Customer Reviews

ACT fibernet Customer reviews

I prefer ACT fibernet as the video calling is excellent. I have been enjoying uninterrupted services without any buffering on Youtube. For the past year, ACT has given me great service.

ACT Fiber net enables high bandwidth and convenient speed which makes virtual meetings super easy. The prompt customer service response is also a great plus for ACT. I can recommend this service to anyone who is looking for a strong connection.

ACT has helped me take my online classes for college students in a brilliant manner. Our classes go smoothly with no connectivity issues. The voice and video experience are also great.

The plans ACT offers are so thoughtful. I received an additional 100 GB as a kind gesture from the ACT customer support team. They are very helpful and patient too. I have never had any trouble getting assistance from their team.

ACT is a reliable network that provides good offers. They offer good speed and solid connectivity. I have been with them for more than one year and am happy with all their services.

During the lockdown, I could coordinate my entire company’s daily activities online with ACT fibernet on my side. We didn’t face much crisis as business processes functioned as normal. All the team members were virtually connected and we had great access to high-speed internet.

Hathway Broadband Reviews

Though Hathway is very keen on calling until you renew your plan, they do not respond much when you call for complaints in the service. I am losing connectivity in between work and this makes it very hard for me

Pathetic service. The wifi is totally disrupted. Customer service is also not good. I do not get any proper response from them.

The rates are not worth the money being paid. Thinking of changing my internet provider. I cannot rely on them for smooth connectivity. Work calls are getting interrupted too.

I enjoyed Hathway services for the first month. After that, they register your calls but no response. The only times they are active is when renewals are up.

Customer service and speed are not as promised. The connectivity is lost many times. Cannot watch movies or download anything without interruptions.
