    Honestly, I couldn’t be more happy with Hyper Optic. Before I joined them I heard some negative feedback about their service, so I was nervous to join. My previous provider offered great customer service, but the internet was rubbish. I took a chance and moved over to Hyper Optic because of the great deals and super fast speed. I’ve been with them for a year now and just renewed my contract. Their customer service has been great and my internet has never been so fast. Keep it up and you’ve got a customer for life.

    Terrible service. Cancelled installation at last minute. Make empty promises. Full of people who do not care if what they say is true or not. Please be ethical and truthful when you provide a paid for service.

    LIARS - AVOID AT ALL COSTS. If I could give zero stars I would. Twice booked an installation with them, they confirmed they would be able to install it in my flat and told me they had installed it in my neighbours' flat (I have pictures of messages confirming this), engineer arrived and said it couldn't be installed. One of them is lying. Terrible company. AVOID.

    Fast internet but unethical practices. Automatic price hike of nearly 50% at the end of the 12 months with no warming and no possibility of backdating to a usual price even if you renew. Also they don’t offer any more than 12 months so they can do this every year. This practice should be banned and indeed there is new legislation is coming in to make them at least notify us.

    Overall cant complain. however fibre is costly compared with competition.

    Reliable connection that rarely drops (had to reboot router minimal number of times within 12 months).
    Customer services on the 2-3 times I dealt with them were very helpful when signing up and when troubleshooting smart TV connectivity issues. They even set up a different local network for me called TV with different settings to help make the smart TV functions work - turned out the range or reliability is just poor on Samsung smart TV's and needs a wired connection to avoid drops. (nothing to do with hyperoptic router or internet speed - I resolved issue with a powerline adapter)

    However I have just changed providers to Sky following an attractive black Friday deal which is maximized when bundling as many services together. Lets hope Sky relibaility is similar.

    Works fine most of the time. Have occasional connectivity problems. Broadband is down today, they boast a 24 hour chat service, but the waiting time is far too long, so I waited and quit, hoping they'll have it fixed by the morning. Not impressed.

    I am extremely annoyed with my Hyperoptic connection. Then again I have had bad experiences with Virgin, EE, Sky and TalkTalk. However for some reason I believed Hyperoptic would be different.
    I constantly suffer from ridiculously slow internet speeds, often the internet collapses all together. I am consonantly restarting my router. It does not matter if I use the 2.4GHz or 5GHz frequency. If you do complain to them about the 5GHz frequency you will be overwhelmed with excuses about the limited range of 5GHz, but it is the same story with 2.4GHz. I ran countless speed tests on their own website, always with abysmal results, most times the internet was so bad, that I could not run the speed test at all. When confronting Hyperoptic they simply claim they cannot see any issues from their end, despite my ton of proof to the contrary. I was asked to do countless tedious procedures, such as disconnecting any device ever connected, standing next to the router, connecting all devices again and then running speed tests on all of them. I do not want to waste any more of my time, just the back and forth with customer support costs me countless hours. All I am asking for is a reasonably reliable internet connection with reasonable speeds, without having to reset and reconnect router and internet devices daily.

    After having a really bad experience with Hyperoptic service in a previous apartment I swore I would never have anything to do with them again. Unfortunately we have just bought a new apartment where Hyperoptic is the only realistic option because alternatives are super slow. After waiting 2 weeks for an engineer to come I took the morning off work for the appointed time slot and needless to say nobody turned up. No text message to say they were going to be late, no email from Hyperoptic apologising, nothing. I spent two hours on the phone to 3 different people trying to find out where they were. Eventually an engineer turned up two hours late and explained that two engineers were always required in this building and they only sent one. So yet again we are at the receiving end of this company’s utter incompetence. I simply do not know how they are in business. A manager pointed out their customer service award which based on my experience in two different properties is an absolute joke. I would strongly advise having nothing to do with them unless you have absolutely no alternative.
