NOS, the worse Internet provider I never seen.

My connexion was not working as expected 20 days after my order
and two weeks of daily fights and dozen of deseperate phone calls with your technical services.
No connexion, or less than 2Mb of speed while it was a 200Mb FFTH contract.
Your technicians are incompetent because they were unable to fix my internet connexion
and not professional because they don't respect their appointments,
don't honor their own commitments. do not care of the result of their actions.
Each of their technical interventions has made things unchanged or even worse after than before.
And I never succeded to have a level2 technician at home or even on the phone, able to fix my issue..
It is a lack of the most elementary respect of the customer,
I had lost my time and worn out my nerves with NOS, waiting for phone calls from NOS that never happened.
I'm sorry to tell you, but you're the worst internet provider I've seen in several countries
and my long life as a network administrator. And my short relationship with NOS was just a nightmare.
I was obliged to cancel my commitment and I encourage everybody to stay far away of their false promisses.

    I hope they will not try to charge-me even one cent for a service I never had.

    Here the curve of my short story with this ISP. Of course, you don't see all the time my connection was lost, so I was unable to record any speed test. And note that all the time I recovered a normal speed, it is after rebooting the modem. It stay ok for few hours, then breaks again.

    But the problem is not so the technical issue, it is the awful hot line that don't care of your problem. And if it is like this during the period i could break the contract, I can imagine my loneliness after !!!!

    They are not the worst. Trust me.

    Have you tried the speed test in different devices?

    I had a bad experience with an other one, a cable operator, but at least, they tried to fix the problem and accepted to break the commitment after the delay, because they were unable to provide what was in the contract.
    Nothing to say about my other actual one: my ADSL is very slow, *but stable*. I had one problem during two years, fixed with a technician in my home the day after my call.
    NOS ? two weeks, dozen of phone calls and they did nothing. They never call back when they promised, refused to send a tech in my home or to send-me an other modem They let-us alone with a broken connection and a wall in front of us.. (If you read the forum, you will see we are numerous with the same problem). They have my registered letter, and I'm happy to be finished with them.

    For your second question, I am a network administrator, and, of course, the first thing i did before to call was to verify nothing wrong in my 1GB network.
    Anyway, each time I reboot the modem, Speed tests are OK for few hours until it breaks again then it stay broken or erratic until the next re-boot.
    So it is for granted the problem comes from the NOS network and if they don't even try to solve-it while I'm in the period I can break my commitment with no penalties, I can imagine my future life with them ;-)
    They had spend big money in bringing fiber to my home and do not spend half an hour to fix an issue
    to keep-me as a customer ? Can-you imagine something more stupid ?

    @Esperado did you ever ask for them to exchange the router?
    Kilobyte
    October 6, 2017
    Yes. Their answer was 'There is no problem with your router, so, we don't have to.".
    I said: "How can-you be sure if you don't even try ?".
    The answer was "your line is under analisys, please wait for the results."

    I am still waiting ;-)

    In fact, I believe now they were right about the modem, because i can see, in this forum, so many people with exactly the same symptoms. And I believe they are perfectly aware of the problem ... that they are unable to fix.

    I agree, that company is a huge mess, never again will I become a customer of theirs.
    Dealing with them via telephone is a waste of time.
    I recommend the online livro de reclamações, because that way Anacom will also be informed of your problems and there is pressure for Nós to do something.
    I went that way and within days they finally canceled my contract (after I had tried in vain for over a month) and they even returned a month's fee as the delay was obviously their fault.

    All disappointed customers should flood Nós with official complaints filed via the livro de reclamações.

    "Dealing with them via telephone is a waste of time."
    Can-you imagine for a burro velho like me, "Eu não falo português" 😉
    But they are not aware that emails has been invented. Afraid of traces ?

    "I recommend the online livro de reclamações,

    No, the livro de reclamações is independent of Nós, you can complain about most anything there:
