Who are we?


At Reviews.org, we test the products and services that connect your home to your life, so you can answer not only if something is “good” before you buy it, but if it’s good for you.

We’re a team of experts that tell it like it is when it comes to connected home services and products. 

What’s a connected home, you ask? Well . . . it’s your home if you have any of these services: TV (or Streaming!), Internet, a mobile plan, a smart speaker, or even an Xbox or PlayStation console, you’re juggling more than a few connected devices. We want to let you know which devices are best, but also which services will support your ever-growing need for fast and reliable broadband.

How do we answer these questions?


We find that one size rarely fits all. That’s why we dig in and unearth how particular products and services perform under a variety of situations and stress tests.

When reviewing a series of products, we develop bulletproof criteria to compare and test against. Not every product makes the cut. If a device or service doesn’t meet a bare minimum requirement in an important category, is misleading, or, at worst, poses a potential health and safety risk, you won’t see it in our recommendations.

We use first-hand experience where possible to inform our reviews, but we also rely on data provided by trusted consumer advocate sources, such as the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), and our friends over at WhistleOut, to weigh up a service’s value and reliability.

When you see a star-rating on Reviews.org Australia, you can be confident that the result speaks to hours upon hours of research, hands-on experience, and data analysis. We’re almost embarrassed to say, we love a dense spreadsheet almost as much as playing around with the latest and greatest tech.

It’s not all 1s and 0s, though. Some things we write about, like the best movies streaming on Netflix, can’t be solved with an equation. For those categories, we rely on the burning passion and years of experience that our astute editorial team brings to the table.

Meet our experts


Real talk. Our experts are our cheat code. You think we’d ask you to trust our recommendations without having the best tech experts in the industry leading the charge? We didn’t think so, either. Reviews.org experts leverage years of industry expertise to carefully craft, execute, and report on our various stress tests. Check ‘em out.
