Service is second to none!

The switch to this locally owned and operated business was the best decision. Their customer service is outstanding - they are so helpful, do what they say and follow up. They’re also easy to do business with and nice people to boot! We’re here for life, highly recommend!

Great service.

published

Moved houses and opted to stay with belong for ease. After 3 weeks of being given excuses (and getting scripted answers to every call made) and getting told it would be up tomorrow we lost faith. We spoke with Michael initially via Facebook as office was closed over Xmas. Called first day after and had nbn within 4 hours thanks to Kelvin. Not only was the service better but Kelvin talked us through the logistics of nbn in a large home. Result is a fantastic service with no buffering in a house with four teenagers.

If you expect service - don't bother

published

When your internet drops out, you are sent a link so you can diagnose your own problem. Then, you contact MINT and they will log a fault if there is one. Until then they will do NOTHING to help you. I joined because I wanted Australian service only to find there is NO service over holiday periods except over messenger through facebook. This company's plans are not cheap so if you want real service you are better off going somewhere else. They don't like being questioned or care if you are not happy either

Brilliant Customer Service

Best customer service I've encountered. Prompt, efficient and courteous. Our FTTN NBN connection has been a little unreliable, but MINT have gone over and above to try and help, even with this second-rate FTTN connection.

First class customer service

The customer service provided by the staff at Mint Telecom is second to none. The process of transitioning from ADSL to NBN was handled in a professional manner. I was guided through the process with patience (which I very much appreciated). Couldnt recommend highly enough.

Excellent customer service

published

Have had two separate connectivity issues recently, one with NBN and the other a problem with the modem. Mint worked on our behalf in getting NBN Co to repair our connection at the node promptly. Mint also resolved the modem issue by lending us a modem whilst another, new, one was ordered. It has now arrived and both issues successfully resolved. The customer service from Mint has been extraordinary in terms of timeliness and courtesy. Mint was recommended to us via word of mouth and we in turn would happily recommend Mint to anyone else.

Nothing will compare

published

After hesitating swapping to nbn network, I am so thankful to have come across Mint telecom. They have been amazing!!! From beginning to end the support has been extraordinary, particularly for technology challenged people.
Where the larger suppliers said no to our requests, MINT said yes. In particular retaining our fax .
We did have a hiccup initially, but the staff were fantastic and saw us through, communicating all the way till operating. Then even following up afterwards.
Customer service cannot be beaten, as the initial contact person walked the journey with us and what was even better they are based in Tassie. Nothing overseas.
It was worth every cent to support a local Aussie business!!!

Finally! A proper, customer focused ISP!

published

I have been with MINT for around 10 months now and cant speak highly enough of them. After previous years of ISP's providing mediocre service and internet speeds at best, these guys are phenomenal! Got a great initial deal for 50/20, then was informed the NBN wholesale price had changed so we would be dropped to the 25/12 plan. The process of informing me of the change and the reasons for it were transparent and reassuring. If you're questioning whether you should leave the big telcos, you should! MINT all the way.

Amazing communication between every involved at Mint.

The NBN tower is getting upgraded soon enough and the Mint team has been nothing but helpful in making sure we were up to date with our current situation, Since dropping our previous plan with another company, Mint welcomed us and have provided both good service and good customer service and deserve all the 5 stars they get.

Really bad

published

The advertised price is actually not what you would pay and there's always something on top of it.
Also, some services being hosted on AWS and Google are blocked. When you ran through the traffic, it goes through a proxy server "I THINK". which is not good.

No problems

I've been with Mint Telecom for a long time now and never had a problem with the provided NBN router or their service. I've communicated through email with them and they've always responded very quickly. They've never left any questions unresolved and have always provided excellent customer service. All great reasons for me to stick with them.

After my router died, the Mint Telecom team helped me attentively to get my WiFi running smoothly again. Customer service was incredible. They were immediately onto the issue, even while on the road! And I learned how important it is to have a good router – really helpful tips. Thank you Mint Telecom!

do mint have email addresses?

3 answers
Mint Telecom
Michael S.Mint Telecom

Hi Tez,
Email addresses from an ISP are not transferable so if you git an email address from us you wouldn't be able to keep it if you left us.
It doesn't make sense to us so we don't supply nor recommend this path. You are far better to get an email account with Gmail or Hotmail as they are both free and better than any email account from an ISP.
Cheers Michael

Hi Midge,
Best to contact us directly to cover, but in simple terms:
1. Yes - you can get all these services directly from each provider.
2. Yes - plan details are on website (bundles section).
3. For some types of NBN you can use. But you can never use for voice as telstra lock the settings.
Cheers Michael

Hi there, after decades with Optus in Melbourne and an optnetnet.com.au email address, I moved to Mint Telecom when I came to live in Hobart. Great service, by the way. However without Optus broadband I lost the Optus email address and moved to Gmail just prior to moving to Tasmania. Problem is now I plan to visit China and China it appears has banned Google (and Gmail). I see from previous posts that you do not offer Mint email addresses, so looking for an option. Incidentally, Optusnet.com.au can be accessed in China so a cheap broadband (mobile) Plan is I think one option, and I can use again my old Optusnet email address if I go with Optus. Have you any suggestions. Thanks Ross (Howrah)

Michael S.Mint Telecom

Hi Ross,
Interesting one. It looks like there are two simple options.
1. You can use a VPN so as to access Gmail (A quick google of how to use gmail in China will provide details); OR
2. Setup a different free email account that you can use temporarily. I.e. Hotmail appears to work in China and oyu could simply setup a rule to fwd emails from gmail to your Hotmail acct for that period.
Cheers
Michael

Ross
Ross

Thanks Michael, for the very prompt reply - could not read your 2nd option though. Google search reveals that China banned VPN in 2018, although commentators suggest they are more interested in their own citizens’ use and may not enforce visitor use - tread your own path. For a short 14 day tip may go cold turkey, however I will investigate a cheap Optus etc. Mobile broadband prepaid plan for 39 days and hook onto their email offerings (optusnet .com.au) which China does appear to allow. Thanks again.

Ross

Hi Michael, can read your option 2 - looks promising, so will investigate. Good service.
