Effective efficient and calm

Engineer arrived on time, explained where and what he needed to get access to and the work he’d be doing . He was polite and personable without being overfamiliar. The job was completed sooner than expected. He carried out the task effectively, leaving me feeling confident and calm with the quality of the work he had done.

A good job professionally done.

The engineer telephoned us before arriving on the day appointed. He offered us a variety of solutions to where the fibre connection could enter the property. Having decided he quietly got on with the job. After the instillation was complete he gave us an explanation of the equipment. A good job professionally done.

Hi There,
Thank you for contacting us via Trustpilot. I'm sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the standard of work carried out outside your property. I understand how frustrating it must be to find the area left untidy, with rubbish remaining on your driveway after the installation was completed. eaving a property clean and tidy following any work is an important part of the service we aim to provide, so it's disappointing to hear that this wasn't your experience. Please accept my apologies for the poor housekeeping and inconvenience caused.^Abir

Installation of fibre

The technician, was pleasent. But when I spoke to him outside he continued to vap. After the installation of fibre was completed the technician did not explain how we set up internet from the dining room (where fibre is installed) to the computer upstairs and the sky connection for the TV in the lounge. I did ask him, but he didn't reply, and left. We are in our seventies so a bit of help would have gone a long way. Very disappointed and angry 😠

Hi Linda,
Thank you for contacting us via Trustpilot. I'm pleased to hear that you found the technician pleasant. However, I'm sorry that he continued vaping while speaking with you and that you were left without the guidance you needed after the installation was completed. I understand how disappointing this must have been, especially as you and your partner are in your seventies and were looking for some help getting your computer and TV connected to the new service. Being left unsure of what to do next after asking for assistance is not the experience we want our customers to have. I would humbly request you to reach out to your service provider as they are best placed to support you with setting up your broadband connection, including connecting devices such as your computer and Sky TV equipment. Please contact them and they will be able to talk you through the setup and provide any assistance required. Please accept my apologies for the lack of guidance and inconvenience caused. ^Abir
