I get 935/95 which is close to the advertised speed of 1000/100 probably limited by an old modem/router Haven't noticed any outages besides when there has been scheduled maintenance which I get email/SMS for. Show details

excellent and professional performance – I was talking to Miss Mona on Sunday 15/12/2024 regarding my new NBN speed was not as expection of ultra fast plan. Miss Mona had been very kind and professional during this conversation. Unfortunately the issue was not able to solve at that moment but Mona has followed up this issue. The issue has been fixed up on the next day and it is working… Read more · 1

Worst experience of a company in my life. All in Australia – I've opened a few tickets and non of them has been followed up with. I even wanted to cancel the service, no update too. And of course from product review website here they'll mention to email suppport@swoop yada yada..and of course i did. No luck too. Simple, i'm paying for 1000/50 and they advertised typical evening speed of 975Mbps , but i've… Read more
consistently getting 220Mbps via Speedtest. Hence the few tickets opened for them mentioned before. Yea, of course i've power cycled everything, router, NBN box etc. Well, writing a review to let the world know how bad this company is. It's beyond believe that we are in Australia, with such service it is worst than any third world country i suppose, for me coming from 1 of those third world country.
ps: those 5 stars reviews? i really doubt it.

I was really disappointed when my Swoop NBN 1000/50 service was suddenly suspended because my NAB bank card got blocked. I understand these things can happen, but waiting around 10 days for a replacement card has been stressful, especially since I rely heavily on the internet for work, communication, and daily life. It created a lot of… Read more
inconvenience and uncertainty during that time.
However, my experience with customer service—especially Beth—made a big difference. She was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding from the beginning. Instead of just explaining the issue, she took the time to listen and offer a real solution. Beth introduced me to a payment plan option that I didn’t even know was available, and she guided me step by step through setting it up with two clear payment dates.
Her support turned what felt like a frustrating and stressful situation into something manageable and reassuring. I truly appreciate her professionalism, empathy, and willingness to help beyond expectations. It’s rare to come across someone who genuinely cares about resolving the issue and supporting the customer at the same time.
While the service suspension itself was disappointing, Beth’s help restored some confidence in the overall experience. I hope Swoop continues to improve flexibility and communication for situations like this, and also continues to value team members like Beth who make a real difference.
For anyone going through a similar situation, it can feel overwhelming at first—but with the right support, things can be worked out. Staying patient and reaching out to the right person really helps.
There are many bad things to say about the NBN but there is definitely no argument that is a net positive for consumer choice - if you're unhappy with a provider you can churn away to a new one with great ease. This is a churn out review, but let's be fair and talk about the entire "customer journey". The Swoop service was a perfectly adequate… Read more
NBN service. No bells and whistles, no notable problems. I did not need the support services so I cannot speak to them. Let me award 3 stars for providing a perfectly average baseline NBN service.
Eventually I decided to churn out to a new provider. I received an invoice on the 1st of the month and decided I could do better. I churned out on the 2nd of the month. This process was painless and very fast, and I award 1 star for this, as the automation for disconnections obviously works very well. I was connected to my new provider within literally a few minutes.
However, on the 7th I was charged for the full month of service (as per the invoice on the 1st). I had somewhat hoped that the disconnection would trigger a new invoice with the appropriate amount of credit so that the subsequent charge would be correct, but this did not occur. Note that the invoice and charge was for the month, in advance. It was clear that Swoop were quite happy to walk away with > 95% of my invoiced charge while providing no service at all.
So I filed a ticket via email, and to their credit was called back the next morning. After the usual "identify yourself" shenanigans I was "approved" a refund. This part seemed weird. Were they doing me a favour? Was *I* the bad person for expecting not to pay for a service I didn't get? I was told they would call again soon to finalise the process. I was bewildered why they would need to talk to me again if it was all approved - can't they just do it?
I missed the next couple of phone calls over the next few days (not Swoop's fault) and I eventually called them back myself today. Incredibly, this last part of the process took over 20 minutes, despite there being no phone queue. I was shuffled between three departments (despite choosing "account enquiry in the phone IVR menu), and I had to both re-identify myself each time (giving account details AND an SMS code) and re-explain the problem. There was zero handover between departments for a single phone call.
In the end all I had to provide was my card expiry (which they definitely already had, this is the same card they'd been happily charging me each month). I was told it might take "up to 21 business days" - a frankly incredible number. I asked if this was due to their card processor or their own internal process, and was told it was the latter. So - deliberately holding on to my money for as long as possible.
So -1.5 stars for not just automatically applying a credit/refund and -1.5 stars for making the manual process so annoying and tedious that a cynic might believe it was deliberately so to discourage people from getting their due refund.

The customer service is top-notch as well. Whenever I've had questions or needed assistance, the Swoop team has been responsive, friendly, and incredibly helpful. They go above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction.

My WiFi has been useless since the day we moved in. I was ready to cancel my plan with swoop as every time I’ve called the people haven’t been very helpful and kept blaming it on the Ethernet cord even though I tried multiple cords So when I got DIRO on the end of the phone it was a breath of fresh air. He was so incredibly helpful. He listened… Read more
to the problems I was having with the internet. He took the time to investigate it and was very thorough to ensure no double handling. Hes managed to fix my internet to have a stable connection as an interim fix and escalated to nbn for a fully fixed and fast internet connection. On top of all of this he’s managed to get nbn to come out with 48 hours of my call. He has gone above and beyond for customer service, he is an asset. Give this guy a pay rise!
Drex is being professional and very patient on my request of service cancellation, all good for swoop just need to travel for a couple of months. Hopefully there will be temporally internet service suspension so that user won't have to cancel the service. Show details

I was having an issue with my internet connection so turned it on and off, still didnt work then I reset the modem and ended up with no connection at all. I called tech support and was greeted by Jermaine who helped me reconfigure my modem in a very timely manner and also reminded me to not reset my modem myself unless asked by tech support lol. Thank you, Jermaine, for your help, my kids will be happy when they get home :) Show details

in customer focused in their approach. I hope to see improvements as they grow and with grow, retain this customer focus.
We moved house last year and went from Telstra to Swoop. I cannot believe how good Swoop are. Aside from the actual tech stuff which works perfectly (as it should), what really sets them apart is their customer service and chat support !!!!!! You chat to a real human being who takes the time to sort out the 'problem' or whatever there and then. Possibly the best chat support I have ever used in any company. Worth six stars, not five!

Drex was fantastic. I think he may well have been the best customer service agent I've ever had. He helped answer all my questions and even chased up pushing through the provisioning of the new service.
