A lot of money for little service

A lot of money for little service. Weak or no connection even within a small apartment.

They cancel some services without authorization, but you must continue to pay the full amount until the end of contract.

Customer service absolutely unwilling to help.

Avoid

I bought a sim but when I connected up I got less data than what I was told in the shop and it was twice the price what I was told in the online chat. Wifi hotshots do not seem to work and the system was down the day I got my sim so I ended up registering 3 times. In summary - a farce so avoid

Do NOT sign up with Melita

Anyone in need of internet in Malta, stay away from this company. This is my second review and things are only getting worse.
After going through several months of constant lag/buffering and complete break down of the internet, where the customer service department goes around in circles not being able to decide which story they would attempt selling me on the day and agents contradicting each other, they eventually fixed the issue which took them about a month and as it turned out, the issue was outside in my street, not inside my home. I then got good internet for about a month.
Then it all went down again and I once again wasted god knows how long with customer service who over and over insisted there is no issue. I asked several times if there is a fault in my area again as it turned out last time which is about less than 2 months ago and I was told that there are no issues.
I insisted on them sending a technician cause I couldnt work, browse the internet, watch TV, nothing, to which I was told that I would have to pay EUR 25 for a technician to come over.
We as customer rent the modem, we dont buy them so its Melita´s responsibility to service their own product, not we pay for them to do so apart from paying the monthly fees anyway so I told them, there is no way in hell I will pay for someone to service the modem they lease out.
Long story short, once again, technician came, checked the modem, the roof cables and concluded that once again there was an issue with the box outside on the street which would require a high-up and a qualified technician to open in order to change the frequency.
This was done and now it works again, but given their track record, for how long?
After his whole ordeal, twice within months, I wrote a complaint and at the same time attached a copy of my new ID card to update my personal information because their own app has the function but it does not work. You cannot edit any personal information or upload any documents.
This email was sent over 2 weeks ago, no acknowledgement to my complaint or change of ID. Today I wrote on messenger to get an explanation as to why my personal information havent been updated and why no reply has been given to my complaint and nothing. The agent advised that I have to show up in person to edit my personal data. I was previously told that I could get this done by sending an email with the documents attached and today I was told no, you have to come in person. After much discussion and me insisting I would do no such thing, I was told that in order for them to change my ID, I would have to provide a copy of my old ID which I obviously dont have anymore because Identity Malta confiscated the old ID when it was replaced. Apart from that, the old ID was given to them years ago.
Eventually after much back and forth, the agent concluded that they will update my ID after all.
But WHY do we as customers have to put up with these constant internet problems? Why within a month of fixing the box in the street, does it happen again? Why are they unable to solve things once and for all and why do the customer service attempt to blame the customer for the issues and suck more money out of their customers? I simply cannot fathom how incompetent this company have become. Agents are clearly not trained well for them to on the same day give customers different reasons or replies. It makes no sense. Why should we as customer have to deal with a customer service department that have no clue what they are doing and this on a regular basis?
They tie you down on a contract, yet you end up paying for a service you wont actually receive. They cant fix their own system without it breaking down within weeks, and put all this hassle and stress on the customer to chase it being resolved and along the way, get close to insulted by the agents who take your call.
So again, anyone who needs an internet provider, DO NOT CHOOSE MELITA. I cant speak for GO but having been with Melita since they started in Malta, the service has stooped to such a low, they shouldnt be allowed to operate claiming to be the best ISP on the island.

Beware of Melita's unfair commercial…

Beware of Melita's unfair commercial practice. They will not let you terminate your contract.

In February I had requested the termination of Melita service. I got an e-mail confirming the end of the service, with the indication to return their devices after the termination date, in April.

When I went to the store to return the devices, I DISCOVERED THAT MY REQUEST HAS BEEN CANCELLED by the Retention Team; in fact they had called me (please notice that being a call, you don’t have anything suitable for a court) asked me if they could send me an offer but NEVER TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD CANCEL MY REQUEST “BECAUSE THEY WERE WAITING FOR MY RESPONSE”. Very unfair!

In the store they said they couldn’t do anything as another department takes care of terminations and the other department cannot be called directly by customers; so when I said that this behavior is ILLEGAL and that I wanted to talk to a manager, they answered they couldn’t call anybody and they could only enter a new request for termination (with a new 30 days termination date!).

To make a long story short, to have my rights respected, I ended up going 3 times to the store, compiling 2 complaints with the clear intention of calling a lawyer.

I have been a Melita client for almost 8 years and probably I will never be again because of this retention & commercial policy.

Terrible customer service and dodgy

Been few years with Melita and have constantly had home
Wifi issues. Slow and cuts off at times. When I ask for explanation it’s always the same answer, outside issue with area line, but they won’t address requests to get a report on the matter. If you complain they will say they will
Send technician but it might cost you 25 euros if the issue is not
From Melita, what a joke. Appalling customer service and dodgy. Will look in to changing the provider!

Stay away, they try to scam you, especially if you an expat.

Everything is wrong with this company, they can't set up a plan correctly, always appears, the previous agent did something wrong and they have to charge you. Also you can't get rid of them, I got 4 times the wrong information, in the end, if you already left, they are going to tell you, you can't quit the contract, you have to come by person in a store. When you are finally back in the store, they tell you that it was possible without going there. Madhouse, very unhappy agents, toxic climate. Stay away

Terrible customer service

Terrible customer service. Spent almost 2 hours on chat just to get my home Internet re-activated cause of a new contract and discuss other issues which were not solved. I ended up without Tv channels on my Tv set cause of miscommunication with one of their representatives. The solution on chat: "install the TV app on your mobile"

Built to scam people

Built to scam people. To sell a plan they tell you all you want to hear, after they scam you. If you need customer support, you ask 3 different people and get 3 different answers. They are specialized in scamming expats, you go there sort everything out, but when you have left the country they continue billing you, telling you have to come personally there otherwise they can’t stop billing you! That’s just the tip of the iceberg, much more awful things happene, stay away!

Inexisting Customer Care & poor service

I am trying to reach customer care via Melita Chat, however, no one has replied. The reason is to change my subscription.
As per the internet speed, I am supposing paying a higher fee for improved speed, however, some months ago I commenced to experience unstable reception and low speed.

Catastrophic

they should be ashamed for their absolutely incompetent customer support. i am a physician cut off from communication for 2 weeks. i have spent several hours mailing and chatting with around 15-20 people from melita, who each time promised to call me back. since severe harm was caused by melita related to my job as a physician i will now take legal action. they left me no choice!

Been with melita for 2 years

Been with melita for 2 years. after a little bit of rain internet is horrible. when I first applied with them I had no internet for 4months, then right after this internet kept disconnecting all the time, could not do 5 minutes lecture without disconnecting. What they asked from me after every month is the 35ewro payment. unfortunately in Malta there are only crap internet providers

Appalling Technical Help

Terrible Technical Support team that ask you questions a 5 year old would when having an issue with a SIM that has never worked (did you turn roaming on/off, can you turn your phone on/off). Also having to constantly repeat answers you have already given them (on live chat so they even have them written in front of them). Never had one issue with my Epic SIM in two years but thought I was getting a better deal here.
Definitely avoid Melita if you ever think you may need aftercare assistance.

Please do not never subscribe Melita…

Please do not never subscribe Melita services.
They propose a two years contract telling you that you can move your membership with you.
I am moving and they don't have authorisation to install their services at my new place so they are making me pay fees for resignation!
Thai is not acceptable!
They lie to you when you subscribe that you won't have any issue in case of a move out.
When I asked them to show where the fact that I am the one who have to pay for the impossibility of install services in their Terms and conditions, the only answer was it is not our fault you have to pay.
The service I had on the phone was repeating the same sentence over and over again.
I asked for the contact to the complains department and then the mediation department because I disagreed with this decision.
And the person on the phone refused to give it to me saying he is the last resort, that he won't provide anything because this is not their fault.
How a provider of services can treat their clients like this?
I asked on the legal part and they did not even accept to go through their Terms and conditions to acknowledge the fact that this was not on me but on them.
If you don't fight and just trust them, they'll take advantage on you.
I found it really deplorable!
My opinion is to not use this provider. Some others may be more trustful.

Melita doesn't deserve even for 1star

Melita doesn't deserve even for 1star. It's the worst company I even had any contact with!!! They are not able to fix my bill since 1month, I applied for a plan for 15.99 per month but my bill is 60. I spoke with 6 agents and nothing changes. I literally hate them now.

As always Melita is ready to disappoint…

As always Melita is ready to disappoint and infuriate. I got contacted for some "missing equipment". Once on chat, I was advised it's some home internet bits for a service terminated 3 years and 4 months ago. Since I cannot remember where the equipment was taken over 3 years ago, I am going to be charged 100 Euro. I also received a bill notification and enquired about it. It took a few different questions, and only after asking if I was owed money I actually got to know that apparently, I have adjustment credit. If I didn't ask that specific question, I had no way to know this, because being my service terminated I cannot even access my account.
The most ridiculous company with the most ridiculous customer service, they are thieves and liars. Stay very much away from these people.
