Installers arrived on time, were efficient and tidy. They made sure everything was working properly and helped connect our mobiles. to the internet. My only disappointment was having the outside box fitted to the front of the property

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

They contacted my management company for permission. They contacted Sky for disconnection. One week later I’m connected to W.F.
Very helpful customer service nothing too much trouble. And half the pr
ice of Sky.

Your satisfaction is very important to us, and we are committed to ensuring that your service is restored promptly.

Kind regards,

Good morning Navaratnam,

We are sorry you feel we have been rude. There are very few circumstances in which we would disconnect a customer. The most common of these is for persistent and recurring non-payment of bills over an extended period of time. We also ensure that reminders are sent by email and in some instances by phone call to make customers aware that there are outstanding balances.

Customers who comply with the terms and conditions of their contract with us would never be disconnected by us.

Kind Regards

Wightfibre are not longer the company they used to be. I would never use them again.

Wightfibre broadband service has been slow and unreliable despite me paying for 500mbps speeds for the last 2 years. It has prevented me from working from home over this period.
Customer services in relation to my complaint has been very poor.
I felt I was being fobbed off by managers. I was told different things by different people within the company.
I decided to use Wightfibre as I used them many years ago. At this time the customer service was excellent. Unfortunately this is no longer the case. I am so disappointed to have to now go to the Ombudsman to resolve my complaint at a time that I could do without this additional stress. Consumers please be aware!!!

Good morning,

Thank you for your feedback.

As per our previous communications, it was evidenced that over the 2-year period, you were receiving speeds of 500Mbps+ to your equipment internally, most of the time. However, we acknowledge that there were several days (26 to be exact) where the speed dropped below 100Mbps due to the cable between devices operating at half duplex. This issue was promptly addressed and the cable was replaced for you once we were informed. We also identified that throughout this 2 year period, we were not informed of the issue as you had not contacted us. Once you'd raised the concern with us last month, it was promptly addressed.

We have offered a very generous goodwill gesture to compensate for the period during which you were not receiving the full speeds due to the cable issue. Additionally, we noticed that the speed tests you provided were conducted using 4G and not our WightFibre internet service.

Kind Regards,
