Spintel notifying flip of change of a provider...wow, amazing flip had my service running normally, you see that's called flip throttling, its all documented in speed test and others. Im sure they're not the only ones. Run your own speed tests, that's the real proof.
The WORST internet company in Australia. I live near the exchange and I live in a capital city and I am the only person in my household. There is no excuse for SPINTEL not to have good internet given I am the only one using it in my home and how close I am to the exchange. However, I cannot stream television without the internet showing a spinning… Read more
circle (buffering) every few seconds. Please see the video I recorded. In frustration, I bought a brand new laptop because I thought maybe the older laptop was the problem but a 5-day old laptop with 16 GB Ram has made absolutely no difference. For over a decade I was with TPG but never had a SINGLE issue. I shall be moving back to TPG.
I asked for help to deal with an unreliable connection. I used their online chat feature to try to get help. They said they had escalated it and would be in contact soon. 3 weeks later they never tried to make contact via phone or email. Show details

Follow-up · After over 12 months I still give Spintel a five star rating. 8 months ago a problem with dropouts was solved by replacing my old Archer VR600V with a new Archer VX1800V. No dropouts since. The plan I am on (which is the cheapest I can find) has increased to $69.95/month for Unlimited data@ 25/10Mbps. Speed measured by Ookla Speedtest is usually 23/9Mbps. Setup, using my own modem was no problem, but then I'm an experienced user. Still happy.

I'm new to SpinTel but already very happy to be a customer! I had issues with my NBN box and first contacted Mel over the phone. Mel (sorry if misspelling your name) was absolutely fantastic, extremely friendly, prompt and on the spot, very kind and understanding, listening and then helping me quickly explaining everything I wasn't sure of with… Read more
patience.
I had to sent over some additional info and docs, but the email came with massage 'undelivarable'.
So I used the chat box on the website. After a few checks with the robot, I got Julius who was a pleasure to chat with. It's funny how you connect for a problem, but then end up feeling great from the interaction :) Julius was very quick to grasp why I'm contacting, and then very patient to explain and wait for me to do things properly; and finally, I believe, going out of his role - he found the confirmation I was after so to make sure things are successfully resolved.
Many hanks to Mel and Julius! And SpinTel in general. Wonderful team you've got guys :)
The Internet pack and the excellent support from the team is worth SO MUCH the time I spent to research for the best Internet provider. It made my life easier now. Couldn't be happier! Thank you :)
I am back with Spintel , I just signed up , but didn’t start well ; ever since I connected , I couldn’t watch you tube without being interrupted paused and reloaded until my screen froze ? Contacted Spintel ( there is still a long wait to speak with someone and if you use their message support ? Don’t waste your time because their message support… Read more
is very unhelpful and rude ! They will just stop responding without notice and live you stuck , if this merits a review ? The transcription of my interactions is been recorded . I decided to change provider because I am dying and cannot be bothered wasting the time I got left with this nuisance! But the guy that spoke to me ( mark) indeed was very helpful, not only he was helpful but is easy to see someone genuinely knowledgeable, after some instructions he insisted I should watch and check any improvement ! But this time he call me back , and that was outstanding ! He persevered and I believe he fixed my problem , don’t think k was getting the speed I was paying for , he never stopped calling me and frankly if it wasn’t for him I would have moved with Origen as they have my electricity account .
My eldery neigbour signed up with Spintel (with my help) for internet and a home phone service. Her original service was a phone only with Telstra, and being charged a fortune. Having a good connectionmy self I suggested Spintel for price and hewr basic needs. BOY was I wrong. We have HFC in our street. Initialy the home phone was cut over by… Read more
Spintel before the new NBN service was complete, and left her with no home phone for emergency. How do they think this works for someone that hasnt got a mobile!! Then we got her a good quality own modem/router would not connect after nbn activation, they couldnt make it work so they blamed the modem. !! I knew it wasnt as i tested the modem at another address and it worked fine. So I exchanged it, got her one they suggested, gues what that wouldnt work ether, their tec staff couldnt make it work !! after th 10th or so call the tchnican told me the setting they were giving me were wrong. He gave me the right settings and all good. Next was the home phone, the same technican got the phone conected registered and ringing using the original telstra phone. Four weeks later her phone stopped rininging, I went over and worked out the phone would make and receive calls but would not ring any more after 3 cals and 6 hours on the phone, trying 4 different phones, one brand new one I bought between the calls NBN comliant, they couldnt make it ring. Rings once and thats it. Their advice was all 4 phones were faulty thats including the new one !!! And refused to continue and fix the problem, and refused to accept that its and issue at their end . All excuses an noting more So they have left an eldery lady who is 90+ (and still sharp as a tack) and with life saving devices in the house without a properly functioning landline. They couldnt comprehend if the phone even rings once as it should its not the hand set. I was a level 1 support tec myself some years back and very tec savey both PC and Mainframes, so I had already done all the prelim checks etc before I called them. Be aware that if you are considering them think 3 times before signing up, and I myself am looking for another provider now.

Was following up on progress of my my new service to be installed and was so fortunate your customer service person Cherry was able to support me through numerous questions. In addition she committed to calling me back on progress when service was activated. Cherry was excellent ,spoke clearly and articulate well all the steps. A great representative of Spin Tel.

I tried to sign up with Spintel using my full name as requested but then I tried to pay and because my bank card only has the first initial of my name, Spintel said that the names don't match. There was no way to go back and edit the account name so there was no way of me signing up with them. They make it really difficult which is a shame because… Read more
right now they are the cheapest provider.
Unfortunately I can't provide proof of purchase as they chose to make it impossible for me to purchase.
