The agent was simply amazing

The agent was simply amazing. We were thinking of moving to another slightly cheaper service but Fallon convinced us to stay with a better plan, not as cheap as we were looking for but definitely a better deal in speed. Also she was extremely patient and helpful and guided us through everything. Phenomenal customer service!

I just signed up and WOW!

I just signed up and WOW!! signup to getting up running in less than 10minutes no joke. I was so skeptical but their contact center & IT support were able to hook me up with 500mbps from optus at breath taking speeds. Went from paying $100 a month on 100mbps to 500mbps with $80 or less. Best - I can pause my usage during holiday etc. amazing work team!

Exetel’s Rushed Activation and Poor Customer Support: A Frustrating Start

I had a very disappointing experience as a new customer with Exetel. Without asking when I wanted to start my service, they activated it immediately after I signed up, causing an overlap and double charges from both Exetel and my previous provider. When I reached out for help, their response was dismissive. They simply said they aim to activate services as quickly as possible and offered a vague apology, placing the responsibility on me to deal with my former provider. This lack of coordination and accountability shows a clear disregard for the customer experience.

Hi Chao,

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience. Activating your service without coordination and leaving you to manage the overlap is understandably frustrating, and we apologise if our response came across as dismissive.

Please send us a direct message with your service number and details so we can review your case properly and see how we can make this right.

Cheers,
Exetel Team.
