    I cannot contact google fiber from phone nor can I do it from my google fiber box (I used to be able to restart my service from the fiber box) and no internet connection. I tried restarting the main box 3 times now and if I try and change my channel I get a no service pop up for that channel, and when I try A different channel I get the same answer. Google fiber is going down hill. I had some employees tell me that a service tech can come to my house, fix the problem and give me credit, THE CREDIT PART IS A LIE! or a stupid answer from a untrained representative of the company.

    I am very happy with my Google Fiber & WiFi! My instance of outage was not their fault, as the city repaved my street (very well done, thank you SA) and the trenching that Google did at the install was disturbed and had to be redone. I love Google's WiFi App - very useful! Also, the only other time that I had an issue of significant time, was when there was an update on their network. I called in as my network was down for about 5 hrs. They walked me through some tests and concluded that it had to be a network issue and in a few hours, it was back up. Unfortunately, operator error occurred (me), and I rewired the ethernet jacks in a pattern not recommended - gigaswitch and other wired ethernet peripheries before their wifi hub. They sent a technician to my house to verify speeds and check the system and all was well - problem solved!

    They did change their rates/plans recently, but look around, for this speed and quality of service Google Fiber/WiFi is a great option at a great price! Have you dealt with other internet or cable services over the years? Be realistic, complaining people, stuff happens, and a company that is as committed to keeping their customers happy with great products & prices, as Google is, is Golden in my view!

    I have reported to Google Fiber that my services speeds are significantly below the purchased standards for which I have paid. I have signed up for Fiber 1000 plan with "Up to 1000 Mbps upload & download speeds." My current download speed is 9.13Mbps and the upload 333.35Mbps. I notified Google Fiber customer service of this ongoing matter on 1 December 2019 via online chat. The response was a paltry sorry with absolutely no suggestions for resolving this matter.

    This is just a consumer area that Google should've stayed out of. If I could read their mind(s) I'd wager that they wish they never got into this business.

    1. The actual internet service is poor. Because of their brand and reputation, people though it would be good. But it isn't. It may be gigabit speed from the source, through the fiber, and into the house. But inside the home, it is standard wireless technology and speeds are not any faster than other providers. Sometimes the speed is actually very slow.

    2. The cable TV services is standard corporate cable ripoff plans. It is inexpensive for a very basic package. Would you like HBO? You can only get HBO if you add 12 HBO channels that you don't need or want (like Spanish-language HBO). Oh, you'd like to watch local sports? You need the 'Sports' package - 100 channels you don't want to get just one channel that you do want. Want 1 specific cable news channel? Add the 'News' Package - 100 more channels. This is why people cut the cord - Cable Sucks. This is of course not endemic to Google Fiber TV - this is all Cable (criminal) providers. But still, Google framed themselves as 'different' from the other companies and they are not.

    3. Their support is very average. Nothing good.

    Google Fiber went out at my residence. After 15 minutes of waiting I called customer service and they eventually restored the service. For my inconvenience and lack of the service I pay for, customer service offered to prorate my bill for the 15 minutes my service was out. Seriously? Keep your chump change. I'll just switch to Comcast, the lesser of two evils.

    Friendly but not so helpful. I signed up for Google Fiber as soon as it became available in my neighborhood with an installation date set for September 13th. The tech showed up a little later than the 10 am scheduled time but it’s ok. It’s normal. After changing out the wall mounts to their fiber input, the tech stated that we didn’t have a strong enough light reading and we could not set up until someone came out to work outside on our line. He packed up the router and equipment and assured us that either he or someone else would contact us later that day to let us know they were on the way back to install our internet equipment. Well, that never happened.

    When I called back at 5 pm I was told that our ticket that was created, was marked as complete, and that no one else had been scheduled to install our services. When he looked deeper into our file, the rep said that our reading was still too low and that he was completely unsure how this even happened at all! He offered a $50 credit on our account and scheduled us for a new appointment. The earliest appointment was 8 am September 17th though. So September 17th comes along. 8 o’clock. 9 o’clock. 10 o’clock..nothing. So we call again. No appointment had been scheduled!

    I get off work that evening and call myself to get more information. Apparently our issue outside had not been resolved. It had been marked as ok. The advice offered to me by the rep was that I should have kept my old services on until the new ones were up and running. But this is after my walk inputs were REPLACED by Google Fibers inputs! So it’s not even possible to use the old service!

    So..here I am on the 20th with a new appointment scheduled for the 24th just waiting. Yes I’m on a list to have services installed if an appointment time becomes available BUT the issue outside has still not been addressed! So if someone DOES show up nothing can be done! All this and I get a $50 credit. I am beyond frustrated with this company. I need strong service because of the type of work we do from home but is it all really worth it? Im not sure I’ll ever find out. Everyone is nice when I call but I need more. I need results and I need them soon. Unhappy and not even a customer yet.

    So very frustrated!! Previous homeowner had Google Fiber. We don’t use it. So we have a relatively low wire from our house, through our yard, that we want them to remove & we will remove their box from the brick on our house. However, Mandy, the Google Fiber supervisor that I spoke with, said they don't remove anything. Anyone have ideas on how to make Google Fiber behave or how to get the wire removed from the phone pole so we can disconnect the box at our house? Boy, this shows me that we will NEVER NEVER NEVER subscribe to their services. So how do we get that low-hanging wire removed???

I have been told many different stories by GF c/s, one being my money would be back in my account between Aug 13-20, 2019. Now I am being told that it will be "around" Sept 15, 2019.

They are the only company I know of that takes that long to get your money back. Worst of all, when I called in to talk to them about this, they acted like I was the problem.

    What happen to Customer Service? Because of the Google Fiber Zona Rosa Store’s error, it has caused me hours of my time, lots of frustration and raised my bill! 6/1/19. On June 1st my son went to the Google Fiber Store at Zona Rosa to exchange my remote that wasn’t working. After waiting a long time because the store was really busy, my son called to say he had just finished at the Google Store and was heading to his next stop. Shortly after that I received an email stating my Google Fiber TV and internet had been cancelled. I called my son to see if he knew what was going on. He stated the store was really busy and he bet the employee forgot to close out my account screen. So, I immediately called Google Fiber to find out what was going on.

    I had to open a new account, which amounted to resending copies of my driver’s license and of my utility bill. They also could not use my email because it was linked to the cancelled account, so we used my son’s. I was advised to call back in a week and I could change it back to my email. I had to fill out a number of papers they emailed to me that I had to print, complete, scan and resend to them.

    All this took about 2 ½ hours and they offered me $25 for my inconvenience. 2 !/2 hours of my time is worth more than $25 and plus they acted like they were doing me a favor by giving me this credit. My son was with me and he asked to speak to a supervisor and she eventually gave us credit for a month but that was after 3 hours on the phone with Google Fiber. He also ask that we receive something letting us know how this error occurred, not who did it, and what was being done to prevent it from happening again. We also wanted to make sure my personal information had not been compromised.

    Note: I also lost all recorded shows I had not watch, plus all the shows I had set up to record. 6/17/19. I called and spent another 2 hours and 15 minutes on the phone with Google Fiber. I was told on June 1st that the email could be changed back to mine after a week. It has been more than a week and now I’m told it can’t be changed until July 13th.

    At this time my channel 50 wasn’t working so I asked if there was a problem. They had me pulling different cords on different TV’s, which was hard on me since I am a BK amputee. The agent tried other things and then said they would have to set up a service call. After a few minutes he came back and said, sorry they are aware of the problem and Google is working on it. So, I wasted my time with all the unplugging of cords.

    My son received in his email the rate they were charging me for my google TV and internet now. Guess what? They were charging me $20 more than before their error. I was advised they couldn’t fix it now, but they are working on it. Someone would call me when it was done. I also inquired about the results of the investigation of why my account was cancelled and when we would receive a response. We were advised that they did not have a follow up yet they were waiting on a response from the supervisor we talked to on June 21st.

    7/18/19. I called again to change email from my son’s back to my email, which was done. I received a bill, which they corrected $15 but it was still $5 higher than before Google Fiber’s error. I never received a call as I was advised on 6/17 advising me the rate had been corrected. I was told to call back after 8/3/19 to see if they could adjust the bill for that $5. 8/3/19. I had to go over the whole story once again. Still no update on why the error happened. I was advised the $5 would be corrected next month but she gave me a $5 credit to cover this bill. I was also advised someone would call me when the correction was made. I’ve heard that before!

    8/7/19. Shocker, I received a call from Google Fiber advising me they could not correct the error they made and that my bill would be $5 a month more than it was before they made this error. As usual they were pleased to give me a $25 credit for my inconvenience. I was not pleased and ask to speak to a supervisor. After waiting for some time, I was told there was not a supervisor available, they would have someone call me back. I received a call back from a supervisor that said they have gone as high as they can, but they could not put my bill to the amount it was before their error. I asked to speak to her boss, and she said he was in administration and either works behind a desk or from home and he did not take calls. I ask for an email address and was told I could make a complaint on their website. I cannot tell you how frustrated I am at this point. Come on Google Fiber—this is your error why should I be punished for it?

    Nearly two years with fiber, speed was generally decent with slow breakouts, but I moved to a city without fiber. My issue with them is the billing system, it is a right joke. How is it ok to charge past your cancellation date? If this company is suppose to be so tech shouldn't they have this sorted out? The company has a billing cycle that restarts on the 1st but the customer is the 13th.... How does that make sense? I turned in my equipment on the 3rd, so only used about half my billed month, yet they continued to charge me for the next full month. Now it will take a month PLUS a week processing time until I can get reimbursed. This is not ok for a business to conduct themself.

    They double booked my payment and then said, "Sorry we can’t issue a refund!" They said, "It will take so long to get a refund. Your next bill will be due so you might as well pay your next bill with the $319 we double booked." They took $638 from my bank account which was double what I owed. I’ve filed complaints with the Attorney General of CA, the Better Business Bureau of CA and Ripoff Report. I am also going to contact the KS Governor’s office. When they refused to refund my money I said, "Okay I’ll just cancel everything" and they said “It will still take you forever to get your money back”. Thugs and nothing more!

    Because they double booked my payment it caused my bank account to be overdrawn which led to my phone bill being returned and I incurred all kinds of overdraft fees! I hope they go out of business. I wonder how many other people they’ve done this to? Also the idiot they sent to install it hooked something up to my electrical box outside that caused an annoying cycle hum. I called the number on the card that he left and it’s like they don’t even exist. No one ever came or returned my call. Oh I almost forgot that when I asked them to come and remove their crap from my house they said that I am not allowed to remove anything. It has to stay in and on the house! ARE THEY CRAZY?

    We have subscribed to Google in Overland Park, KS since it became available about two years ago. Several friends had Google and said they were satisfied. We have had several occasions when the TVs were inoperable due to some problem with Google. We still could get Netflix and play BluRays, but no commercial channels and thus no news.

    Today, we had issues with the TVs and called Google. After spending an hour and a half unplugging and plugging in various boxes and pressing a reset on the main Google box, the gentleman told me he would have to escalate the problem to the engineering dept. and that someone would be in touch with me on May 20. That essentially means no TV service for six days, assuming the engineering dept. can fix the problem. If it can't, who knows when they will schedule a technician to come out. I've learned from past experience with Google that it almost takes an act of God for them to send a technician out.

    Each time we have had problems with Google, my wife says change to a different provider. Unfortunately, when I go online, I find that Google has a slightly better rating than the other providers. Moreover, if you do want to switch and keep your phone number, it takes as long to switch as it does for Google to finally remedy the problem.

    My experience with Google Fiber has been a train wreck start to finish and left me with nothing but anger and resentment (and damaged property). Firstly, upon installation the technician drilled an extra hole in my wall and did absolutely nothing with it just left. I brought this up at the storefront location when picking up my box and was supposed to receive credit for the damage and never received anything. I forgot about it for a while due to being behind an entertainment stand until I was moving out of the property.

    I started doing some speed tests and had only been getting 10-12 MBPS. Unfortunately, at this time I was getting close to leaving that property so canceling the service was more important than spending hours trying to troubleshoot and get it fixed. I terminated my service over the phone 3/5 and asked for a partial refund for the poor service speed. I was informed that I could not get a refund because I had not “complained enough.” The agent I canceled with informed me that the billing cycle was the 13th to the 13th so he would put my cancelation date down for the 13th and I would not receive any additional charges after the 3/13 bill date. I then received an email stating my account would be charged $70 on 4/13 for the coming month of charges.

    I quickly called to get this resolved and spent over an hour on the phone with the technician to get this resolved and ensure I wasn’t charged for services I had not been using and would continue not to use. They would not cancel the entire month only after the date I called because the previous rep stated 4/13 which still doesn’t explain why they would charge me an entire month in advance. I asked to listen to the call as well due to the rep stating on the previous call that I would not be charged any further and they would not let me; I then asked for a copy of the call so I could review and again was denied.

    I asked the rep why they can review a call and use that to bill me without letting me review it as well or listen in and he stated, “that is where we are at.” (Super helpful) So I now have a hole in my wall, have been overcharged for services that have been received, and are being charged for services I am not using when they were communicated to me previously that I would not be. I personally will never use Google Fiber again and will make sure that all the tenants at my rental properties know of my horrible experience as well. Good job Google on your poor customer service losing you multiple customers in one fell swoop.

I asked for a supervisor and spoke with RYAN who refused his last name and said even though I didn’t authorize the $176.33 payment I billed for the next month in advance so therefore it was owed and refused to give me a refund.

    It took Google over three months to fix the problem where my TV DVR would not record or even change channels some days as well my internet was hitting 25 Mbps instead of the 1,000 Mbps I was paying for. They never called me back at all. I would call at least twice a week and when they said they would try to do something even sending someone out. They never called me back even when they were setting some appointments. I did all the unplugging that the Google handbook tells the reps to do. It didn’t work the first 3 times and it didn’t work the last two times. The internet also was slower and erratic. I want a complete refund for the entire time my Google was not working. I thought I was sure that Google didn’t want me as a customer so I have an appointment for Monday March 4, 2019 to hook up cable. I might or might not hook it up.

    The first two men that came out just hooked up the new network box and saw what was happening. They left since they just couldn’t fix it. This has caused me not to see many shows and missing parts of more shows. This problem also made my TV remote take 2 or more minutes to respond for me. If I wanted to change channels from 4 to 5 it would take a very long time. Sometimes it just didn’t want to do anything so I turned off my TV by unplugging it. It didn’t record any new shows. The last man came out on 02-27-2019 and he had brains. Google must have hired him away from AT&T since they train their servicemen unlike Google. Before he plugged in the new network box he took his time looking at everything connected to Google and after four months he finally fixed the problem that none of the people before him including the three tech guys.

    The problem was that the box can only save 1000 future recordings and I had 1000. After we deleted several the TV and internet worked great. This 1000 limit is mentioned nowhere in any Google books, not even the repairman’s books. How absolutely ignorant are the people at Google. I was always told they were the smartest of the smart but all the people connected with this problem except the last one couldn’t even handle digging ditches for a living. The world will know about this. You need to get your ship in shape. Google has never been as good as its competitors but I liked the internet speed when it is as advertised. I want a complete refund forthwith for the entire period my Google was not working appropriately.

    Since our contractual agreement is I pay an excessive rate to receive TV and Internet and for over three or more months Google didn’t come close to their agreement. I have read lots of small claims court decisions and this isn’t a blackout for a couple days or something small not working. This is a horrible mistake that should have never happened but it did very long time. Therefore, I am completely confident that I will win any court case pertaining to this Google event. STAY WITH CABLE, Google Fiber is at the bottom of the customer and technical service of any provider.

    I bought Google Fiber service, but it was nowhere near that fast. At the entry point to the house, the fastest I ever saw was 450 mbps. The service guy said that was perfect, because 1000 Mbps means 500 uploading + 500 downloading. No it doesn’t! Then, performance completely degraded when transmitting wirelessly through the house. By the time the signal made it to the front room 55 feet away, I was getting 45 Mbps - on a good day! 45 < 1000. I bought three Google routers for $300 and got that speed all the way up to 120, which is slower than I was getting from Time Warner/Spectrum. False advertising. On Fridays, though, my TV just buffers. I have spent hours with their service reps and this is the best they can do.

    Signed up for gig speeds November 3rd. Noticed Xboxes were really slow on upstream/downstream and ping (1100 Ms). Called customer service for assistance with port forwarding. They acknowledged I need port forwarding and then told me they can't do that for residential customers. *That final phrase was a harbinger of future facts/deflection of service.*

    After several weeks we finally demanded a tech come out and bring a new network box and to set up the Xbox. He did as requested, except we were still seeing slow speeds. Then I order a Linksys third party gaming router designed for well over gigabit speeds. And got into the UI to tune it for Xbox gaming. That's when it hits me. I need IPv6 address and prefix. No problem I figured, as at Comcast they set mine up first day they came out to set up my network.

    Turns out, residential customers do not get to use ipv6 for their needs. Even though ipv6 isn't exactly new tech. It's what Xbox gaming is based around. These were or should have been facts of setup that Google should know and advertise. I cannot recommend Google for gamers. It's not compatible with Xbox specifically for optimized gaming.

    I had both the free 5 mbps and the 1 gbps versions. The 1 gbps version is not really a 1 gbps as it's up to and rarely will you be connected to a server that will do that speed. Since I didn't see the benefit I went to the free version. It quickly became obvious that laggy connections were common, so I went back to the 1 gbps and noticed the same. The free is not really 100% free since Google makes deals with cities, it's likely to be hidden in your utilities bill. In mine it's the telecom charge. I asked and finally they said it was Google Fiber, unoptional to pay it. Meaning that I am forced to pay for it. Customer service was great at first but went downhill, to the point where they had to get supervisory approval to send someone out to check my connection after having issues related to the router. I have to say I was excited about Google Fiber but quickly it became a disappointment.

    When I first moved to an area where Google Fiber was, I was excited. I purchased the $50/100 mbps/sec. It was great at first. But in the past 6 months is has dropped off a LOT. Aside from the wifi router taking forever to connect to ANY and EVERY device, the connection itself would say it was full bars, but the actual performance was more like one bar. I'm a gamer, so this was a huge disappointment. If they can’t get it fixed soon, I will be changing service to a different provider.

    Honestly this is the fastest internet I've ever had at the cheapest price. The technician came in and was professional. He also cleaned up my cable that was hanging out of window that Spectrum wouldn't fix. To the reviews about the service area and the emails regarding their equipment. Those emails are sent out automatically from a computer so you don't get charged for the equipment. They aren't malicious, they could not send them and charge you later. Also, they cannot help the areas they don't cover yet. They are expanding but it takes a lot of time. I would recommend Google Fiber over anyone and I've had them all. This has been THE ONLY ONE TO DELIVER THE SPEED THEY PROMISE, and at the cheapest price available. I downloaded an entire game off steam in 3 minutes.

    Google Fiber is the worst when it comes to customer service, billing and internet services. Every day a few times a day the storage box blackouts out and TV and internet goes down. Way too many issues to say here but the main one is that they will go in your account and charge a card that is not set up as primary or backup. They will tell that they do not change it but they do. I took screenshots before and after that showed a particular card not set as primary or backup but then charged $180 on the next billing and all of a sudden it showed it as "primary."

    I work from home often as the director of a nonprofit and depend on reliable Internet experience. I came home yesterday to discover our internet was not working. We tried all of the quick fixes and we were informed the soonest a tech could come was in one week. However, they suggested I call the next morning to see if there were cancellations. I called in the morning - everything was backed up and the customer service person told me to continue to call. I continued to call and then was told to stop inquiring. You only receive one opportunity to try and receive a cancelled time slot. There is no queue to cue your request is handled when received.

    My next step is to find another provider. This has been extremely frustrating. I have an event for my work that I will need to manage at Panera or another location to receive Internet. Frustrated. Very poor service and very poor system for the top tech company in the world. BTW I shared the urgency of my situation but it does not matter beyond an apology for my inconvenience.

    My apartment complex provides the basic service included with rent. I just moved here and immediately called Google Fiber to set up the service. I made it clear to the woman setting up the account that I just wanted the service that the apartment provides at this time, if need be I would upgrade later. They still require a credit card on file, which I found odd, but figured hey maybe it's for verification of person/address?

    A week later I saw that she (or someone else) enrolled me in the program two steps above what the basic is. I immediately called. The gentleman said that he would be happy to move me back to basic. I asked if I would be charged for anything, he said he would have to see what it would be from the start of my service until now. I informed him he could go over the recordings of my initial set up call to see this shouldn't have even happened, 20 minutes later he appreciated my patience and said he saw in the notes that I had requested basic and somehow was placed in Fiber 1000 and he was contacting another department to see if he could stop my card from being charged or not.

    I honestly do not know if this was a genuine mistake or a scam for them to try to make money and show that a certain service is better so they can keep people on it. My concern is that I have to call back before the next billing to make sure I am not charged then (as he stated) and that over the time I was on the phone with him he repeated told me what a change I would see in my internet service by going down to basic. I'm thankful for the time (35 minutes) the rep took in investigating and trying to sort things out. I'm just highly disappointed that this occurred and the fact that I have to call back before the next billing to ensure that it doesn't happen again.

    To say it nicely, Google Fiber is possibly the biggest joke of a company I have ever dealt with. 2 weeks before moving in we were told our new apartment was google fiber ready, our tech just needed to finalize it. When our tech came out we were told that he wasn't able to complete the job because the wires were ripped out by the previous owners and it would take an engineer. We were told an engineer would reach out in the next 24 hours to schedule a time... Well an entire week goes by, and at this point we have called everyday. FINALLY, someone schedules an appointment for the following day at 10:40a. Due to both of us working, my mother had to miss work to meet the person there. Well guess who never showed up. GOOGLE FIBER. We didn't even receive a phone call.

    After talking to a supervisor I was told the rep scheduled the appointment w/ us even though he knew this wasn't an available time slot. HUH?! The supervisor advised me they would call me everyday to let me know when an available engineer would be out. I forwarded this to my management company, who then reached out to Google Fiber. THEY TOLD HIM IT WAS WIRED AND READY TO GO, AND JUST NEEDED A TECH. You can't make this up. Every person had a different story. This place is a joke.

    I used to be on Spectrum 50Mbps before and then switched to Google Fiber because it was a cheaper option than Spectrum for their internet only package. From day 1 after switching over, I realized that the speeds didn't match up at with the 100Mbps I was paying for. Speed tests all came within range 93Mbps but when downloading or streaming actual content, it was probably closer to 25Mbps from my experience. I am in IT and I work in networking so I gathered all my data before reaching out to their horrible customer service to complain. One tech even asked me how old my computer was. Like really? Anyway back to the story. There is a 3 Gb file I download for editing every month which used to take me about 3 minutes with my Spectrum connection. Now with a 100Mbps connection, this takes about 11 minutes. My connection is simple. Google Fiber => Ethernet cable=>Computer (I tried it with 3 ). 1 PC and 2 Macs. Same result.

    Eventually, I got fed up and upgraded to a 1Gbps connection. That was the last straw. I logged into one or my client's offices with a 200Mbps with a Verizon Fios connection and started the download side by side with my Google 1Gbps connection. Guess which one finished first. The 200Mbps connection. Both tests were performed on the East Coast. Enough ranting. Please stay away from Google Fiber if you are upgrading from another provider. Your service is probably much better. Take my word for it.

They never called to confirm my appointment for today's installation. Again, I had to call them the day before.

Lengthy disorganized process that's not worth it. They left me a notice on my door that fiber was now available and I live half a block from the Nashville fiber up. Yet they didn't come to actually lay the line from the street to my house until 2 months later. They dig up a good chunk of my yard, just put hay over it, and woke me up by drilling into my house.

    I then scheduled the remaining install for 4 more days out, they took 3 hours to set it up. But then couldn't get the 100mbps over 42 mbps. They said they could get it closer to 100 if the service was upgraded to 1gbps, but customer service said they'd need to charge me more and I declined, they then just said sorry and left.

Meanwhile my father has to sit in his apartment with no phone and tv.

No problem for about a year. It makes the rent at my apt totally more attractive considering it comes with internet. The problem is when you move. I called them to tell them I was moving and If never would have everything would be fine. I took my network box over to the new apartment (same complex and literally right next door) and everything worked great for about 3 days.

    The cutoff date came and the internet stopped working. I am freaking out because I work from home and only have a few hours of sick time left for the year. I call and their customer service is a joke. They have no answer for anything and every time I called back I had to repeat my old and new address to the point where I knew that the agents weren't even looking at the account history. I'm not even gonna go into that cause it's not even the real issue. After all the crap service on the phone I was advised to go to the store. When I got there with my network box they took it and said, "We are replacing them with a "mini" network box." IT ONLY HAS ONE ETHERNET JACK. So I find a switch on Amazon for 10 bucks which actually did the trick to my surprise. Now that everything has been going good for about a week now THE FREAKING WIFI WON'T CONNECT.

    I ordered Google Fiber and TV in Oct 2016. The service was installed but never worked properly. There were lots of issues with videos pausing, especially through the Netfix and YouTube apps. I called several times and spent time troubleshooting with your techs (30 minutes here, 30 minutes there). This went on for a couple of months. I was patient and tried to give Google a chance. Eventually, one tech suggested I take the wall jack back to your store (30 minutes there, 30 minutes back) and switch it out.

    So, after spending several hours of MY time to try to get YOUR service to work, I eventually had enough. I emailed fiber-support on December 30th and asked about cancelling the service given that it has never worked as promised. Thomas ** replied and said I could cancel at any time. I just needed to drop off the equipment at the store (30 minutes there, 30 minutes back), which I did in January. The rep at the store assured me that no additional fees or charges would be due. I was charged in January and once again called customer support. I was told that although you charged me in January, the refund couldn't process until February. So I waited once again.

    In February, the refund went through followed by another charge a few days later. Once again, I get customer support on the phone (another 30m) and am told I would get a call back within 30m once the refund was processed. Since I didn't get the return call, I went to the support-chat option (45m). Finally, I was told that the charges are for a "$200 construction fee" because I didn't fulfill my contract. I sent Austin a copy of the email from Thomas ** telling me I could cancel any time, as well as mention that Google never fulfilled their end of the contract since the service never worked properly. I also explained that had Thomas ** explained that I would owe $200 for cancelling, I would have asked that a new line be run or techs come to the house to fix it rather than cancel.

    Spotty service / bad customer support. I decided to use Google Fiber when I moved to my new condo; as they were the preferred provider in this building. My woes started with the installation. They kept telling me I didn’t have service when the building was wired for Google fiber. I was told by the technician that finally came out that the way they set it up, I could hardwire from any jack in the house. I later discovered this was not so, but due to my busy schedule I did not make this an issue at the time. The service from that point has regularly frozen and disconnected, with a few aggravating modem resets in between. When it came time to pay the bill because my bank account information had been stolen I decided to go into the office to make payment. Their offices do not allow for manual, otc, or in person payments. The only payment method from what I was told is through the website.

    This is something I cannot control, but a major inconvenience as some people still like phone and in person options even if it’s a kiosk. When I finally went to pay the bill, I was only gonna pay my past due amount. I purchased a prepaid card and the representative stated he could not take the payment but advised me to make the payment online and I have to make the card my primary card. I made it clear I was paying the minimum past due and it should have been understood this was a one-time payment. Well the next day they drafted the extra due from my account. I am well aware of what was due and when and what it would take to sustain service. I was furious because I put that money on a prepaid card since my account had been compromised. The next agent acknowledged I had been given incorrect information after I directed them to listen to the call but refused to return the extra money drafted.

    This makes no sense, after that extra payment was not my intent. Side note... they will forever be paid by prepaid cards for now on. Now that I know how they do and when I want to make it since they were so helpful in telling me I was given the wrong information and they were doing nothing about it. Since I have to take my time with these phone calls now I have decided to tell them about the horrible inconsistent service. I also advised of what the installation technician said about being wired throughout my unit. The agent wasn’t helpful and the supervisor Christian was clueless and from the conversation advised basically he wasn’t going to offer to help. lol... I really don’t care because just as soon as I find out someone else has fiber, I will be switching. Thank you for no contract... even if I have to pay more money... makes me miss Xfinity. In all their flaws they were never this clueless on how to treat customers or maintain consistent service.

    My only decent experience was today with a rep who quickly determined I needed a tech... scheduled service and offered me a 25.00 credit. I don’t really feel like this was enough based on my past experience and now I know what to expect from this companies customer service culture. I have a review and recommendation. GO WITH A MORE ESTABLISHED PROVIDER IF POSSIBLE IN YOUR AREA... Because their lack of consistency with the service and that horrible customer service experience is the primary reason... I will be switching as soon as availability comes to my area and leave Google to what they do best... just do email and search engines!!!

    I started my service with Google Fiber on Jan 4th 2017. I signed up for 100 mbps. The speed never got above 40 mbps. The service technician said my computer must be old, my computer is only 2 years old. I had better service with Comcast Infinity. Google made several excuses why the speed was super slow. I don't know how they can legally get away with advertising something they can't deliver.

    I recently had my Google Fiber Service at home in Morrisville, NC. While the fiber team lay down optical-fiber cable through my front yard, they cut the underground power cables to the lawn decoration lights. I informed about the issue to the Google Fiber Customer care. They are not ready to fix it back. Moreover their customer service representative are very irritating people. They don't know how to speak to a customer. They think that they are kings and customers are kind of third rated people.

    I am going to file a lawsuit to Google Fiber. See, fixing the cable might cost maybe few hundred bucks. That is not an issue. I can find someone to fix it. But the thing is, Google Fiber team customer care representatives attitude is what urging me to file a lawsuit. I have the plan 1000 mbps but I never got more than 450mbps even connected through ethernet. In wifi, forget it, it's just less than 30mbps. This is just 3% of what they promised.

    The guy was one hour late because of the prior installation. Once he did get here though he went right to work and the internet was up and running within 15 minutes. My charter internet was a lot faster but it is pretty quick. No complaints about it this far. I don't know what else to really say outside of that. As reliable as the rest of them. It depends on the day I guess. Normally it slows up around holidays. I’m thinking because more people are home and using at same time.

    Everyone was very helpful and friendly whenever I dealt with them. I contacted about billing and service related questions with little wait time and great a service. The window for arrival could have been a little shorts but other than that the technician was efficient, friendly, knowledgeable, and courteous. I had used a previous service provider in the past and this was by far a quicker speed and more reliable than my previous provider. I also had better experienced with the employees who I interacted with. During my entire time being a subscriber I never once had an issue with my service being interrupted which makes this very reliable brand in my opinion.

    I haven't had a trouble with their customer service yet but there are always those rude people who work for customer service you can't ever avoid. It is nice though, I've only had nice people so far. It was quick and easy and it took no time at all. It was so easy my dog, whom runs into walls, could probably set it up with little trouble. haha. It was easy unlike other companies. It is super fast, almost as fast as sonic the hedgehog but sonic is still faster. It rarely lags and if it does it's usually due to something else affecting it. It is quite reliable but of course there are outside forces that no one can control. Like storms. It sucks when the internet goes out cause it usually means I lost all of my data since my last save point on the game I'm playing.

    The customer service is always on point. If I have a problem, they usually solve it right away and they have patience to deal with my problem even if it takes a bit longer than usual. And when they finish fixing my problem they usually make sure I am set up good or ask me if I need anything else. The installation was so easy even a 5th grader could do it. It is so much easy installing you can do it yourself. The installation is much more easier and is quicker than your usual internet providers, plus the installation is free compared to other internet providers who charge you like 40-50 just to install it.

    The speed is excellent and incredible. Could be a bit better, but compared to other internet providers, I can't complain because the speed is so good that it's outrageous. I would recommend it and I am happy but I'd be so happy to actually go out my way to recommend it if the service for speed was a bit cheaper. With Google Fiber I don't have to worry about reliability. Their service is so damn good that even during a storm or thunderstorm, it still works fine without crashing or going out on me. Their reliability is more stable than other internet providers so I definitely recommend them.

    They are very helpful and kind. They do all they can to help get you great service and at a good price which I really like because I love being on the net and quality service is important to me. They were very fast and reliable to me and my family. They offer great speed and I really like that about them because I want fast coverage so I can get things done in a timely matter and still have time for myself and my family. It's very reliable which I really like because if it wasn't I would go somewhere else. That's probably the most important thing they could do is have that.

    I've never used the customer service support but I do know that this is a great service. Many of my friends have used it so I've decided to go ahead and use it and it's really great. For installation it was very specific but it was a breeze. It did take a while but it was very great once it was installed. The internet service is great and it can be used by many people. The speed is very well. Many people can access the Internet unlike other internet services that is really slow. I love google anyways so to have their internet service was a must. It is very reliable. The speed has been amazing. The speed is beyond my standards. I love it. It also does wonders when trying to get stuff done fast.

    They are a great service. Every once in a while I get a representative that is not at all helpful. Most of the time they are very helpful, very kind, sweet. The gentlemen was very respectful. Even asked if he should wear booties on his shoes, made sure everything was working before he left and made it seem more like a friend was at my house than a stranger. It took less than 2 hours. I was very surprised and thrilled that it was so quick. He even called me to let me know when he was on the way. So far, even with the crazy weather, I have never had any outages, shorts or anything go wrong to cause me not to have cable.

    The customer service is absolutely outstanding. The competition is no match compared to the customer service provided. The people are always nice, happy to speak with you. They are and intelligent. The installation is fast, simple, it took a lot less than what I expected. The person was very nice and seemed to enjoy his job and to assist me. The speed is what I like most about this. I grew up with AOL and have had slow internet all my life and the difference is just amazing. I absolutely enjoy being on the internet. I can stream easily. This is always reliable. I can't think of anything worse than not having internet. Sorry my old internet service I was always having problem with my connection when it rained. I no longer have to suffer.

    Quick and effective. Not a lot of stupid troubleshooting like with other companies and I appreciate that with two small little girls. It really helps to have the timely response and online email/chat as customer service options. The window of time kinda ducked and was inaccurate, but otherwise not too complex. Information provided was helpful, which is more than I can say for other companies! Much faster than FIOS and Verizon services, and noticeable faster than Comcast (XFINITY) was. Even via cable Internet that we had been VERY happy with until recently. Works when it should. Only needed to contact them 2x, one was an easy reset with no down time and the other was fixed within 2 hours. I have been pleasantly surprised.
