How to cancel Aussie Broadband

Phone cancellation (required)

• The primary account holder must CALL Customer Service on 1300 880 905 to close a service.
• Cancellations require verbal confirmation via a verification code supplied during the call.
• Cancellations cannot be completed via email; the phone call is mandatory for closure.

Other notes and options

• Cancelling through the MyAussie® app (App Store or Google Play) is not supported; users must call to cancel.
• Postal correspondence is available for formal confirmation or disputes: Aussie Broadband, PO Box 3351, Gippsland Mail Centre VIC 3841, Australia.
• Keep a record of the cancellation call time, the name of the agent, and any confirmation or reference number provided.

What happens when you cancel

Service access and stop date

Your service will be disconnected on the cancellation date agreed during the call or on the account's scheduled stop date.

Confirm the exact disconnection date during the phone call to avoid unexpected outages or overlap.

Final billing and equipment

Final billing is calculated on a pro-rata basis: you pay only for days the service was active in the final billing period.

If you have rented or purchased hardware under contract, ask about return procedures and any early termination charges.

Will I get a refund?

Pro-rata refunds and credits

Refunds are given on a pro-rata basis for mid-month cancellations, billing errors, or unused prepaid periods; unused portions may be credited or refunded.

Credits can also apply for lengthy outages in some situations (verified sources indicate credits for outages of 2+ days may be available).

Exceptions and limits

• There is no clear statement from Aussie Broadband of a 14-day no-questions-asked refund policy for their services.
• Early termination fees may apply if a contract term remains; check your specific agreement for any charges.

Aussie Broadband plans and pricing

Overview

Plan names, speeds and pricing are published on Aussie Broadband’s site for Australian customers.

No definitive NZD pricing for 2024/2025 was found in the verified sources; some items (like an AussieRoam eSIM) showed prices in AUD.

Notes on pricing

If you need exact NZD conversions or a New Zealand offer, contact customer service before signup or cancellation.

Expect variability based on plan type, promotions, and currency conversion if billed from Australia.

Your consumer rights in New Zealand

Relevant New Zealand laws

If you are in New Zealand, the Consumer Guarantees Act and Fair Trading Act provide consumer protections for goods and services supplied within NZ.

These laws cover issues such as services being fit for purpose and provided with reasonable care and skill.

Cross-border considerations

Aussie Broadband is an Australian company; cross-border consumer issues can be more complex and may limit direct application of NZ-specific remedies.

If you have a dispute, consider seeking local legal advice or contacting a NZ consumer advice service for guidance.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

Some customers praise smooth provider switches, reliable connections and good customer service responses in specific cases.

Examples include reports of stable speeds after switching and positive comments about value and support.

Common complaints

Negative reviews frequently mention slow or unreliable speeds, outages, and performance below advertised levels.

There are also reports of long hold times, unresolved issues with support, and billing problems including charges after cancellation.

Documentation checklist

Essential items to have ready

• Account number and primary account holder full name.
• Registered phone number and email address on the account.
• Last invoice or billing statement (showing any prepayments).

Optional but helpful documents

• Proof of identity if requested during the call (e.g., driver's licence details).
• Equipment serial numbers and rental agreements for any modems or routers.
• Written records of prior support calls or fault references if you plan to dispute charges.

Common mistakes

Trying to cancel via unsupported channels

Many customers assume email or the MyAussie® app will close an account; Aussie Broadband requires a phone call by the primary account holder.

Attempts to cancel by other means can lead to continued billing or delays in closure.

Not confirming verification or keeping no record

Failing to obtain a confirmation reference, agent name, or disconnection date can make disputes harder to resolve later.

Always note the time of call and any verification code or reference given during the cancellation call.
