Have had Foxtel NBN for 2 years, speeds are constant over the whole day 45 MBPS, never had a problem or dropout, previously with Optus which was more expensive and less reliable.

Very poor service if there’s a technical fault, I’ve had no internet service for 4 weeks now, numerous calls to Foxtel, 3 IQ HUBS, going on the third NBN technician going around in circles??? Don’t bother with Foxtel go somewhere else.

No service

Had Foxtel Briadband for a few weeks but it went down on a Sunday.

I rang technical support and they were unable to fix it over the phone. They said someone would contact me.

On Tuesday I was asked if I had enquires about getting Telstra. I told them that I had transferred from Telstra. The consultant told me that they had been contacted by Telstra and this meant an automatic hold. I was told I would be contacted. I was not.

I cancelled the next Dunday as I had revived no support.

Someone rang me the next Monday.

Foxtel provide no support and donf care. They are worse than Telstra.

Broadband customer service

OMG do not get Foxtel broadband, if you have issues with Telstra this is no different dealing with a off shore call centre with no care or customer service going of what they are trained for that is scriipted
Being loyal dosnt matter with these guys, there focus is proffit. Other NBN retailers are cheaper .
Make sure you get away from Telstra and Foxtel Broardband as there are so many more cheaper and better customer service then them

Fast, affordable and easy to setup

published

We have recently upgraded to the NBN through Foxtel and are really happy with the choice. It was very easy to set up, we get excellent download speeds, no dropouts to date and can have several devices connected to the internet at the same time without any issues. The price is reasonable for the service provided and we also bundle pay TV with our internet to get it cheaper.

Super fast and easy to set up

I found it very easy to set up, just plug it into the NBN box, flick on the power and it's up and running. I get 47 Mbps even in peak time so very happy with it.

Terrible nbn and terrible customer service

published

Nbn is worse than adsl 2 ::, when i use only Facebook I have to actually wait for it to load especially from 12 am to 7 am. Calling their number 131999 you get a voice message system that takes forever to get to a human and the human is some idiot who can’t speak English.. never sign up to Foxtel and the tv service is horrendous $80 for basic tv and $180 for tv with movies . Sucks

Customer service is non existant. The internet is slow and cuts out all the time. They change what plan you are on and charge you more, I honestly don't know how they are still operating in australia

Signed up for the NBN, 2 missed appointments, 5 weeks of waiting, the call center is a joke and frustrating, case manager is a smoke screen - EVERY commitment has been broken. If I ran my business like this I would be closing the doors. Absolutely disgraceful. They are a national joke! Please use anyone else PLEASE. I never write reviews, but this was too much!!

not good

published

Have been on Foxtel NBN for approx 3 weeks. Telephone and NBN continually go down.
Continually have to reconnect the internet to the laptop and the IQ4 box to the internet.
When you ring Foxtel the staff are not able to know how to fix the problem.
I emailed the NBN but they have ignored me.
The whole NBN is a mess and we all have to on eventually.

RUBBISH

published

Don’t even think about getting FOXTEL broadband. I decided to go with them to save money because I already had Foxtel on my tv. Worst decision I ever made. The modem is rubbish - the signal is rubbish. Every time I turn the tv on I have to reconnect my iQ3 to the internet. Sometimes it won’t even connect. Download speeds are pitiful. They old me it was my iQ3 box that was the problem and sent me a new one Even though I told them that I never had any problems with my Telstra modem. I am currently sitting in front of my tv watching the “connecting” wheel spinning and nothing happening.

Foxtel Broadband

Foxtel internet keeps going down. Every two days or so, our internet goes out anywhere from 15 minutes to now over 24 hours. Keep calling Foxtel only to be told there are no outages, yet we talk to other town residents and they are experiencing the same things. Foxtel uses Telstra nbn lines...and there doesn't appear to be an end in sight. We keep getting told that it must be an issue in our lines...yet if that were the case, other people wouldn't be having the same problems. All this started with switching to nbn. I used to be with iinet, but switched our internet to Foxtel because their television service has been great. So sorry that we did that now. I'm paying for internet that I can't use half the time and it's getting extremely frustrating!

Anyone else experiencing these issues? We're in regional WA.

Foxtel Broadband

well, we thought we were alone. We have had discussing customer service while trying to get internet at our home. They make out you are dumb and their answer to everything is to disconnect reset or get your computer checked. Same routine every call. Had no home phone for 3 months and when I asked for compensation was told we didnt pay for the phone so cant help you. Have had Telstra out once and they are coming today again, oh but it works when they are here and 5 minutes later its gone again.Out of the 40 odd calls I have made we still dont have internet. If it wasnt for the sports channel I would tell them to stick the whole lot where the sun dont shine. Our previous broadband was with Spintel and we thought that was bad having to ring once a fortnight but this is every day. If anyone has changed who have they changed to and is it any better? Thanks
