Great service, great pricing model
Really a different experience than other ISPs out there. Very little congestion (as little as there can be for my wireless connection), cheap prices and no contracts. All around a great company offering a quality service that is sorely lacking in the industry right now.

Awesome Internet
When I researched an NBN service Launtel was the only ISP I could not find a single bad review for. Now I know why, my new internet is very fast and reliable and connecting couldn't have been any easier. IPoE is much better than pppoE, no more pesky MTU settings and you can get the last drop of speed out of your internet by directly connecting your computer to the NBN device bypassing any dodgy home networking equipment that might slow you down.
Support is pretty good too. I had emails answered after hours and on weekends.
The only very minor issue I have found are the payment options. I don't like manual payments and like to avoid auto top-ups. I'd much rather have an autmated payment of a fixed amount on a regular basis.

Hi Andy
Thanks for the review and feedback. ... Read more
We absolutely HATE PPPoE, it's a legacy protocol for legacy time when ATM was the defacto standard. We have a PPPoE concentrator simply to allow people to connect using that protocol and then we work with them to switch to good old DHCP. We are working on providing a method for a fixed amount every month or every few weeks. It is a challenge because of our daily billing model and speed change dynamic but we are actively working on it.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Awesome customer service and terrific product!
Emailed a request to trial Launtel service on Saturday long weekend...with an hour I was connected - outstanding!!! I have been super happy with my service this week, very reliable and fast speeds. I would recommend Launtel in a heartbeat!

Great service of all ISPs
This company has the best service one could ask. Little expensive on some plans but service is great. Love the feature of pausing service as required for coast house. I would switch my other service if their prices where better in Canberra but it suits my NSW property.

I never thought it would be this easy...
You can always expect delays or hiccups when signing up for interwebz. Well at least for me!
I signed up with this service to ensure my Mother could work from home without hassle.
I prepared myself for the to-ing and fro-ing only to be surprised that it was done perfectly the first time.
Now, my mother has her other son back in the house all the time, so she's never alone.
This product brings families together, or perhaps just my brother to a high speed internet connection like a moth to the flame. But let's go with the former!

Different to others
I was looking to change provider's for a while(fttp). I found Launtel on product Review and went through the process and signed up. They are different because they are pay as you go you can even pause your service if you go away or just can't afford for a while. I'm on 50/20 $2.08 per day at sign up was on special. So far service has been very good. Ping 34ms down 45 up 18 on wifi haven't tested on ethernal cable. I had been with My Republic on nbn for over 2 years before there service became hopeless.

The best ISP in Australia
have been using Launtel for a week so far. Speed is normally >80% of peak advertised speed. No dropouts so far. I love the flexibility of speed and suspension of service at no cost provided by Launtel. All ISP's should be doing this.

We love pausing our service too! We are trying to break the mold and if that means more ISPs allow pausing and greater flexibility then we have done our job well!

Launtel puts faith back into Internet Satisfaction
I found out about Launtel through another service provider and when I contacted them they offered me 7 days free trail. Connected within 7 mins of contacting them, Stella service from their friendly staff, all questions were answered and cannot fault them in any way ! Launtel should be your first choice for a reliable Internet service . Providers promise the world but never deliver, Launtel is the first ISP that delivers on everything they say.

Excellent customer service
Currently on the free trial having churned from Superloop, thought I’d give Launtel a try after reading the reviews here. Churning took about 5 hours, I queried this via Facebook then 10 minutes later I was on. I was on the 100/40 plan which I getting over 100Mbps. Decided to switch over to the 50/20 plan to see if this plan suited our family but switching to the new plan took 5 days as Vocus manually changes the plans. Looking forward when the Chatswood NSW POI is linked directly with Launtel. Was told for my situation that if there were any p...Read more
lan changes to allow for a day for it to be processed by Vocus. I’m now on the 50/20 plan and getting over 50Mbps.There was a major outage with Vocus last week and was kept updated by Launtel via its Facebook page. Whilst I’ve had some hiccups during my trial Launtel has always responded to my queries and have bent over backwards to get things resolved. Superloop has an Australian support team but always difficult to get hold of them and when there was an outage, Superloop could see no problems at their end or blame NBN which doesn’t help my situation. I just want things fixed. Launtel’s customer service and support is the best I’ve come across. I’ve been with TPG ADSL, Optus cable and Superloop NBN. If you have a problem Launtel has live chat, Facebook and Messenger. Launtel sent me a messenger chat at 11pm at night asking if my problems have been resolved. Which ISP does that! Well done Launtel, I’ll be staying with you.1 comment

Fantastic customer service.
I live in Perth and had been with Kogan but was having problems with my NBN connection and I was unable to contact Kogan at all being left waiting 3 times for over an hour each time with no one answering.
So I was looking to change and used the chat feature on the website Launtel has to contact them and got a response within a minute! Liam and James helped me set up an account with them and helped troubleshoot the issue I had been having with my connection.
The customer service I got from Launtel was fantastic and I now have my NBN running smoothly with Launtel. All my dealings with the folks at Launtel has been fantastic so far and I encourage everyone who is looking to connect to the NBN to give Launtel a go.
Regards,
Tom

Very reliable. No drop outs experienced.
Great in that changes to plan speed only take 5-10 minutes (Understand this is not the case for all locations). Great to deal with a local business.

This is how you do customer service!
Initial connection was simple after changing from another provider. Really enjoy using the pause feature Had an issue after changing to a static IP, but this was resolved by Damian after a bit of troubleshooting. No reading from set responses here. So nice to have a company that sticks with an issue to try and get it resolved. Highly recommend these guys.

Simply the Best ISP
Simply the best ISP I've had to deal with and so thrilled to have found them. Service was up and running in no time with a free trial. Had some initial issues with NBN and Launtel tech support got this sorted promptly, and re-instated the free trial as I hadn't been able to use it until the NBN connection was fixed. The best thing is that I can pause the service when it's not needed, which is perfect as I alternate between home and our weekender. Would highly recommended Launtel to anyone looking for a flexible, reliable and responsive service. I like that they are a local Tassie small business too.

Hi Jackie,
Glad that you have found us and made the switch, sounds like a great option with the weekender also.
And we certainly make sure the 7 day trial is fair, no good if you cant use it!

Questions & Answers
Aryan S.asked
Possible if i can go more than 100mbps?
3 answers
Definitely, if you have Fiber to the premesis.
Yes with fibre to premesis but I have found slightly slower speeds, but I beleive that was due to very high traffic during peak times
Launtel SupportLauntel
Hi Aryan. Yes you can go all the way up to Gigabit (1000Mbps) but only on fibre the premises and only in certain areas where we have the CVC to compensate of the bandwidth required.
If you flick an email to [email protected] with your address they will be able to tell you if you can achieve those speeds.
Keep in mind that your router needs to be able to handle the speed too.
Yakub S.asked
Hi Launtel, what's the NBN connectivity in Darwin?
1 answer
Hi Yakub, Darwin is one of our directly connected areas so we can provision services quickly etc.
However we don't have any peering in Darwin (very few providers do) and instead backhaul it to Sydney first. This is not an issue for most people because 90% of Australian content comes from Sydney anyway. However if you are talking to a server in Darwin (like your office), the latency would be high.
The other thing to watch is that you should be careful doing speedtests over wifi in Darwin unless you know the packet loss is really low due to the high latency to Sydney.
