Poor customer service
One of the most frequent problems of the service reported was the substandard customer service. Customers outlined the appalling lack of communication from Gigaclear.
Customers ringing the Customer Service number reported waiting up to half an hour on the line for someone to answer or had no response to emails. They also reported that once you eventually spoke with an employee, they promised action or a call on a certain day but there would be no action or follow up.
Customers reported waiting days, even weeks for a follow up call or even a response to an email or call. Likewise, when they did receive a response, Gigaclear would confirm a visit but never actually pull through.
Gigaclear Frequent Problems:
Installation
- Another frequent problem described by customers was the promise of installation and connection not being true to the day or even week the customer was guaranteed. One customer reported the beginning of their communication with Gigaclear being lovely and personable but ‘’then the problems begin…. (they’ve) waited for 3 weeks to have an update on a 2nd attempted installation’’.
Customers reported calling the designated installation number after no response from the installation team and ending up being forward to a voicemail with no response.
After installation, you are entirely on your own with no support was another comment outlined.
