Hawaiiantel upload slow in Kona
I pay for 1G fiber from Hawaiiantel (Fioptics). I also had it installed on five homes of family members in my area. Sometime in the last week or so, upload speeds have gone down to a fraction of what they should be. Upload should be around 600Mbps, but I’m seeing less than 10 in some places. Download is working perfectly.
I’m getting nowhere with the phone support. They ask me to bypass my router to verify I still have the slow upload, which I do, and then they tell me to call my router manufacturer. They interrupt, are dismissive, and entirely unhelpful.
All I can think to do at this point is to call my family and ask them all to open tickets in the hopes that someone willing to listen and able to help takes notice.
I’m really hoping I didn’t make a mistake switching away from Spectrum!
Is anyone else out there experiencing this issue? If you are and you’re in the Kailua-Kona area, could you please call them at 808-643-6111 and open a ticket too? If anyone has had success in getting this issue resolved, I’d appreciate your advice on what to do next. I work from home, and this is incredibly disruptive to me and my family.
Mahalo!
UPDATE: The issue appears to be fixed for me and my families houses in Holualoa. The fix appeared sometime between 6pm last night and 7am this morning. Thank you very much to you Hawaiiantel people who read this and responded. Spectrum would not have done that!
UPDATE 2: Heard back this evening from Hawaiiantel. They had a bad fiber and an error in their test process that failed to reveal the problem. They have corrected both issues and things are working well now. Mahalo to the Hawaiiantel NOC team!
