The customer support was very quick in understanding the situation and crediting our account. This includes unsuspending their service. I should rate lower considering we should not have been overcharged in the first place but this a review of this specific customer service call. Show details

I had wireless for many years with NODE ONE, and with the NBN update switched to fibre. SWOOP preformed the transfer seamlessly. Plug and play and change over to fibre took less than a few minutes. Download speed is significantly faster. Very good service. And Kar gave excellent service after a billing mix up. Show details

I’m extremely disappointed with the level of service provided by SWOOP. Over the past four months, I’ve experienced frequent internet disruptions and connectivity issues — far more than I’ve ever encountered with any other provider. What has made the experience even worse is the quality of customer support. Response times are consistently slow,… Read more

issues take far too long to resolve, and interactions with support staff have often felt dismissive and unnecessarily harsh rather than helpful or professional.

Reliable internet service and responsive customer care are basic expectations, especially when customers are paying for a service every month. Unfortunately, this provider has failed to meet those expectations repeatedly.

Based on my experience, I would not recommend this provider to others.

Hi Jermaine, thank you so very much for your patience with me during my NBN upgrade. I am not very familiar with computers and electronics, also my phone touch pad is extremely sensitive, that is why I was making so many mistakes. Thank you again for staying with me during the connection. Kind regards, Dudley Hickey. Show details

 Follow-up  · 1) Yes it did cost more. 2) The speed increase is not really noticeable, the TV still drops out, not as often, and nothing seems faster than before. 3) The upgrade only took hours.

RUBBISH internet access. Overseas helpline. They trick you by testing the speed limit of the wrong thing. Imagine a firefighters water hose but only a tiny drop of water is coming out. Their test will tell you that you’re getting 535mbps! Wowww but… Read more

in truth you can’t load google. Speedtest.net take 3 minutes to load standing next to wifi box yet says I’m getting 500+mbps

***UPDATE*** Spent 40 minutes on the phone doing exactly the same things again but now I have to test 9pm, 6am and 12pm tomorrow so they have more “data”. What an insane conversation and backwards company

 Follow-up  · They straight up cancelled my service without any warning instead of fixing the issue. Crap company and far from australian

If I could put negative star I would. Brand new customer, purchased a $99 modem and joined a $72 a month plan so paid $171, great. Instantly received an email saying I needed to pay a further $29 for my $198 bill, confused… They’ve sent 2 modems and tell me to send the second one back and I’ll be credited. Only 1 modem is delivered to me, the… Read more

second modem the delivery service has provided photos of where it’s left… wrong house. I call to inform them and to set up my internet on the modem I did receive. During this phone call my account is charged another $72 that I wasn’t informed of or agree to because I already paid $171… I question it and they once again tell me to send the second modem back that has been delivered to some unknown address and they will credit me. But also I have to pay myself to have it send back. I’ve been on the phone for hours with so many different people, half have accents so think I cannot understand them, and currently down $243 for a $171 bill with no hope of being credited $99 (MINUS shipping) because some random has the second modem. Only recommend this company to people you don’t like because after a day of dealing with these id*ots you will have pulled all your hair out

I honestly do not write reviews very often, but this experience with Swoop Broadband really stood out because of the amazing support I received from Drexell. I used to be a Swoop customer before switching to another provider after seeing a cheaper offer. Sadly, that decision turned into a nightmare. The new internet connection completely stopped… Read more

working and my home was left without internet for two full days. No matter how many times I contacted their support team, they just could not fix the issue.

Since I was overseas at the time, the whole situation became even more stressful. Out of frustration, I reached out to Swoop through live chat to see if they could help me reconnect.

That’s when Drexell came in and completely changed the experience for me.

She was incredibly patient, responsive, and genuinely caring throughout the whole process. Drexell personally looked after the new connection activation from start to finish and stayed connected with me in the chat the entire time. What impressed me most was that she did not leave the conversation halfway through or pass me around to different people. She stayed until the internet was fully restored and working again.

In a world where customer service often feels rushed and impersonal, Drexell’s support felt truly human. She made a very frustrating situation so much easier to deal with.

A huge thank you to Drexell and the Swoop team. This experience reminded me that good customer support really does make all the difference.

Our Internet had been going great at 500Mbps mac until suddenly speeds dropped to about 10Mbps and nearly unusable!! Tried the usual troubleshooting. Ended up ringing Swoop for support. Didn't get up to ringing them until Sunday afternoon and never got through after waiting ages. Thought they were busy. Emailed them and no response the day… Read more

after. They did say on their automated response they are experiencing a massive amount of requests for support.

I did ring through late today. Took a while to get through (did ring as the normal support team finish for the day) - but once I got through the gentleman was super professional, patient, and understanding. He asked a few questions about the uplink cable we are using. I did put a new modem in when we upgraded to 500Mbps but once I looked at the uplink - it looked like a very old cable.

Found another one in my box of goodies and rebooted the modem.

Did another speed test on my laptop. Went from 4-5Mbps this afternoon to 320Mbps. The gentleman thought I was on the 2.4Ghz network. Did the same speed test on my very new phone which was definitely on the 5Ghz network and maxed out at 520Mbps!!

So yes took a while to get through. But the quality of the support provided was amazing!! Great job!

Signed up with Swoop for NBN and a landline at an existing home. I provided all required details, including the AVC ID and landline number, but then received an email confirming a “new home” connection with no AVC ID listed. This immediately raised concerns about their attention to detail. If they couldn’t get the initial order right, I had no… Read more

confidence in the service. I cancelled the order and had to chase the refund three times via email before finally calling them. I was then advised the refund could take up to a month. Avoid this company. Update: Paul Lapitan contacted me and processed refund. He also apologised for my experience.

Terrible customer service. I ordered an router from them and got a confirmation email saying they were sending it out right away and they would bill our account for it. Three days later I got an email saying they wouldn't send it until I called and made payment. Two days after that, I got another email saying they were sending it. I've emailed… Read more

multiple times with limited replies and still no clear answer as to whether or not a router has been sent.

Edit: They finally reached out upon seeing this review in process and said they would reach out, which they never did. The modem showed up after we had already purchased another one.

Typical customer service for IPS. More or less non-existent. Would not recommend.

I was just offered the new customer $22/month 6 month discount by John, who I have just been talking to on the online Swoop chat forum about upgrading to a faster internet plan that better satisfies my son's internet usage needs. After initially being told that unfortunately it only came with a $10 discount for existing customers, I indicated… Read more

that I found that unsatisfactory and too expensive. John then checked with someone and offered the same discount that is offered to new customers, $22/month. I think this is only fair and will encourage loyalty to Swoop on the part of existing/loyal customers, otherwise we might go elsewhere! Thank you, John.
