Helix Customer Service is Top Notch. Full Stop

by Past_Elephant

Helix Customer Service is Top Notch.

For all the crappy customer service out there, Helix excellent customer really stands out.

This review is purely about the customer service aspects of Helix. You can read my original review here.

As you can read from my original post, I subscribe to Helix. Ignoring the stream quality, channels, which you can read in my review, I want to focus on Helix customer service.

So as many of you know Helix is a provider and not a reseller. The general rule of thought is that resellers provide better customer support than providers since they can focus on a smaller subset of customers. Some how Helix manage to defied the odds (which I imagine has a lot of customers now) is very response to customers. Quote impressed

Couple of points

Payment Taking - This can be a challenge for all providers there is not a lot of Paymnet processors for IPTV will take payments. This is where resellers have the advantage since they can fly under the radar. Helix has found ways to work around this and has multiple ways of taking payments. Not going to lie, for PeeeeeeePal, you do have to go to another site.. but it works. They also added another payment processor besides that crappy EPayouts recently. I like their ongoing effort.

Forums/Chat/Facebook - NONEXISTENT! At first, I was like WTF. How am I going to get help? Then I started thinking.. when has those items really helped me? None really.. most of the time it is with customers dueling with each other or staff fighting customers. I don't need that in my life. Helix offers a twitter and tickets.. and when you thinking about it.. that is really all I need. I do not want to hear about some jackass missing their favorite footie (don't care).

Give me an annoucement of issues on twitter and if there is no annoucment I will open a ticket.

Response Time to Support Request - This part is exceptional. They have staff 24/7 I have gotten responses in all times during the day and night. Usually within 1 hour. I belive they have 7-10 people just manning tickets between their sites. I rememeber having an issue during Christmas day and I got a response within a hour... insane.

Customer abuse - NONE. I seen some many provider get call out about customer abuse here. Most are run by jerks. Disagreements between customers and providers get heated and the provider resorts to name calling and we event have idiot provider DOX their customers. I don't care if they have the best streams out there.. If I get disrespected or privacy threatened., they will NEVER get a penny from me.

As for HELIX, they are in a different class. I have seen NO ONE complain about customer service from Helix. They seem to be run by a set of professionals who respect their customers. Clearly a service that is set on providing good customer service that sets them apart.

Honestly I am impressed.. so much to a point where I might be looking to resell their product. Havent' decide but even if i do not resell, it is a bit of a discount for me long term.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Well tbh Helix is so reliable I've never had to use their support. Which is nice.

uncbuk

u know if they have an IP lock in place on all their services?

FazerMan1960

Above all true - amazing!

I keep trying new providers in the quest to somehow find one better than Helix. Can't be matched in terms of Catch up alone. Think I'll eventually make it my first choice .

AutomaticAudience

does it matter to a provider like helix if I theoretically were to watch HD streams 24/7?

Should I feel bad about paying 11 bucks and leaving the stream running 3-5 hours a day?

CertainSB

I've only used them for a day but their responsiveness has been excellent and the amount of info on their site is top notch as well.

From what i can tell helix is not original provider but a whitelabel super seller of another service. Meaning they have slight changes from original provider.

i was looking for a test but only option seems to be a credit card payment option. very wary of giving me card details to anyone.

SixDerv1sh

Use them as well - had questions of support, quick, correct responses.

And their Twitter feed is good to learn about outages. etc.

conqug

couldn't agree more, i been with them a long time. was referring so much family and friends for convience i started to resell. never have any issues.

i resell helix + another provider. both offer shit hot services but helix just pips to my no1 source due to the catchup they have, nothing better than waking up and just putting bt sport fhd catchup and getting the previous night UFC :) not to mention if any of the catchup channels fail and you are desperate to watch a particualr event the guys over at helix can add it to sports events within a few hours if you ticket them :)

catchup alone for ufc and f1 make reselling to friends and family easy as pie :)

+1 for the Customer Service. A main docs channel I watch went down, submitted a ticket and within the hour they fixed it and sent a reply apologising and thanking me for contacting them.

None really.. most of the time it is with customers dueling with each other or staff fighting customers. I don't need that in my life

I hear that. I went through the support system on one particular provider, I raised a case about charges still being made while not receiving any service. This was after being emailed to say they would cancel the recurring payment. The conversation started with them throwing insults about me being lazy and stupid for not cancelling the payment myself, then how they were flush with money so my money meant nothing to them and degenerated to the point at which they were intimidating me/my family with "we know where you live" type threats.

Helix support on the other hand were really friendly and helpful when my service suddenly appeared to have stopped. It turned out the problem was down to me getting a replacement credit card and not updating my details with Helix. They got me back up and running and I'm happily watching their service as I type.

I've been using helix for a few months, I haven't NEEDED customer service yet so I suppose thats a plus? Either way they've been pretty solid minus a few brownouts here and there.

Applehacker79

beadvised22
