Subscribed to fibre optic NBN - 50mbps speeds. No dropouts, very stable. Customer service was very good when navigating signup. Had started the process with Aussie Broadband, but cancelled when I saw the great deal I ended up taking with Internode - $59 per month for first six months with 50/20 speeds. Free TP Link modem that rocks and no lock in contracts

I once had great service no drop outs and nearly always 50mbps speeds on a 50 plan then I moved 800 meters up the street and across the road, they told me I'm closer to the node now and can get a faster speed well that would require a connection that doesn't constantly drop out and when it is working get over 30 mbps and as for the so call tech help I emailed them on the 15th of march and still waiting for a response. so if you looking for an nbn provider internode is not the one to choose.

When I first signed up for Internode I was quite happy with the connection. I never had any drop outs and the speed was mostly as advertised.
However, I encountered an incompatibility issue with the modem they supplied (Archer VR1600V) and both my Xbox Series X and Xbox One X. For some reason, the connection drops out at least every 24 hours when connected via Ethernet cable. This issue has been documented extensively on the TP Link forums and they are certainly aware of it.
The first support technician I spoke to recognised the problem and...
Read more arranged for an alternative modem to be sent out to replace the Archer. Almost 3 months went by without receiving the modem and I was promised several times that I would be updated on its progress "the next day" but the call never came. I spoke with about 4 different support technicians until Anastasia made a solid effort to find out why it had not been sent. To her credit, she finally managed to get the modem despatched from their hardware team. To my surprise, when the modem arrived, they sent out the exact same model modem. I emailed them twice to let them know the same model was sent and received no reply. I eventually phoned them and spoke to a different customer service technician who dismissed my issue and said the problem was not due to the modem, even though the first technician I spoke to recognised the incompatibility issue. It was a very frustrating phone call and at that point decided to pay the extra cost to go back to Telstra. My problem is resolved with Telstra's Gen 3 modem and I haven't had any more issues. If you don't mind a solid internet connection but very poor customer service if you run into technical issuea, then Internode may be an option. Unfortunately, I would not recommend them after my experience.- Value for Money

NBN out now because of the floods for 9 days. It took Internode 6 days for them to notify me the NBN was down. This morning I received a text from Internode stating it was working again. IT WASN'T! 15 minutes later I received a text stating the NBN was down. Internode get your act together

Very poor internet service. Promising a speed of 50 mbps and delivering a speed of 2. Dropouts every hour.
Their tech support says there is no issue from their end. Ended up disconnected after 6 months of contract

I returned to Internode after some serious difficulties with sone other ISPs not providing the requested service (IPv6) and refusal to provide a stand alone NBN service. Internode were able to switch me to their service and activate the IPv6 in an afternoon- Most Impressive! which is the way the service has been since activation. No dropouts, great for streaming.

I've been an internode customer since 2014. They used to pride themselves on local customer service. And once upon a time they were fantastic at it. These days however, the service has been appalling and the customer service has been awful. If you manage to get through to customer service, you're speaking to their office in South Africa or Manila in the Philippines. The phone lines are terrible. The support isn't much better. Ideally, you would be dealing with a situation where your NBN service is consistent, but regardless of your ISP this is...
Read more almost never the case. What you're really looking for is somebody just to provide you solutions when you do have issues. I've been experiencing constant dropouts in my connection. I've had tech support visits from NBN, and with that supposedly my issue was solved. It isn't. I've since been dealing with internode customer service and tech support teams and offshore offices. They've not been any help. I have to say I was once upon a time a strong supporter of internode, no longer. I'll be leaving this business, frankly, they should close shop and be absorbed into their owner's brand, so to avoid their customers any more pain than I've experienced. I'm done. I am sure the NBN has had its part its to play in the issues I've experienced, but the fact remains, sometimes you have issues and you want your support to be able to deliver solutions, and that just isn't the case under internode's more recent operating model. Do yourselves a favour, Sign up to Aussie broadband. Save yourself the heartache- Incentivised Review No

An excellent service, works well whenever required irrespective of time.
My service has been extremely reliable ever since I connected over a year ago. The system has only crashed once during that time and the company actually kept me informed by e-mail as to their progress in repairing the system, which was back up within 12 hours or so.

Cannot recommend them enough! When I signed up, they noticed speed issues and assisted to fix them. Were more than willing to help, and was resolved. As for the ongoing NBN, never really had any issues at all. Regular contact for outages or issues. Very reliable and great customer service.

No dropoute in the past 6 months since joining this provider, and more importantly no buffering issues. When discount period finished after 6 months I was offered a further discount of 1 month of fees by agreeing to a further 6 months.

I have been with these guys for 6 years and overall had good experience. Network drop outs but customer service resolved my wi-fi issues satisfactorily. However this has been happening more frequently in recent months and it’s a pain because I have been working from home full time for 5 months. Maybe it’s the area I live in which causes network problems.

Very satisfied with transferring my service when moving house. I had internet acess within 15min of turning on my router. This is in stark contrast to past experiences with Telstra who i was with for 5 years until finally making the shift to Internode after too many letdowns.

I called the help desk when the NBN disconnected at home today. The guy over the phone kept on asking me to check the light on my modem, despite me explaining the issue is from the NBN as the download and upload lights on the NBN box were flashing abnormal. Then all of a sudden he said 'Do you want to listen to me or hang up the phone', then next second, he just hang up.
I'm still in shock by such horrible customer service. I understand everyone will have some bad time, but if he couldn't make the day, a day off could help. And also that will save my time to call back again and explain to another customer care.

I had a problem with many (but not all) web pages returning "server not found". This was not a problem the support person often saw. She followed up with her supervisor (no need for me to suggest it)and tried several options until the problem was solved (this was all on the same call - the only one I made). She also sent me a detailed email with how to fix it myself if it recurred in the future

The network is great but the customer service is the real reason I'm so satisfied with Internode. I have recommended multiple friends to Internode and my friends are just as impressed as I am. It's so good calling an Australia call centre and being looked after by someone who is not only great at their job, but also cares to give you the best they can offer. I'll be a lifelong customer if they keep the focus on their customer.

We have had lots of problems with the NBN none of them the fault of Internode.I have contacted Internode when ever I have a problem and usually within 2 minutes I am speaking to a real person who stays on the line until the problem is fixed.
Most recently the Internode person agreed NBN was constantly crashing due to a NBN problem,they were on to them straight away for a priority service call which was organised within 24 hours,the problem has now been fixed.
Internode go into battle for you and push NBN when necessary.
Speaking to a person not a machine and getting someone who fixes the problem rather than passes the buck is fantastic.
Without doubt the best service provider I have ever dealt with.
