If anyone is looking into getting a WIND Mobile HOT SPOT Device - BE MINDFULL - The UN-LIMITED package that they offer is really not what the word in itself means, NO LIMIT - they only give you 10GB - that is what their definition of UN-LIMITED is. 10GB should be called limited as you can breeze through 10GB easy! Please do not be FOOLED and purchase such an expensive device and pay a heavy monthly fee of almost $50.00 per month. You might as well go straight to a service provider like Bell & Rogers.
Here is a list of some more negatives.
- The company is not able to provide you more GB or you cannot purchase another month until your billing cycle - so if you finish the 10GB the first week of the month and your cycle is not until the end of the month - guess what? No INTERNET for you! This corporation is not equipped to #1 adjust your billing cycle & #2 is not equipped with an IT department that can by pass the system and add GB to your account. So basically, too bad. If your using this device for a small business or personal - your screwed!
- Customer Service outsourced in the Philippines and also on Social Media - both will not be able to assist you with the above. They just continue to apologize but cannot provide any further assistance beyond an apology. Taking it up a notch to a Supervisor, also, useless.
- The HOT Spot I was told is a device that can run on multiple units and the connection is great - this is far from the truth, the connection is extremely slow operating on "one" device, forget about operating on multiple ones.
- The device is quite expensive and the monthly rate is pretty high, especially with such a terrible connection.
If you're operating a small business - stick to getting an unlimited internet package from the company that these smaller companies, SUCK from. I just signed up on a NO-Contract un-limited internet straight from Rogers, the cost is $80 per month & with a 1 year contract, it's $70.
Trust me, I would rather pay this amount then waste money every month running around to get minutes for the device, slow internet, horrible customer service, dealing with a Corporation that can't handle simple customer service issues.
WIND Sucks - That's all. - Mina. read more
