Ian Fraser 5.8

Became very intermittent , with constant (and often protracted) drop outs over last two months of 2018 (coincidentally after fibre became available in our street). Didn't have time to contact slingshot support (its never a quick process with any ISP). Eventually quit them in January (the timing was partly driven by the fact we were moving, though we would have quit them anyway).
Also just received unexpectedly hefty final bill from them - which I will query when I can find t ...read more

Pros

Cheap

Cons

Awful reliability

Russell Patton 5.4

Phone problem reported 4 months ago after innumerable calls to Slingshot the problem remains and they keep requesting that I document 4 missed calls during a 24 hour period. Even after I complied twice, they still require a further missed call documentation every time I ring up.

Pros

Cons

The worst support I have ever encounted.

Key for moving was speed and cost

Pros

Value for money

Cons

As noted above moved due to blue for money with speed as main driver

Adric 1.8

Had signed a 2 years contract from Jan 2017 and had never been happy with the spend and reliability of their service. Been talking to the technical helpdesk and did not resolve issue at all. All they did was to ask me to change different channel and try it for 30 mins and still not reliable at all. Also, they have increased the price of my plan from $84.95 to $87.25, due to telecommunication levy, but $84.95 is still being offered to all new customers! They are good at getti ...read more

Pros

Nothing good to say... Go figure.

Cons

After trying for so many months (22 months into the contract), I contacted the retention team and they initially offered me to upgrade my plan to the Giga plan so that they can offer me to get the modem at $99. After I ...read more

Anonomous 1.0

Internet keeps cutting on an off over the last year. Got worse over the last month, to the point it cut off altogether after bad weather. Slingshot support kept booking Chorus techs on days i told them i would be at work. Finally Chorus guy arrived an told us nothing wrong with our lines, but Slingshot modem is stuffed. Some of the support is excellent, but others are crap.

Pros

Yeah right, flamin useless.

Cons

Kept on getting the run around to get them to book a Chorus Tech to come out on a day i would be at home. Had to wait 5 days to get the internet back on.
