Best I've ever had

published

Ovo is the best ISP I've ever had.
Previously I've been with Telstra and Vodaphone. They can't beat OVO for connection stability and value for money. They one time I've had to call OVO I spoke with an Australia call center, through a clear line without having to wait on hold. They fixed my problem without transferring me other departments or putting me on hold.

No drama, efficient OVO customer service

published

Testing advice and setup modem advice from OVO support was patient with me and done logically and efficiently despite my telco's call dropouts and call backs. No drama, no presumptions, just acurate fantastic customer service.

Best telco ever!

published

I have been with OVO now over one year and never had any trouble. The price is absolutely terrific and have never experienced dropouts. Super fast & friendly chat option. Can only recommend it.

Not bad, held back by horrible congestion

published

The service is pretty good value for money in terms of mobile data, but lately the congestion has made it very unreliable. If this gets fixed, it's an easy 5 stars.

Automatic Recharge without any notice

published

I've had a tablet - data only plan for 365 days. Last year it was terrific value. This year there are far better options out there. Unfortunately OVO automatically recharges from your on file credit card without any notice whatsoever. And yes- no refunds on automatic recharges. It is all legal and as per their terms and conditions, but what a sure way to lose trust in the market.

Unusable most of the time and zero support

published

They are with Optus so if Optus has coverage you do, that doesn't mean it will work properly. I've got 3 while we wait for an NBN migration in different areas in NSW and all 3 have the same problem. High latency, up around 3000ms on average before 9am and after 3pm. Evenings are no better after 7pm. I fyou log an issue with them they tell you its yoru device, even if you've tried multipel devices, clearly they dont have enough capacity.

Product is good, but terrible and horrible and terrific customer service people

published

The people doesn't even know how to talk politely and they are always in a mode to invite for a fight. Terrible service or no service. Pray god not to have any issue with the service, once you have the issue only god can help you.. i don't have less than 1 star to give them

Horrible Customer Service and Greedy Company

published

Good product, but extremely poor customer service, forced to move out of it

published

Evert hing is perfect until you get a problem and call the customer service people,The person on the other end of the phone was ridiculously poor with communication. I tried to recharge my ovo mobile using a new credit card, but it didn't work, the person is kept on telling me there is a recharging option on the screen, which was not there. Today i log on to ovo, the recharging option appeared. I don't know how? ( the person I was talking asked me in sarcastic way do you know what a new browser is ? do you know what is a new device is? being an IT processional I think I should know this. ( Do not underestimate people, they call you for a reason)

Customer Service Poor

Good product but rediculous recharge options

published

Love the packages they offer and the data is great however a downfall for this company is the recharge option via credit/debit card plus the extra fee they charge as apart of their T&C they say will apparently be credited back into your account after 10 working days, made a complaint all they said we would love to get your feedback with other recharge options which i advised other options as i also don't have 7eleven in my area either it's rediculous !

Amazing Service!

published

I had a very small issue with the 1st payment taken off my credit card being overcharged. I contacted OVO and they rectified it immediately and couldn't be more helpful. OVO was recommended to me by a friend who has it for her son in high school.... and it is easy to see why. They are amazing.

Bad

published

Great plans and pricing, their customer service, procedures and website are a joke though. Fine if you have no issues (once you are set up anyway), but if you have an issue, there is no fun to be had.

Product review changed the title of my review, therefore product review also only gets 2 stars.

Great mobile broadband at affordable price

published

We live in an area that didn't have NBN and as we didn't have phone connected, we opted for the OVO 150gb monthly plan using a router. It worked well for several months the until we were able to connect to NBN last month. We highly recommend OVO and they have an way to use app.

Really never had an issue

published

Used the 4g data only sim for about a year now and never really had an issue.
The odd occasion the service has been slow but 99% of the time the download/uploads speed have been decent.

Worst company ever

published

Thanks ovo

published

Good reliable coverage, as i travel with work, only a very few places the coverage is poor, but then again there are places my ovo work & others dont. Been with ovo a couple of years & the only thing is that if you do run out of credit you cant recharge on line otherwise it would be 5 stars.

Questions & Answers

John

Johnasked

Why has my speed being slowed down to a ridiculously slow speed the last 3days....And it’s not congestion or Covid as I have my phone on OVO also and it’s speed is still the same.......

Can’t even play Xbox now....I pay $80 a month for 4G 250gb and up until 3 days ago was reasonably happy with it.....

Speed tests are approx 3mbps or less downloads and 12mbps or higher upload which is INSANE

My phone is still doing 30mbps+ or higher with the same upload as my data sim.

Please stop slowing my speed ASAP or I will go elsewhere.....it’s almost like I’ve been slowed down for the EASTER long weekend

Can you check an OVO mobile's message/voicemail from an external source? Like ring in and hear the messages from another phone (not on Ovo), using your PIN?

Thanks for your reply. Does OVO use the Optus phone number 0411 000 321 to ring the OVO mobile's voicemail, or is there a different number?
