Trustpilot★☆☆☆☆Absolute nightmare experience. Would not recommend.“I have been a STRATO customer for years, and the way this company handles its customers at the end of a contract is frankly unacceptable. The support process is slow, opaque, and clearly not designed to help customers in edge cases. There is no live chat, no urgent escalation path, and no accountability.”
