A prime example of great customer service

The service was polite, knowledgeable, easy to understand. I even had to take a phone call halfway through, ask for a call back 5 minutes later, and got the call back when I asked for the callback. Cannot fault this customer service. Would happily deal with this operator again!

Luwanga was very helpful today, but...

Luwanga was very helpful this afternoon, and was finally able to resolve whatever the blockage with my NBN service was.

But I called 7 times over the previous week, I received poor and confused service from Exetel overall. Some Extel tech sent me an SMS telling me the fault was fixed, right on knock-off time last Friday afternoon. (4:59pm, to be exact.) I paid $200 today to buy a new modem/router after Exetel said O would have to wait (at least...) 5 business days for a new unit, and would also have to accept a 24 month lock-in. After the fix today, it's not at all clear that the old modem/router was the problem in the first place.
