Great Service & Support
Have been with Ant for over 6 years now, (changed from a different company) and they have always been so helpful and supportive. Am not at all tech literate, but they are great at being so specific both in verbal and making sure I have a diagram yes I am that stupid. Not had many issues but they have been sorted out in a speedy fashion, as I am a satellite user on Sky Muster. I have had some weird and unusual issues (Never normal or ordinary for me haha). Now they are with Field Solutions Group, I am still getting the same great standard ...Read more
of service and support. I do occassionally look around to compare prices etc and OMG one company when I made a phone enquiry - actually thought I had accepted them and found I had no internet for nearly 4 weeks - it took that company like 5 mins to cut my internet off and 4 weeks to give it back to ANT, not Ant's fault the other company was giving me the phone runnaround during that time too. Ant emailed me when they had my service back. Will never be changing again. I know others have negatives but I for one in my 6 + years with this company cant FAULT them.Similar opinion?

Very Satisfied!
For what its worth I have been with ANT for over 18 months after a very unsatisfactory run in with Exetel (terrible outfit)!, anyway, im sad and surprised to read the negative reviews here, my experience of ANT so far has been the best experience of a telco since the good old days when Telstra was good??!!, ive hardly had any issues with them and on the odd occasion there was an issue, my call was answered within 3 minutes each time and by an a person who spoke English very clearly with an Australian accent, always very polite and helpful and t...Read more
he issues were dealt with promptly and efficiently!, i live in regional Australia, not the "Big Smoke", after some of the shonky outfits ive dealt with over the last few years, ANT is pretty damn good in my book!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Terrible company. Avoid if possible.
My Review is more from my experience with Field Solutions Group (the people that took over ANT) as ANT themselves were wonderful.
Firstly, Their customer portal is no longer user friendly. I've been told there will be more features added but that has yet to change.
They will bill you early regardless of your billing date (then try and charge you a $15 late fee). They gave no explanation regarding this and just say it's a problem (which in actual fact they did it on purpose because they were behind in money, so i have been told).
I rece...Read more
ntly opened a ticket in which they closed the same day they respond and will not respond further if you reply, forcing you to open a new ticket. There PPPoE services are overloaded, meaning you will get terrible speeds during peak time. I've been told it's ANT fault this occurs. They refuse to update because it 'cost money'. I am currently still a customer and have to wait out my contact. Avoid if possible.

If you love being on hold, these are your guys!
If you get high from flakey internet services and being on hold, ANT Communications are your guys. Other companies offer a mere 2-15 mins on hold, but not ANT Communications — they make sure that their valued clients get what they deserve; a full 30 mins, 45 mins and even 1 hour of being on hold before maybe answering. And if they do, the 'Customer Support' staff will demonstrate their inability to resolve your queries with remarkable efficiency and hand balling skills...
After 8 months of second chances with this amateur business I'm chang...Read more
ing providers. Noteworthy achievements include: • publicly distributing private email addresses of clients (one of which resulted in private address, full credit card details, signature and other personal information being disseminated accidentally via group email) • consistently inconsistent internet service • massively under resourced call centre • empty promises to call back once they have 'investigated further' • reducing download limits on account without notification • 'shaping' download speeds without notification • generally lazy and sloppy customer supportSimilar opinion?

extremely poor service over past three years from ANT communicatiions
After 3 year with customer service with ANT that can only be described as appalling, I have gone with a competitor. ANT slow service, poor response to technical questions and no response to issues raised. Customer portal Systems down for days on end, no access to customer portal and it seems would rather have customers waste their time thinking they have issues at their end such as password etc when in fact new software portal failure without letting customers know what the issue was. worst still no response to questions but reposes such as "po...Read more
rtal has been down for a week and don't know when it will be back up", " head office company making us implement changes", in response to question around why customers were not informed around issues, " too many customers to notify and they might clog up lines in response", and so it goes. Even when I advise I was cancelling my account, still no apology. My experience in IT over many years dictates that you test new updates in a test environment not a production environment. Simply gob smacking that the customer portal can be down for weeks without an notification or rectification. Unfortunately this is the level of customer service. Let me make it clear that no offer of any kind or compensation or rectification would have me reconsider, i just want others to be warned that the line of "we might be a bit more expensive but the support service is excellent" is not true.Similar opinion?

Great
I am very surprised at reading some reviews, I have both my home satellite, and my business NBN with ANT and couldn't be happier. I was with another very popular provider previously, and to get to actually speak with someone, or to get a resolution was impossible. All the staff, from sales through to tech support, from ANT has been nothing but helpful and supportive. As someone with little or no tech awareness I am never made to feel "stupid" I cannot recommend this company highly enough. If you are in doubt and are searching for a provider and getting confused with all the information out there, do yourself a favour give them a ring, have a chat and then you will be able to make a more informed decision for yourself.

poor customer service!
No NBN internet for 4 days. Created ticket online called and waited 15 minutes to leave a message on Voice mail. Haven't had a call back or internet. Changing provider now...poor customer service!

Very poor customer service
Found the customer service very poor, especially when dealing with Manager Linda. Very unhelpful and rude. Would not recommend at all. Do not waste your time.

Overall good experience
I was connected to ANT via ADSL2
Setup was relatively easy. Had a minor problem which customer service helped solve without fuss.
No connection problems related to the company.
Customer service is Australian and as helpful as possible.
I changed providers when the NBN became available in my area and am regretting it. ANT plans cost more than non-Australian RSP's but are likely worth it.

Poor customer service, slow speeds.
Have had speed issues with ant for a while now. signed up to their nbn 100 plan and get half that at best. Online support is useless, they never answer and after a few days just close the ticket. Cant get through to some one on the phone and they never call back. pretty much the worst customer service ever.

Personal service
I have been with ant for nearly 5 years as a satellite customer, now currently on the LTS (sky muster). The change over from the old satellite to new was quick and painless and free!! The connection experiences a few dropouts, but this is normal given the technology. The nbn are the ones who service the satellite. Customer service has always been amazing, the tech team are great and have never spoken down to me. I am almost 65 and I can tell you that computers escape me, but ant make it so easy.

A communication Company that does not know how to communicate
They lost my application, when they finally found it I eventually got connected to the satellite. The NBN installer was excellent but Ant had not provided a wireless Modem as promised. So I had a 120 kilometer round trip to purchase my own. I informed Ant That I had purchased one and not to charge me. I have just received a modem in the post from ant nearly 4 weeks after I installed my own. The only contact I have from them is the original ticket which they do not reply to. I have not had any information pack or billing method. There is no wa...Read more
y to discover how much data has been used or how much I have to pay. I have tried ringing their phone lines but they do not answer. I went with Ant because they have been involved in building satellite systems and infrastructure, so I thought they would be better than a parasitical billing company. I think the NBN should be doing their own billing and cut out the unneeded middle menSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
prompt service
Having been connected with ant on the iss and now sky muster satellites, I must say that ant have always stuck by me. A complicated technology like a satellite is always fraught with problems, and as a consumer I understand that there can be problems with the service. Being an old bird I don't know much about computers but that's what ant has helped me with.

Staggeringly poor service
I regularly can't connect. When I manage to get through to ANT - say one to two days and many many calls they say we can't help unless your connected. But I can't connect. Too bad - a neat catch 22. And I was also told we haven't called as there are 900 calls ahead of you..

Good service, helpful staff.
I am pretty technically illiterate, whenever I had a problem with the service the team at and were always very helpful. They even showed me how to turn off automatic updates from windows. The bigger companies could not give 1 crap about your problems!

Lack of staff response
Over the XMAS period when NBN Skymuster Satellite failed to deliver internet to customers over whole day periods there appears to be no one staffing the ANT tech support. Just get a recorded message saying "staff are on other calls leave a message and we'll call you straight back. Never get a call back. VERY VERY frustrating. I suspect ANT can't be bothered or haven't set up simple email systems to send out to customer NBN outage warnings. It will be interesting to see if I have to fight ANT to get credited with the two full days the NBN satellite has been out and I have been paying for it.

Long Term Satellite
I recently connected to NBN long term satellite 25/5 plan and am very happy with what I have. I was connected about a week and a half after logging the call to ANT. Customer service has always been friendly, it can be hard to get through to them depending on the time of the day you ring. My only complaint I have is that after 10 minutes of being on hold you get transferred to a message bank, if I wanted to leave a message I would have done so when you get given the options at the start.
Speeds are good depending which server I'm connecting to.

Speed issue
I've been with Ant Internet for a few years and I'm paying for the 100/40 plan. I have had nothing but speed issue with Ant.
With a 100/40 plan I should be getting close to 9 or 10 megabyte per sec. but even at 8:30 am Saturday its currently less than 1 megabyte per sec. (i can't even watch youtube) Ants answer is to close my ticket and ignore me. I am changing providers at the end of the month. I don't recommend them to anyone..
You normally get good service from small local companies, but not in this case.
