Connection is consistently so slow it's unusable - I tether off my phone.
Currently service has dropped out completely - can no longer use TV.
No way to contact anyone. I'll change provider asap.

Worst service ever

published

Continuous internet dropouts and poor speed constantly. My internet went out all day about a month ago and it took 3 days to receive a response. The internet has been out for the past 3 hours now and the belong website there are no outages in the area, although it said it last time too but the tech who called 3 days later said there was. Get your act together belong! Just FYI I work from home for a company and take customer service calls for work with no issues. You can do the same. Don’t use COVID as an excuse for your poor customer service.

Drops outs and more drop outs. It has been so frustrating. The staff were helpful but it was hard to get through with long waiting times. I pulled out after 4 months

Continued to bill me but fail to have the service up and running.

Hi
I had no internet connections for the last 5 weeks. I have lodge more than 10 requests via your web form but I am ye to get any call back or any response from you. I have also contacted NBN and explained the problem, they help me to troubleshoot and diagnosed the issue and told to contact you and let you know that you need to get in touch with them to requests service restoration because the optic or fiber is diconnected from main box..
I am completely dispointed that you did not provide the service but still managed to debt my account the monthly fees.

DON'T DO IT!!!!!!! Worst Support ever!!!!!!!!!!!

published

This ISP changed my connection to CGNAT in February 2020 without consulting me.
As a result I only maintain a secure connection for approximately 2 seconds then get booted from the online service I access to manage my home based business, as a result I have to use a Telstra Phone and tether to continue trading.
Belong have not addressed my problem.
Their tech support do not know what they are doing.
This problem has persisted for three months and I have exhausted all my points of contact including their formal complaints email address within their organisation.

Unable to contact Belong

published

I tried to contact Belong about joining their nbn however I had a couple of questions one being are there any delays in getting my internet connected and are there any delays in the supply of a modem due to Covid 19. I couldnt get through on the phone so I sent a brief note on their HELP page. I received an instant automated reply see below seriously if that many customers are having issues I dont want to become one of their stats.
We’d love to have you onboard, but due to COVID-19, some of our customer support teams are unable to work, so we’re prioritising our help to existing customers who need us urgently. We know that having a solid connection is more important than ever, but we’re unable to reply to this request.

This is the worst internet company ever. We pay an extremely higher price for the modem and this kinda lock us into the company. But every month that I have to pay my plan I fell angry. Angry because this internet simply doesn't work!!! I’ve been paying 70$ monthly to use my mobile data at home! This is ridiculous! Now that I finally found a excellent internet company provider... Im not able to cancel!! No email, no online chat, no mobile number.. What is this? It’s a scam company that only takes your money and don’t give you nothing in exchange? Even respect?!?!
Already sent the email via the website and, reading all the comments in here, Facebook and other places, I know that I won’t receive an answer soon.

Don't choose belong!!!

Absolute Joke

published

I have been with Belong almost 12 months. Worst customer service and the connection is honesty a joke - it drops out at least 8 times a day on average. Won’t be renewing my contract.

If you have similar issues with your internet I strongly recommend you contact the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman they are completely free and recommended by the ACCC as they got me out of my contract fee free and made Belong refund us for the most recent month as our issues weren’t resolved by Belong.

Worst service don’t do it!

Unreliable connection, kept dropping out and couldn’t stream. No call centre open so very frustrating to wait to hear back from emails days at a time, so we switched to company that has open call centre to be able to speak to someone when issues arise. They charged us $200 to get out of contract also. We would of happily stayed if you gave us working internet. Not worth it!

NBN 25 (Starter)

Hi,
Our internet has been extremely slow for over a week and we cannot work from home which we have been forced to do. Belong reports there is no outage in our area.
Why can this not be fixed? We understand that there are workers affected by covid 19 but we cannot get any access to belong either online or by mobile phone which is causing much stress and the onset of renewed medical problems which is frightening.
We just want our internet speeds back to normal or we will lose our jobs as we cannot even contact our bosses at work.
Please please sort this problem for us as our health is suffering and as we are in our 60's we are very anxious and worried we will both lose our jobs which we simply cannot afford.
Please get back to us as soon as you possibly can. We are desperate to get our internet working effectively again.
Thanking you,
Kind regards
Jeanette F.

I had a similar problem. I just upgraded my plan to the premium evening speeds and all is fixed!

nette.fletch123

After discussing which pack would best suit our needs, we were advised by Belong that the starter pack was more than adequate for our needs and has been working fine for the last 5 months up until recently when the speed has dropped to almost non usable.
We are not sharing usage with anyone else and only one of us ever uses the internet at any one time usually just for surfing the net or emails.
We are paying for a service which no longer provides the service it had been providing and unfortunately we are not in a financial position to be able to upgrade to the premium service and have been advised we should not be forced to upgrade to the premium package to have our speed reinforced.
We trust Belong will correct this problem as speedily as possible without feeling like we're being held to ransom and pressured to pay for a premium package we can ill afford.

Hi Nette. We know that a solid home internet connection is more important now than ever. We don't expect customers to need to upgrade their plans in order to get the same service they were getting before either.

Please, contact us here: https://www.belong.com.au/support so we can follow up and get on this ASAP.

We’re working really hard & we’ll reply as soon as we can. Take care. -Taylor
