Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 56 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers appreciate the quick and efficient service, with some highlighting positive interactions with staff members who provided clear information and good deals. The ability to speak with a human in customer service is also a plus for several users, and some have found the pricing and equipment quality to be satisfactory. However, a significant number of people experienced issues with customer service, including long hold times, unanswered calls and emails, and difficulty reaching managers. There are also concerns about advertised speeds not being met, frequent service dropouts, and problems with installation and activation that led to extended periods without service. Some customers reported aggressive sales tactics and issues with billing, including unexpected price increases and direct debits continuing after cancellation.

We got the fiber and so did a lot of people in my area. It was good at first but now it's so bad we can't even watch each other's streams. Another isp company falls flat

Brilliant service today from Tobi F. We've been waiting 2 weeks for a broadband router and Tobi resolved the issue within a few minutes. No dramas, just a very polite and calm conversation.

I’m not a Rise customer - revisited

I’m not a Rise customer and I notice the 5 star reviews are for installations and actual user reviews are pretty low. I’m so disappointed. I was hoping to change over to them and now I see I might be trading one headache for another. Sigh. Why can’t we just find affordable and reliable service. Back to the drawing board.

Well, I got a nice response back from rise after writing this review I don’t know if they are a good company or not but at least they listened. Come to find out even though I get mailers at my address from them, their Internet is not available at my address. Go figure that out!

I am now happily signed up with next link and can’t wait for my installation!

Worst Company Ever

Over the years we have had some problems with their service. For the last two weeks our internet connection has been going on and off. Problem is we live in the mountains. Our cell phones and TV run off the internet. Internet goes down, no TV no cell phone. So, when I finally was able to get Someone to help me, they found my dish needs to be readjusted. Told me it would take 8 days before they could get anyone out to fix. That is ridiculous! So Al most 3 weeks without cell phone, TV and internet. Worst company ever!

Terrible service

Terrible service. I have been without internet for over a week. It took Rise Broadband 8 days to send a technician out, only for the technician to say that Rise Broadband's towers will no longer be able to provide internet to my home. Making matters even worse, Rise Broadband refuses to offer a full refund for the month where I've been without service. Please avoid Rise Broadband at all costs.

I’ve had Rise for 5 years

I’ve had Rise for 5 years, I never got close to the download speeds they promised, and after a year I called and was told that their equipment at the tower I am using will never hit those speeds.
Lately I have at least 1 day a week without service.

Bye Bye Rise.

Zero Stars

If I could give zero stars I would! Numerous techs out, 10 hours on calls with their service department, tech (back end) and finally retention....it all adds up to the same thing...unreliable internet, throttled by them, unmet promises and excuses. Always pleasant to speak with someone there....but they aren't interested in solving the issue...just passing the buck to someone else....I had to stop the insanity and move to another service. Ta Ta Rise.... Buyer BEWARE!!

Switched from competitor for faster…

Switched from competitor for faster speeds, BIG mistake. I have ALL of my equipment routed through APC battery back up surge protection. After multiple visits once to replace wrong grounding block at dish, another time to replace poe and the last time to replace poe AGAIN. This time it was discovered that the tech that replaced the first poe decided to disconnect my APC surge protection unknowing to me. So when their poe went out again, it blew my $700 ROG ASUS GT-AX11000 Gaming Router! David Renshaw with VIP support decided they were not responsible.
"After careful review, we have determined that Rise is not responsible for the damage to your router. Our Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices include internal grounding mechanisms designed to protect connected equipment from normal static discharges.
Additionally, our technicians follow standard installation procedures, which do not require them to connect personal equipment."
1. They should of never disconnected my personal equipment!
2. It was not static, it was the poe going out and becoming so hot it burns to touch.
If not resolved and owning up to their huge mistake, I will be cancelling.
TBD....
