Blake and Ellis great service

Blake and Ellis arrived exactly when they said they would. Talked me through the options for my installation. Carried the work out very efficiently. When they had finished I couldn’t even see where they had dug a tench across my front lawn. Cleaned up after themselves (even asked to use my hose pipe for the dust on the footpath) and as I am an “older person” took the time to talk me through setting up the App on my phone. Absolute 5 star service. Highly recommend these guys

Great installation and service

Friendly, helpful, tidy and efficient fitters. Turned up on time. Took their boots off at the door. Helped make sure connection was ok with devices/TVs etc. Helped set up the app. Can't fault the installation and no problems with service since. Only slight downside is that the internal box that is fixed to the wall is huge and ugly.

Blake and Ellis came to install my WiFi this morning. Absolutely lovely lads who made it such a relaxed and comfortable experience. They cracked straight on and made sure everything was up and working properly before they left.

I have been with kcom/Karoo since 1999…

I have been with kcom/Karoo since 1999 that's 27 years loyal customer. Earlier in the year my contract was due to expire and I needed to extend it as we cannot recieve ms3 yet. A month later out of the blue we decided to move away. Kcom have said that we were breaking out of contract and pay the remainder of £670,I think this is absolutely disgusting way to treat a loyal customer, especially when the service wasn't that great anyway, and there was no way around it either, so they'll be getting the money back in the slowest possible way.
