    We have a 4G+ Router with a SIM-Card. From time to time we order a replacement SIM-Card, because the speed gets too low. Whenever we get a new SIM-Card the speed is really good for a while. After a while it stops working <1MB/s. We positioned the router in diffrent places all around and also tried external antennas. What could be the issue?

    • @broadbandsavvy
      @broadbandsavvy 4 дні тому

      It sounds like something to do with the router switching the band it's on or connecting to the wrong mast. The next thing we'd try would be factory resetting the router, and possibly changing its 4G settings to make it perform more consistently.

    For me Virgin was fast BUT, once a week for a WHOLE DAY every week the broadband would just STOP WORKING, when you rang customer support they would go through the usual nonsense of turn off the router and back on again and then book an engineer call. Of course it would be working again and the Engineer call was a waste of time. The following week the same thing would happen again and you'd ring them up and go through all their crap for them to book an engineer call. I would say it's NOT a fault at my house but they wouldn't listen. Next day it would be working again. Next week the same thing, it would stop working. I left Virgin and went to SKY, NEVER EVER EVER had a single down time in all the time I have been with SKY. Virgin offered me loads of discounts to stay with them and even 3 months free. I said it's not about the money it's about having a service that worked. I have since found lots of people in the same situation with Virgin. I WOULD SAY AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

    Terrible customer service , extremely poor support failing fttp install , the problem is plusnet are lev 1 if you have a issue they have to elevate it to open reach , but you have no ability to interact or liaise prior to them turning up . Even though I informed plus net of an exchange connection issue , instead of getting the performance ordered after t weeks of constant back and forth they only offered 150 fttp on a new install 1 mile from exchange, I opted to leave , they then intentionally deleted all records making it impossible to transfer , it took 3 months for my new provider to finally resolve the issues , part of which was me giving the Ont connection code so they could even find it at the exchange , I complained to ofcom about my experience. Never will use them ever again it’s a real shame since I was a vdsl 2 sub for 8 years problem free

    Been with CF for 2 years. I am moving out and CF is playing hard ball to accept my notice. My contract in expiring in two weeks. I fail to understand why the customer service is so bad. They do not address issues by emails, insist on calling their customer services. The CS staff is always lost wanting to pass customers around. Never call back when they have promised to. I can see this business disappearing which would be sad. It started with a good service and now is sinking.
