Poor connection often have to turn the router off and on again to reconnect, Recently bought a laptop but cant connect due to there being another device already attached, not good if your living in a house with a few people.

I have been with slingshot broadband for over 8 years and the Broadband has been consistently good.
I haven't had to use their support service, so I don't know how good it is.
Pros
The price is competitive
The monthly Data rollover is an awesome feature
Internet service is reliable
Speed is about right for the type of Broadband I have.
Cons
None that I know of

Long sob story about loyal customer mistreated.

Technically, my service has been plagued by semi-regular disconnects during peak hours and wildly inaccurate data metering.

I have also been told no VDSL despite being in range of the local exchange, and another flat in the block having it from a separate provider.
Pros
Cheap 12 months
Consistent speeds (though not the fastest)
Fast connection to new place (moved twice)
Cons
Frequent disconnects
Questionable data metering
Non-transparent data billing for overages
Horrible phone support
Customer Account portal didn't work half the time

The speed is very slow. And more than the speed it is the stability which concerns me more.
