Scammers

published

A horrible company to deal with. Set dates for direct debit that often results in a non payment being made which results in a $15 fine. Started off with the basic package but the speed was too slow, under 1mbps. Upgraded to the next level, for more money, and it didn't go much faster at just over 1mbps. I do not recommend astron and advise everyone i know to avoid them.

Terrible unreliable and no customer service

published

We signed up with Astron last year in July since then we have had unreliable service that dropped out all the time. We moved house and sent the relocation form 3 weeks ago. We still haven’t been reconnected at new address spent over 1hr 40mins trying to resolve this only to be disconnected when finally transferred to right person. Rang back immediately only to be told I will have to rejoin queue. Don’t use this service ever.

Appalling customer service with very slow Internet

published

Astron can be ok at times with average speed, however the majority of the time it either does not work or is very slow. The custom service is pathetic, I waited 3 and a half hours on standby waiting for someone to pick up, but no one did. I would strongly recommend any other NBN provider, as this one is terrible!

Worst service EVER!

published

I have put a application for internet 4 weeks ago and when i ring to enquire i get put on hold... no one comes back to me. Today i waited 50 mins and had to hang up. I've been told "someone will call you back to help you" and again not 1 person has rung me back. People i speak to are rude and have a couldn't care less attitude. This has caused stress to my family and will be putting in a formal complaint. This company is not worth the hassle.

Zero Customer Service

published

Had been with Astron for 12months. Average speeds on NBN but was ok. Then all of a sudden my service stopped working, waited a day or 2 thinking it was just an outage. Day 3 I rang them only to be advised that they had decided 2 weeks ago to upgrading my modem (no email or notice about this) and now until my new modem arrived I was going to be without internet. When I finally got through to customer service 20 minutes later, his attitude was oh well, zero care given!!
So with that, I’ve cancelled this poor service and gone with a better provider!

Rip-off

published

Ever since Astron introduced the $2 paper bill fee for their overseas phone plans, they have suddenly increased the frequency of their paper bills. My Mum, 85 years old, wants paper bills. She used to get a bill quarterly for about $10. If she put in extra and was in credit, she didn't get a bill in 6 months. Now that they charge $2 for paper bills, she keeps getting bills monthly, even if she is in credit. Using sly tricks to rip off old people. No use calling the Communications Ombudsman (I tried it before) because they only put you in contact with the Telco and there service from Astron anyway. Best thing is to drop them.

Worst provider ever

published

I am paying for the top speed available, and whilst on only one device i still get buffering, my ping sits anywhere between 180-500 (not joking).
Do yourself a favour and never sign with this company.

Putrid

published

So, my household is with Astron internet provider. This is the worst internet i have ever been with, our black box keeps screwing up and stops our internet from working... we have to actually unscrew the cord that connects to the foxtel and wall. Then screw it back in... we have to do this minimum 21 times a day. At the moment it isnt working after my mum was on the phone to them for almost two hours to get it working... it worked literally for 10 minutes and hasnt been working since. Your internet is horrible, the speed is terrible, the drop outs and reconnections are happening too frequently. Would never recommend this provider to anyone.

Astron are a bunch of liars and idiots

published

About 2 months ago my partner changed account name from housemates name because of house move... we rang astron and asked for a move of our service to new address... astron tell us we need to cancel our contract and redo application for service we have done so and still have no internet its been just over a month in the new house they have taken money from us for a service they can't provide... even with new modem which they sent to old address and old housemates name ... very very disappointed with astron service... I will be goin to the telecommunication ombudsman about your company... then signing up with more reparable nbn provider.

Stay Away

published

Stay away, promise of free modem, never sent, promise of quick customer service didn't happen 40 minutes on hold, told cooling off after receiving modem, customer service said from sign up, not good enough, get it together Astron, sell what you can provide, not what you want to provide.

Astron not resdy for NBN

published

They promise what they can't deliver. No connection . When you ring up they ask how you hoocked up the wires etc. If OK they tell you OHHHH they working in your area give it 2-3 hr and try again.(just to get rid of you). If you know they work in the area why treat me like 5 yr old with stupid questions. 1 day after still no internet. Same routine they give you and you wait on the ph for them for 45 min to give you nothing.
They wanted to have people signed up quick and deal with prob as they go.
DON'T SIGN. or if so get out of the deal.
They give you problems only.
