Periodically is slowed down. By comparison with my overseas experience, so-called Ultra Fast does not even come close to what I have experienced.
Pros
Good after-sales service, and good attention to issues.
Cons
Intermittent speed, and does met my expectations os "Ultra fast".

I was an Actrix customer (until taken over by Voyager) and nominally remain an Actrix customer of 17 years.
Pros
Voyager (Actrix) have continued the excellent high-level customer support available from their Help Desk. Although I have an IT background, I would especially recommend them as an ISP for people who struggle with technology as they are very patient with those who find technology difficult. ...read more
Cons
Chorus own the UHF radio-link to our rural district, and the cabinet. The gear in this cabinet, and backhaul equipment, is old and needs replacing but Chorus aren't willing to do this. Voyager/Actrix help desk have identified the problem, but don't seem especially interested in pursuing this with Chorus on behalf of customers. So we are stuck with an an average speed of ...read more

Worst ISP ever. Buyer beware. They force direct debits on you, they don't keep their plans current with competitors, their website is badly designed, customer support is patchy and you must WRITE to them to end your contract 30 days in advance. I have left them and moved to another ISP yet they still got a free month's worth of payments out of me.
Pros
Speed and reliability isn't bad
Cons
Everything else is a mess

The speed is under 10 at times and means spreadsheets won't open and there is often a delay in getting onto google. Also drop outs occur at the beginning of logging in.
Pros
Inclusion of landline and free 03 calls
Cons
Slow speed, drop outs, customer service which is so much worse than snaps, it predecessor.

Served us at the time, going into a rental without knowing how long we were going to be.
Pros
Flexible, no contract, not fixed to one location in your home
Cons
Quite intermittent, slow to sometimes teerrrrriiiibbblllly slooooooooooooow...
Location of the wireless modem is very important to have good reception.
It feels as if they're wanting to convince you to sign up for a wired connection.

Had to transition from Actrix for my elderly father a process which was a nightmare occuring drip by drip over a period of weeks. Then when my father passed away insisted on charging for a 30 day notice period and sent out a courier envelope with the address label the worng way around....even tried to remove one of those
Pros
Reliable internet which did what it said on the box
Cons
Poor support from what seems to be a very fragmented organisation. Long waiting times when calling

Pros
Was GREAT service with SNAP, now not so great.
Cons
Prices have crept up, service and data plans have crept down.
