    I decided to switch to Hyperoptic after seeing good reviews online. I was very pleased with how easy the process of arranging an installation was.

    The engineer came to install the services two weeks ago, however, they told me that they would need permission from the building management in order to do extra work for the installation. They said that they would sort it out themselves and that this kind of stuff normally takes about a couple of days or so.

    Two weeks forward - still no service and heard absolutely nothing from Hyperoptic. I rang up the support line to ask about the progress. The person on the phone said that they're still trying to chase up the building management. I asked them when was the last time the enquiry was made and they said it was on the day of the installation. Yup, a single email within two weeks time is considered "chasing up" by Hyperoptic.

    I rang up the building management and they told me that the last email they received from Hyperoptic was several months ago. I called Hyperoptic again to check what email address did they try to reach out to for the permission. It turned out they had wrong contact details. I was waiting for two weeks for nothing!!! Who knows how long I would've had to wait if I didn't take this matter into my own hands.

    Everyone in my household is working from home so having an internet connection is an absolute must. We haven't had service for two weeks and no one has bothered to give any updates on the situation. We had to purchase data packages and use our mobile phones for wifi.

    I'm really disappointed in Hyperoptic and I am shocked how incompetent they are in cases like this, especially with so many positive reviews on Trustpilot.

    I waited for a month to get Hyperoptic Wi-Fi and still nothing happened. I needed to spend money over other mobile Wi-Fi while they were trying to understand how to instal their own broadband. I am really upset by the lack of honesty from them. They kept telling me that they would have sort out everything in a couple of days, but that became weeks and then an entire month. Speaking with another broadband company, to which I explained the situation they couldn’t even understand how a company would be so useless and unskilled. Huge delusion, especially because the reviews about them were so great!

    This is a shambles of a company.

    I've been with them for over 5 years now and I've had the same issues for the past two years.

    The Internet keeps on dropping off. Every evening the router lights turn off and it reboots itself, at least twice a night. Terrible when your into a football game and your casting stops!

    They sent out a new router last year and the same problem has been occurring.

    I emailed customer service, a guy emailed me back as THEY DON'T PICK UP THE PHONE UNLESS YOUR A NEW CUSTOMER! To suggest changing the Internet cable from the box to the router to which I send please send one out. They did but its 0.5m! It needs to be 2m to reach the router! They emailed me back saying they want to close down my inquiry to which I suggested not to as the same problem hasn't gone away. I have had to buy my own which I don't mind doing but what a waste of time and effort for something so small. I had to wait over a week for there cable to come through the post.

    I have had no phone service since and I emailed them 3 times to ask them to take alook at the phone line. To this date I have had no telephone and the age old reoccuring Internet dropping.

    A ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING COMPANY WITHOUT ANY DECENT CUSTOMER SERVICE.

    We bought the fastest (and most expensive) available hyperoptic package as we were tired with BT's intermittent service. It is indeed fast - but only as long as you are right next to the box. Stroll a couple of yards down the hall to my bedroom and I get less than 0.5mbps download speed. Honestly! What a terrible box they sold us. Does anyone know a provider that can deliver a service in the whole flat?

    IPTV not working since 2 weeks with fibre connection
    Since last week faster broadband hyperoptic fibre I've not been able to watch anything over IPTV.

    The channels are connecting all the time internet light on



    IPTV used to work fine when I was on normal broadband and the old router, but since last2 weeks nightmare after another!

    Great bandwidth. Unfortunately poor customer service. It’s the second time that they have given us 2 weeks notice for planned maintenance. As someone who has to work from home, their planned maintenance/outage during office hours can’t come at a more inconveniet time.

    We have begged them to either carry out the work during out of office hours or weekends, but they were not willing to change

    I lost service for 9 weeks, their customer service is a total joke! You raise a ticket, wait 3 days being ignored, then get an email saying they are closing the ticket because of inactivity.

    Finally they replied, blaming me which was proven not to be the case. Then they went quiet again

    In the end I withheld payment, and got a series of aggressive emails saying they had suspended a non-existent service. Still no resolution, they make BT look good!

    I can read many bad reviews, mostly from London. I know unsatisfied people are more motivated to write complains and bad reviews. I have used many providers over 30 years and this Hyperoptic connection is certainly the best of all. But the quality may well depend on the location. And fortunately I did have to test their CS.

    you start with an awful installation on your wall, they do not care about your flat. Speed is very variable and forget the marketing published super speed. Customer care does not work, experiencing delays in answering is ordinary. I am moving to another company.
