I was with Slingshot for about 15 months on a capped plan.
Pros
The broadband worked well up until I exceeded the capped amount considerably, and had more users in my household. Then it went offline, during peak periods. Also loading speed was too slow.
Cons
Slingshot didn't alert me to the excessive amount I had used above the capped allowance. Although not actually obligated to do so, I think that a bill of over $200 for a month should have resulted in a suggestion from them that there was a more suitable plan available. They were quite helpful when I contacted them, but failed to offer a comparable deal to that of a competitor so I changed providers. ...read more

I switched but ended up signing up onto the wrong provider as was going for 4 months half price neon and prezzy card deal anf cause of the orange divider lines thought that was slingshot and hit the wrong provider now stuck with that cause they have a $200 cancelation few
Pros

Good customer service and monthly fee. That's why I decided to stay with Slingshot for my next Fiber broadband.

Slingshot gives us what we need at a price we can afford. They include a landline connection and discounted mobile prepay.
Pros
It is difficult to find out how much data and minutes remain on the mobile plan as there are no dates when either is used. Sometimes all of the data is used and I can't work out when or why.
Cons
Slingshot is very helpful when they finally answer the phone!
