Be very careful and mindful when agreeing to an installation , the engineers attention to detail is beyond a disaster , they will drape any old wires drooping across your property,they will leave 10’s of metres of coiled up wire tied up in bunches with cable ties in whatever colour they have on the van , no quality inspection no pre thought just slap it up and run but it’s only £20 pm to look at . I would insist on a pre agreed installation inspection then do not pay until you are happy with how it looks . Our Victorian building appearance is spoiled by this while we wait for someone to come and put it right and conceal the eyesore .

Complete system failure in my area

Complete system failure in my area. As I am at present suffering massive health anxiety and no proper phone service over last 2 nights this caused a total breakdown in my ability to cope. This documented failure only covered last night but I had been having problems for a day or 2 and was not dealt with swiftly enough Causing severe distress last night and the previous evening a matter which my GP did not take seriously enough. I await this evening with trepidation can this happen again and not be dealt with as no contact can be made? at the time if housebound or out of hours or an isolated instance. ?

Good morning Patricia,

When you contacted us, you explained there had recently been external works at the property and were concerned this may have affected wiring or equipment. Our checks confirmed the network connection was live and working, with no outage identified. The issue was resolved during the call by rebooting the equipment and reconnecting the Wi‑Fi, and service was confirmed as working before the call ended.

As a precaution, you were advised to monitor the service and contact us again if any further issues occurred. If there is more to the issue than described, please contact us by phone or email at help@wightfibre.com so we can review this further.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback.

Outstanding Customer Services

Three months after switching to Wight Fibre we had a problem with Freely TV. After a 5 minute call to customer services it was sorted. The operator made it really easy to understand what to do. However I am tech savvy although in my 50's.

Hello E E Schaff,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
We’re really pleased to hear that you’ve had a positive experience with our sales, customer service, and installation teams.
We’re sorry to hear that your Wi‑Fi experience has been frustrating, as patchy coverage is certainly not what we want for our customers. Wi‑Fi performance can sometimes be affected by property layout, construction, or device placement, and in many cases this can be improved with a few adjustments.
We’d love the opportunity to review your setup and see what can be done to improve things for you.
Please contact our customer service team so we can take a closer look and help get the most out of your connection.
Best wishes.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and for your honest feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the issues you experienced early on, particularly with the phone connection, the missing router adapter, and the interruptions to your telephone service. That’s not the start we aim to provide, and we appreciate you bearing with us while those were resolved.
We’re really pleased to hear that, despite this, you’ve found our customer service to be good overall. Your comments help us improve, and we’ll be sure to pass this feedback on to the relevant teams. Thank you for choosing WightFibre.

Let down by WightFibre

Sorry...I seem to be in an area in Bembridge [IoW), where they connect in a reasonable time frame.

At the beginning, mid March 2026, all seemed good, can you help us with a £4,000+ government grant to get you connected.

Filled in the details,set up a direct debit, then get an email to connect at the end of July......

Sorry, but unacceptable, should have been informed at the time of engagement that you are not in the area to connect quickly. Very disappointed in the lack of honest information to get custom.

Also disappointed, as other reviews give a glowing story, so was looking forward to a 5* service to enjoy good Internet and the world cup.

Hi David,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and I’m sorry for the frustration this has caused.

Following your initial enquiry, it became clear that further external works are required at your location before a full fibre connection can be completed. Where additional works are needed outside the property, this can impact installation timescales and unfortunately means we’re unable to connect as quickly as we would like.

The date referenced later in the process was provided as a provisional placeholder to ensure your booking remained active while those requirements were reviewed, rather than a confirmed installation date. We appreciate that this may not have been sufficiently clear at the time, and we understand how this could feel disappointing.

In relation to the grant funding, this is only claimed once a customer has been successfully installed and connected, rather than at the point of enquiry or initial engagement.

We recognise how important transparency is when deciding to proceed, and your feedback highlights where we can improve how we explain build requirements, timescales and funding processes earlier in the journey.

While many customers do go on to enjoy a reliable service once connected, we’re sorry that your experience so far hasn’t matched those expectations. If you’d like us to look again at your specific circumstances or discuss next steps, our team will be happy to help via our support channels.

Kind regards,
WightFibre

Not sure why but broadband is draining my battery overnight, doesn’t happen anywhere else and has never happened before.. Also they put the price up £4 a month after I’d just joined which was annoying, they should at least allow the first year with no increases, shows they do actually care!

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review.
We did previously make you aware of the £4 monthly price increase, but we understand it can still feel frustrating, especially so soon after joining.
In terms of the battery drain you’ve mentioned, Wi‑Fi itself wouldn’t normally cause a separate device’s battery to drain overnight, so we’d like to understand this properly to be sure nothing else is going on. Could you let us know what type of device you’re experiencing this with?
Please reach out to our Customer Service team so we can look into this in more detail and make sure everything is working as it should. We’d be more than happy to help. Thank you again, Best regards.
