Oh my... Hawaiian Tel…read more.. We moved to a new place, and a technician came yesterday to install the internet. Right after he left, the connection started acting up. After spending about 40 minutes troubleshooting with support, they told us the installation was done incorrectly and that the technician needs to come back. Basically, now we get internet for 10-40 minutes if we're lucky, followed by 5-20 minutes with no connection at all--and there's no way to predict when it will come or go Extra star from my previous review: I also made sure to ask them not to charge me for the transfer/ service since it hasn't actually been provided and they agreed to that, and wait time on the line was only 15 min

Ma Boo Hai Hawaiian…read moreTelcom is going to be the source of so many heart attacks and strokes on this island. You can never get a person from Hawaii. It's always people from the Philippines. Always! It is impossible! We called once to fix our internet. Tele-operators in the Philippines were so useless. Can we speak to someone in Hawaii? No Do you know why they are so late? No Will you be able to send someone today? No What comes after Filipi? No. We asked accounting because sometimes they can forward you to someone who can act if you threaten loss of money... still no. They only go worried about or situation when we threatened to give them a shitty survey review. Installs are quick to act. Repairs can take months... After months of waiting on internet repair. We had enough! So to work around their useless tele-operators. We called to Install... just so we would have a worker come in to the office. We spoke with them. Stated our problem and they fixed it on the spot with a phone call! Hawaiian Telcom should change their name to Filipi NO Telcom.

It was frustrating and a headache! It was highly recommended to make a reservation with the location that you plan to visit. The earliest appointment was for the next day Thursday March 26, 2026 at 5:45pm. I took the 7:00pm appointment and they close at 8:00pm. We walked in and the place was full of people. On the screen showed 32 people on the walk in wait list!! I checked in at 6:45pm for the 7:00pm which is the 15 minutes recommended on the iPad? 6:50pm, we were helped by SAGE a very friendly sales associate? He asked for an I.D and started the process of getting what we needed the replacements of the 2 cable boxes. SAGE talked and worked fast at the same time which made it go by so fast. It was a very nice and comfortable first experience. By 7:10pm and only in 20 minutes we were walking out the door with what we came for. We went home and set it up and it's all good again. Can watch tv again. Lol.

You can tell a lot by a company's practices and spectrum will intentionally keep you on the phone to cancel for at least 10 minutes telling you that it's still processing. That just cant be true for any technological reason. If you can live stream from your phone, the ISP can't need that much time to process a simple disconnect function. Where before I thought I might just live near old infrastructure, I now think this company is intentionally bad. Poor form Spectrum.

Hope this store stays here forever. 10/10.

They…read moretalk a good story but implementation and service is the worst I have experienced in 30 years in business. The call the center is in the Philippines. When you need local help you need to go through layers of "so-called" offsite help. When you need a tech to be onsite especially when doing the cutover. They told us you can do it yourselves. That didn't work and now they are sending a tech over since our phone service still doesn't work when we asked several times for a tech to be onsite. It has taken us over a month from porting to still not having phone service. Their solution is that you have to buy more services which then takes LONGER to implement. I get companies are enamored with saving money with outsourcing, but at the end you end up losing clients with the crappy service. Wake up ServPac. We are trying to help local companies, but you need to step it up!

Be careful before you make a contract with this company. In the terms of agreement it looks like a…read more3 year deal. It's actually written in big letters, but it says 5 years in a smaller letter font in the order sheet. After 4 years in their contract, we had to cut costs during this hard pandemic situation and we are down sizing and wanted to terminate the contract. But they are still asking an early termination fee over $1800. No other communication company recently is asking for a 5 year contract. It's sad... In addition, they raised the monthly fee from $136.07 on the contract to $146.31 without any notice. It is automatic pay from my checking account, so nothing I can do.

I prefer to get my pocket wifi before leaving for my trip so I dont have to worry about it once landing. I usually book online and get a phone confirmation. Pick up is a day before your trip at their Waikiki location. The only hard part is their pick up location, but if you bring a friend with you to wait in the car, it should be fine - or you could grab a bite in the Waikiki shopping plaza since you're already driving there! The wifi itself is easy to use. They explain to you when you pick up, but its all pretty self explanatory. The battery lasted pretty much the whole day if fully charged and is small enough to carry around with you all day without adding extra weight. You can return the wifi when you get back to Hawaii on the departures floor after getting your luggage. Would highly recommend booking for your next Japan trip!

Visions Mobile Hawaii is still my go-to to get pocket WiFi for Japan. We booked another pocket wifi…read morefor our trip to Japan earlier this year and we appreciate how we were able to booked without placing a down payment for a reservation. The pocket WiFi was different from what we used before. It was newer, thinner, and lighter. The only downside was that there's no indication on how much battery is left. You need to scan the QR code sticker on the back of the pocket WiFi and the status will be shown on your phone. It is a little inconvenient and the website to show the status was pretty wonky and in Japanese. Regardless, the WiFi was good. The signal was great when we were visiting major cities such at Tokyo and Osaka. There was an issue with connecting when we first arrived but we reset the WiFi using the paper clip pin provided in the bag. The bag included instructions, paper clip, and charger. Overall, the WiFi signal is not perfect but it is good enough to last your whole trip in Japan without any major issues. It lasted about little over 10 hours on a full charge. The pocket WiFi is convenient and pretty affordable to share among 5 people without having slow data.

They checked through everything I did they said everything looked right. They called in their master tech, he came in with a condescending tone he questioned me about my system and how I wanted the system to run. The master tech unplugged some wires and said the receiver is broke and he can't do anything else about it. They charged me $224 for that. So I was sold a broken receiver for $380 and $224 to confirm it was broken, a $604 dollar loss. They said , "call us when you get a new receiver." I asked, will you install it for what I paid today?
