I have been very pleased with Tangerine, NBN and Mobile, since changing over from Telstra about two years ago. The Customer service and general provision of services has been without problem (unlike Telstra). I would like to especially thank REM, from Sales for her assistance today. She was charming and very helpful.

just another cowboy nbn provider. a customer for nearly 12 months. the price was increased monthly, when i said i was contemplating on leaving due to the price. Gave me a pathetic speal on how they need to make profit bla bla bla . DO NOT BOTHER WITH TANGERINE and the clever marketing. Do the research for cheaper and better options.

I rang Tangerine for a NBN plan, switching from MORE on a Friday afternoon (3pm). JC from sales was very efficient and easy to talk to. The switch happened at 10.30pm the same day. 5 minutes later I was operating on the Tangerine NBN. I couldn't have asked for an easier transition. From my experience, I can only recommend this service. Thank you JC and Tangerine, Ernst Show reply

Signed up online 3 days ago, received a message the following day notifying me that the service was ready. I plugged in my BYO modem and internet was available straight away. No set up required, very simple. Called Tangerine hotline and the longest wait was around 15 minutes. Internet speed has been consistent at around 25mbps, hasn’t experienced any drop out at this stage. Show reply

Her communication was friendly, professional, and patient throughout the conversation. She answered all my questions in detail and ensured I felt confident in choosing the right plan. The whole process felt smooth and well-guided because of her support.

Thank you, Precious, for your excellent service and for making the setup process simple and stress-free.

Everything was very easy. My Internet is super fast and my mobile phone connects to the Wi-Fi when it would never do it with the Telstra 5G box I always had to use my data so I’m super super happy and the price is so much cheaper than the Telstra plan thank you so much tangerine. I’m so happy with my choice to change and I have been a Telstra customer for a long time, thank you so much very very happy.

Tangerine made switching to them as our broadband provider, including FTTP connection, quick, easy and seamless. It required very little effort or stress on our part even though it took a few weeks for the NBN appointment to happen, which is usual. We are now getting great internet speed, no more dropouts and easy online account management for a much better price. Happy customer so far! Show details ·  1

After a little bit of a rough start, these guys have turned it around completely. They were a little difficult to get into contact with to start, but they were also quick to escalate the situation and even offered to call me. After being connected with a very helpful tech. She was able to get me connected within a 9 minute phone call. Since being connected has been flawless so far. Show details ·  1

I became a Tangerine customer when my previous ISP, Buddy Telco, was acquired by them. While I have no major complaints about the internet service itself, my experience with their customer treatment has been extremely disappointing. I recently discovered that my monthly plan had increased from $99 to $119 for exactly the same service. What made… Read more

this particularly frustrating was that I received no prior notification of the increase. I only became aware of it after reviewing my bill and raising the issue with Tangerine.

To their credit, they agreed to refund the overcharged amount. However, just one week later, I received a notice advising that my plan would officially increase to $119 from 1 July 2026, accompanied by a temporary $5 rebate for six months. This felt less like customer service and more like an attempt to push through a price increase after being caught out.

What concerns me most is the apparent disregard for transparency. Telecommunications providers are expected to provide advance written notice of price increases. Sending a notice on 5 June for a price rise effective 1 July provides only 26 days' notice. Whether intentional or not, this approach does not inspire confidence and falls well short of what I would expect from a company that values its customers.

The whole experience left me with the impression that Tangerine is relying on customers not checking their bills, not understanding their rights, or simply deciding that challenging the increase is not worth the effort. That may be a profitable business strategy, but it is not what I consider honest or customer-focused business practice.

As a result, I have moved to another provider. Unfortunately, this experience reinforces my view that finding an ISP that genuinely prioritises transparency and fair treatment remains surprisingly difficult.

Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Tangerine.

Worst customer service I have ever experienced. My bill has been wrong since the very first day, always charging me more than what was agreed. I've had to contact customer support every single month to fix it, yet the same errors kept happening month after month. The staff are completely unprepared to fix what should be a simple issue. I was… Read more

repeatedly given the run-around, with agents claiming they had updated the system, only for the next bill to come back wrong again.

I tried to cancel today since I’ve already switched to another provider, and I couldn't even get that done via chat. The agent claimed the cancellation was processed and that I would receive a confirmation email. When I told them I hadn't received anything, they simply disconnected the chat. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!! I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. Absolute rubbish!

Have been a long time customer of Tangerine with excellent service in all respects. More recently I applied for NBN fibre connection to my home, a “big shout out” for the consultant Yana I spoke to whom was extremely helpful in the process of getting this all sorted out, truly an asset to Tangerine’s ongoing success. Show reply

 Follow-up  · Installation never went forward, NBN came out twice to our property to inspect the line from kerb to property. The final decision was that unless I gave permission to dig through our bitumen and concrete driveways also our lovely landscaped garden, it was impossible to run the fibre cable. The whole outcome was very disappointing. Once again though I would like to say Tangerine have been exemplary in every way.

 Follow-up  · The setup was good except for the TV connection which was connected directly to the modem but there is no signal now from there to the TV for the internet. The speed is excellent, far superior to the previous set-up and in all other aspects other than the TV,I am very happy with it

I haven't had Internet for nearly 2 months but tangerine didn't believe me so they kept on resolving my unresolved cases. Which ment I had to restart my case from the beginning over and over… Read more

Absolutely horrendous Customer Service. This company is a scam! Please be careful if you’re going with them. I’ve moved home and they are still sending me bill for my previous account that was closed ages ago. I am not even with tangerine anymore. When I call customer service they do not know how to update billing. I was advised to “pay for it”… Read more

and dispute it later. What a joke! People on the phone actually get mad and speak so rudely with you for their incompetence. Half of the time don’t even know what they’re saying. So I decided to go with Telstra atleast they have actual shops around and people who know what they’re doing.

Left because the price jumped up and wasn't worth it when so many others offer better deals. I have paid in advance, I always do. Requested they arrange a refund to my bank account, but they are refusing and saying I have to ask BPAY to give me the money. However, the BPAY payment has already been received and credited by Tangerine, which… Read more

according to the Consumer Affairs and the TIO means its now on Tangering to action. They have my bank details to issue the refund and keep telling me that its BPAYs issue to handle.

Crap service. They close the case you raise as soon as they can as they don't want to talk.

TIO is now handling it but be warned if you have credit, they won't refund.
