I'd recommend Shawn to anyone: his knowledge, efficiency, customer engagement, and outcomes…read moredelivered are outstanding. He's a networking and IT superstar. Costs: If you are upgrading your home network or other capability, and need to buy new/more gear, Shawn doesn't charge a markup on the equipment. In fact, once he's designed your solution he will provide you with links to the exact products required and let you buy them directly from the vendors if desired. Or he'll buy them himself and present you with the receipts. Hourly rate: With the skills Shawn possesses, his hourly rate is substantial. And it should be. However, you can still bring your project in at a very reasonable cost PROVIDED you can be a smart customer. By this I mean you must be clear on the capabilities you want to achieve--or at least be able to listen to Shawn describe what's possible and then make rapid decisions. If instead you want a lot of customer education, Shawn can do that too because he knows an immense amount about IT and can communicate effectively. However, it's a bit like paying for a neurosurgeon to teach you about the types of aspirin available to treat a headache. That doesn't make sense; get a nurse instead! In my case, my wife and I work from the house. My goals were to increase the reliability of our home network. We wanted better maintainability (so when the internet goes down I can rapidly identify the problem and fix it). We wanted better network security. I wanted to add a home security camera because of problems with car prowls, etc. And finally, I wanted to move our networking gear out of our super-hot furnace room to a cooler and cleaner location. This was a lot. Other vendors had previously failed to come up with an affordable solution--or any solution at all. Shawn showed us how to do it for a very reasonable sum. Once we had a plan, I was able to control costs by getting a carpenter friend to open up the wall and pull wires through to the new location for the gear. Shawn also kept costs down by allowing me to provide extra hands as he mounted gear on the wall, connected all of our wireless access points to the new console, etc. These steps all require two people. Shawn was willing to let me help and he even maintained a high level of wit and good-natured ribbing throoughout the long day of work. In sum: great outcome, great satisfaction, great price.

I contacted Alee with HiTek Telecom to get a quote on a complete network job for my home. Not only do my spouse that I work from home, but I also do a lot of photography and video that I transfer back-and-forth on my network and into the cloud. I was tired of poor and drop connections with my consumer level Wi-Fi system. In addition, I wanted a local security camera system that I can control without relying on a cloud service. After receiving a quote and agreeing on the scope of work, I scheduled the installation. Alee came out on time on the date scheduled and we walked through the plan of installation and confirmed what all my needs were. Alee and his team worked through the day and completed the install job in an incredibly professional manner. The installation and the cable runs, and all of the final product was exactly as described. After the install, Alee walked me through downloading all of the software that I needed, how to access and navigate the system, how to navigate and operate the security cameras, and ensure that everything was working properly. To be sure, this was a relatively large install for a residential application. I wanted ethernet drops in every room of my house, a new professional grade network cabinet, in-ceiling WIFi network, and a new suite of security cameras. I couldn't have asked for a better end product. I am quite pleased with the attention to detail of the install and making sure everything was perfect, workmanlike, and care was taken in my home. Alee came back out to adjust a couple of things for me after the fact and install an additional camera. Again, he was on time on the scheduled day. The workmanship was just as good and the communication has been stellar throughout. I truly can't recommend HiTek and Alee enough. Top-notch product and top-notch service.

My Wife and I were there to move her line onto my account and upgrade both of our phones. We were…read moreadvised there would be a fee to swap line and it would be $10. I asked if they would waive the fee since I was literally about to buy new phones. The rep said it would be up to his manager. His manager came over and said no because it would be literally taking money out of his paycheck. Direct quote. Whatever, fine, you can't do it. We moved on. My wife had a prepaid account and we understand there was some difficulty moving it. It was taking some time with the customer service rep over the phone and honestly we were getting frustrated because they weren't being very helpful. It kept diverting her back to the app when they'd send links but they wanted her to go online instead of using the app. Because it was taking some time, I asked the sales rep if the manager could help me while he was helping my wife to save on time. He said "sure,just use the t-life app and it will do everything for you." At this point I was also getting frustrated. I'm about to pay over $2k for new phones just to be told to use the app. That's the best customer service that could be offered. So I said, well if I'm just going to use the app, why'd I come into the store? The rep then got mad and said "What's your problem?" I said my problem is, I'm literally trying to give you money and you're making it harder rather than easier. He said something to the effect of "well you don't have to have a fucking attitude about it" It escalated from there between us yelling at each other and me demanding his manager. The manager came out and his form of de-escalation was to yell "EVERYONE IN THE STORE SHUT THE FUCK UP" which, to be fair, did work... but probably not the best way to handle things. The employee came around the desk and got in my face and was being aggressive and threatening me, wanting to fight. The manager pulled him away and then he got in my wife's face and called her a bitch. The manager had to physically push him into the back room. The manager then said it would best if we just got the fuck out and don't come back. As we were walking to our car, the sales rep came running back out to try and fight us again, threatening us again. He eventually left as did we. I cannot tell you how rattled we felt, being talked to and treated this way. I never imagined upgrading our phones would be an actual dangerous situation. We have been T-Mobile customers for years and have never been shown such disrespect or aggression.
