My husband, *****, and I changed our minds about continuing with our 12 month subscription ($600 cost) in March 2024 and decided to go with **** for our home and business internet and cell phones. I called Gig Fire to ask if we would receive reimbursement for the 9 months that were unused. The person I spoke with said I would be charged $150 for dropping our service, but would receive the $300 remaining balance. They said that someone would stop by to pick up the equipment that we used, too. I have called pretty much every month since, but was told that it was being handled by another department in their organization, and there was no way for me to contact them directly. My husband and I were in a motorcycle accident this May and I was unable to call them until today. Same answer again! I was hoping someone at the BBB could help get in touch with them about this. I thank you for any help you can give me! Also, to help save them time, we took apart the equipment and have it in a box to return to Gig Fire.Customer Answer

They bought out a provider in ******, IL but ever since they took over their internet service is down or the speed has been cut down for at least the last 2 years. The company was called Rualcom. I have called them numerous times and told them they need to give us credit for the time that they are down. It has never happened. They need to give credit to everybody out here that is on their service.Initial Complaint

We had been a customer of ********************** internet service for 9 years and would pay yearly as it was the better deal. We cancelled our internet service with them as we moved and they state that you can cancel anytime. Well, guess what, they took over $100 out of our refund for cancelling early even though we have been a customer for 9 years! This was back in May 2024 and it is now March 2025 and we have still not received our refund check. I have called numerous times and they say yep, we will let our billing **** know and then nothing. We should get our refund plus interest on the year long wait!!!! I think they are trying to get us to forget about it but I will not let this be forgotten. If you can help in anyway, that would be greatly appreciated.Business Response

My original internet company was purchased by Gigfire. Before the purchase, I had the company for 7 years with no issues worth getting upset about. After Gigfire's purchase everything was initially running smoothly and I was paying the same price. Then one day, with no notice, my bill jumped up by $20. They said I was supposed to have received an email stating that they discontinued the plan I was on. I never received that email. Ever since the jump, my service has been ranging from poor to nonexistent. I spent 11 days without internet because of tech scheduling. Since the tech has been out, things haven't gotten any better. I have contacted customer support multiple times a week for over a month and all I keep getting is please continue to be patient as we try to resolve this issue. Now, they want to send a tech out again which will probably take another week or more. And they choose when they come out so I have to miss work, again. They have no respect for their customers and no care. They have no problem taking my monthly payment out on time but no rush fixing what I'm paying for. Not a day goes by that my internet isn't buffering or down all together. I live in a rural area and run our phones off our "service". No internet, no phone service. I'm at my wits end trying to get them to give me what I am paying for.Business Response

Hello ********,
Thank you for reaching out to **. We wanted to inform you that we have discontinued all plans with speeds below 150 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload. All customers have been upgraded to plans offering at least these speeds. An email detailing this change was sent to your email address on May 13th.
Regarding the connection issue, our technician's notes indicate that it was caused by a line of trees in a neighbor's yard. This issue should have been resolved as of November 19, 2024.

The company did send a tech out within 3 days of filing the complaint but the tech only checked our inside system. He said it checked out fine. He never did anything with our outside system. He said last time something about putting an extender on the neighbors system. He did pop down to the neighbors but they weren't home. He said the company was supposed to contact them before he came out. The internet is working marginally better but still is slow and cuts in and out completely. They have never contacted me themselves to ask if anything is better. I am still paying for subpar service with a company that doesn't follow thru unless pushed.Customer Answer

I am still experiencing failure of service. I have reached out to customer support many times. They have started a ticket to get a tech out here again. This will be the third time. As of yet, I haven't received any notification of when a tech will be here. We have been battling this issue for months with no satisfactory resolution. Somebody has called me one time to ask some questions and was supposed to call me back same day. That was 4 days ago. They are still charging me full price when service is below par more often than not. I will be contacting the billing department. I am beyond aggravated and annoyed with this situation.Business Response

I had a new roof put on my home and when the roof was put on the company that put it on cut the internet cable. I contacted Gigfire and asked them to come out the next day and to please get my internet hook up, and was willing to pay for emergency service. They never came and this was back in June 2024. I canceled my serive with them and still have not received my refund check in the mail and they have not pick up their equipment as they said. They have no direct number to their account payable/ receivable section. They only say they will send them an email. I had paid my bill in full for the year back in April 2024 and deserve my refund for 10 months.Business Response

They were told to have the refund to me by Nov. 15th or I would be contacting the BBB and since they did not have the refund there as I requested, that is why I contacted you. Until I get the refund I will continue to reach out to them and you until this is resolved.Customer Answer
