In September 2024, Dodo shared fifth (out of 12 providers) with iPrimus, in the ACCC Broadband Performance Report for download speeds during busy hours of the day (7pm–11pm). It delivered maximum speeds 101.1% of the time.
This was Dodo's equal highest placing since having last ranked fifth in the December 2021 report.

I have the broadband unlimited plan with dodo and apple tv connected….do I still turn off the wifi if I’m not watching the apple tv…I’m worried that if I switch off the wifi I will loose all my setting….it took me ages to set up due to dodo blocking normal setting up of apple tv.
Hi Tanjak,
Except for power consumption, there’s no reason to switch your modem off overnight. Even so, switching your modem off will not delete its settings. You would have to perform a factory reset to delete any settings you’ve changed.
Hope that answers your question,
Brodie
Thanks Brodie it did answer my question…..my service provided said I should turn off my modem when not using it.
Do the packages for Fetch TV include Lifestyle and UKTV
Hi there Cheryl,
Fetch TV’s entertainment package included UKTV but not Lifestyle. However, there are a number of channels of a similar vein, for example, Style, Food Network, Nat Geo People and the Travel Channel.
Thanks,
Brodie
I’ve just signed up to dodo fetch tv. In recorded some programs last night. When i went to play them today they wouldn’t work. Just a blank screen. Any ideas?
Hello, Lisa
It looks like many people are having a similar problem. I would recommend contacting Dodo’s customer service team. They’re likely to tell you ti format your Fetch TV box – if I’m correct in assuming you don’t have all that much recorded, this shouldn’t be too much of a worry for you. Alternatively, you could wait for the next firmware update to be released.
Thanks,
Brodie
