    They've missed 4 installation appointment dates so far. No calls, no apologies. Nobody turns up, you call them and they offer you another date a month later. Rinse and repeat. Do yourself a favour and look elsewhere for broadband.

    Gigaclear was installed yesterday, after installation it was apparent that it wasn't working. Contacted customer service twice and nothing has been done and now left without no broadband and internet, which does not help as I work from home. I now have to wait until Monday to see what is going to happen.
    Appalling service and considering returning to Sky.

    Not impressed so far.
    Ordered broadband last week and was told that as the property had been connected before they only had to deactivate the service. I informed them that the external,box was damaged and needed replacing and also relocating nearby. I was told an engineer would be around on Monday. Needless to say no one turned up. Called to find out what was going on only to be told other than my order there was nothing on the system. They would sort it and get back to me. A couple of days later a message on my phone asking if I would like the system to be activated before the engineer called. They seem to have overlooked the fact that the old equipment is damaged. I called again only to find out that nothing has been done, no appointments or bookings made so a week wasted. I now have a date in 2 weeks time for a survey to be done which will come to the conclusion that the external box needs replacing and moving about a meter to one side. After that we can book an installation! No doubt a few more weeks will pass before that is finally carried out. That’s if I don’t cancel the order.

    They made the same mistake twice and learned nothing. They promised me a date at the end of Augest and then prospned becuse they got the install type wrong. We rescheduled for november, and five days before the install they call up asking to pospone again.
    If they are so incapable of getting an install right for a new customer I hate to think what their customer service is like for an existing customer.

    STAY AWAY. WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. They charge you over the top to provide zero service. this is what the customer service adviced on the 5th day of calling them when i get 1.6mbps on a 900 package

    Agent
    An engineer will not be able to help I am afraid, our engineers are not dispatched to a property, unless for installs or if the fibre line is completely offline, I am afraid troubleshooting will have to be done on this I am afraid

    I still cannot work from home sufficiently and my broadband is horrible. I will be cancelling my contract

    I have not even got connected yet, and still the service is terrible. Engineers were supposed to come last week, nobody came, nobody informed me, and still now after almost a week, and after several chat messages and promises of getting called back, I have no idea if they are coming to install or not.
    Likely to cancel my contract before it's even started if service is this lousy from the start. AVOID.

    Installed last Thursday (26th October 2023) so I would say we are on day 5 and already our broadband keeps dropping out. Today it has been down more often than not and when it does decide to come back on it disappears again the moment you try to use it for anything.

    Customer service is useless. Beyond saying we should reboot and reset the router multiple times they don't seem to know anything. That's if you can get through to them at all, which takes a while. Promised return phone calls did not materialise either.

    Cowboys. Avoid. We'll be trying to go back to Vodafone (our provider until now), but Gigaclear have told my husband that we have no cooling off period and will have to buy our way out of the contract!! I can see us complaining to Ofcom and writing to our MP at this rate, and soon.

    Useless. Wish we had never signed up with them.

    Giga gave our Business a presentaion on their broadband. Was asked to sign a letter of intention. What they sent was an 18 month contract. Spoke to the rep and he could not explain and offered no solution. Rather underhand way of doing business in my books

    Gigaclear are without doubt the worst company I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. Very good at signing people up to contracts. Disgraceful Customer Service. I have raised cases three times on their Customer Portal, only for them to be completely deleted without being resolved. Their engineer drilled through my electricity supply and I had to call out an electrician and pay for the repairs. A month later, Gigaclear still haven't compensated me. I have wasted hours trying to get it sorted. Avoid where possible or live to regret believing their claims about customer service....

    Gigaclear .... Online chat useless .... move to Triage who we can't talk to .... who contact the Network team who we can't contact. All because of the new home telephone service 'Grandstream' box. No telephone service for 10 days, no calls in or out! Poor service, virtually no support or contact! AVOID!
