The staff were incredible so helpful even when out of hours.
Great connection and service better than I have experienced in many years. They were there last minute and when all other companies were out of hour they helped out. The best customer service I have had for as long as I can remember.

Go Mint!
We are an SME that places a great deal of importance on personal service, quality, knowledge & support ... Mint Telecom not only ticks all boxes, but also does it in a competitive manner.
No doubt the right move for us when we changed over to the NBN for both internet & phones; the transition & setup was sooo smooth.
The equipment turned up ready to plug & play, it works well and the ongoing support is excellent.
We only gave 5 Stars because there aren’t any more to give ...

The A team.
I had previously had ongoing issues with my isp switching between isp's and still getting no results, No assistance nor anyone capable of getting a tech to come and work it out.
Switching to mint was my saving grace. Being minutes away from ripping the box off the wall and using it as a Frisby to my dog the mint team assured me they'd sort it. A few tests and a couple days the mint team had a tech out replacing my antenna, redirecting my service to an alternate tower and my speed tests from 2mbps to averaging 20 plus at peak.
This was going on 12 months ago(ish) and I'm still yet to have a single issue with their service. Kudos to mint! You've slowed my balding and grey hair production.
Thank you.

Fantastic customer service and provider
We recently left Mint Telecom, but not because of a bad service. Michael and his team are absolutely terrific. They monitored our service for any issues and promptly raised them when they were identified. We had the unlimited 50/20 package which served us really well. We would highly recommend Mint Telecom, Michael and his team and will certainly be back if it doesn't work out at our new provider.

Best ISP Ever!
Prior to moving into my unit, I check on this website for the best telco provider and was impressed with Mint Telecom having the highest rating to everyone else. I went to their website and joined up with my move in date and the very next day even though they are located in Tassie and I'm in SEQLD, I received my modem the next day. It was complete plug and play and I've never had an issue with my internet. The team are so friendly and warm and they go above and beyond to give you the best advice and service. I was thinking since I had a 4K ...Read more
TV that I should upgrade to the highest NBN service and they saved me $20 a month extra by assessing my situation and said that it would be a waste of money as my service is premium now and upgrading would not make a difference. Do yourself a favour and sign up to the best. You won't regret it.1 comment

Best Customer Service!
Mint Telecom have the best customer service we have encountered from an ISP. We have never had an issue getting through on the phone & they are available out of hours via Facebook Messenger. They always respond promptly when we message them.
Our experience with our NBN Fixed Wireless over the last few months has been horrible, with lengthy dropouts & extended maintenance. All the issues we have had can be attributed to NBN.co and not to Mint Telecom. Mint Telecom have spent hours via Facebook Messenger working with me to try and troubleshoot our connection issues, much of this time out of normal business hours.
I can highly recommend Mint Telecom to anyone looking for an ISP with an Australian based support & customer service team.

Mint Telecom provides quality help and prompt service that is exemplary!
Their support service even exceeds the calibre of Internode + iiNet waaaaaay back before being bought out by TPG - even earlier for iiNet; before they bloated with advertising, dumped quality for quantity, and outsourced everything.
Have now had their service for my previous address (FTTN) and current, which had issues with a missing Terminating Panel, from which Kelvin from Mint has taken care of with consistent effective communication and resolution.
Their network provision has always been consistently of high quality, with this plan supporting multiple simultaneous video streams without dropout or loss of quality.
I cannot recommend even considering any other service

Best customer services and friendly staffs
I signed up with Mint 3 weeks ago. Their staffs are always helpful and patient with my queries. They have the best customer service that you won't get from any other places. Their live chat feature is life saver, simply sending photos and questions, all could be sorted in minute. Not like other ISP which you need to fill in a form via email and got an answer overnight. I highly recommend Mint!

Great service.
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.

Excellent customer service
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.

He seemed to of fixed the problem and I thought it was all good but over the weekend I had issues because at that stage didnt realise it was nbn cable issue. I get an email from mint first thing Monday morning saying, hey we see that you have had dropouts over the weekend and we want to get this problem sorted ASAP so we have organised nbn to come out tomorrow. I didnt even need to call anyone! I did nothing! No phone call, no worrying, no stressing, no anger! Nothing! And boooom my internet is perfect!!!! Man, after 3 weeks of Telstra and 100 phone calls they couldnt even help or do anything because I was talking to ten different people Mint fixes it within a bloody day mate!! Legends!!! Go with mint!

Sick of poor customer service with Telcos? Go with Mint Telecom!
We are a small business employing around 30 people in Sydney, with three showrooms in other locations in addition to our head office location. We used Mint Telecom to set us up with, and manage, our upgrade to NBN. Since then - about eight months ago - our experience with them has been nothing short of outstanding. First of all, the plan is very cost effective, and they helped us get set up in the beginning. But perhaps the most surprising of all (we have grown accustomed to poor customer service and technical back-up with telecommunication...Read more
s companies) was the ongoing technical support and administration assistance. They have been ridiculously responsive and have helped us within minutes every time we have had questions or administration requests (changing recorded messages, adding new staff to call rings, etc).

Really bad
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.

Questions & Answers
Tezasked
do mint have email addresses?
3 answers
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
Thanks Michael.
Hi Tez, I can get you a permanent custom email address, through my web hosting business, use our contact form and I'll tell you more.

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.

If it's already installed then we can activate same day.
Best to contact us well in advance though as we can get it all ready and schedule to activate whenever required.
