Description of Work: Unfortunately this is the only high speed Internet option I have. The service is fine during the day, but at night when everyone else is on line, I lose 90% of my speed. If I had another option I would leave the. In a heart beat.

Description of Work: I have used SkyBeam (or their predecessors) for 10 years, and overall have had very good service. They came out after some bad storms and repositioned my antenna at no additional charge.

Description of Work: Skybeam came out and installed an Internet line of sight antenna on the roof of my newly purchased house in semi-rural Johnson County near Burleson. During a previous installation service call they had checked for line of sight and found it to be marginal and advised that I would need a mast mounted antenna, which the installer at that initial visit was not supplied with. On the subsequent visit the installation crew that came out was very thorough and informative. I went on the roof with them and they demonstrated several possibilities for a mast mounted antenna and went over the pros and cons of each with me. I picked an option and they installed the antenna. The process was very satisfying because I was able to be an informed consumer throughout the whole thing. The final phase, where they and I had to log on jointly and establish my Internet account and connection went smoothly also. All in all, I am a very satisfied customer.

Description of Work: We had no issues with Skybeam for 5 months. Then in month 6, our speed dropped to almost nothing daily. From there, it turned into constant phone calls to try and get someone to figure out the problem. No one could. We were told to 'cycle' our modem so many times it was ridiculous. This is 2014! I know how to cycle a modem, so don't act belligerent when I get annoyed if you ask me to do it every time I call in. In addition, we would often go 4-5 days at a time without internet because it would just randomly 'go down'. The worst is the customer service, though. Every time we'd call in, we were told to cycle the modem again, and when that didn't work, they would arrange for a tech to come out...in a week. EVERY TIME it was a week or more. One time we lost our signal 30 minutes after a tech had just been to our house! Time to send a tech back out? A WEEK. | |So if you have no issues at all, Skybeam is great. If you have any, it is a nightmare to deal with them. We switched to a service that is not nearly as fast, but will solve issues promptly.

We contacted skybeam to get internet serivce at our new home. They were able to accomodate us and came out 3 business days later. My husband went to the trouble to point out to the gentleman that we had a smart house and show him where our wiring hub was. The installer informed us we would be able to get 15 mbps if we used a 15 foot antenna on top of the house. Before he left he told my husband, sorry the best i can do is 10 mbps. My husband checked the speed before the installer left and we were only getting 3 mbps. His response was and quot;it will work itself outand quot;. He also only installed the internet into one room of the house and drilled thru the brick wall of the office to get it there. My husband had offered him a gatorade when he got there and before he left he said, and quot;I will take another gatoraideand quot;. When he left my husband called to complain about the spped of the service and request that our bill be lowered to reflect the lower speed, they appologized and said that they would have someone come out and take a look at it (11 days later), On the date of the appointment, no one came. My husband called and canceled the service. The best part in dealing with skybeam was the guy who came to pick up the equipent, who did exactly what he was supposed to do and was couteous and communiated very well.

When the provider came out to install the service, the installer arrived mid-afternoon in August, it was 100 degrees out. He walked all over our roof and caused extensive damage to the roof shingles, which were pretty soft from the afternoon sun. Skybeam fixed the roof after a couple of months of back-and-forth and a few calls the BBB. As for the service..............you'll never get anywhere near what they advertise, which I will note does say and quot;up to 10mbps down and up to 2mbps upand quot;. Well, the and quot;up toand quot; at my home amounts to around 1mbps down and .5mbps up. You can all but they always....ALWAYS......have the same excuse....and quot;get a new routerand quot; of my favorite is and quot;it's the towerand quot;. We have stuck with them because we literally have no other option except satellite, which I am now considering. The ONLY plus, their customer service agents are friendly, and well trained at stiff arming your problems, all with a friendly voice and explaining allot about your problem without really saying anything.
Description of Work: Provided me with 10mbps Down and 2mbps upload internet for $60 a month.

They also offer phone service but I only needed internet. I've been using them since March. I am under an introductory contract that will go up to $59. It is for their top line service. They were very quick to get here to set things up. They are very good on the phone to answer questions. I was trying to get an extension and they even suggested other people to go with to get an answer to my question, which is rare.

I've used them for years, we never got DSL, and we've been stranded. Their service is good. I have problems with slowness, loss of signal, and have had a hard time getting customer service, sometimes. I give them high ratings and will continue to use them in the future.
