New problem with severe lag
Been using Grasshopper with Desktop App for years now, and love it. Sometime in September 2024, I began having severe problems with voice lag. I've contacted Grasshopper support, whose only suggestion was to delete the app and reinstall it, which did not fix the problem. I brought in a completely different computer for testing this problem, and newly installed the app, and still have the problem on both computers. Here's details.
Computer 1
Desktop, wired internet connection. 16GB RAM, Windows 11. Speedtest indicates speeds over 480Mbps. CPU usage on task manager is minimal, even during lag. Memory usage maxes at 52% of available memory, even when lagging according to resource monitoring.
Computer 2
Laptop, wifi connection. 16GB RAM with 15.7 available. Windows 10. Latest Grasshopper desktop app downloaded. Same lagging.
Note that the lag doesn't begin at the start of the conversation. It will only start after 20 minutes of conversation, then is extreme, to the point that conversation becomes challenging.
I need help asap, this is interfering with my ability to talk with patients.

Same for me. If instead of denying that there was a problem Grasshopper had told us that they would investigate the problem, I would have waited but instead, I said take my own means by going to a competitor. I am very happy to see that the problem is solved for those who are still with Grasshopper, but in my case it is too late. You have lost me as a customer and I will not recommend Grasshopper. I hope that Grasshopper will learn from these mistakes and will offer a better service.

I switched to RingCentral - and then I see these posts as well that supposedly it is now fixed.
Day late and dollar short. This had massive impacts to my business - and customer service / tech support was worthless.
No refund here either. This is so beyond frustrating.
To be honest, I'm glad I moved on.

Dear Kate,
For 2 months, I've wasted hours of my time trying to convince grasshopper there was a problem in your software. I kept getting blamed. I got a new modem, got all new cables reinstalled with new connectors, and I mean from the street to my home, not just a little modem cable. I lost business due to not being able to have telephone conversations. I spent hours explaining, and re-explaining, the problem starting from scratch too many times to count because nobody at grasshopper would maintain notes or constant thread, you kept flowing it off. I started this forum thread, I did call logs. So I finally had to change my service since I could no longer use grasshopper to make phone calls. So this morning, my final porting completed to a new service. I canceled my grasshopper account late this afternoon. I was told tough luck on 6 months of prepaid money, no refund available because you still said it was my fault.
Within an hour of my cancellation, I get this email from you. I demand a refund of the prepaid money. I should send you an invoice for all of my hours of time and effort trying to convince you that you had a problem that needed to be fixed. Now you admit that you fixed the problem you kept denying. Please advise when I will get the refund issued. - flashscuba11 months agoActive Contributor
My porting literally completed earlier today, and I canceled my grasshopper account. Then this evening I got the email that they fixed it with an update. This is after they refuse to refund me the rest of my prepaid account money because they kept blaming me for the problem. They will be getting a letter for sure.

We've had couple 20+ minute calls that experienced no noticeable lag yesterday and today so I think this issue has been resolved

Good luck to all of you. I'm on Open Phone now, porting when through easily.

I would recommend contacting our support first about canceling your account and porting your numbers
