This article will walk you through how to gather diagnostics for an nbn speed fault. We may ask you to complete these steps when you contact us about a speed issue with your nbn service.

If you get stuck, please call us on 13 22 58 and we'll be happy to help.

 

  1. Testing must be performed on two different devices that are plugged into any of the LAN ports on your modem.
    LAN port example
  2. Make sure that no additional devices are connected to your network while you're running the test. Close any background applications such as file sharing, iCloud, One-drive, Dropbox or operating system updates, or wait until they're complete.
  3. Open your web browser and run a speed test.
  4. Once the test has completed, copy the Result ID number shown above the test results.
  5. In an email to support@iinet.net.au, include the following information:

    Username/Customer ID: (We need either your iiNet internet username or your iiNet Customer ID to identify your account)
    Result link: https://www.speedtest.net/result/<Paste your Result ID number from the speed tests>
    Device: (List the device(s) you used for the speed tests)

  6. You should run at least three tests - they only need to be a few minutes apart. Paste the result link from each test into your email once each test is done.
  7. Once you have all the test results, please email them to support@iinet.net.au and include your iiNet username or Customer ID in the email subject line.
     
    We'll contact you if we need more info.

For more info about suspensions, see Consequences of Restriction, Suspension or Disconnection.

How to unsuspend your iiNet services (Overdue invoices)

  1. If your iiNet invoice isn't paid, we'll send you an email/SMS telling you the earliest date your services will be suspended. If you pay the invoice before that date, your services won't be suspended.
     
  2. If your invoice isn't paid and your iiNet services are suspended, you can Make a payment in Toolbox or call us on 13 22 58.

    Having difficulties making a payment? Please see our Financial Hardship Policy.

  3. Once your payment has cleared, your iiNet services should automatically unsuspend within one business day.

 

How to unsuspend your iiNet services (Security incident)

  1. When a security incident happens, we suspend services ASAP to prevent further abuse or unauthorised access. You'll be notified after your services are suspended, and we'll try to call you using the contact number(s) on your iiNet account.
  2. We'll explain anything you need to do to help secure your account, such as changing account or Wi-Fi passwords, or running antivirus and malware scans.
  3. Once we've spoken to you to verify your identity and made sure that your iiNet account is secure, your iiNet services may be unsuspended.

This article provides information about the consequences if we, the iiNet Group (including iiNet, Westnet, Internode, TransACT, and Adam Internet), exercise our right to restrict, suspend or disconnect one or more of your services for credit or debt management reasons.

We will make several attempts to contact you via email and/or SMS regarding any credit or debt management issues for your services. A notice will be sent to you in advance of any restriction, suspension or disconnection occurring.

If you are experiencing difficulties making this payment, then please see our Financial Hardship Policy for information about your options and how to speak to someone about your circumstances.

Service restrictions are typically related to spend management tools and may occur when you have used 100% or more of your service inclusions, such as data. Restrictions do not necessarily indicate that your services are at risk of suspension or disconnection.

If one or more of your services are restricted, you will not be able to use select features of the services. For example:

  • If you have a Mobile service and have used all of the monthly mobile data included in your plan, the ability to use mobile data will be restricted and you won't be able to access the internet. Other features of the service, such as receiving calls/SMS and making calls/SMS that are part of your plan’s included value, will remain available.
  • If you have a Fetch TV service that has exceeded the monthly spend limit for Video on Demand content, you won’t be able to purchase Video on Demand content such as movies or TV shows. Other features of the service, such as viewing TV channels, will remain available.

You will need to wait until your next billing period begins for the restriction to be removed. Alternatively, you may call us on 13 22 58 to increase your monthly spend limits.

For prepaid mobile services, you may choose to top up your Prepaid Balance in Toolbox to purchase a mobile data block.

 

If one or more of your services are suspended, you will not be able to use those services.

For example, if your suspended service is a fixed or mobile voice service, you won’t be able to make calls (except to emergency 000 services) on your phone or handset or use mobile data. If your suspended service is an internet service, you won’t be able to connect to the internet or use services that require connection to the internet, like VoIP.

You may not purchase additional services while one or more of your services are suspended. While the service is suspended, your ongoing minimum monthly plan charges will still apply (excluding Mobile and 4G/5G Home Broadband services).

 

How can I get my services unsuspended?

  • Mobile and 4G/5G Home Broadband services: You will need to pay the amount to renew your prepaid service before the suspension is removed.
  • Other services: You will need to pay all overdue amounts owing before the suspension is removed.

Restoration of your service can take up to 1 business day after the payment has been received.

Failure to pay after services are suspended may lead to your services being disconnected.

 

Unlike suspension, disconnection of your service is permanent.

  • Disconnection means you won’t be able to use any features of your services, including internet access.
  • Phone services won’t be able to make or receive calls, including emergency 000 calls (except mobiles which can call 000 if your phone has power and you’re within the coverage of any Australian mobile network). 
  • You will need to reapply for new services, which may incur costs. Please note that following disconnection, the plan for your particular service may no longer be available, and your username or phone number may change.
  • Any bundled discount entitlements will also be forfeited if the disconnection causes your account to become ineligible for the bundled discount.
  • We may also require you to immediately stop using and return to us, or allow us to remove, any equipment or material belonging to us.
  • We may delete all of your data from any storage media (you are solely responsible for backing up your data, such as voicemail messages).
  • Mobile and 4G/5G Home Broadband services: You will still have to pay any applicable cancellation fees.
  • Other services: We will send you a final invoice requesting payment of all outstanding charges incurred before disconnection, including any applicable cancellation fees. Failure to pay may affect your ability to reapply for a new service with us.

 

You can make a payment by following the instructions on your invoice or using a credit card to pay via Toolbox. Alternatively, you may call us on 13 22 58.

If you wish to discuss your account, please contact our Support team via email or call 13 22 58 (open 24/7) and we’ll be happy to help.

If you use up all your data, purchasing a Data Pack will remove speed shaping until that additional data has also been used up, or the next billing period begins. Data Packs do not roll over to the next billing month if the data isn't used up.
