When I had a connection issue during a work day, I spoke to a real person within two minutes. They fixed it and followed up the next day. That kind of service does not exist with the big companies. > > — Michael Turner, Work-from-home professional, Wodonga > We rely on a stable connection for everything - video calls, cloud software, card payments. Lightning IP has never let us down. The speeds are consistent and the support team actually knows what they are talking about. > > — Sarah Nguyen, Small business owner, Albury > After scouring posts on FB community pages for ISP recommendations, Lightning IP kept being mentioned as the 'go to'. I decided 'why not support local?', and I am SO glad I did! I was able to switch over my ISP easily online, and access technical support with Daniel the SAME day, pick up a new modem at quite literally an unbeatable price - and I am getting faster internet for the same price I was with our last ISP! > > — Linda Thompson, Home Owner - Albury, NSW > Three kids, two adults, all streaming and gaming at once - and the connection holds up every time. Setting it up was easy and the modem arrived pre-configured.
