Review of Brightspeed


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

DO NOT ORDER Fiber Internet Service - BEWARE!…

I've had Brightspeed 1gb Residental service for less than a month. It's down every day sometimes all day.
Brightspeed has sent three technicians and the service outages continue. It's very difficult to contact support since the support chat is only available during daytime business hours and the website support portal is useless.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Overall - Good but one issue that needs to be fixed for USA customers.

Overall - Good but one issue that needs to be fixed for USA customers.

The Good:
The Cloudways service and support has been great and will continue to use the Cloudways service and perhaps even migrate additonal hosts to Cloudways.

The Bad,
Paying my invoices often results in my credit card being blocked for fraud.
It would be a great improvement if Cloudways would use a payment gateway in the USA.

Review of Envato


Rated 3 out of 5 stars

i have made 300+ purchases on Envato …

i have made 300+ purchases on Envato over the years for mostly Wordpress related themes and plugins. I am generally satisfied with the purchases however this rating for 3 stars reflects my dis-satisfaction with purchases that are removed from Envato without being refunded. A recent example is the "Coverich Editor for Wordpress" which was removed shortly after I purchased it. This was a very promising plugin with tremendous future potential that has now been deprecated by Envato and no longer available for download or update. Additionally, Envato is attempting to charge for support by reducing the support period and requiring payment for extend support even though most are coding errors or javascript library issues that should updated as WP versions are released. Needless to say, this has reduced my frequency of purchases an I now fully consider the lifetime support costs for an Envato purchase.

Review of macs4u.com


Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Purchased 3 Macbook Pros, problems with 2 of them.

I have a very good experience with the staff at Mac4u.com however I have purchased quantity (3) Macbook Pro's. All were model year 2012.
(2) of the Macbooks had defects:
- one with the key 'O' that was dead. Brandon arranged shipping on the replacement.
- one with a dead superdrive. I replaced the superdrive myself since I had already installed software and didn't want to waste my time setting up all over again.
(1) macbook pro has been working fine for over a year and is my daily driver.

The Good: Very honest and pleasant staff to work with when there are problems.

The Bad: Quality control on refurb equipment needs to be better. Also, I asked serveral times to be notified when a 17" Macbook Pro was avaiable. The only notice that I have received was to give this reveiw on Trustpilot.

Dear Larry,

Thank you for your review and for your continued business! The issue with the keyboard should have been detected when you purchased it last year and this oversight was clearly on us.

Luckily we had a replacement machine ready for an advanced exchange and provided a $50 discount to make up for the hassle.
Unfortunately we have never heard of any other issue you experienced (the superdrive). Those issues are often dust related which can be resolved over the phone. Also we handle complimentary data transfers on any exchanges to minimize the setup time.

Re. not receiving notifications when 17” MacBook Pros come back into stock may have coincided with the fact that we stopped carrying these models altogether.
Even though these computers are still in high demand, Apple’s quality problems with them and their subsequent recall program and obsolescence made them impossible to support.

We will call you to make sure that that your are well taken care of and all machines are running tops!
