 Hyperoptic (Broadband Fixed Line)

I've been with Hyperoptic for about 4 and a half years and until now, they've been fairly decent with minimal outages and resolved within a reasonable timeframe. Though I believe that what really shows a service's worth is how they act when there is a reasonable impact and Hyperoptic have been incredibly bad in that sense.

On the morning of May 20th our internet was completely out. This came at a terrible time for me as I'm in the middle of an important work-related certification online bootcamp. Hyperoptic is saying that they can't send an engineer until May 31st. That's a 12 day outage.

Furthermore, there seems to be a pattern where after an engineer visit, a new outage occurs elsewhere in the building. I reported this to Hyperoptic, but they seem to insist that it's a "isolated incident". It's clearly not isolated as I've confirmed there are other residents with the same issues in the same building that utilize the same patching switch.

Since, I've heard from another resident that there was an engineer on site yesterday to resolve an issue of their neighbour with what sounds like the same issue. Seems like they have a poor scheduling processes in place.

I believe the true measure of a company is how they handle problems, and so far, Hyperoptic hasn't been good.
