    I feel, with airband, we have gone back in time 15 years with internet access! Constantly dropping out, to the point that every time I look at my phone I am pleasantly surprised if I am connected to the WiFi! We pay for Netflix and can’t use it half the time so as well as totally unreliable WiFi we’re wasting money too!

    Airband were fine on installation and are reasonably reliable BUT the minute anything goes wrong, they're hopeless. It always takes days to resolve and the communication is virtually non-existent.
    Lightning took out the airband mast serving my area at about 0300 on Friday - fair enough, that happens. However, over 2 days later and it's still not fixed and there is virtually no communication - what communication there is simply says "unfortunately there has been a delay resolving the issue". This service is only used by people with no alternative and, by definition, that means no mobile signal and probably no landline since that costs a fortune if it can only work as a phone line backup. The airband website says a fault was identified Saturday afternoon - that took nearly 2 days to find. What!? nearly 2 days to find and now at least another day to fix. The reality is airband know they have their customers over a barrel so they don't provide enough support resources and at weekends, it is particularly poor.

    When the fibre service is good, it is very good, but more often than not, the network goes down. Airband run a monopoly in rural areas and don’t lift a finger for the first 5 days. 3rate service from a fourth rate business.

    Airband are not affiliated with the Ofcom compulsory compensation scheme which provides compensation automatically after 2 days.
    Airband have a service level agreement of 5 days: This means that they do nothing to get your broadband working again in a timely manner.
    When your broadband fails for whatever reason customer service do not register your complaint when you call, you have to call again and again and again. When your issue is finally logged, hours have passed (8 in my case from finally getting through to customer services, 16 hours after fault actually occurred) so that effectively increases their SLA time to their advantage.
    The customer services are indifferent and robotic, sticking to a script which will involve sending you copies of their terms and conditions rather than showing any concern or empathy: The very worst kind of response. Then they will ignore you hoping either you or your issue or both will go away.

    For most customers Airband is not a choice, it is the only option so they don't bother trying to do anything over and above the minimum according to their terms and conditions.

    If there was a choice Airband would NOT be a consideration.

    I had broadband installed last week but the network connection went down on Monday. Spent an hour trying get through to support and they sent someone out the same day to fault find. Had to ring up again yesterday to find out what’s happening and was told a cable was missing?????? They also said that they would try and get it working by the weekend. Not impressed!

    We have the 4G broadband, which is OK for much of the time but sometimes hangs up. The engineer who came was excellent and it has improved. We are really keen to get fibre and hope Airband can sort this out as soon as possible.

    Initially a bit of a rocky start with significant packet loss causing it to be unstable.

    However, having contacted the customer service, they were prompt in responding and actioning the next steps to fixing it, as this appeared to be a routing issue. After a couple of 'fixes', I am now wholly satisfied with the 100% uptime and full speeds that I am getting.

    Only one small minor improvement would be a small update from the team when they say they've 'fixed' it, would be to say in broad terms what they fixed, as this might help identify further issues.

    Not an easy or straight forward installation. Every member of the team we had contact with were 'can do' and very professional. In a world where service is not always great, Airband stood out thanks to its people on the ground.

    Moved to Airband as they where able to offer me faster broadband and better service than BT have been able to. Service from Airband has been great since install, yes there have been small outages at time but that's the same with any broadband provider. Speed has been as sold Fibre 150 (150Mbps download with 50Mbps Upload). Airband also kept there promise of refunding me the early exit payment when I cancelled my old BT service. Customer service have been very responsive to any query's I have had about the service, billing etc. very happy with it.....

    What a poor company. Hides behind emails and shocking customer service. Be warned they wont tell you your in a contract but you will be. Its been a long time since of come across a company that is happy to stitch up paying customers. But they still exist and this is one of them companies. Avoid at all costs.

    The engineer was very friendly and efficient. Broadband is fast and working well. ( Day 2 on fibre broadband). As an organisation Airband needs improvement. The people in the office don’t seem to know what the people on the ground are doing. From seeing the fibre being put in the ground right outside our house to being installed took about two years. Now we have it , it’s fantastic.

    We have been customers of Airband for many years now. Their staff and service have been 5 star throughout. We have no complaints about the speed or reliability either, just the occasional bad storm has caused us to be without internet for a short while!

    The Engineer was first rate he turned up on time looked around the house to find a way to install the broadband as my property has the living room at the back of the property and its not easy to get wiring done as it involves going in the loft and dropping through upstairs to the downstairs living room a very awkward job going through two ceilings to get it done. The guy that did my install was called Ryan he was very polite and professional a really nice guy. I finally have full fibre and I'm over the moon with it. I researched Airband and being a new company they are a little bit hard to get hold of sometimes on the phone which is fine by me. Every company has teething issues in the early days that's to be expected. My experience so far has been very positive no complaints whatsoever. My broadband is super quick and seems reliable. Again I have contracts for mobile phones and other things from the big networks and they aren't much better when it comes to getting through quickly. I think Airband will do very well in the future it just takes time. Ryan from Airband in Tiverton was first class I hope his superiors appreciate his attitude and work ethic. Thanks Ryan.
