Some problems with initial installation with signal dropping out, had to contact WightFibre twice to have it fixed, though quick response with engineers attending within hours. Since second call out when internal box on wall was replaced everything has been good. Happy to be using local business and the price is very competitive. Thanks

We switched from Vodafone DSL giving 50 mbs download, to WightFibre some months ago. Installation and initial service was good but It has been a disappointing experience ever since. We contracted for 150mb up and down and today Ookla shows only 12 mb up which is less than 10 percent of what we contracted for. We switched to get the greater upload speed for when our sons work from home. We also have very variable download speeds sometimes high , sometimes as low as 25 mb. We get buffering on the TV and “unstable internet “ messages on Zoom calls. We have paid for an extender but their mesh system still doesn’t give the coverage in the house the old Voda single router did. Customer service is nice but ineffective. They keep saying they can’t see a problem, but we do keep seeing them so it’s some sort of stand off. I have tried to get through to them 3 times this morning only to get answer phone. Have left 3 messages with no returned call. I will be leaving them soon if no dramatic improvement.

Better than TalkTalk!

I’m no expert on internet things but I have left TalkTalk after years of the internet only working 50% of the time.

Wight Fibre’s connection actually works and has never dropped out or failed once since I had it. And it is a better price too! 🙂

The installation team were very good.

The installation team were very good.

Thereafter, speed has been variable and, at times, slow enough to cause 'buffering' which we have not experienced for some time and certainly not with Talk Talk, the previous provider on an overhead copper line rather than the end-to-end fibre from Wight Fibre.

Not sure if that is the reality of things but lets see....

Having been contacted by Wightfibre since, they suggested contacting their Customer Servoce Team but I can only do that by phone as the wifi from their fibre install is intermittent and currently (7th August 2026) off line at home altogether...

And having since spoken to Wightfibres Customer Service team, my system is apparently what I paid for.

Well, there we are then.

Great price for full fibre.

Great price for full fibre.
Everything has been fine and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
One problem we have had since it was put in is our tv channels keep disappearing.
I’m not sure why or how.
But it definitely seemed like it’s been happening since we began with Wightfibre.
