Gigaclear Home Broadband Reviews

Dreadful! Waited 4 years to get connected, then after 10 days of slow and intermittent service, we lost all service completely and with absolutely no contact from Gigaclear. I’ve gone through the rigmarole of contacting them 4 times now (totally 2 hrs on hold) to be told by 3 separate people that they will update me - they haven’t! I’m told that under their contract they have 90 days to resolve the issue which explains their complete lack of urgency to do so. Customer care is non existent and they are full of empty promises. Makes my blood boil to think that this joke of a company are subsidised by us, the tax payer. Eventually I raised a formal complaint only to be told that they ‘can’t’ provide a time frame by which the complaint will be looked into. Today I was told by a gigaclear call handler that ‘if it’s a network issue’ my complaint won’t be looked into at all. When I asked who’s responsible for the network he replied ‘I don’t know’. When I asked who my complaint is with, he replied ‘gigaclear’ - sadly this kind of buckpassing and accountability dodging is only too familiar from private businesses subsided by tax payers… and yet they continue to get away with it. It’s a disgrace!

Shocking service - or lack of it. I was promised connection two weeks ago and it still hasn’t happened, and I haven’t had a call back in response to my complaints, and they offered no temporary solution like a dongle or anything. Truly appalling service. Steer well clear.

Really disappointed , They promised me so much when I signed up with them once I’ve had the install done they really don’t care. I’ve not got the speed. They said I would get the workmanship was terrible very bodged not happy at all.

Totally dissatisfied

Signed up for an 18 month contract. Gigaclear failed to turn up on the agreed installation day, with no notice to myself; so a day off wasted and lost earnings. No apologies from Gigaclear, just kept telling me they need to 'get clarity from the seniors' as to why this happened. I promptly cancelled my order there and then and want nothing to do with this shambolic company. When a communications company can't even do basic communication, that's a huge red flag! Feel like I dodged a bullet.

Abysmal installation service. We were required to stay in all day (they refuse to give smaller time slots) and 3 times their installation team have failed to turn up. On the last 2 occasions no warning was given on the day. This has been going on for 4 months. Gigaclear are over stretched and under resourced with negligible customer service and cannot be relied on.

Gigaclear's service has been an absolute nightmare. After five miserable months of staggering incompetence and repeated installation failures, I'm beyond enraged. Each pathetic attempt by their team lasted mere minutes before they scurried off, always with the same useless excuse—that yet another team was supposedly needed but never showed up.

Their communications, led by "Customer Operations Executive Officer" Owen Pettis, have been a joke. They've shamelessly lied about supposed neighbor interferences on each visit, a claim utterly baseless as I was there for the botched visits (at least 5 IN TOTAL). Owen’s emails dodged all responsibility, never addressing their continuous blunders or owning up to their failures.

Now, they've had the audacity to declare my property "unserviceable" based on these fabricated stories. Gigaclear has demonstrated a profound failure to meet any basic standards of service, paired with a blatant disregard for truth and accountability.

This isn't just poor service; it's a catastrophic failure on every level. Avoid Gigaclear at all costs if you have any regard for your time and mental peace.

I was initially wary of changing to gigaclear having read reviews but decided to do as my neighbour was pleased with installation. Given an install date, received a reminder a couple of days before. Installer rang on the day to confirm. Arrived on time, installed exactly where I asked and explained everything. All seems good at the minute, will see how they perform if I have a problem later

An absolute disgrace of a company. How do you get a company, to which you pay for a service , to fix a phone line when it's not working? The answer is you can't when it's Gigaclear. I'm disabled, have been without a phone which I rely on for 4 days, they keep telling me to re-boot which doesn't work and won't call me back on my mobile which is pay-as-you-go and costing a fortune. I'm distressed and vulnerable and they don't care!

Booked two all day appointments. The second after the first no show.
A no show on each occasion. No message from Gigaclear to give a reason or say they weren'tcoming. Sat in all day. Two whole days of my life wasted waiting for these clowns who haven't the decency to inform you. A big sales team but no customer service or commitment.
Avoid

Can’t rate the broadband as I simply never got an install. Mis sold is the polite way of saying what I’d like to say.
If they can’t supply they should have said so at the start, but instead they made promises and then didn’t deliver, strange as my neighbour has gigaclear and had no issues, but life goes on and I’ve learnt a lesson, I’d advise the first time they fail to install as promised I’d not bother keep trying, just move on.

This appears to be a company that when it works, it’s brilliant but if it does not it terrible. The customer service people make all the right noises and say the right things in a roundabout way to make you believe it’s not them but you. I had to buy a special cable to download the speed I receive from the box. Then switch all TV’s, printers, phone and devices off that may use the internet. And so on, nothing works. I still don’t receive all my emails, can’t connect to server and message not downloaded from the server is the message of the day. Streaming on the TV is patchy and particularly bad with you tube. And they will not fix the problem as they maintain it’s me not them or the router. They made me call the router people as well and check for channels ……. I can’t wait to leave once the contract finishes

If possible, I would rate zero star for the service. The engineer did not show up on the installation day without any reason, also no notification at all. After I chased the customer service 5 times, they suggested a new installation date on end of April, that's insane. Really disappointed, not recommend this broadband service provider.

Expensive, unreliable, unreachable support.

Been trying to get this installed for the last 6 months and every time the same excuse very bad at keeping customers updated about Installation, so finally after 6 months of the same excuse have decided to cancel the whole deal sorry but I would never recommend this company, also my friends who I told about gigaclear are having the same problems

I say speed and reliability is poor - i didnt get that far. I signed up for Fttp one month ago. Aranged a field visit as its an old property. They didnt turn up. Customer ser4vices didnt know why. They never phoned me back. I contacted them a week later. Two days after the visit should have taken place it was cancilled - they didnt know why. They cant give me another one for a month - an install would be a month after that - i cancilled the contract! How much worse could it get!

I ordered Gigackear in May 2023 with an initial installation date of August 8th 2023. Here we are 13th February 2024 with no service. They have cancekked 5 times each time, apart from teh ,ast when they promised the delay is only 8 days. Due tomorrow but when I called yesterday nothing was booked. A complete shower

Ordered the hyperspeed 900 package in July 2023 this was put back three times - fibre to the building was installed end of Jan and the fibre to the modem installed by their contractor early Feb, the engineer said that the fibre is rolled up around the top of the telephone post.. so not connected! and the fibre to the house has been cable tied around the down pipes!! contacted gigaclear but they dont seem bothered so will renew my contract with talktalk next month and they can collect their hardware and make good the works so far. what a waste of their contractors time..

Had a few issues getting connected, but once installed it is very fast and reliable.

Simply the reviews on here are true.
I've had missed appointment's
Promised call backs. Communication is below poor. They promise you the stars on the phone but fail to deliver.
Somehow I was able to raise this to exec level and have their mobile contact details.

Poor workmanship from untrained subcontractor. They lied about the issue with the diode as to the reason for the delay which is later found out.
Nails sticking out of the wall.
Speed is well below advertised .Also damaged my car in their way out.

Avoid if you can. Less stress and better signal somewhere else.
