No complaints - expensive though.

Reliable connection. Good speed, also at peak times. I had a problem once (a type that was my own fault) - it was resolved by an expert over the phone in a few minutes.

Appalling for gaming.

published

Barefoot was great value for money and we were so happy we switched our phones over too.
The past 3 months during 7-11pm the internet is unable to be used to any games.
It's laggy and the amount of packetloss makes games unplayable.
Barefoot identified the issue but after months still cant give an eta or further info on the issue.
Even though we are paying for a "premium" service with nbn100, it's still unable to used.
If you play games, look elsewhere.

Great contract and good service

published

The sign-up and connection process was smooth, value for money is great, and I like not being locked into a long contract. The connection speed is good compared to what is often "the norm" for NBN, i.e. NBN50 is giving me real-world 44Mbs or so most of the time including the evenings.

Best value package out there

Have been with barefoot for about 2 years and have not had a single issue. Moved house in that time and they made that easy for me too. Very happy with the product and service.

Friendly, easy to contact and helpful

published

The sign up and off process has been easy (when I go away for a couple of months) and has saved me lots of time and bother/cost. The connection does drop out sometimes but I have yet to experience connection which doesn't (with other providers also). No problems streaming movies etc so speed seems good. They have assisted me to connect and walked me through the tech requirements to connect over the phone when I have not managed to get it working myself.

Great support and resolution

published

I have been with Barefoot for over a year and I have found polite and supportive people to walk me through configuration of new router and advise on plan choice. I have never experienced dropouts. It works!

Amazing

published

I was with iinet and having all sorts of problems including no internet for a week and a rude support person who said the plan I was on didnt exist despite being on the website and in policy and I had been on it for 5 years. We rang barefoot and within minutes we were signed up and within a day and a half we were up and running. The barefoot sales guy was so helpful and let us know every time something changed and gave us a call after it was connected to see if everything was alright. Absolutely no complaints with the service (50mb/s to the premises), no dropouts etc.
Would recommend

The connection is always reliable. If there is dropouts, the issue is rectified in a short period of time. Regular text message are used to keep me up to date.

Fast and efficient customer service

published

I have been really happy with my service since signing up over 12 months ago. Where Barefoot has excelled recently is with customer service. I noticed that my internet speed had dropped significantly (from around 40Mbps to 12-15 Mbps). One email and they got back to me quickly. Once I had sent them some more details they immediately organised for an NBN technician to come and assess the problem. It was a relatively easy fix - I needed a new phone plug as the old one had pretty much died. Once that was fixed my speed was back up to 45Mbps.

Great Internet Service & Price. Very Happy Customer!

published

When we moved houses we decided to give Barefoot a go as there was an introductory reduced monthly plan and honestly couldnt be happier with the decision. The setup process was prompt and efficient. We have been with Barefoot for close to a year now and in that time there have been minimal connection and dropout issues. The speed is also very good, and very few times have I experienced lag (although it should be disclosed that there are only 2 people in the household). Overall extremely happy and would definitely recommend!

Great company

published

From the st phone call to the actual connection has been great. They have kept me informed all the way. Connection by NBN was not straight forward but I was kept up to date by Barefoot. Not a long wait when phoning them. The night I was connected I rang and had to leave a message as they were busy, I thought it would be the next day before they replied as it was 6:40pm but no they rang me back that night. Great company to deal with. Only early days but speed seems good. Was recommended by my Sister who has been with Barefoot for a couple of years.

Wonderful Service

published

Only switched to NBN today. There were lots of issues with a modem (my one I’d had from a previous company). Tim and Mike from Barefoot spent SUCH a long time on the phone with me, it wasn’t an easy fix! They were patient and knowledgeable. I haven’t got any feedback about the internet but customer service is fantastic. Well done guys!!

Dishonest

published

BEWARE. While claiming no exit fees, Barefoot is still operating strict monthly cycle charging with no pro-rate refund. Like most people, my transfer to another ISP was initiated part-way through the monthly billing cycle. Barefoot will continue to charge me for the service not provided for the rest of the month. That is an effective exit fee, which can be close to $90. BEWARE the false claim of no exit fee.

Any charge as you exit that relates to a service not provided is an exit fee. Ask any customer. Better still, all reader, if you think this is an exit fee, 'Like' this review and expose Barefoot for what they are.
