The price is fine and the wifi speed is as it should be but the signal is very weak. Sky sport buffers with no other devices running and the modem very near by. I can only just get reception in my room in our 108sq mtr house. Also they cut us off after just 7 days of late payment with no warning.
Pros
Reasonable price
Cons
Rubbish signal strength. Very poor customer service regarding late bill payment

Was with them for a year. I was getting average fibre speeds of about 9Mb/s and constantly contacting help-desk. They would get speed back up to 70 to 100mb/s but then within 30 mins, speed would go back down to below 10. I thought they were scamming me. Will never use slingshot again, for anything.
Pros
None
Cons
Constantly Slow fibre speeds. Ineffective help desk

We have been long time slingshot customers with no problems until moving to a new address.
Since having fibre installed at the new address we have had 3 months of nearly non existent internet.
We have had many phone calls between slingshot and us. Each time we speak to a different person who gets us to run the same tests, which don’t work because our internet doesn’t work.
Pros
Helpline people are polite .
Cons
Internet not useable
