Verdict
Aussie Broadband is highly regarded for its local support staff and efficient installation processes. While network speeds are generally strong, the service is undermined by lengthy support wait times and premium pricing that lacks incentives for long-term customers. Technical reliability varies, with some users experiencing persistent connection dropouts despite the brand's reputation.
Absolutely terrible ... after signing up with their Mobile plan, few months later told "poor coverage in your area", so obviously Mobile only works in certain rooms ... bought a new phone, as apparently this could have been the issue ... guess what? still doesn't work and this is OK? AB only uses Optus towers, Boost uses Optus and Telstra towers .... just terrible
As the reception is slow where I live, I made enquiries to have NBN box fitted but it is not available to me as I am on your senior's plan. I joined Aussie because you offered this plan and it was within my budget. I am very disappointed.
Minimal interruptions with service due to maintenance. Speeds exactly as advertised. Never had issues when requesting changes to service. Easy to set-up connection without the need to contact customer service. Show details · 1

I had a great experience with with Carl today. I rang him for over an hour. He was very patient, professional, never tired of my complaint, he went above and beyond to see to it that my WiFi is working. His type is rare. I don't know the unit he is calling from, but Karl /Carl that did 06/11/26 and responded to a customer from Chifley ACT, thank you Show details · 1

In a decades use of their services I have only had one issue with my internet connection. Made a call and was fixed in less than an hour. Service both internet and customer are excellent. I genuinely recommend AussieBB first when asked who to connect with, especially if you want good speeds and quality for a decent price. Show details · 1

a couple of months into changing over to Aussie broadband we are very happy with our decision. Changeover process was very easy for us (couple in late 50’s) and connection is great. I ran the speed test.net and have posted a picture below - I don’t even know what it means. Show details · 1
The technician was on time, Polite, quick, yet methodical. He cleaned up after himself, He listned well and understood tall he customers needs - I encountered No problems. I did read all the required information beforehand, so i kind of knew what was going to happen on the install date. Show details · 1
After being with starlink for years due to crappy NBN connections, I was advised to go fibre. I have heard amazing things about aussie broadband from friends, and their changeover was free so I signed up. NBN technicial took 5 hours to install and didnt have to dig anything up at all, still no charge I was gobsmacked it was that easy. Straight… Read more
away did a speed test and and I'm pulling 1000 no problem even in peak times. AB is so easy to deal with and upfront, the account online is super easy to use. all this and it's still cheaper than my starlink!!!
Free Fibre upgrade was a breeze with AB. NBN techs arrived as scheduled. Did a very good and clean install inside my Rack! The new NTD is nice and small now. Would note I did hire a private cabler to create the internal fibre pathway in my ceiling to have the NTD where I wanted. AB are offering a free upgrade which does not include complex installs as NBN techs won't go inside your ceiling for safety reasons. Show details · 1
Very fast and efficient process. No hitches. Excellent communication. Not the cheapest in the market but has a good reputation & Australian Call Centres with fast & friendly service. Only connected yesterday. Download speed between 50 and 51 but upload speed well off the mark at between 4 and 5 when it should be 20 but my uploads were negligible in the 24hrs so we need more time to assess. Overall could not ask for more. Well done Aussie Show details · 1

I recently upgraded to Aussie Broadband’s 500/50 Fast Fibre NBN plan and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. From my initial phone enquiry, the customer service team were knowledgeable, patient and clear in explaining my options, with no pressure or upselling. The upgrade process itself was seamless, with clear… Read more · 1
communication at every step and realistic timeframes that were actually met. Installation and activation were completely pain free, with everything working exactly as promised from the moment the service went live. It was refreshing to deal with a company that values professionalism, transparency and customer experience. The speed and reliability of the connection have been excellent, and the process to get there could not have been easier. I would confidently recommend Aussie Broadband to anyone considering an NBN upgrade.
Again, their email certificates have expired creating issues with email service and security issues. They just refuse to get on top of this. This time the certificate expired 29 March. 2026 It is now 29 September 2026. 6 months and nothing done. Many email service outages on aussiebroadband email addresses over last 1.5 years. First problem… Read more
listed is failure to update or renew their “certificates.”This has happened over & over and they just cannot seem to get the housekeeping right. When I contacted them about it - on numerous occasions - a major attitude problem was that email service was just an adjunct and low on their priority list. But they supply it as part of their package and it should be looked after properly. Otherwise, just do not include it as part of the service. . All in all, it makes their email service very unreliable, and they appear very uninterested in doing anything to fix the problems. Customer service attitude on this has been terrible. They are pricier than most companies and boast that they provide excellent customer service. That used to be the case a few years ago, but I think the company has changed a lot as they have grown, and mostly now just living off past reputation.
Per company comment, please see screen shot evidence just attached. Yes, webmail works but i(map) certificates expired.
Yesterday I received my Eero 7 pro modems. Attempted todo self set-up,ran into problems. I rang Aussie Broadband and I can’t paise the technician Tyson who assisted me complete the set up very quickly. Now with the new modems we are receiving very improved download speeds on our FTTP NBN connection. Thanks again for great service over the past 15 years. Show details · 1
Aussie Broadband service was excellent. Had communicated with them twice before taking the plunge to join them. The consultants were not hard selling and it was just comfortable dealing with Aussie Broadband. Was informed about the Black Friday sales and to wait for them. Decided to join the 100/20 speed as it was cheaper than the 50/20 speed, at… Read more · 1
least for 6 months anyway. The 50/20 speed is more expensive than with other ISPs but you pay for the excellent service and it’s well worth it. We received the modem yesterday. It took all of 5 minutes to set it up. We are getting a faster speed than with our previous ISP, possibly due to the TP-Link modem that was supplied 2 years ago. The Aussie Broadband modem is a Netcomm one. It was just plug and play and scan the QR code to get the wifi going. We have hard wired the main computers to the modem router and we are getting a speed of 47mbps. Our maximum line speed is 50. Upload speed is still limited to under 8mbps. We might have to change to a Cat 6a cable rather than the Cat 5 cables that we had. Two Cat 5e cables were supplied in the box as well as the cable for the DSL line. The wifi speed is a little less at about 36-42mbps but much better than the 25-35mbps speed that we were getting with the previous ISP. The Aussie Broadband app is simple to use and a mine full of information. I would recommend Aussie Broadband to anyone who would like a first class service.
After some hiccups which was not the fault of Aussie, our fast HFC connection is up and running. Connection is solid and have recorded speeds up 547Mbps. It's good to talk to a support person with an Aussie accent! Show details · 1

Aussie BB - Great service – Could not be happier with the service received from Aussie B/B staff from my initial enquiry to the completion of the NBN installation and supply and activation of the Netcomm modem. Show details · 1

highly recommend Aussie Broadband to everyone. ⭐️⭐️ They originated in Morwell Victoria, hence their customer & technical support staff are all located in Australia. Aussie Broadband give amazing telephone and live chat support for any questions or problems that you may have. Aussie Broadband are very competitive with their pricing and can supply full services including Landline Voip if requested. Yesterday i had the pleasure of being assisted by a live chat lady named Vicki. Vicki was a very pleasant real person not a computer Bot! Vicki was very knowledgeable and helpful, assisting me immediately hence my inquiry was completed with one chat. Thank you so much Vicki. ⭐️⭐️ My wife & i rate Aussie Broadband AAA+ 10 out of 10 ✅✅ Kenneth & Julie Cumming, Warrnambool, VIC, 3280.
Follow-up · My "Aussie Broadband" account has been continuously providing excellent peak Internet performance, with zero speed drops and no outages. Hence i am a very happy customer who would never change provider. I take this opportunity to say a Big Thank You to all management and staff, for giving the very best "customer support" whenever it is needed. My best wishes, Kenneth Cumming, Warrnambool, VIC, 3280.
Follow-up · On 09/11/2026 we had FTTH connected which went smoothly within three hours. Thanks to our NBN technician, and Aussie Broadband who coordinated the conversion to fibre cable then restart to our Landline and Internet.
I switched to Aussie Broadband expecting quality, but it has been a complete nightmare since day one! The internet constantly disconnects, or shows "connected with no internet" most of the time. Even when it's supposedly connected, nothing loads—not… Read more
even Google! I am forced to rely on my mobile data while paying full price every month for a service that barely delivers 50% of its speed on a good day. And for what? Just basic streaming and social media! To make things worse, their customer support is an absolute joke. I’ve reported faults, and days go by with zero response, despite their app claiming an "expected response time of 5 hours" (what a massive lie—you'd be lucky to hear back in a week). Their hardware/router is utterly useless, and their service is an ongoing scam. Save your money, stay away from Aussie Broadband, and go with literally anyone else!
Follow-up · ⭐ 1/5 – Extremely Poor Service and Unacceptable Customer Support What makes this experience even worse is the customer support. I reported the issue on 18 October and received a response NINE DAYS later, despite the app displaying an expected response time of just five hours! I answered their troubleshooting questions on 28 October, and once… Read more

I switched to Aussie Broadband as I required a service that others could not supply. The change-over was painless and I was up and running the same day without any issues, besides having a 10 wifi router that was not up to the task. I promptly purchased a new one through Aussie Broadband that was delivered the next day and at a price, almost half… Read more · 1
that of purchasing at a local retailer.
The customer service has been amazing! With onshore customer service staff that great you with respect and just a touch of Aussie colloquialism that made me feel relaxed and right at home. While I had no issues to report as I was only swapping providers and ordering products, I felt assured and understood as my custom setup required something different from the original. There approached with a no nonsense can-do attitude that exuded confidence and deep understanding of there products and services, no ‘can I put you on hold’ while I google it.
Could not recommend this company more highly!
I have been with this company since they started. They truly are the BEST. You want outstanding customer service right here in Australia!!!! Chose this business & excellent services Show reply
Just connected to the FTTP upgrade. The speedtest result via wifi was impressive. The sign up process and the install were all easy and staff helpful. Great staff setting up my eero it turned out having the LAN plugged in before the app was an issue. Appreciate Tayla resolving Show details · 1

The customer service is outstanding, it is awesome to speak to Aussies when you need help, and even on a Sunday! Although what is REALLY disappointing is that we are paying for 500/50 and our download speeds have NEVER even come close to 500. The best we have ever gotten is 270. Mostly it sits in the 100s. I was getting the same speeds using my… Read more
phone (Amaysim) service. We were really looking forward to having fast internet, but it has been disappointing.
What a joke, was with ABB from their start of business. Offering a seniors discount on the Web, but denied. Cancelled ABB to join starling. ABB sent bills that were not outstanding, sorted it out via phone call. 8 months later they send me to a debt collector. Never recommend ABB,what thieves. Show details
Aussie broadband is most unreliable for many reasons cause it keeps disconnecting randomly throughout the day and frankly it just rather use my data at this point. After I get home I just wanna relax play some games and oh what’s that my network has been disconnected for just long enough to kick me out of my game over and over again! Show details

As I write this, I have now spent 1 hour and 15 minutes on the phone waiting to get through to Aussie Broadband's so-called "Customer Service Team". I also tried yesterday, and gave up after 45 minutes of listening to their inane music and repeated messages about how busy they are, and how they wont tolerate rudeness. The purpose of my call is to… Read more
accept a promotional offer received through the mail from Jonathan Prosser their 'Group Executive Residential'. As it involves an upgrade to my existing service, one would assume that it would be handled by their Sales department. But having got through to that division within one minute of phoning, I was passed on to their Customer Service division, and joined a queue of callers now 1 hour and twenty-five minutes long. Which is typical of this type of company - pack the Sales Division with sufficient agents to ensure you don't keep new prospects waiting, but have no such concern for existing clients needing support! ****My call has finally been answered after 91 minutes.....but only to be told that the promotional offer doesn't apply to me!!!! Then why mail me the offer, I ask??? Don't know, is the response. AB's bad customer support is only matched by its appalling marketing, and I can only hope that Jonathan Prosser gets to read this.

over 150 metres from the street & my property was now densely covered in very large trees. I phoned them & explained my position to them. Not long after, an Aussie technician came to discuss what needed to be done. I was not prepared to pay more money for trenching if they could not utilise my existing line. Unfortunately the line was so old that conduit had not been used & they would not be able to use that route. The whole project was cancelled temporarily. A few days later a crew from NBN turned up to look at the situation & they quickly found a suitable route that they could trench which we both agreed upon with no charge to me. The same crew turned up on a weekend & completed their part of the fibre optic cable installation in one day! I was amazed at the efficiency of this crew & how quickly they installed their part. On the Monday a technician came to install the internal part which had not been done until I had been given assurances that the work was not going to cost me money. The internal bits were installed within an hour or two & soon I was using the new service. I cannot commend both Aussie Broadband & NBN enough for such prompt & efficient service. I am happily watching streamed shows on my tv & using my computers without any problems with any of them. Well done to all concerned.
Follow-up · I live on a 4 acre property which has multiple peppermint trees & although the trenching cut through tree roots there will be no detrimental damage to them as they are almost like weeds & very hard to kill. The trenching had minimal impact either with backfill or subsidence. Ground restoration was excellent & I was actually very pleasantly… Read more
