Had a call from Realyn from Sales today offering a free upgrade to 500/50 Speedy Max, free for 6 months and then $4 increase from current package after that, this is usually the catch but $4, if correct is pretty good value. Realyn answered all my questions so I am giving it a try. Lets see what happens Show details
Switched from Vocus to Aussie Broadband this morning and the service was clearly not provisioned correctly. No internet since the cutover. Spent ~30 minutes on chat with support being asked repeatedly about router lights and basic troubleshooting, despite already completing the restart steps twice. Optical was red the whole time, which points to… Read more
a network/provisioning issue, not a router problem.
Support should have identified this immediately and escalated, instead of running through irrelevant scripts. Poor handling during what should be a straightforward migration.
Still waiting for a fix. Support ticket logged. Wish they switched to AI which would be quicker and better than their current support structure. Similar issues experienced when signing up 1 year ago.
Very disappointing service. The internet keeps dropping out and the issue still has not been properly fixed. We both work and rely on a stable connection, but we are now forced to use mobile data instead. The problem still remains the same and the support has been very frustrating. I cancelled the connection today. I would not recommend this service to anyone. Show details

I changed from Telstra and got the tangerine EERO 7 modem and it was very easy to hook up. When I spoke to the lady on the phone. She was very patient and amazing Alex Tomagan the guy who set it all up for me on the phone in the beginning was very patient very kind and lots of information which I found fantastic even from getting the delivery.… Read more · 1
Everything was very easy. My Internet is super fast and my mobile phone connects to the Wi-Fi when it would never do it with the Telstra 5G box I always had to use my data so I’m super super happy and the price is so much cheaper than the Telstra plan thank you so much tangerine. I’m so happy with my choice to change and I have been a Telstra customer for a long time, thank you so much very very happy.
Fabulous service on the phone, very helpful. Highly recommend this service and will recommend to other people. Show details · 1
Vin and Ben were extremely helpful, patient, and professional throughout the call. They explained everything clearly and made the process easy. Show details · 1
Tangerine made switching to them as our broadband provider, including FTTP connection, quick, easy and seamless. It required very little effort or stress on our part even though it took a few weeks for the NBN appointment to happen, which is usual. We are now getting great internet speed, no more dropouts and easy online account management for a much better price. Happy customer so far! Show details · 1
After a little bit of a rough start, these guys have turned it around completely. They were a little difficult to get into contact with to start, but they were also quick to escalate the situation and even offered to call me. After being connected with a very helpful tech. She was able to get me connected within a 9 minute phone call. Since being connected has been flawless so far. Show details · 1
Internet has been reliable since i joined 7 months ago. No drop outs which is good. No issue and staff were helpful and the waiting time wasn't too long. The speed of 50/20 is accurate. Overall with Tangerine, im satisfied with speed, no drop outs, and good customer service. Show details · 1
You won't find a faster better deal at the moment. Fast speeds no drops outs. Works as an ISP should. Very happy with my service. Would definitely recommend. Show details · 1

My fault with overdue account which lead to a suspension but I can’t explain how frustrating they are to deal with. Paid my overdue account and apparently my service will be activated shortly. Next day I received an email stating everything is up and running but obviously that’s just an automated msg they send without even checking, so after 5… Read more
hours on the phone im still without the nbn. Seriously I could go on and on as this isn’t the first time I’ve had issues and I know I’m partly to blame but how hard is it to reconnect a service that was suspended 5 days earlier. Also Speeds aren’t anywhere near what their plans state and their customer service isn’t worth a star apart from 1 lady I spoke to from accounts who actually sorted out one issue I’ve had for 6 months. If your st^pid enough to sign up just make sure to pay your account on time unless you like wasting your day on hold then talking to incompetent staff who seem to think rebooting solves everything

I was transfered from Buddy Telco to Tangerine. It didn't go smoothly. Transfer was delayed without notice, and failed, leaving me without internet for a few hours. I tried to contact support but that was only available through What'sApp - the bot replied and said an agent would come they never did even after two weeks... Switching to another provider instead Show details

Poor customer service. No follow up policy at all. I did not get use their internet even after 2 months after commencing payment. Therefore I wouldn’t know how the internet service was. Gave me incorrect information and directed me in the wrong path. Investigation of errors were really poor. Poorly skilled and undertrained personnel answered the… Read more
phone every different time they did not even care to read the previous persons notes. Disappointed with time wasters and financial hackers. The funny part is no one cared to identify what was the issue with providing me with internet and still they charged me. The most important highlight is that they do not communicate via email. If you ask them to send these information via an email they will not. I have attached the internet reading from my home . But I am charged. Yesterday Morning, 09/04/2026 at 5:11 am $102.98 was deducted from my bank account with my consent or authorisation. I have not agreed to any direct debit payment ment. This unfair . I came to know about this when my weekly rent was not paid due low funding and my bank send me a warning email. I am being targeted and being financially abused repeatedly.When I asked your team member to send me the evidence of my internet usage there was no response on your self service portal. They just closed my open case without any outcome or explanation. I want my account closed and payment method deleted asap. Inspite of complaining repeatedly,there was not action from Tangerine moreover they kept charging me repeatedly. Very disappointment and will never recommend. Hope my message gets as many people as possible.

Absolutely appalling. I had very similar issues with previous carrier. Signed up for wireless 200/20 mbps. We're given assurances they would deliver. Never. Contacted on numerous occasions complaining about slow speeds. At the best I have been able to achieve 13.71 mbps. Every other time is single digits, some as low as 1.2mbps. Not interested in… Read more
resolving. Lodged a complaint on 01/04/3026. Still no response. I frequently work from home so I need a half decent service. I have lodged a complaint with the Telecommunications Ombudsman and have just purchased a Starlink kit. Hopefully problem will be solved.

Avoid Tangerine: I switched to Tangerine’s 500/40 plan three weeks ago, and it has been a total disaster. Not only have I never actually hit my advertised speeds, but the customer service experience has been some of the worst I’ve encountered. … Read more
Despite paying for a high-speed tier, the actual speeds haven't reached the 500 Mbps mark even once. I feel tangerine gives you a discount but in return limits the internet speed to 50% as not many customers check their speed and don’t bother calling.
I called them five times. Each time, I'm promised a callback from a supervisor or a Level 2 technician, but they are never available. Today called them again and took 30 minutes for call to connect. Finally after speaking with 4 different people, none of them knew anything and they just disconnected the call. I have no energy to keep calling them back and this was my 5th call. Twice their customer care team and level 2 technician promised that they would contact in few hours/next day and I nene be heard a back from them.
They promised to escalate the issue and send an NBN technician a week ago and gave me a date and time, yet no appointment had been booked. I came from Swoop, where the service was seamless. Switching to Tangerine was a mistake.
Their support team seems trained to deflect rather than solve problems, and "supervisors" are never available to take the call. They lie and cover for each other.
Follow-up · Update- They sent me a new modem which I connected and sent them several speed tests. They said this was the request from NBN team. After that they asked me to change port on NBN box which I did and the speed test result remained the same, no Improvement. I have sent them multiple speed test results and they always come back and ask for more. So… Read more

to seeing how different speedy is. Didn't realise it was only $4 different yet double the download speed. Sounds like a good plan to be on.
Follow-up · The process was smooth to upgrade, however we didn't notice any difference at first, even though the download speed did show it was higher on the Eero app. Our shows still take a little while to load, so not sure what the difference is now either. Regardless of the change in plan, we're still very happy with Tangerine.
I just had a call from Bingo offering a speed upgrade for 6 months which must be due to the NBN upgrade in my area. Bingo was very helpful and also advised if the additional cost if I will to continue with the new plan. Show details · 1
Follow-up · After a couple of days the speed hadn’t changed so I submitted a support ticket to find our what the issue was. Within 24 hours the ticket was resolved but no upgrade to the speed. My next bill arrived and it had dropped by $4.00. So it looks like their promotion was suspended or cancelled.

I rang to join Tangerine having been with Telstra for some time and looking for better value and service. MJ from the sales team took my call and I can't speak highly enough of .her service. I am elderly and was a little anxious. She put me at ease and spelled out the process of changing over so clearly that I am feeling confident that I have made a good move especially if hers is an example of the quality of service I will receive.
MJ who assisted was outstanding. Being elderly I am a little slow, MJ was completely accommodating and very, very patient which I truly appreciated. Her knowledge enabled me to complete the process without any stress. MJ is a very special ambassador for Tangerine. I'm so happy I was assisted by such a caring and competent lady. Thank you, I am looking forward to enjoying my internet once again thanks to MJ. Show details
JC was very explicit in the setting up my new account with Tangerine. I am 75 years old and not very quick at understanding contractual requirements. JC took the time to make sure I was fully aware of what I agreed to. Show details

We have been a customer of tangerine twice over two different time periods. I was a 100 % happy to recommend them. That is until very recently when they notified us that they are switing the NBN clients through Aussie Broadband. Tangerine is still our provider but instantly after the switch was notifed our service has been unacceptable. The amount… Read more
of time it takes to transition from website to another os around 20 to 30 secs, once the website has loaded the speed is fine. Flicking between website of opening apps on your phone is painfully slow. It show they cant have tested the transition properly. Its just too slow for me and I will have to look elsewhere as I know my connection is fine. Seems like its a bad choice by tangerine.

We had excellent internet connection and speed on Aussie broadband. Switched to Tangerine. Absolutely terrible. Terrible speed, dropping out and the customer service was abysmal. Telling someone to switch their router on and off is NOT customer support. Went back to Aussie broadband. Show details
