Customer Service is Exemplary.
I was setting up some wifi equipment and unfortunately through frustration reset the router. I contacted Lizzy helpdesk and they were fantastic in their support, and now the network is running perfectly through all the wifi connections in the house. I would recommend their service and support without hesitation.

Excellent service.
I have been a Lizzy customer for years and I want to compliment them on their customer service & support.
They are always professional, patient and very easy to understand. I recently had problems with new software on my laptop. The guy I spoke to went above and beyond to sort it out for me.
I highly recommend them.

Used to be alright
I have ADSL2 with Lizzy and have been with them for 3 years, over that time I have experienced drop outs and a few issues here and there. One of the appealing things is the fact that they have an aussie call centre. But when things go wrong like they have been over the past 6 weeks there really is no solution. After they found out that I was moving house and not going with them again its pretty much a case of they cant do anything for me.
Even though I am on an unlimited plan at the end of each month it slows significantly and I have a usage...Read more
of max 150/200GB which is not excessive by any means. Some months they dont take payment out even though the funds are there and it is only once I prompt them that they do it and dont restrict the download speed. Overall I think dial up would be better than the substandard internet that I receive from them for approx $75 Per Month including line rental. I just did a speed test and I am currently getting 2.72 Mbps line speed and 340Kbps Down load speed making any form of usage impossible. Forget streaming foxtel or netflix you may as well just put $75 into a drum each month and then you will at least get something back in return. They offer no compensation either! Lizzy step into my office you are FIRED!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Great support!
I have an ADSL connection managed by Lizzy. My phone service was in the name of my wife who died seven months ago. Five months ago I arranged a transfer of her Telstra account into my name. The ADSL service was attached to that number. Three weeks ago Telstra disconnected the service - voice & ADSL - without notice.
I had paid the bills!
Telstra were prompt to reconnect the voice service but very slow to react to the problem with the ADSL service.
The Lizzy staff were terrific in sorting the problem out. Day after day for the past 10-14 days we worked on the problem together. I can now write this, and sort a few other business problems out, because of their dedicated support.

Brilliant.
We have been with Lizzy since the dial up days and they have always been nothing short of brilliant. On the very few occasions that I had trouble with my computer there was always a helpful, patient, easy to understand person to talk me through and fix the problem. Being Australian based is also a big advantage. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

The Slow And Painful Death
After being with Lizzy for almost 10 years, I would consider myself a loyal customer. Since moving house 5 years ago, I have had nothing but trouble with the connection and speed of my internet. I stayed with them because when you phoned you could actually talk to someone and they appeared to try and fix the issue. However eventually I narrowed down the problem myself to the large telco that Lizzy had partnered with to provide my service who had oversold and the connection was never going to improve. They agreed that this was the problem when I...Read more
asked them to shift to the other large telco that no one in my building had a connection or speed problem with they said they couldn't, neither could they make a complaint about the current Telco to quote the manager "frankly we don't have time." This did not deter them from continuing to charge me $80 a month for years for a substandard service. Ethically it is low to knowingly continue to charge a customer for a service that they were fully aware was not working a lot of the time. After years of trying to support a small telco, I am so so so so pleased to say goodbye as their product was completely inferior and their attitude in the end appalling in terms of customer service and fairness. I think once when I had no internet for a fortnight they reduced my bill accordingly but nothing else for the years of downtime. Its' great to have a Telco you can talk to but talk is cheap when they don't have the conviction to stand by a loyal customer. I also run a business from home so their poor service has been a stressful nightmare. If you are going to go with Lizzy (they are a subsidiary) customer ask first whether anyone sharing your exchange and secondary provider (Telstra/Optus) has had ongoing problems with speed or connection, if so steer way, way clear. I now cannot believe that I got sucked into a relationship by the sincere sounding caramel tones of the staff that seemed responsive and helpful but go absolutely nowhere. I have never written a review on anything before but I am so incensed by the lack of fairness in my contractual relationship with Lizzy and the hours of inconvenience and lack of service I had to.2 comments
I think you just further proved my point and selectively avoided the reality that your service knew for years that I was receiving a substandard service and continued to charge me the rate of a custom... Read more
er receiving a proper service. Its a simple yes/no point. Your advice to me in May/June this year was change my phone to Telstra, and then change back to you. This was difficult to do contractually and the down time was around 3 weeks (minimum) to go this path. My business could not afford at least 3 weeks down time. So forget your " Unfortunately our advice to change your phone to the Telstra network so we could connect you to an uncongested network was not heeded" How patronising!!! I have the right to express my experience (it was a long one) and the FACTS that surround my TOTAL dissatisfaction with Lizzy.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Thank you Lizzy.
We have been a Lizzy customer for quite a few years and really think it is one of the best around.
Price is NOT everything.
My husband was only saying at lunch that while we don't need their help very often when we do it is there and given in a very helpful, easy to understand, courteous manner.
Having an Australian based and staffed help centre is one of the reasons why we chose Lizzy at the beginning.
We have never regretted that decision.

Great service.
I have been with lizzy.com.au for approximately 20 years and have been extremely satisfied with their services; firstly dial-up and then broadband. I live on the Sunshine Coast and the service is great. I am also very satisfied that I get very little juck mail. I recently had a problem with sending emails and the problem was corrected quickly by speaking to a very competent employee. Thanks Lizzy.

Hidden charges
Obviously working as a subsidiary company, running toward capital gains. Sign up for plan, to get something completely different at a higher cost. Downloads amount misleading. Never received an agreement\contract\receipt for services supplied\agreed. Plans are aimed to achieve price hiking.

Hi Dez, which plan did you sign up for? How was it completely different and at a higher cost and in what way are the plans aimed at price hiking?

Australian internet provider...great service.
I have been a customer with Lizzy.com.au for a few years and I am thrilled with their service.
They are Melbourne based, I am in Sydney and that has been no disadvantage. What I particularly like is that I have got to know the names of the people who work there and I am dealing with human beings when I phone them, not an offshore robotic call centre. If they are busy anytime I leave a message and they call back in a few minutes. They have bent over backwards to help me with the numerous problems I have had.
I am a bit of a luddite but I ...Read more
like my speeds to be up and I rely on the internet for my phone and am now a heavy daily user. They worked very hard and very patiently to help me remedy the initial setup problem (which was not caused by them but was a phone outlet problem) and I really like the guys there and the fact that I know their names...Nicolas and Michael are the people I speak to mostly. I have gradually increased and changed my plans. I pay slightly more than I used to with a huge company that really didn't seem to care at all about any problem I had and I initially switched to Lizzy because I wanted to deal with an Australian smaller company . I got tired of offshore call centre conversations that went in circles and left me enraged and feeling helpless. The times I have had problems they were minor and quickly and patiently resolved. They have never overcharged me or taken advantage of desperation when I was in trouble for any reason. My billing has always been accurate and reasonable. And they haven't discriminated against me because I am elderly and don't always know the correct technical terms for what I am trying to tell them or discuss and sort out. Now I stick with Lizzy because I love them, they are very competent along with kind and considerate, which does make a huge difference to me. They do really know their business and have provided me with great packages that have allowed me to grow my use and get rid of my separate phone line, which has saved me a lot of money cause all my landline calls previously separately billed by a large company are now included in my monthly package. And no, they haven't paid me for this recommendation, except with a few good years now of excellent service. I initially found them because my neighbour recommended them. December 6th 2016 Update: Still with Lizzy, still loving their service.1 comment
I am still with Lizzy and last week switched to NBN. It went very smoothly, no problems. I know there are cheaper providers BUT I still like dealing with a few Australian guys whose names I know; still happy with Lizzy.

Excellent Broadband and Telephone service
After searching for various options and services, I decided to remain with my long standing dial-up provider lizzy.com.au that I was introduced to many years ago, by the mates rates scheme!
As no NBN Broadband is available - I decided on the ADSL2+ SERVICE that utilises my regular telephone line's - higher frequency band above the voice band - to transmit the Internet Broadband Service!
You will need to purchase an ADSL2+ modem, plus a "splitter" to eliminate any noise interference between the two services. So, if you would like to join suc...Read more

Easy upgrade.
I wanted to upgrade my internet and the staff acted swiftly and upgraded it with minimal fuss. They are always there to help. Whether by phone or email, they are always ready to address your issue and their knowledgeable technicians are the best in the business. Definitely a company that is on top of their game.

Questions & Answers
annieinegyptasked
I am based in Salisbury, Qld currently with Optus. Optus are unable to provide any acceptable broadband speed due to congestion (acknowledged by them). I am very close to my local exchange. Optus has no intention of upgrading the exchange and NBN is nowhere near. Are slow speeds going to replicated with Lizzy?

Hi Annie,
We connect customers in your area via the Telstra network.
We've no reports of Telstra congestion at the Salisbury exchange.
Telstra have no plans to upgrade the Salisbury exchange which suggests there is no congestion.
This is no guarantee, Telstra are coy about which of their exchanges are congested.
Genieasked
I am around 950m direct line from Hornsby Exchange, same landline number since 1997 has been an "in-contact" service since (about) 2010. All online checks show "Yes ADSL2+ is available at your address". However, in past 2 weeks to ISPs have stuffed me around (badly) each call-centre person stating "Line incompatible with ADSL2+" or "Churning (of line rental) rejected". Tally is 20+ hours on call to ISPs.
I am now wondering if the scenario is that there are no ADSL2+ ports available at Hornsby Exchange, NSW??
Value your help, suggestions and expert knowledge.

You don't mention Telstra in your message. If you are prepared to use their products I know they are more responsive to fixing problems. We also have had a problem like this when we shifted our factory location. It took 12 weeks and a change of phone number to relocate a service from about 2k's away from the exchange to a location about 100 meters away. ISP's will quote 2-4 weeks for establishing a new ADSL connection that Telstra can fix in 24 hours. Also try Lizzy (maybe AOL in Sydney). They worked tirelessly for me.
Michael B.Lizzy
Hi Genie,
Line qualifications show there are plenty of ports in Hornsby.
I don't think it's an issue of a lack of ports.
"Incompatible with ADSL2+", whose your phone service with?
It might be your phone service is not on the Telstra network?
Is it a plain vanilla phone service or does it have some special features enabled?
It's not ISDN is it?
Reply to Lizzy Official,
Yes line is with TLS and (as mentioned) in my question it's been as 'In-Contact" service since around 2010 - still with TLS as they mail me periodically "Do you wish to retain your In-Service designation on landline number

Hi Catherine,
Many more are provided over Telstra and AAPT' network. Telstra has the most incidence of overloading, Optus has some and AAPT has none. Where we can, we connect customers over AAPT. Some older customers such as yourself were connected over Optus, which in the main have been good but do have some cases of exchange overloading. It appears the cases of Telstra and Optus overloading is on the rise, some people speculate that this is because they are less willing to invest in exchange upgrades due to the looming presence of NBN. As you can appreciate, our preference is to connect via AAPT. Your service connected via Optus exchange equipment that was over loaded. Our lack of ability to get Optus to change their capital investment schedule was not a lack of interest in your issue but rather the reality of our inability to influence the decisions of a billion $ company. Unfortunately, there was nothing we could do to get Optus to accelerate their upgrade schedule so, because we were committed to you as a customer, we did advise changing your phone service back to the Telstra network, so we (or another ISP) could then avoid the overloaded Optus network in your area and provide you with a good service. Unfortunately our advice to change your phone to the Telstra network so we could connect you to an uncongested nework was not heeded and you feel that unless we could prevail upon Optus that we were unwilling to address the issue. I am glad to hear that you have found a solution, but I do believe you may have found a solution earlier had you heeded our advice rather than taking it that unless we could get a result from Optus that we were trying to duck the issue.We've worked diligently and provided the best advice available.
Some of our services are provided over the Optus ADSL network.... Read more
