Vispa have been a godsend for us

Vispa have been a godsend for us. Before they came along, our internet was pathetic and with BT considering any upgrade to fibre (we live in the countryside) was unviable, we were very short of options.

Vispa initially provided an internet connection through beaming the feed from our local pub. It was sometimes tetchy (connection problems were quickly resolved) but it was mainly reliable and was a vast improvement on the BT alternative (getting speeds of 20-30mbps). More recently they have been successful in securing Government funding to install fibre across the estate. They have guided us through the process and we now couldn’t be happier with our 100 mbps internet service.

Overall really pleased.

Had a pretty decent experience with vispa so far. Overall network service has been good. Few days of on off Internet but very few and far between. Speeds have pretty much been as promised. Now been provided with fibre which if it wasn't for vispa we would not have got as unable to get through other ISP's, with current working situation will be a great support.Before vispa I was getting download speeds of 1 mbps now getting approx 100 mbps. Main thing for me has been the service from James, happy to provide support even out of hours when required.

Vispa ..... Not the best service provider!

I pay Vispa £37.50 for just internet service and wouldn't say it was any better than a BT standard line delivering 75Mbs. I have had issues concerning payment and internet connectivity on a regular basis and don't get a signal in my Kitchen as where I did with BT. The issues ive raised have either been my misunderstanding or there has been no fault found when tests have been carried out, my internet connection has on a monthly basis disconnected after a few minutes then after a phone call on a Monday morning works without interruption. I see by the other reviews issues have been answer reasonably but then again all the issues i have raised are of my own making.... apparently!! I have asked not to renew my contract :(

Absolutely shocking

Absolutely shocking. My advice is stay away. I've had issue after issue and the customer service is just as bad. There only seems to be 1 person who you can get through to and her attitude is awful. I cannot wait to the contract ends and be able to get a decent service elsewhere.

Thanks for the feedback Dave.

We are indeed a small company and usually dealing with the same person helps resolve issues much quicker. Obviously in this case it's not helped. You can escalate any problems by following our complaints procedure which can be found on our website.

We had a look at the issues you have raised and although one of them was indeed a fault, we raised it with our suppliers and it has now been confirmed as fixed.

The second issue regarding your VPN connection isn't something that falls within our remit I'm afraid although we did try to assist as much as possible.

Regards,

Vispa

Jade Myers of Vispa was 100% great!

Jade Myers of Vispa was 100% professional, and delivered as promised. My work requires huge connectivity and so far, it's been faultless. Initially, the system was delayed a bit but that was not Vispa's fault, and Jade kept me updated and delivered a great service. Thanks very much for this. Much appreciated.

Not recommended to anyone. Very unproffessional company

Abdolute Rubbish, not recommending to anyone.
Placed an order, 3-4 days no contact, called in to check only to be told that I will be contacted once they heard from BT which does not make sense. You dont know whats happening with the order, you dont know when or if it will be installed, they are no interested in you as a customer, asked to cancel, response was "Ok, I cancel it for you" rather then explaning their process or expect go live time etc..they dont care having or losing a customer, you are just a number for them. I am disgusted.

Hi Jake,

We place the order with Openreach and it can take 24-72 hours for it to be committed and appointed. Once the order is committed, we will update you with an installation date.

Openreach also have a backlog due to covid and unfortunately some orders are taking up to three weeks to go live.

I'm sorry you felt this way, bet of luck with another ISP.

Regards,

Vispa

Overpriced and poor service!

Been with Vispa for many years, joined when they were still quite new. Used to be pretty good but now seem like an overpriced, understaffed outfit. They overcharged us for about 18 months and when i flagged it up they said they could only repay us about 6 months as they didnt have the historical phone call data. I said that was unacceptable so used an average and sent it to them. They argued and then finally agreed the figure but i had to contact the ombudsman before any refund was made. We finally left a few months ago and they tried to charge us for a period that they weren't our provider and sent payment chase emails to the VISPA email address that was closed! Even though BT no longer charge a fee to close down an internet system Vispa still enforce the £38 Cease fee! Total rubbish, dont waste your money. UPDATE - as for the gesture of goodwill, its a bit late ive already paid it!

Dear Andrew,

Many thanks for your comments although this does seem to have been an issue that we resolved with you back in 2017. I note that you remained a customer for a few years thereafter until very recently.

Whilst Openreach axed the cease fee in 2017, LLU operators still charge termination fee's to move between networks. This is why you have automatically been charged upon migrating your line. I can see that our debt management team have been trying to contact you, which is perhaps what has triggered your review.

As a gesture of goodwill, I have removed the charge from your account and wish you all the best with your new ISP.

Regards,

Vispa Management

Just Great

We’ve been with Vispa for nearly 2 years and it’s changed our lives, particularly through lockdown.
Three of us have been able to work remotely from home - something that would have been impossible with the old landline speed of about 1mb..
The backup and commitment to provide an excellent service is second to none.
Right at the start they managed to bounce signals from various households to enable all the neighbours to get connected - we had been looking at a community broadband option that would have cost about £3,000 a household. Vispa set up was free because of the grant.
Thank you Jade and James fit your help and support throughout.

Exceptionally good service

I've been with Vispa for roughly 2 weeks and so far the service has been very good and the Tech Support exceptional. I just reported a routing issue and the agent knew exactly what I was talking about and resolved the issue within a matter of minutes

Vispa have called me.

They came on Thursday, as they said they would. No issue and 40 times faster than BT’s poor service. So far so good. It appears I was a too harsh initially on them and I would recommend their Internet service to anyone who lives rurally and can’t get a decent speed from other ISPs

Old update
James has just called me and explained the account has been set up, the problem with the phone is due to working from home, that’s understandable.
He will try to get it installed in the next week and I will update this review once installed.

Old review
Tried for a week to order their service, the online service gets to the payment page and says
Splynx Error: Login must be unique!
So I have tried to call them multiple times, and all I get is music played down the phone, no queue messages just music.
Frustrating and annoying.

Hi Trevor,

Thanks for amending. As explained on the call, the particular property had already been signed up a few days ago (hence why our system didn't accept a duplicate login/email).

Welcome emails and order updates were sent to the registered email address but as you were signing up a third party, you didn't receive them and was unaware that we had progressed the order. We have now added your email address to the order.

As promised, our engineer will be attending on Thursday to carry out the installation.

Kind Regards,

Vispa

What a fantastic service

What a fantastic service. James and colleagues came along after years of trying to get a decent broadband service in a semi rural location but close to Manchester. After being told not possible by so many they sorted out a service and installed it within 2 weeks of the initial enquiry. And the installation itself was simple, clean and efficient. Could not recommend highly enough. Desperately needed the broadband in time for lock down.

We have been connected to Vispa's…

We have been connected to Vispa's broadband for over a few weeks now. At first I was a little sceptical that wireless broadband would work and if it would be reliable. My experience so fair is that it does what it says on the tin. Very fast and very reliable. Amazing to think it all comes from a little aerial on my roof. Very impressed. Great small company, very friendly staff. Installation chap very helpful and even fixed my roof while he was up there!

Absolutely great service

Absolutely great service, we live in a rural area and had were getting less than 1mb, Openreach had been promising upgrades for literally years, Vispa came along and within days delivered a 100mb service at a great price, no issues at all and a seamless "no damage" install, highly recomended.
