Review Time
I didn’t know what to expect as I hadn’t heard of even hiring WiFi before. Seeing mixed reviews online made me cautious, but it actually worked out great. We hired one for an event so that Stallholders could connect and make payments for customers. Testing the signal by placing it in different areas of the venue beforehand worked great - allowed us to find the best spot to place it. Would use again.
Worked very effectively for our needs, is not a cheap option but given the stressful nature of house moving and the challenges that having no internet can provide I would recommend this as an ideal solution to take some of the pressure off. The coverage and signal was excellent with no issues.
Did not work for me, returned for a refund but still got charged over £10 for admin and postage charges. Thought that was very unprofessional given that their service did not work for me at all.*Update 11.09 - Refund received. Many Thanks. Suggestion to others, make sure there is adequate coverage where you intend to use the device.
I could not recommend Wifi Hire more! What a great service they provide. My contract with Virgin ended but I needed one more month of WiFi before moving to Australia. Virgin offered me a great deal - an 18 month contract with a penalty payment of almost GBP 600.00 if I cancelled early !! Looking around, it is almost impossible to find a company who does anything less than a 12 month contract with huge penalties if you cancel early. Then I stumbled across WiFi Hire. Such a great company to work with. I made a mistake and ordered the wrong device and they immediately reached out to check what I wanted and rectify my error. The device was delivered on the exact date I chose and I simply had to plug it in and turn it on. I had the device in my living room and I was happily streaming videos in my bedroom upstairs with no buffering or lag issues at all. I returned the device to my local Post Office with the prepaid label and my deposit was returned to me as soon as they received the device back. I am very impressed and happy that there is a company that helps with situations such as mine. I would recommend them to anyone looking for this kind of service. Thank you WiFi Hire!
VERY INCOMPETENT! Don’t use this company services.The delivery was late, it was delivered the day we wanted to travel with it . I thought, the Gadget would be delivered at least 1-3 days before the day we wanted to start using it considering that I had ordered the device a week ahead of our travel date.It was for the kids to access wifi services while mobile and the holiday places we were travelling to didn’t have WiFi services . The gadget was dispatched to arrive on Wednesday the day we were leaving , which didn’t make sense, as our service start date was that Wednesday and the day of our departure.We left without the WIFI gadget , which was a huge inconvenience to my family, affected our plans .The company has no contact numbers or functional support services , so there seems to be no way to contact them directly other than via emails which they won’t respond back to on time. I am not sure if they do respond.EDITED : After the reply to my review by the Company.I have been in contact with one of your Assistant probably an AI assistant , asking me to ask my landlord or friend to send the gadget back to them, which didn’t make any sense. Worse, trying to justify the late delivery and laying blame on me for not letting them know that they were supposed to deliver a day before for me to get the service on the day it should start. Which was weird because when I order a service it is not my duty to remind the service provider to deliver the service right on time.The response to my review is trying to play clever, yet this reply comes after we had so much back and forth emails before.
DO NOT use this company. FRAUDULENT.The device didn't work at all. Useless for work, Google meets, Zoom, any app for making calls just not load at all. Download and upload velocity < 1 Mbps. Tried everything. I asked for a refund and was refused. Paid more than 50 pounds for 7 days, and still waiting for the deposit back. Lack of empathy and support has ignored my requests for a refund since. Appalling service!
Speedy delivery and easy setup. Worked okay as a temporary WiFi solution while we waited for our broadband installation. Setup was simple and straightforward.Allowed several devices to connect even Netflix on the TV. However, the speed wasn’t great, and it turned out to be very expensive for just eight days of use.
Prompt response to all my questions before purchase helped to prevent any issues as I needed to use the device in two separate counties. Received as promised, set up was absolutely hassle free and sending the router back was fairly easy too. Overall great service and if I need temporary fast solution again, I will surely return.
⚠️ Not Worth the Money – Unreliable Service!!!!!!!I rented this portable Wi-Fi while working remotely in the UK, and it was a very poor experience. The connection was extremely unreliable—every single Teams call I had dropped, even though I was the only person using the device. For a service that costs over £50, this is unacceptable.The device also arrived with a broken charger, meaning it wouldn’t power on. When I contacted customer service, they refused to provide a replacement charger and told me to buy one myself. Overall, the service was unreliable, product was expensive, customer support was unhelpful, and the equipment provided DID not even work for one device connected. No idea how they have positive reviews!!!!I would not recommend this company to anyone who needs a stable internet connection.
