Our Start Network covers the majority of Australian households, however for areas outside of the Start Network area we can supply a service direct from our wholesale partners, however these services come at higher cost.

To ensure we could look after customers living in these areas we created Start Connect and Start Blue Bundles (typically in regional areas). These bundles receive the same great broadband connection and expert support.

We love to hear feedback from our customers, so let us know how we are going by sending us an email to customerservice@startbroadband.com.au and if anything needs to be followed up a Start Support Expert will be in contact.
