Before falling for their latest "$100 for our fastest modem ever" scam (which conveniently came out right after I paid $350 for their originally $300 previous fastest moment, consider this. I am typing this entire review using my phone's service while standing 5 feet from my Nomad modem 12 minutes from a major city center because if I was connected to it, it would not work at all.
I live in the mountains just outside of a major city where there are no major internet providers, so I was forced to resort to one of these sort of companies. From the moment I paid them the procedure has been plagued with enough problems I initially thought it was a full blown scam. I paid $20 for expidited 2 day shipping to get my $300 Nomad modem, I got excuses as to why it hadn't arrived for a month, then they canceled my order without refund and increased the modem price to $350.
If I had any other options I would've stopped there, but they said they would offer free bonus services for the first month and take the extra $50 out of my first month payment. They did not take that $50 out and despite repeated calls to and voicemails for their tech support and billing department unanswered for months they started charging me for those "free first month services" half of which I would never even use for months.
Then when the new big deal modem launched and every department other than sales (because they want money) was replaced with an automated response that reffered to an "AI Customer Service Chat Line" that is completely pointless and does not work at all, my service stopped working completely. I eventually learned I just have to call sales during their now slashed in half business hours and request a call back after waiting while being "the next caller in line" for an hour to actually get ahold of anyone.
I've been told twice now the disconnect was their mistake and they would use that $50 I have them saying in writing they would use to discount my first month which they did not and all my many months of overcharges to provide a free month of service, but because sales relies on a mysterious tech support team who is almost never available for this, it took another hour on hold after finally getting the callback.
This is the second time I've been told "if I just reset my modem, it should work fine" now and it's even worse than the first. At least, despite not working, the first time the light turned green, now I don't even gee that. This company, it's products and customer service are an absolute joke and if this isn't fixed soon I have half a mind to sue for every second of mine time which it has utterly wasted for my money on their obscenely overpriced nonsense. read more
