DC Access

(96 reviews)

Capitol Hill

I keep forgetting to write a review for DC Access, and I am now finally getting around to it…read more I've been a customer since this past summer when I moved across the street and learned that Verizon Fios was not being offered in my new location. I work online, and so I need to have a reliable connection-- and that's when a friend of mine recommended trying out DC Access. A long time customer of Verizon, I was wary of going with a small, local company. Long story short, I could not be happier. Frankly, I feel like DC Access is better than my previous service with Fios. For one, the internet connection feels much more reliable now than it was before (maybe it has to do with the number of people who are on it? I don't know, but I haven't had -- fingers crossed-- any outages or lapses in quality). The other great part about DC Access is that, since it's a small local company, they are very responsive. I don't have to wait on the phone for ages or swap emails with nameless customer service reps. Anyhow, if DC Access offers coverage in your area, I highly recommend it.

My internet connection went down. One call to DC Access and Katy (extremely competent…read morereceptionist) got me sorted in no time. She had Tony & Darnell at my apartment pronto. Between them they solved the problem (a worn out, ancient, cable, along with a vintage router). Both replaced quickly. DC Access a God send to our community - very affordable and no waiting days for an in-home visit, then staying put at home for half a day waiting for someone to turn up. Thank you DC Access. Maggie Hall, Capitol Hill.

I've been tired of dealing with DSL for a while. So I decided to go with excede as I have had…read moredirect tv for years. The installation was a bit complicated, but Kurt's guys, Joe and Adam, stuck with it and didn't take the easy way out. The next day, a Sunday, a piece on the dish went bad. Excede told me I would have to wait three days for a tech to come out to make the repairs. This is after more than 50 minutes on the phone. I called Kurt, and he drove in from his home - 90 plus minutes each way - to hook me back up to the Internet. I am very grateful for his diligence and integrity in backing up his product. Cheers, Kurt!! You have resorted my faith! Thanks!

I've had exede for almost 2 year and although their service can be lacking, Kurt and his team are…read morepeople I can count on for great, honest and reliable assistance. He answers the phone and is available, and Always, Always seems to have the answers I need, When I need them. He is devoted to his customers and loyal, and his install team does a fast, efficient job too. My first dish with them, Joe installed in ice and know and I know his hands were freezing too! They are good, hard working and really get the job done right! In this business, they truly excel and do care about their customers, something other companies should do, but many don't give us the time of day. It is a relief to be able to call someone who knows and is willing to go that extra distance. They are really an asset and very valuable team and you're lucky to get their service and install!

Wifi has been cutting out several times per day over past week. Contacted tech support and they…read morewere supposed to drop by a modem to replace the one that they said was failing 3 days ago on Saturday so I wouldn't have to wait until after the Monday holiday to get it in the mail. I was told the technician would drop it by. It never came. No contact from them. Call today and was told by robot I would have a 2-hour wait to get through by phone. Frosting on the cake was I got a $30 increase on my bill, after I was told I would get a discount for the lousy modem over the last week. If I haven't had as bad experience experiences with a couple other providers, I would have dropped them long ago.

This is a horrible company. I should have stayed with Verizon. I just signed up with this company…read morein January and it has been an absolute nightmare. I have not been getting the proper service and a technician has visited twice with no improvement on WIFI. It keeps disconnecting or it freezes. I called to discount my service as of March 13th but was told my service will not be disconnected until the next billing cycle which is April 4. I have never any such thing. I was surprised to see that they charge my account for the bill not is not yet due until March 27th only because I just signed up for auto pay when I made my February payment. I was not forewarned. It is exhausting dealing with this terrible company. The biggest regret of my life. BE WARNED !!!! Please don't do business with this company. The package seems attractive but a total failure and a waste of time. Extremely disappointing!!!!

Gigstreem - This is what I've been looking at for two days!!!

Gigstreem

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.

Using Gigstreem has literally prevented me from working from home because the support line has…read moreclosed my tickets without resolving my issues multiple times over the span of 3 weeks. I need to connect to a VPN for my work place, however, the connection is ONLY blocked whenever I am connected to the Gigstreem network (The ISP of my apartment complex). I have detailed the issue and escalated it multiple times to Gigstreem support, however, they have just kept on closing my tickets without resolutions after "escalating to the engineering team". They have been hesitant in hopping on a live call session to see my issue in real time and insisted that they will be "working on the issue after the call". I have been waiting on a resolution for 3 weeks, I even have escalated this issue to my work support and the VPN provider's support who have both confirmed the issue is from Gigstreem. I have confirmed that as well since the connection works when I'm connected to any other non-Gigstreem network. It is really disappointing to be locked into this ISP and their support channel just refuses to even look into this.
