Worst Experience Ever
Worst Experience Ever
My experience with FiberFirst in Haslet, TX has been the worst internet service experience I’ve ever had.
I switched from Spectrum after a FiberFirst sales representative offered me a promotional price that was better than both my current Spectrum pricing and FiberFirst’s advertised pricing. Since my Spectrum bill was about to increase and FiberFirst had better reviews, I decided to switch.
My installation was scheduled for 6/16/2026, but the installer told me the neighborhood terminal wasn’t ready and couldn’t install my service. FiberFirst couldn’t provide an estimated timeline, even though a house two doors down had already been using FiberFirst for about six months. After several calls, they rescheduled me for 6/19.
When the installer returned, he again claimed the terminal wasn’t ready. Only after speaking with my sales representative did he locate a terminal that could be used. The Adtran SDG-8614 gateway then took nearly 30 minutes to activate instead of the usual five. The installer never verified my internet speed, and when I tested it myself next to the router, I only received 400–600 Mbps despite paying for 2 Gbps service. My sales representative had also promised the installer would help test Wi-Fi coverage throughout my home, but the installer refused because he had other appointments.
The speed wasn’t even the biggest problem. About 30 minutes after installation, the router went offline. From then on, my internet disconnected every 20–45 minutes. Between 2:45 PM and 9:00 PM on installation day alone, I experienced nine outages and repeatedly called customer support. Every representative simply rebooted the router, and the issue always returned. After several calls, I was finally told the department that could actually help had already closed for the day—something none of the previous representatives mentioned.
Despite advertising 24/7 live customer support, I called more than five times over the weekend, waiting 30–60 minutes each time without ever reaching a live person.
On 6/22, customer service scheduled another technician. That afternoon, a FiberFirst technician informed me the router wasn’t the problem—the issue was the outside neighborhood line, and multiple homes were affected. He assured me it would be fixed that day or the next.
It wasn’t.
On 6/24, his manager explained that home builders had damaged FiberFirst’s lines. He estimated service would be restored by 7/6 and told me I could text him with questions. I texted him on 7/1 and again the next day asking for an update. I never received a response.
I waited through 7/6, but nothing changed. On 7/7, after 19 days of installation problems, repeated outages, broken promises, poor communication, and countless wasted hours, I canceled my service and requested a refund because FiberFirst had already charged my credit card despite never providing reliable internet.
In my opinion, FiberFirst sold and activated a service that simply wasn’t ready. They refunded my money, but they can’t refund the time I wasted.
