Once a representative is able to help, usually they'll square you away quickly. They have some neat toys and services to look at. Cutting the cable cord was a win. Why pay more for something that really doesn't interest you? This store has a good location. It's right in the Kamp Washington part of Fairfax City. This gives you access to a lot close by, including fairly major highways and the like. If you need to take care of anything Cox related, here's where you can go.

GiGStreem boasts on its home page:…read more Experience the Most Reliable, Fastest Internet Service on the Market: Guaranteed. That statement could not be farther from the truth. GiGstreem is poser provider of community internet services, that fails to disclose they run on a shared mesh VLAN network that nearly all businesses with a secured VPN will reject for connection to GiGstreem due to inadequate enterprise level connectivity,...and GiGStreem knows this. They have been in business for only several years and they continue to rack up negative reviews. Here on Yelp they have 55 reviews with a 1.7 stars rating. Further, look at BBB listing in the State of New York: https://www.bbb.org/us/ny/new-york/profile/telecommunications/gigstreem-0121-173247/complaints, shows 19 complaints. And the bad reviews and complaints continue. GiGstreem - Convoluted Sign Up The GiGstreem Homepage looks like a basic Shopify template without any appealing creative influence to give the site credibility.  There is no standard  disclosure on residential pricing/button from the menu bar, and no transparency on pricing until after you click through 4-pages, Worse, are the obviously staged testimonial claims about GiGstreen satisfaction: "98% said installation was simple and painless" GiGstreem - Convoluted Sign-in After the convoluted sign-up, you are redirected back to the GiGstreem Homepage, and once again, there is ALSO no sign-in button.  Instead, you have to click the "SIGN UP NOW" button, and then taking you to a GiGstreem account login page.   Just terrible site design that role models the lack of professionalism. GiGstreem - Failed Access Point In my case, I signed up at a California apartment property where GiGstreem advertises as "GiGstream: Internet Simplified". Then I was duped with their offer of first 30-days free--like a trial--only to find that they charge upfront for a second month: bait and switch. Further, the signup was overly complicated to validate the service and the supposed 30-days free billing charge was convoluted and the U.I looked terribly outdated. I then learned, after I "signed-up" for service, that the Ruckus Access Point in my unit was never properly certified for installation-no power (PoE) to the unit and none of the ethernet jacks where GiGstreem purportedly provided hardwire ethernet jacks were connected.  I had to wait days for a technician (from a 3rd-Party) company to provide service and correct the problem. GiGstreem Dashboard - No Control of Devices The GiGstreem-My Wi-Fi Network Dashboard is incapable of providing any type of console control expected/displayed with AT&T and Xfinity.  The GiGstreem Dashboard falsely states you can manage devices, but instead is just a status board of all connected devices, without any option to disconnect any devices leaving you blind to security issues or a secure methodology to deactivate individual device connections, never mind and instant "off" feature for your children, and your supposed private VLAN vulnerable to bad actors. I tolerated GiGstreem's mediocrity for 3-days before I abruptly cancelled what amounted to a bad AirBnB commerical. I'd rather TRUST my customer experience to a provider that has a more qualified solution and customer offering.

I'm forced to have this service at $70 a month at my apartment, more expensive than Spectrum,…read moreservice is not as functional. Wifi doesn't go as far, wifi 5 speeds(slow), no IPv6, no UPnP, double natting with CGNAT, no inbound connections. This is glorified hotel wifi with all the lockdown and no support. They sell this as a "less expensive, faster, and equally functional" service to Spectrum, and so far I get faster on Spectrum, I don't have these technical issues, and support is far better and is actually US based. While this is a money grab by my apartment, if the service delivered by GiGstreem was what they promised at the property meet and greet, I'd still be unwilling yet wouldn't be complaining.

(3) they asked for a death certificate to close my father's account which made sense, but when I brought it to the store, they never asked for it or looked at before closing the account, and (4) the store is unable to accept payments in cash unless you round up to the next dollar because payments are only through a kiosk that doesn't give change. I know, who pays cash anymore, right? But after Cox repeatedly called me about the cancellation of services after I told them the service was for my father who passed away and they still didn't stop the sales calls, I didn't want to provide them with any other means of data collection off me or my family by using a credit card.

I returned the adapter to one of ITalkBB branches, on July 12. I was lucky that I requested a receipt of the returned adapter. I also called ITalkBB customer service again to make sure that my account was settled, and there was nothing else that I had to return to them. On July 28, I received email from ItalkBB, stating that I had not returned the phone adapter, and they were going to charge $99 to my account. I replied to this email with a copy of the receipt. I thought that their mistake would have been corrected, but I was wrong. On August 10, when I checked my balance, I saw that ITalkBB had indeed charged $99 from my credit card.

A young sales associate assisted, he seemed to be in a hurry, told me how his baby mother trapped him (TMI). We didn't even know the transaction was over, he just walked off. They sent the kit for me to trade in my old devices to an address I haven't lived at for YEARS because he didn't even bother to verify my current mailing address. I went back to the store thinking I could just trade in my devices when another sales associate gave me the wrong shipping label, so I am glad that I caught that before mailing my devices. It has been very frustrating just trying to trade in devices and part of me regrets ever switching service to this provider. I think there needs to be more attention to detail from the employees in this store.
