The long and short is it crashed halfway through an OS update and hasn't worked since. Julian contacted me after a Yelp query - I figured I'd retry and was ready to ship this thing somewhere for repair (again, I tried everything before with no luck). After I explained what was happening, he said, "We'll get you up and running, Tony, don't worry". He heard me out and sent me step-by-step triage and recovery instructions, which worked perfectly. He called about an hour later to check on me, and I was beyond happy he resolved the issue; I didn't have to leave my crib, and it was done within an hour (after letting it sit for years). Everything worked perfectly. I have my computer and electronics handyman for all future work. See my review distribution. I'm very fair and will call out less-than-desirable service. Likewise, when someone earns solid recognition for professionalism and providing the service advertised - they should get a shoutout. Julian, you rock!

I found Bay Area Tech Hero while searching for a network specialist to install Ethernet wired…read morebackhaul in our older (1950s-60s) home that had been renovated but still lacked proper networking. Since they seem to handle a lot of corporate-scale installations, I initially wondered if my project might be too small--but that concern disappeared pretty quickly. The team was already very familiar with Ubiquiti systems and was incredibly patient working with me despite my fairly basic understanding. They walked me through the tradeoffs and ultimately recommended stepping up from mid-range equipment to more professional-grade options. The reasoning was clear, the cost/benefit made sense, and at no point did I feel pressured--just well-advised. The actual Ethernet installation work was top-notch--smurf tubing, recessed (not sticking out!) enclosures, and everything. The level of craftsmanship and attention to detail is honestly beyond what I would normally expect (or even feel comfortable demanding from contractors). They went above and beyond without being asked, and the cable organization is immaculate. Huge thanks to Justin and John for their precision and quality of work, and to Jim and Rodrigo for their thoughtful recommendations on equipment and access point placement. If you're looking for a team that combines technical expertise with professionalism and genuine care, I'd absolutely recommend them.

The tech was able to resolve my persistent issues with my modem, resulting in a satisfactory signal for the last half year. The modem has been replaced, and all aspects of my network are now functional. This is the first time I've had a satisfactory signal in half a year. Everyone in my household is delighted. The internet network has finally been fixed. The proprietor and the technicians were quick to resolve any issues. I have been assured by their work and quality. I can confidently state that this company is a reputable one that will not solicit you for a fee. I will highly recommend this company for future issues and work. Thank you Ari & Frank(tech) for fixing my network.

[Posting on behalf of RF]…read more On October 15, 2025, I went to the Emeryville Xfinity store with an emergency. My dad's iPhone was not working because the SIM card had failed. We needed it fixed because a code is sent to his phone and we needed it to complete some legal tasks that day. Unfortunately, my dad was at the hospital and couldn't be at the store to get the phone fixed. So, I had to do it. The agent at the store, Kayla, was very helpful. She went out of her way to confirm my dad's identity through video chat and verifying his driver's license, which I brought to the store. She fixed the SIM card issue with an eSIM. Because of that, we were able to complete the legal paper work. Kayla was helpful, kind and went out of her way to protect my dad's account. She made a stressful day less stressful.

Zencom was recommended by my security camera company to come in and replace the fiber so I could get my cameras back up and running. Adam came out from Zencom and quickly assessed the situation, spoke the language of my security company and developed a plan to replace the fire damaged cabling. Within a very short time, he obtained the necessary supplies and had the replacement installed in less than a day. More impressively, he came back and spent hours making sure all the cameras were back up, correcting minor issues he came across with my initial installation and left me in a much better situation than I was in even before the fire. I honestly hope to not need Zencom again, but if you need them, I highly recommend Adam and the Zencom team.

I can say without any reservation that Suntech is the best security company in the Bay Area, and…read moreI've consulted with nearly all of them. Mike and his team were absolutely incredible from start to finish while installing my full home NVR system. Suntech stands out above the rest with their unparalleled technical expertise and exceptional value for the quality delivered. When choosing a company for something as important as your family's safety, it's crucial to pick one that really understands the technology inside and out and how to optimally utilize it to secure your home. During my consultations with various security companies, I kept going back to Suntech because I just felt like Mike was the sharpest out of them all. He fully understood my situation and grasped the entire NVR ecosystem more fluently than all the others, and he has an excellent memory too! On top of that, I feel that Mike truly cares about his clients- he's not in the business only to make money, but rather to make a truly positive impact in his clients' lives. The actual installation went smoothly and it feels so much better knowing that my whole house is now covered both inside and out at every angle with 24/7 continuous surveillance. Having that peace of mind is priceless and I'm so thankful to Mike and the Suntech team for it!

So with at Mobile now being one of the best carriers, offering data and texts around the world in 215 countries and Netflix all in the same plan, for the same price as AT&T, it was a no brainer. I met Johnny, my sales guy at this location. He walked me through the process of switching carriers from AT&T, closing that account and activating my new one. It took about 30 minutes total. Super simple. And so far, so good. Can't wait to go to all the other countries and no longer have to worry about picking up a SIM card when landing at the airports.

I had to change my plan first then I was eligible for a $900 trade in, which was pretty great. So it took two days, one to change the plan and then came back the next day when I was eligible. Yasmin, Matt, and Apple took care of me. The worked great at both taking care of me as well as other customers. It's a busy location and they don't take reservations and T-Mobile's back end is sloooow so I had plenty of time to watch them with other folks. Always polite and helpful, even with customers who came in a bit snitty because Tmo did them wrong. So five stars for the location and staff. Two stars for T-Mobile's back end.
