If I could score lower than 1 start then I would. Avoid at all costs, this is a terrible company.
Repeated failures by senior management and executives to provide even a basic level of customer service.
• Failure in communications, both internal and external.
• Systemic failures in business processes
• Lack of accountability
• Failure to manage subcontractor teams effectively.
• Failure by senior managers to respond or prioritise clear breaches in agreed customer installation dates.
• Lack of representation of senior managers during office hours
• Failure to deliver on behalf of commitments and grants made by the UK Government to rollout faster broadband across the country.
I suggest that anyone who has had similar experience lodge a formal complaint with OFCOM, write to their local MP in regard to UK Governments obligation to roll out of faster broadband and fibre and continue to post to their own negative experience on social media, so that other potential customers can avoid this incompetent company altogether.

very reliable,no issues HOWEVER
at renewable price went from £17 to £41.50. Phone call (hold for 20 minutes) I was very polite but firm in my point that this was ridiculous and poor business practise (when I signed up I spoke to them about my dears at renewals and was told to call and they would reduce the price close to the offer price- clearly not true and/or process has changed).I got £5.00 off , further complained and went to manager (yeah course you did) and got to £31.50- so still almost double the original price. I dont want to do this , I just want a fair renewal price that is the same for everyone

Very poor customer service, installed over a month ago, engineer said there was an issue with connection but it would be resolved. We still have no connection an when we call we are told they will get back to us followed by an email saying to self activate. Whe we tell them again that there is no connection so cannot self activate they go radio silent. I have now asked to cancel my order as no one is interested in getting our issue resolved and will be writing to ofcom.

I received an email from Gigaclear stating that an engineer would be visiting our home and that we needed to be present to grant them access. However, the engineer never showed up, and we didn't receive any calls or texts. My wife was at home all day, and she even placed a large notice on the front door, indicating that if she didn't answer, she would be in the garden room, along with her contact number and mine. When I contacted Gigaclear,today they claimed that the engineer had come, but no one had opened the door. This is not true as my wife was home the entire day, and our dog would have alerted her to any visitors at the door. What's most astonishing is that I had called Gigaclear the day before to inquire about the reason for the engineer's visit, and even today, no one could provide an explanation what was the appointment for.

Gigaclear dug up our charming village street to lay their cables without prior consultation or support for residents. Blocking in houses, drives and shops, damaging the pavement and all the while creating an inferno of noise. Two weeks on, and their contractors are still blocking the street. Apparently we are stuck with them until the end of January.
Awful Customer Operations Dept. who ignore all requests for information, and all complaints sent to them by email, mail and telephone.
Judging from many of the customer reviews below it sounds like a crap broadband provider anyway.
I certainly won't be using them given their abysmal "customer service".

What an appalling company do not touch, despite several text messages days before advising when they are coming they did not show and made no contact. During the day I contacted 3 times each time being told they will be there. At 5:40 they were contacted again and they advised they were not coming and to rebook
Sorry Gigaclear you have lost another customer - sort your selves out
To top it off the customer services at the end said that the connection hadn’t been done from their box so the engineers won’t have been able to do anything at the address
A disgraceful company

Fast reliable but renewal prices are outrageous sometimes 300% the price of the initial contract which is broadly the same as other providers. Their renewals 'customer service' team work on an aggressive hard-sell basis. They know they have a monopoly in rural areas, but this is not a nice customer-focused company at all and have a growing awful reputation. Avoid Gigaclear if you can.

We signed up with Gigaclear after having 6 months free. In those 6 months we had no issues whatsoever and were happy to sign the contract in May for 18 months. The worse decision we ever made. Since then we have had issues with the Wi-Fi falling out on a daily basis. You phone support but the only thing that actually tell you to do is to reset the router, which has been done practically every day. (Although we did go recently with 2 weeks of uninterrupted Wi-Fi!!!) we made an official complaint when it appears that they are looking at the situation, but not in one email from them so the say what they have done. Today I get an email saying that they “think” (obviously not sure as they have never sent out an engineer) it is the home network that is the problem and this I out of their jurisdiction and there is nothing they can do!! We have not added any new equipment since we started using Gigaclear, so I am unsure how they have come to this conclusion. Obviously they will not release us from the contract and are quit happy for us to pay for a service that they are not supplying. Guess our only option now is to go down the Ombudsman route.

Do not be tempted to switch to Gigaclear. Utter crooks. I am paying for 500mbps and getting totally intermittent speeds often only 10 mbps with regular outages. The speed checker on the Linksys App tells me I am getting > 400mbps when all other speed checkes say < 20! Trading standards or Offcom really need to sort these cow boys out.
Installation was a joke, rude contractors who have scuffed the cable in to the verge leaving it very vulnerable to damage.
Avoid!!
