Love, love, love Skymesh
My connection is totally reliable even in bad weather which is brilliant especially when you're out in the country. Notifications of scheduled maintenance is supplied well in advance and usually takes place during times suitable to most customers so no complaints on that score. The added bonus data for school holidays is brilliant and the grandkids love being able to use the computer almost as much as they do at home where they have unlimited data (but have to pay for that privilege). I wouldn't change my provider in a hurry unless things change drastically and I'm hoping that that's not the case so until then and if things keep up the way they are you have one happy (Jan) customer. Thanks Skymesh and keep up the excellent work.

Pleased to have this access.
One issue is the data usage comes of my standard peak allowance each month, even though time stamping shows my main days use is most often in the off-peak times.

Great value, great service. Would highly recommend
Connection has always been good, even in really bad weather. Always notified well in advance to any upcoming maintenance. Would love to have unlimited data but in the country so may take a while.

No problem
2 years with Skymesh, no problem I'm very happy. The connection is acceptable. I don't know other suppliers but about Sky mesh, I haven't to be dissatisfied. When the dish moved with the wind, Skymesh fixed it quickly and of course for free.

Decent Service ...
Sky Muster has been reasonably reliable with our current 'UP TO' 25Mbs speed. I have regularly checked speeds and it is usually close to what they claim. However I notice that if you upgrade for a period (even just a month) then wish to downgrade after that period, you will find the plan you were on previously has disappeared and is replaced with a plan costing more. This means you will need to pay more for a comparable speed/data plan. Sky Muster seems to operate as a one way 'upward ratchet' service ... in that there is no going back. I guess this is smart business practice but a cunning arrangement for the unsuspecting.

No Problems
We live in the country and have always had good reliable service. I do not use the computer a great deal so I am satisfied with the plan I am on. I have had to contact Skymesh only a couple of times in 10 years and have always spoken to pleasant, friendly and helpful people.

No Problems
We changed our provider because we were paying to dollar for crap service. So far with Skymuster, we’ve had no problems, change over was seemless. We’re pretty happy so far.

Terrible
everyday the internet drops out sometimes for periods up to 8 hours in which time i also have no phone available, i have a 25mbit plan but barely reach 5mbit at any time of day or night, customer service refuses to help and blame everything on nbn co, try another company if you want what you pay for

Useless Service - 1mbps Speeds v Advertised 25mbps
I currently have an ongoing conversation going with Skymesh about their misleading advertising and their practically useless evening download speeds, which are as low as 1mbps. It’s either their problem or it’s an NBN issue (which I doubt given that my understanding is that the 2 Satellites are undersubscribed) and I intend to take the matter to both the ACCC and the NBN if Skymesh don’t fix the problem fast.

Appallingly slow
My download speeds are now less than I mp . Totally unacceptable and most disappointing given what skymesh maintain are their speeds.
No satisfactory solution is offered and from other reviews none likely.
Next stop the accc.

The positive reviews here are obviously fake.
Take a few minutes to read the positive reviews and then the negatives and make your own mind up. What reviews sound authentic to you? If you have a connection issue Skymesh will simply tell you to perform some redundant tests and then ignore you. QUOTE: "As we have not been contacted by you further in regard to this issue, this ticket is due to be closed in two days." I got that immediately after being promised someone would contact me about our problems.

name. Just to be clear our ticketing system does not operate as you have previously experienced. Our ticket queues are audited prior to closing. The trouble shooting that is required is to help our clients with their connections are mostly based on NBN requirements. We can not escalate to them without the required information. Please send through that direct message and we can go from there. Thanks Adelei have looked at my ticket history and i can see examples of tickets being closed shortly after I was told someone would contact me.

8.24 pm Speed with three speed tests
My evening internet speed is crippling and I have to wonder if SkyMesh are taking on to many customers, and can no longer meet mutual obligations. 25 mps plan. Three speed tests 4.3 mps (Fastcom) this was the one the skymesh consultant referred me to, 2.13 (Wistleout), 1.94mps (Google). These were all taken with a direct connection over a 30 minute period. I am paying $49.00 a month for this, when I signed up for a 25 mps plan. I will be ringing NBN prior to contacting Skymesh again.

Morning Angie,
Thanks for taking the time to write your review. So we can investigate further, would it be possible to confirm your support reference number?... Read more

connection dies daily outside or support hours compounded by poor peak hour speeds
as stated in title, my connection drops almost daily, sometimes up to an hour.
whenever i have contacted technical support, they have pushed the blame to nbn, which very well might be true, but saying this after making me perform the "list" during every call.
peak hour speeds (1500-0100) connection speeds drop to under 8mbps (paying for 25).
if ur going to get nbn, you would be better off forking out for a fibre connection and stay away from fixed wireless.
(also written on mobile as connextion has been down the last 3/4 hour)

Slow service.
The internet connection is horrendously slow. The customer service is also horrendously slow. Turns out there is apparently a faster satellite for cheaper rates than what I have but (like the banks) they don't TELL you these things.

Put your money on the box and go away.
I have been with Skymesh since the NBN was made available in our area, so roughly 18 months. The NBN service was on very rare occasions faster than our ADSL connection it replaced, however the majority of the time it is a lot slower and less stable. That's the NBN and it's flaws. Now on to skymesh: I have requested support on a few occasions now with nothing being resolved. Potential customers should be aware support is very limited with skymesh. Their support staff will ask for you to perform patronising and redundant tests. Once you report o...Read more
n the results of these pointless tests they will go silent on you and close the support ticket. It is apparent to me they have no technical support capability and have no relationship with the NBN staff to problem solve. I did try to be open minded about the problems with the NBN and went with it anyway but it is apparent to me the NBN is complete failure and Skymesh seem happy to hide in the shadows and take your cash.3 comments

I am looking at this for a houseboat on the murray. Can this system be mobile?
1 answer
Hi Stu
Skymesh are a great company to deal with, they will have answers to all your questions
We would not have communication service if it wasn’t for their help
You need a power connection source for the modem and something stable for the dish to be mounted on
Please it’s worth a call to the Skymesh team
Summerasked
Hello We have Skymesh at our rural property, but when I am away schooling the kids I have Belong NBN. I want our skymesh email account as our main one, but I cannot configure as Belong do not have an email service. I can receive skymesh emails, but not send. Can you please help?
3 answers
Hi there,
I have contacted Skymesh at this email address [email protected]
I think that a good option would be to setup an account, say with Gmail etc, which you should be able to access from either NBN service. And you should be able to setup Gmail to check your skymesh email and/or have your skymesh emails forwarded to your gmail account. This also gives you some protection against viruses, spam, etc.
Many thanks. I think that’s the way I’ll have to go.

Hi, We live in a rural area & tether using our mobile phones. The kids do the same with there phones for gaming. This becomes expensive & is quite slow. I have checked & your fixed wireless is available to us, Can you supply an unlimited service fast enough for gaming, downloading & casting etc.......
Cheers

Hi there, we also live in a rural area and are happy with sky mesh for internet. But have had our landline removed and are each paying $10.00 pm for mobiles with Belong plus $5.00 per month for unlimited calls to uk. We have no extra costs, the service is good. But we use our phones for calls only. I can highly recommend both Skymesh and Belong. I hope this helps.
I think your question was meant to be sent to Skymesh?
Skymesh speed will allow streaming, but gaming may be a problem. Check download speeds on each of the Skymesh options.
