    In the past year we have had wisper internet and we maybe have internet for a few minutes a day. I have called them multiple times and they never come out to help us with our issue. They keep taking our money but sadly this is the best internet provider we can get service with. So I kept calling and telling them that we have no internet and they basically said yes your reception is weak but we are not coming out to your house anymore and they said if we call one more time then they will come out to our house to take the stuff that whisper owns and disconnect us from their services. I don't think it's right to keep charging us every month to have wifi but then we don't get wifi reception. So at this moment we can't search on the web, open apps on our phones, watch tv (hulu, discovery plus, HBO Max) or even make phone calls. I don't know what to do because they even blocked my number so I can't call them. Its not ok that they blocked me from calling and they are still taking our money and we are not getting internet. Can someone please help with this situation?

    Wisper's internet is constantly down or incredibly slow. This has been going on for years. To simplify matters I will focus this complaint on the past almost 2 weeks. I have had internet for a total of maybe one day. First I was told it was probably our router. I have bought several over the years because that always seems to be their go to answer. This time wisper shipped a new one to me then a tech came out 4 or 5 days later to hook it up. Next I was told the auto pay didn't go through so I paid my bill. New router was set up and I paid my bill so everything I could have done on my end I did. We had internet for maybe 24 hours and now here we are again with no internet. No one to call because they won't be in till 10am. If they send someone out again that will end up totaling nearly a month with no internet. I will have paid my bill for literally nothing. Paying for them to not provide me anything more than frustration. This is just unacceptable. Wisper was awarded a massive amount of grant money for the sole purpose of providing customers in rural areas better internet. There are hundreds of reviews online from other customers who are experiencing the exact same problems as I am.

    The customer reached out to the Wisper Technical Support team at 10am on Saturday 10/15 and the agent was able to get the situation resolved (updated router on old version of firmware). No mention of a refund or credit was made while on the call, but a credit has been applied to the account for downtime the customer experienced. Wisper staff also reached out to the customer multiple times after receiving this complaint to notify the customer of the credit and resolution and to confirm all issues were solved to their satisfaction, but all calls at this point have been sent to voicemail. 

    If additional issues exist, the request is to please reach out to the Technical Support team for resolution. 1-800-765-7772
