Just so easy
NBN 25/5 (Starter)I have a teenage daughter and this is her first mobile. It’s so easy to keep her in data and teach her how to manage it with this system. It’s nearly fool proof !! Love it !
The worst call centre EVER!
NBN 50/20 (Standard Plus)I won't include all of the extensive details of the issues I had in the 4 months of my Belong experience as the story is very convoluted, but the problem goes back to the call centre. They had no idea of their product, the NBN process in Aus, they read constantly from scripts and, sorry, each of my 6 calls to them took so long as I could not understand much of what was being said. Stay away
VERY DODGY INTERNET PROVIDER
NBN 50/20 (Standard Plus)This is probably the worst internet provider you could ever choose, the staff have no idea how their product works and hence cannot help should something go wrong. I had an incident where my internet just went out for no reason, when I called customer service they just kept on saying I should reset my connection and then wait 24 hrs. This happened for a couple of days before they decided to send me a new modem of which it still didn't work. Their response to the new modem not working was to reset it and wait for 24 hrs, this happened for 2 days
... Read more before customer service told me that the problem was with the wiring in my house and that I had to hire a technician WITH MY OWN MONEY to fix the problem. After that resolution that they came up with I decided to terminate my contract with them, firstly because I had been a loyal customer of theirs for over 2 years and feel that anything internet related that needs a technician to fix must be paid by the internet provider as there must be a portion of your monthly subscriptions that should cover such issues. Secondly it took Belong about 8 days to come up with this resolution that I must hire a technician. After I terminated my contract with belong I got a new internet provider who said that if they found anything hindering me from getting access to internet, they would send out a technician at their own expense. When my new modem from my new internet provider arrived my internet worked without any issues after I plugged it in, there was no need for a technician and there was nothing wrong with the wiring in my house. I DO NOT RECOMMEND BELONG, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. VERY DODGY INTERNET PROVIDER
Hi Luke, internet troubles can be frustrating and if a reset hasn't worked there's more we should be looking into before recommending a private technician.

NBN 50/20 (Standard Plus)Service itself was ok, nothing too bad nothing too good, with occasional drop outs, I can call it average.
BUT they decided to keep whole monthly fee even for the service being disconnected mid month. That's in their fine print - no pro-rata.
Then 8 months later they informed me that they reducing my speed on the service that meant to be disconnected long ago. First - what a lousy practice! Decent company would keep providing service for their loyal customers without pulling dirty tricks like that. Second - what do you mean "active service"???

Always good
NBN 50/20 (Standard Plus)All great.thankyou for really good service. I have recommended this to everyone.
brilliant experience, unmatched network
NBN 50/20 (Standard Plus)I have been on Belong NBN FTTP for almost 3 years and recently NBN FTTB as i relocated to a different address....Belong had been an amazing experience....almost no downtime in over 36 months...Simplified processes, best billing arrangements from 1st to last day of the month and if you join in the middle of the month you are not charged for those initial days...Amazing online and over the phone support....It really depends on nbn infrastructure at your address, if nbn network is problem free then you will have no problems with Belong. amazing value plans, very easy to connect and disconnect or relocate.
Worst customer service in the world
NBN 25/5 (Starter)1 hour 25 min on the call to clarify where to send the modem. Never again.
Sorry to hear it took longer than expected to update your delivery address. We'll pass on your feedback. -Rhys

Worst Service ever
NBN 50/20 (Standard Plus)So i moved to victoria from Tassie and got my internet connection set up with Belong a week before moving into the property so that i dont have to face any trouble. We moved in on 31st Aug and i got email from Belong that everything is up and running. I connected my modem and there was no internet. So i called the customer care number and they advised me that i should plug in the port in the bedroom as i was doing it in the phone plug in kitchen. Nothing happened in bedroom plug and i called again and other technician advised me to go back with

They said i should get new modem, i bought $147 new modem still doesnt work. 6 days, more than 5 hours on call with belong, 3 different modems, it didnt work. I cancelled the services. Next day i got serviced from other company and guess what, it worked in fee hours that too with my old modem.G'day Ravinder, sorry to hear things didn't go to plan with your order.

NBN 50/20 (Standard Plus)Fantastic service. I can’t believe that my phone call was answered within a couple of minutes. Excellent service and fixed my issue (which was my mistake). Internet up and working instantly and fast speed. Really happy I moved over and they are cheaper.
Wish I chose someone else and read reviews
BroadbandHaven’t even been connected yet and the service is terrible. Being connected 06/09, requested a modem 22/08. No dispatch yet or tracking number. I have 1 more business day before I’m meant to be connected. Called customer service twice and the responses are inconsistent, unhelpful and unclear. I work from home and moving house I organised delivery early to try and make this a smooth transition but clearly not.
Offered to pay courier fees to receive it urgently but offered no other solutions just “processes” and no definitive answers.

NBN 50/20 (Standard Plus)Internet has been dropping out sporadically for approximately 6 months. New modem sent by Belong to remedy the issues - Failed to work. I have been on the phone to Belong phone staff on many occasions, and without fail, they always tell me to do the exact same thing, being 'switch off at wall, turn back on, wait', 'reset your modem with the button', 'reset the NBN box', 'what colour are the lights' - this is asked a minimum of 10 times per phone call, and each time it's the exact same answer. Belong, on many occasions, have told me they would '
... Read moremonitor' my internet and call me back at a set time the next day - NEVER receive calls back on any occasion. Belong clearly do not keep good records/notes of any phone calls as each time I find myself repeating the same issues to a different person, they then tell me to rinse and repeat. In this off chance this repeated 'guidance' works, they consider it mission accomplished and say the internet will cease to drop out, closely followed by a barrage of dropouts until I call back and repeat the entire process of explaining the situation and what the modem lights are doing. Last night I contacted Belong and had a lady answer my call - unfortunately, absolutely horrendous to deal with. I asked her 'can you please put me onto another person, please', she said 'I cannot do that'. It took her 40 minutes to understand fairly basic information and resulted in what I wanted, being the NBN technician to come out and try again. I cannot recall the ladies name, but I have had her on the phone in the past and found myself repeating the EXACT SAME information for about an hour. With all that, I do like Belong WHEN ITS WORKING, which has been quite rare in the past several months. 2/10 - Definitely do not recommend. 100% choose someone else for your internet service.Hi there, thanks for taking the time to flag this with us. Drop outs can be frustrating and we’re sorry to hear you’ve haven't had a good experience when troubleshooting with us over the phone. Please know we have passed on your feedback - Jules

Disgusting Behaviour by Belong
NBN 100/40 (Premium)My home internet drops out multiple times per day for hours at a time, i spent an hour on the support line with Belong where they painfully instructed me to repeat all possible resolutions i had tried before calling them. Then they said they can offer NO support and i have to contact a technician and pay for it myself. Incredibly unprofessional I would advise anyone to pick a different provider so you can avoid a hassle like this. I should also mention we have been with them for over two years now so this is how they treat valued customers. I will be looking for a new provider very soon.

NBN 50/20 (Standard Plus)The worst service available Maybe it's only me, but I've experienced the worst service. I recently moved homes and gave them my new address a week ago; as a result, I got the confirmation email and can start using my internet as soon as I am settled. When I first moved into a new house, there was no NBN box, which required 5 days to be delivered. When I contacted customer support, they advised that it usually takes 24 to 48 hours for the NBN to connect, and I agreed. But they were still unable to give me the service after four days. They took 2 weeks plus 4 days to complete this process, at which point I chose to switch to a different supplier. The good thing is that they did not charge me. I emailed the customer sercvie too.

NBN 50/20 (Standard Plus)We had service from Belong for one year and it wasn't great. We had multiple short dropouts and interruptions over this period (longest was 4-5 hours) as well as spotty connections in a back room with the standard router. As a result changed the router but no improvement than connectivity (so supplied wifi router is not very good). CS was hard to get hold, at times ( this was peak lockdown) but was OK when reached.
