All good was with 2 Degree during the past few years. The reason we are changing a supplier is a new bundle package is cheaper than our current package with 2 Degree.

What a shame! A great idea, a disaster in practice: I loved being connected immediately in my new apartment, via the existing set up (open modems, logon via browser) BUT the reliability and speed were not acceptable when married with average to high charges AND poor customer service. I cannot believe what a wasted opportunity this great theoretical business model and poor business practice this represents. Put me in charge and I’ll get it sorted!
Pros
Immediate connection
Cons
Unreliable, Expensive, Poor Support

When Slingshot is working (as paid for), it's great. However there seems to be a constant issue every 4-6 months with disconnections and slow speeds. That in itself is frustrating, but once you have to deal with their 'Technical Support team' you'll soon discover how woefully annoying being a customer with them really is. The 'tech' help consists of them implying that it is your modem at fault almost everytime. Or the jackpoint that it is connected to. Everything but their service is the fault. However, every instance has resulted in the fault being anything but my equipment. Been with Slingshot for too long now. Will be changing to another ISP once we move house. ...read more
Pros
Speeds are great when working.
Cons
Unreliable. Inconsistent. Terribe aftersales support. Customer support is treadful. Phonecalls to lodge an issue is always a 45+ minute affair.

Viju John 7.0
Service have been good. But getting hold of a customer rep requires resilience as you may be on hold upwards of 10 minutes
Pros
Initial setup was easy, upgrade to fibre seemless though we had to initiate the call and request rather than a proactive approach
Cons
Difficult to reach customer service

G. Perry 4.4
very very lame. abusive support staff. NB they do NOT sell static IP addresses, as per their website. All they do is take your $45 and give you a regular IP address from their dynamic address pool! When I brought this to their attention and demanded a refund of said fee they disconnected me ... DUMB.

I am a seasoned / tech-savvy punter, and know that the service they provide is far BELOW typical (elsewhere) and I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS ISP TO ANYONE.
Pros
The main 'pro' appeared to me to be a static IP address for a one off fee ($45). However, it ended up that they just took my money and didn't provide a static address for me. So ... NO PROS!
Cons
They will refuse to sign any support emails or identify themselves. Add to that they won't use my preferred name (surname) in correspondence ... yep ... its that kinda company.
