I have always had fast speed even in busy times between 7pm and 11pm at night.
Never had a drop out. Have had great customer service every time I have rung. Would never have thought of internode until someone recommended it to me. I hear about Telstra and Optus connections going down all the time. They need to change providers.

Works to my requirements most of the time.
Since connection to NBN, our connection has been very reliable. Dropouts are a thing of the past. We have only had a couple of dropouts, and these have occurred after storms. Internode investigate the problem quickly and push it through to a successful conclusion in a pleasant & helpful manner.

Double charged for unused service for 6 months, terrible customer service
Terrible customer service, left with a $400 dollar bill for a service at old address that was unused when I tried to transfer my service over to new tenant. Id been a customer for 10 years and was trying to do the right thing and refer customers.

ompletely unused for 6 months. The new resident set up a new account through internode, so for that address there has been two unlimited accounts for the last 6 months, the one I was paying for being completely unused. Meanwhile our adsl account at our new address has been dropping out for weeks and has now completely stopped last Friday, after hours on the phone to technical support trying pointless trouble shooting there is no clear path to repair as cant confirm if inside or outside of property and costs to rectify if inside so I wouldn't wish to be hit with higher fees.Customer ServiceInternode
That's unfortunate to hear, Peter. We're sorry to hear of your decision in response to this outcome and wish you all the best in future, - T

Good!! But not great.
The connection is down sometimes and have to keep restarting or wait for it to get better.
Tech team cant do much but keep following the troubleshooting steps, which works sometimes.

Worst company - under 2mbps even after technical support
Had consistent slow internet speeds for over 6 months. Every call to internode, they reset the port, 24 hours later, back to under 2mbps. Call to get permanent fix - was told will cost $200 in technician fee, or I can go to another provider for NBN. they have no accountability or care if customers stay or are happy.
time to change providers.

Hi The One H,
Thanks for your review!... Read more
It sounds like you have an ongoing line issue and the team has quoted you the incorrect callout fee that the wholesaler mandates be charged, should they need to attend and find that the issue was caused by your own equipment, past the network boundary point (usually the first socket in the premises). This is standard process and we must quote this cost to you - the charge may not be levied and is only done so if the wholesaler technician decrees that its valid. If we've suggested that moving to another provider is an option, this suggests that we believe that we may not be able to resolve the line issue and that we've chosen to give you the option to move on as a result. This is not taken lightly and is one of the last resort measures available to us, as we'd like to do everything that we can to retain you. However, please understand that there is only so much that we have control over. We'd suggest check the connection speed in the modem when connected via ethernet cable, with Wi-Fi fully disabled, with the phone line from the wall socket to the modem directly connected and not running through any filters or splitters. If the connection speed doesn't improve, even when connected this way, then we do suggest working with us to have a fault lodged, so the wholesaler can then attend. If you happen to have a ticket number for this, please feel free to reply here with it and we'll gladly arrange a call for you (you can also obtain a new ticket number here: https://secure2.internode.on.net/contact/online/support/). You're always able to call upon the Complaints Handling Policy (https://www.internode.on.net/about/legal/complaints_handling/) as you need to as well. Thanks for getting in touch! - LSimilar opinion?

Amazing Service
My wife and I have been with Internode now for eight years and as we move into our 70's, we're finding some of the IT changes very challenging. Recently when trying to download our email service onto my wifes iphone we kept running into brick walls and felt that we weren't any progress at all. We rang internode and the technician very calmly (as they always do !! ) talked through the process and solved the problem I also believe that they saved our marriage at the same time!!! AAA service with every phone call.

Placed an order a month ago and still no service
On December 19, 2022 I submitted an order for an Easy Broadband 500 plan. Two weeks later (02/01/20) I received a text stating my order was on hold awaiting investigation (it was up to me to call Internode to find out what the problem was). After calling them I was not clear what the problem had been, but I received another text saying my NodeLine order was now scheduled for January 8, 2020. That date comes and goes, and I ring again on the 9th to find out what’s going on. I was on the phone for close to an hour, only to be told it would still ...Read more
be another 3-5 business days before I can be connected. Frustrated, I inform them that I will be cancelling my non-existent service to seek out another ISP as I felt Internode were taking too far too long. I’m put through to the customer care where I speak with [name removed]. His charismatic sales tactics persuaded me to stay with Internode as it would be inconvenient and cost more of my time to set up a similar service elsewhere. Plus he told me that if I stayed he would add a one month credit to my bill to say sorry for the trouble. I reluctantly agreed, because as infuriated as I was with the complete lack of action from Internode, changing companies at that late stage would have purely been motivated by spite. He insisted that my service would definitely be up and running within 3-5 business days from the date we spoke (09/01/20). Six business days roll by bringing the saga to January 17th, and I hadn’t heard a peep from Internode. I call provisioning yet again and I’m told by the customer service representative that my order request on the 9th was never submitted. She goes on to tell me that it will be yet another 3-5 business days before I have an internet connection. I have since written to [name removed], praising him for being so great at his job that he convinced me, a very disgruntled customer, that it would be less hassle and cheaper (because of the one month credit) to stick with Internode. Isn’t hindsight grand, though? The one month credit offered to me doesn’t come close to the covering the amount my household has had to spend on extra phone data packs to get us by these last few weeks. Had I cancelled my service last week, I could have been happily connected to the internet with a different company by now. But instead I’m here sharing my experience, bitterly motivated by the numerous dollars and inconveniences this complete lack of action has caused me. I hope [name removed] reconsiders his career choices as he could be using his skills of persuasion to inspire something good in the world instead of convincing innocent people to stay loyal to a shamefully inept internet company that doesn’t actually connect internet. I am beyond unimpressed with the lack of service I have been offered by Internode and do not recommend this company. I would love to be able to review the actual product I have ordered from them but, as Internode has demonstrated, they appear to have a warped sense of how long 3-5 business days is. I may be waiting a while longer.3 comments

We want to have a look at this, as there must be sold reasons why this is taking so long. We'll happily accept our part for any delays we've contributed to here, as are accountable for this, but at the same time, we are dependent on the wholesaler and their systems as well as technician availability. We certainly don't believe that staff that you've spoken to have intentionally misled you; they've plainly stated that cancelling an application whilst its in play would result in further delays, which is absolutely correct. If you happen to have a ticket or order number (if not, you can obtain one here: https://secure2.internode.on.net/contact/online/support/), please reply with it, so we can locate your account.

Very bad experience with Customer service
I have to admit that I have no problem with the technical service.
However, I did receive a very bad and rude customer service on 12/01/2020. I had have a contract with internode since 07/2016. My account was closed due to no payment on time. I paid off everything including interest on 07/2018. But my account was closed. I had to reapply a new contract with internode. Up till now I have had internet service with internode for nearly 4 years.
Today I was asking to cancel my services. The customer service asked me to pay for contract break fee...Read more
as It is not 2 years yet since 07/2018. You guys closed my account and said it cannot be reopened, so that I had to reapply a new contract. The customer representative is not helpful at all and find excuse and push all the responsibilities away. That is how a 4 years customer has been treated. Shame on you guys. I won’t use internode any more in future.6 comments

Hi Yingrui,
Thank you for your feedback, we do take this on.... Read more
We most certainly can investigate the call that you had with staff. We can't discuss account specific issues here, mainly to preserve your privacy, but we can speak in general terms. If an account has been cancelled/terminated due to non-payment of invoices for service, contract break fees are deemed to be valid, as the original payment failure is treated as the reason for the contract being broken. Therefore, the contract break fees and any outstanding debt would need to be paid first, with any debt collections removed from the account. Once this is completed, then we can consider a new application for service, but at our discretion. You're always welcome to reply here with a ticket number ( you can obtain one here: https://secure2.internode.on.net/contact/online/support/) and we'll use this to locate your account and have an escalated callback arranged as per our Complaints Handling Policy (https://www.internode.on.net/about/legal/complaints_handling/). Thanks! - LThanks for your reply.

Happy customer on Kangaroo Island 2/1/2020
I have been with Internode for many years and connected to NBN through them a few years ago. The staff are always very polite and very helpful. When we connected to NBN through Internode, I needed to phone Internode to set up the modem which was done very quickly and since then we have not had any problems. The house is also a rental house and over peak times the data has been used. Internode have been very helpful to six this problem a few times at no extra cost. Internode is also a South Australian Company and very happy to stay with them.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for leaving your review. We believe some of the statements made here aren't correct, so we're going to respond accordingly:... Read more
* Internode does not implement broadband slowing of ADSL services except for: - where services have a set data limit and these are shaped to 256/256kbps once over their data limit; - where the service is an Off-Net ADSL2+ service and the wholesaler has chosen to limit the capacity at the exchange due to the lack of backhaul availability within their network. * Internode does not slow speeds down on ADSL services to improve connection speeds or capacity on other types (such as NBN). * All ADSL2+ services will work as fast as the line can physically support - if your line speed has degraded, troubleshooting and fault lodgement is the way forward to restoring the connection speed. To that end, we'd love to hear from you so we can lend a hand. Please reply here with a ticket number if you have one (you can obtain one here: https://secure2.internode.on.net/contact/online/support/), so we can locate your account and arrange contact. Alternatively, you are always welcome to engage the Complaints Handling Policy to obtain further help: https://www.internode.on.net/about/legal/complaints_handling/ We do look forward to hearing from you, so we can help. - LSimilar opinion?

From what I have seen of friends accounts with other providers, I have the best
I've had ADSL2 for many years with Internode & the last couple on NBN. Problems have been very few & when I had any Internode were fast to fix them.
I certainly wouldn't shop around .. I have no need to.
I will be moving house soon & know it has new issues I need to face, but have faith that Internode won't let me down.
