Dont waste your time considering Slingshot as a internet provider, you may save a dollar with a good promotion but they will find the way to rip you off later on. E.g.: disconnection charges, claiming for the return of a modem that wasnt theirs, sneding out 2 wrong invoices after cancellation date was passed, taking months to return the money they have wrongly charge you, customer service is the worst of its kind!

After 1 week I emailed again to check. After 9 days I rang, then the first lie "your call is important to us", followed shortly by the 2nd lie "an agent will be with you shortly". After 30 min I get "there is 9 callers ahead of you in the queue". Their very obvious modus operandi is to hope that at least 50% of the callers give up in frustration.

Meanwhile still waiting on phone, missing 3 incoming calls... ...read more
