When I heard that GloFiber was coming to my town back in early 2022 I was pretty excited!! The thought of moving on from Xfinity altogether was great! Well they was suppose to be available in Dec of 2023 but as luck would have it they was ahead of schedule. I was able to get my service installed last week!
First, let me talk about the initial service of getting the wire ran from the pole to my home. The guy didn't have to call me but he did which allowed me to talk to him about where I wanted it ran to. He was very knowledgeable and polite and after I showed him where I initially wanted it he made a recommendation that I thought was actually better and went with it. Didn't take him long to get the cable ran and hooked up in a box and the box installed on the side of my house.
Second, let me talk about the in home install. The installer arrived right at the start of the 2hr window. He was very polite and knowledgeable and got right to work. He got everything installed and after testing it we found that I was getting slower speeds than expected on my PC but his handheld unit was broken so he couldn't test it coming from the modem. However, he told me once I am able to test it with my laptop from the modem if it isn't to par for what I was paying for to contact customer support. Great installer and got everything done within the 2hr window.
Third, let me talk about customer support. I emailed customer support once I tested the speeds with my laptop and they wasn't at the 1.2gbs up/down. However, I had more things to test so I told them I would test a little more then get back with them and they said, please do. So once I went in and made a few setting things in my router I was able to increase my speeds on my devices to half of what I was paying for and I was able to try different speed test that got me close to 1gb up/down. I emailed support and told them my findings and told them I was satisfied with those speeds. Their response to me was "Well, we are not happy with those findings because you should be getting 1.2 up/down so we will send someone out to your place at your available time "
Last, lets talk about the return of the service technicians and what happen after. So they came back out and after testing my speeds with their device, one that worked, they found I was getting 1245mbs down 1240mbs up. NICE. They also tested my router which was getting 500 down 500 up and said I needed to work on either fixing the router settings or getting a new router if I wanted faster speeds. So I was fine with that and they left. Very polite and very knowledgeable. So far I am happy with the service.
After they left I went in and found a setting on my router that was turned on that "limited" my internet speeds. Once I turned that off I was getting over 1gbs up/950mbs down on almost all my devices. WIN then later that day a GloFiber employee was walking the streets handing out flyers for their service and on their service offered the 1.2gbs service that I ordered just 4 days prior for $15 less a month for a year. I took a picture of that flyer and emailed customer service asking if I can take advantage of that deal and to my surprise I got a response back within 15 minutes saying "Yes we can honor that deal since you just started service with us" WIN WIN!
So although I have only been with GloFiber for a week I have to say the customer service so far has been GREAT, the tech support has been GREAT, and the Internet speeds have been GREAT! Will that change in the future? I hope not but as of now they are doing all the right things for me coming from Xfinity!! Keep it up GLOFIBER and the amount of business you will get from my "Word of Mouth" advertisement will be 100 fold! read more
