    I signed up using the business section of the website, was given a price of £24 a month and £29 installation for my property.

    On installation day the service couldn’t be connected due to missing cables (the engineer was excellent and lovely and did his best to get things sorted but needed to refer to another team to install some extra cables).

    I received a phone call a few days later to inform me that they’d given the wrong price and would not be honouring the price we agreed, they now wanted £60 a month and £100 set up fee for a slower 100mg service! I said absolutely not and after chatting with their supervisor the caller said the best they could offer would be £27 a month and £50 set up for the slower service, and tried to manipulate me into accepting this by insisting it was a “good will gesture”.

    I’ve cancelled and will go with a company that doesn’t use such dishonest, manipulative and shady practices as to demand a huge price hike when you’ve already agreed a price and started the installation process with them. Shameful Hyperoptic!

    Hyperoptic has completely spoiled my day. They are supposed to install today for the booking i made 2 weeks ago.. but last minute engineer called and said even though he install, there wont be service up and running till end of September..

    Highly unreliable service.. if you know that you cant provide a service what is the point in giving fake assurances. I need to spend extra money to get some dongle and use to manage my work.

    Completely spoiled my day and ruined with your unreliable service.

    I bought a pay and go service of 500MB for one year.I informed the company I have moved out of the flat before the termination date of the one year service.But they ridiculously claimed that I have to pay them one more month fee with a higher price.What a ridiculous provider it is!

    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.

    suggest you all to avoid Hyperoptic business broadband.
    I quote the sale manager : "I GOT BIGGER FISH TO FRY".
    If you're a small business, apparently you're not worth the time for Hyperoptic, I have dealt with many suppliers, never had single customer manager say something like to me. The ironic part is Richard reached us in the first place, we did't beg him to take our money.

    My site was listed as ready for installation so I booked an appointment for a Tuesday morning. The engineer arrived, told me the site want actually ready yet and left. I phoned hypertopic who assured me the site would be ready for installation by the following Monday and so booked me another appointment. This time the engineer came and left without informing me and it was up to me yet again to call up to see what is going on. I'm now told that they don't know when the site will be ready.

    Additionally, the customer service is terrible. Be prepared to wait for 20 minutes on hold only to get through to someone who has to then put you back on hold whilst they put you through to the team who can handle your question. This time however you won't get through to anyone, instead you will be put through to their automated answerphone service after which the call will promptly disconnect.

    They lie about their outages. I have reported outages and they just delay and delay on the phone until the service comes back up and then claim there is no outage to report.

    Avoid this company.

    The internet drops out all of the time, you speak to customer service who say the speed is fine. It does look fine when you use speedchecker etc. However when you need a constant stream (gaming), it drops down to 0-1 up and download speeds, only for a few seconds but enough to either disconnect or frustrate you.

    I am suprised they are getting away with advertising the speeds they do.

    Have to wait 3 and a half weeks for installation within my apartment. Be aware: when it is installed, the cables will all be exposed (looking awful) unless you pay extra for them to be hidden.

    In my view, I think they sucker the managing agents of buildings into installing their service. Apartment owners are then trapped because Hyperoptic then have the monopoly and you're stuck with their terrible service.

    In my opinion: useless. Avoid.

    If there is 0 I would award it!!! Sooooo slow… the upload is around 500-800 Kbps which makes opening websites and video conferencing a nightmare!!!! Even on the chipset package you’ll expect a proper online experience. My mobile internet is better..... don’t let me start on the coverage- we have internet only in the room the router is and then the connection is keep on dropping off. Working from home is almost impossible!

    I would highly recommend that you -*avoid*- this company.

    1) I phoned up in July 2017 to book an installation. One was scheduled for two weeks later.

    2) The day before installation, I received a confirmation text in the morning. In the evening I received a phone call saying that my installation had been cancelled with no reason given.

    3) I phoned up a few days later to ask what the issue was. Apparently there was a dispute between Hyperoptic and the Building Management.

    4) A few weeks later the dispute has been resolved and I am asked to rebook the installation. This was scheduled for three weeks later (as no earlier slot was available).

    5) Saturday 2nd September 2017: I was told that the engineer would phone 30 minutes before arriving to confirm the appointment. This did not happen, but at least he turned up.

    6) The engineer could not turn on the internet because the building management offices were closed (as it was Saturday). Hyperoptic know that the offices are closed on Saturdays because they do installations all the time in my building. Why did they book the installation for a Saturday then?

    The engineer said he would phone me back later that day to rearrange.

    7) No phone call back. I call Hyperoptic on Sunday - they say they will phone me back.

    8) No phone call back. I call Hyperoptic again on Wednesday - they rearrange the engineer to come back on Thursday. I confirm that I will not be in the apartment - Hyperoptic say this is fine.

    9) On Thursday I receive two answer phone messages asking if I am in the apartment. After four long phone calls to different people at Hyperoptic it turns out I do need to be in the apartment. An engineer is scheduled for Friday.

    At this point I accept that I may never have internet and that Hyperopic has no communication between departments.

    10) On Friday, the engineer is meant to come between 9 and 12. At 12 I ring up Hyperoptic asking where the engineer is - they say he will be there in 30 minutes.

    At 1pm, I phone up again. They say he will be there soon.

    At 1.20pm I receive a phone call saying that the engineer is on his way.

    At 1.40pm I receive a phone call saying the engineer is lost.

    At 2.20pm the engineer arrives. An apology for the lateness would have been nice at this point.

    At 2.26 I am told that the original installation did not work and it will have to be re-done. I am so bored of Hyperoptic by this point.

    The only available slot is in 7 days' time.

    All I want is some internet.

    First it took 2 months to get an installation booked as they changed their mind about 5 times whether or not they could install in our area. Once it was booked they did a no show, with no warning or notification why. After chasing up we had to book another appointment for a month later ( they had no earlier slots). 3 weeks later I called to double check as we hadn’t received an email and they said there is no installation booked, despite them booking it over the phone. Completely useless incompetent company, I am
    Actually wondering if this company exists or is it a massive scam??? 3 months without wifi and counting. Off the roof data bills with our phone usage. Reported to ofcom.

    I suppose Hyperoptic may provide great service, but I never managed to get past the equipment installation phase. After a three week wait, an engineer came in to instal the equipment. He failed to complete the job on the day and said that Hyperoptic would send someone within two days. A two day delay did not seem not ideal, but was quite acceptable. However, when I called Hyperoptic the next day to enquire about the appointment to complete the installation, I was told that the next available slot was in two weeks. So, effectively, Hyperoptic put me at the end of the queue. Even if my experience is an exception, it still shows the poor quality of customer services at Hyperoptic.

    Don't touch them with a barge pole.if I could give 0 stars I would. Worked ok for the 1st few weeks then nothing, All it does is buffer. Called them up and they asked ethernet or wifi? Said wifi, oh just connect ethernet and it'll be fine. No it's not, she then said it's because the router is to far away from TV??? You kidding me on you placed the router, her response we place it beside the front door? That's your problem then get it moved, no their policy is it goes beside the front door??
    Then told I needed a booster cable, not their job to provide so cost me £26 and guess what - didn't make a bit of difference.
    I'm now paying for a service that DOESN'T work. Wish I'd researched these cowboys before I got them. Worked during cooking of period then as soon as this is over and your stuck, it stops working. do not touch this company. Pay that wee bit extra to someone who can provide a service.

    Most incompetent service I have ever seen! 3 weeks and 3 scheduled "engineers" and the problem is still not fixed. Horrible customer service and stupid inefficient installation team will never use this service and highly recommend others to STAY AWAY!

    I've go 100 mps but it is hardly 17 mps.
    the router is pretty weak, both in range and speed.
    Speed frequently drops. It is temperamental with some websites.
    and customer service is basically there to justify the bad service, taking advantages of what you don't know and misunderstandings.
    Highly NOT recommended.

    It shows that a lot of these reviews on here are fake. Their service is POOR, POOR, POOR. Don't use.

    Hyperoptic installed it, went fine, they arrived on time. Since then the connection has been horrendous. I've challenged them on this and they told me to upgrade. This will solve all of the problems and guess what, it didn't.

    In subsequent conversations they were patronising and condescending telling me that walls slow down the connection. From what I know, everywhere has a wall. Then I was told if something blocks it like a wall you can expect really terrible wifi. This is exactly where their engineer installed it, by a wall.

    They then said they would do some things to increase the speed, they actually made it worse. Their support team then blamed me, even though everything is all in their hands and said there was nothing else to do, even after they now charge me more and forced me to mail them back an old router which didn't work.

    POOR, POOR, POOR.

    ***Day 6 without a working internet connection***

    I signed up to Hyperoptic on the 14/08. The internet connection randomly stopped working on 24/08 - in the middle of the work day.

    I then called Hyperoptic and they advised an engineer is not able to come out to fix the issue until the 08/09 - a full 16 calendar days later.

    16 calendar days without internet is unacceptable - especially for someone WFH! After Multiple calls, emails and complaints to Hyperoptic, I have not received any urgency from Hyperoptic’s end to resolve the issue!

    I am extremely disappointed with this level of service I am receiving from Hyperoptic!

    I now have to spend additional time, money and effort to organise alternative access to the internet while I wait for Hyperoptic to respond. A working internet connection is the minimum standard I expect from an INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER - and Hyperoptic are not able to even provide that.

    I have been waiting for a router to be delivered to me for over 2 weeks now.
    I was told that the router was returned by Royal Mail twice, without anyone knocking on my door because I have been home the whole time.

    When I called last week I was told by a customer service agent that an engineer was going to deliver it to my house on Monday, 17 Aug. This didn't happen.
    I called again on the 17th, and an agent told me that they were going to check what happened with the engineer & delivery, and I haven't received any feedback on this.

    I called again on the 18th to check whats happening, the agent I spoke to told me that it's not possible for an engineer to make deliveries and this can only go through royal mail.
    I'm very annoyed at this point because I've been in desperate need of the router since I need internet to do my work with all this working from home.
    I don't understand why I would be promised that an engineer was going to deliver if that's not something that the entity does.

    I even offered to fetch my router from wherever the company is ordering from, because I know with my situation I cannot keep waiting for all this back and forth.

    Can someone make sure that I receive my router as a matter of yesterday, and can agents share information with each other so I wont have to narrate this story every time I call.

    I have lost all confidence in all this royal mail story because I specifically asked to fetch the router myself, I dont know why this is an issue.

    I cannot keep waiting more weeks for this

    Ordered on 10th of April yet still hasn’t been installed over 2months later. Complaints procedure is horrendous, requests for it to be escalated have just been ignored for last 4 weeks. Been without internet since old provider Vodafone deal expired on May 10th, was assured after first failure to install in April it would be done on 11th May yet nobody showed up or contacted me to cancel. Since then I’ve just been told by complaints they are looking into it, reminded them of their code of practice for complaints and not had any response.

    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.

    My internet has been down for 29 hours and it is still not fixed! I have lost a day of work and now on day 2 of lost work, what is going on?!? As well as no internet, I have no phone as it is a VOIP phone, and no TV too. When I call to complain to a manager they don’t have any available, offer no compensation or any alternatives for people working from home. Very poor.

    Firstly, we have heard great things about HyperOptic hence why we chose this when we moved to our new property. We purchased our package on the 21/12/2017 for an appointment a week later. I waited in the property all afternoon on my day off and no one turned up.
    When it got to 5pm I contacted HyperOptic as I hadn’t heard from anyone. When I got through I was told we did not have an appointment and it had been a mistake that we had been allowed to book this online.

    The person I spoke to at HyperOptic re booked us in for 8th January 2018. This is 18 days later than we were hoping therefore we have now had to purchase 1 month of BT Wifi for £39 as we require internet for work.
    Due to work commitments we are now having to pay a relative to take a day off work to wait in our flat for the installation. So this whole experience has cost us £100 and hyperoptic have offered us £10 compensation!

    Quite Diabolical, Liars & Dodgy. One stare is too much for this Rubbish company.
    NEVER USE THIS COMPANY..
    NEVER USE THIS COMPANY..
    They’re the worst internet service provider I have experienced since 2005. NEVER go with them or you’ll have a bitter regret like me.
    Their RUBBISH services goes out without warnings. So If you work from home, you should prepare for unexpected losses with this irresponsible farce company
    On November 2022, Suddenly suspended the service and the liars claim it was my bank account's fault to make the monthly payment!! I called them and they fixed the problem. Therefore It was not me or my bank account but their end's fault. On Monday morning 23rd January outage service again. Half an hour later, they sent sms to say it was something wrong with their garbage connection. The CS is useless, like talking machine, they do not know what was wrong. NO internet for 4-5 days until Friday 27th afternoon.

    Who believes that you are in GB and the Internet outages for several days for several times without knowing the reasons.
    This is an insult to the reputation of the country.

    The coverage is another good Rubbish. VERY POOR coverage inside one bedroom flat, VERY POOR signal & VERY slow.
    If I leave right now, I have to pay the fees for this mess.
    I wouldn't hesitate to leave when the contract expired, but I switched again to my old provider Sky.

    Without doubt the worst company I have ever had to deal with (I'm 68 BTW). No warning on works when the internet drops so no internet, no phone, and no mobile (my signal comes through the router). Repetitive replies to emails. Been with them for 4 years and wish I had never bothered. Have just renewed contract, against my better judgement. They have taken off my free UK calls but are still charging me the same price per month. I am now on my 4th email to them but to no avail. As somebody else here mentioned, all the customer services staff I have dealt with have Eastern European names. Any company that hires almost exclusively eastern Europeans are obviously trying to do everything on the cheap.
    When I first started with Hyperoptic I had to send and receive over 40 emails just to get it up and running with a working phone. They even messed up my desire to keep my old BT number.
    Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!

    Company took months to install cables to the property... Then they decided to install to the front and back of property and engineers were completely confused on what was going on and why..
    Then once installation was agreed, the internet signal was never turned on, a month later of saying no engineers (yet plenty of vans parked outside and engineers about) still no internet.

    The engineers who turned up for each section of the installation also had no clue as to what the previous engineers were doing.

    The entire service is a joke, the customer service department is a joke and hides it's accountability behind stating the engineers are not available..

    what's worse is that it's almost been 10 years since Hyperoptic approached me in my previous property to come and install...and they still have not done any installation work to bring their service to that street. Ofcom need to ban this company outright.

    Very bad service, I have new contract with them starting on 05 Jan. 2022 and installation should be on 17 Jan. 2022, unfortunately today is 28 Jan and no installation yet, I called many times but they don't know when they will come, as they said they need two engineers with long ladder and they have shortage and sometimes they said need a long cable, before I made a contract with them I asked them if they supply my building with no problems they answer everything is good and we can handle it within one hour but now 12 days waiting for installation and I have to wait more.
    I think it is a good sign for me to cancel my contract with them and search for another supplier.
    My advice for Hyperoptic company, stop advertising cause you can't handle this kind of business, you are wasting our time and pushing us to be nervous for nothing worth.

    I moved into a new build in August, Hyperoptic had made a huge song and dance about how good their service was and that it would be available any day now.

    At the end of August there was still no service available, but they kept saying it was only a week away, at the end of September they were still saying it was only a week away. Now in mid-October they have changed the service availability to "It won't be available this year, we expect it to go live between March and June 2020."

    So instead I've gone with BT Ultrafast (300Mbps), I signed up on Tuesday, the service went live today (Friday). Other providers were available as well, pretty much all apart from Virgin unfortunately (not a cabled area). So BT have managed in two days what Hyperoptic are unable to manage in three months and appear to need another nine months to do.

    Rubbish service. I moved into a flat that already had the router and presumably it was a quick get started pack. None of this happened. Router not connecting, several phone calls to check what I had already checked. When I had an engineer coming he only phoned once- I had popped out of the flat and only missed him. When I called him back he was rude and dismissive. Unacceptable. Contract cancelled. Worst service to date having tried different providers.

    Be warned people if you are thinking to choose Hyperoptic as your new Internet/Broadband service provider!
    I was with them for 3 months at my old address, now since recently moving, they've said they can't supply my new address. So they have said they will charge me an extortionate £400 exit/cancellation fee! Obviously this is insane and unaffordable.
    I have asked around now at most other providers of broadband e.g. Virgin, Sky, BT and they don't charge you an exit fee if they can't supply your new address.
    I feel this is totally unfair and they won't even come to a compromise with me, ignoring my emails.
    I will take this review down however if they will come to some kind of compromise with me.

    Absolutely shocking service.
    Do not recommend.
    Ive had people coming out to my property to set me up, yet nothing is documented on the other side so they wont let me internet go live. No one gets back in touch or leaves you waiting without resolving anything.
    Asked to speak to a manager but refused to let me speak to one, refused to give their names when wanting to know who i am talking to.
    They are wasting peoples time, no communication from anyone and not even trying to resolve anything.

    As of 26th - still no internet.
    Called to cancel due to the time wasting provider that doesnt care about customers but want to take their money.
    Ive had no internet since been with them, they have sent me a bill.
    Today i called to cancel die to been a joke and they told me i will still have to pay a months worth of my wifi, even though theres been no internet in the property since signing up to hyperoptic.

    One joke of a company if they can even call themselves that. Cant provide a service yet they still demand money.

    Also you can never get through to a manager, Why is that?

    Worst customer experience ever! I moved to a new apartment, booked installation works and was given a timeline of 1 week. Then the company said they need to do some works, I was being sent updates that it was delayed by one week, then another one. Now it is one month without Internet at my place and they say they are not sure when installation can be completed. Ridiculous!

    Really bad experience. Line drops constantly, forget downloading big files. Infantile customer service. I expalined that 10 other people in Airpoint building in bristol where on facebook group complaining about the same issues when all they could think of to say was to turn my computer on and off again. Complete cretins. Do not use.

    Contacted Hyperoptic on 7th of May to order installation of Hyperoptic fibre service to my sons flat. We were given an installation date of 18th of May which seemed an eternity to a teenager without broadband but as we felt it was worth the wait we accepted.
    The Engineer turned up on the afternoon of the 18th and proceded to install the Hyperoptic fibre box. Once the installation inside the flat was complete, the Engineer announced that he could not activate the installation as there was no free port on the switch. On investigation it was clear that the previous visit by the same Engineer had determined that there was no space on the Switch - something that was confirmed by the factors who manage the property.
    My son called Hyperoptic who said they would give him a date for the switch upgrade and service activation on the following Monday (the 21st). Despite several calls (we are now at the 24th of May) Hyperoptic are unable to say when the service will be upgraded.
    Service is awful and the attitude of the staff on the service desk is the kind of world weary drone that gives the impression that they are heartily sick of hearing complaints.
    Do not use Hyperoptic.

    Hyperoptic cliam to be the fastest broadband. Iam paying for 1g, but was only receiving about 70mbs. When I complained I was told they cannot guarantee the speed over wifi and I have to hard wire everything, phones, tablets, laptops etc. How silly was this or I would have to hover over the router. When I told them VIRGIN and Community Fibre assures better speeds, I was told other broadband providers are disingenuous in their advertising. The customer services has a lot to be desired. I would not touch this company, unless of course you want a headache, or hardwire all your devices.
