      Status:
      Answered
      I have been without internet that I have paid for on a consistent and seemingly rotating basis over the course of the last several months. Calls to the company for help are met with the typical reset your router etc. I have been understanding, but twice in a row now, my problem was magically fixed within minutes of threatening to end service. Tonight, they told me my service absolutely has zero connection (even though I could verify) and for this reason there was no possible way they were throttling my speeds. On the 10th of January and again on the 5th of February 2024 I have been met with the exact issue of having no internet all day, attempting to resolve with their techs, promised it would be settled after "tower work" was complete only to still have no service. My second complaints of the day each time were met with immediately improved speeds from 5.0 mbps to 90+ mbps. The tech on the phone tonight especially ticked me off when he aluded to the fact I have no idea what I am talking about and there was no way my atennae worked. (If this was the case, why isnt it being fixed, or why am I not notified?) I stream for a living and am legitimately irritated that the tech tried to insult my intelligence. He also refused to provide any info into their so called tests.

      If I could give zero stars I would. Softcom prides themselves on not throttling speeds, yet here we are for the third time on a Wednesday afternoon that my speeds suddenly tank down to **** mbps when I pay for 100. Makes it impossible to work, game or even simply stream Television. It appears we are doing rotating throttling because they can't handle the load. awfully fishy that it always happens on Wednesday afternoon. I have been keeping logs with dates and times and speed information each time there is an issue. Tech was rude on the phone with me last time and insisted that I was wrong. After I called them I suddenly had speeds of 90 after an hour complaining my A** off on the phone, then they wanted to argue that it wasnt possibly true because my antennae "didnt have power" as I am sitting on speed test with them on the phone. My appointment with Unwired cannot come fast enough. At least they guarantee a speed or lower the bill to match.
