We switched to Onestream as they offered a really good broadband price, faster than BT so we switched but from day 1 we haven't received the full service, constant cut outs for long periods, speed issues, WiFi strength is awful, had to upgrade to a better modem for an extra £10 a month but still it cut out every day multiple times, when called they honestly didn't care we had issues, this week on 5/10/21 our Internet was dead, wouldn't work at all, I called them and apparently it was working, they just thought I rang up for the fun of it, they said they'd give me a call back within 48 hours but it's now Saturday when I can't constact them now till Monday, I've tried on many occasions to get out of the contract but I've been given the constant run around and they will not let us leave without paying the rest of our contract, even though we haven't used Internet in 4 days so far, we've had to take up a new package & line with BT just to get better Internet. PLEASE AVOID Onestream, worst customer service I have ever seen.

Do not get from this company. I got a broadband for £19 P/M. Service was inactive for the first 2 months. Couldn’t cancel it. Then they started taking £23 each months. Speed is less than what they say. And after 8 months they started taking £37 per month. No phone number, no live chat. Totally fake

This is the worst internet company I have ever come across, customer service is non existent.
First they try to charge you all sorts of add ons that you don’t want, then the signal and internet speeds are terrible. I live in a 2 bed terrace and sometimes couldn’t get a signal right next to the box.
They refused to accept this and I was awaiting responses for weeks at a time.
Finally i decided to cancel which they were not for allowing and told me I was wasting my time referring my case to the ombudsman. I ended up having to end the call as they tried to strong hold me into staying in my contract where i wasn’t getting a service!
Now they are charging me £16 for cancelling my direct debit and a months bill (which they sent late and are now charging me a late fee for) after I asked for a final bill so i could contend it.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY
THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE YOU THE SERVICE YOU NEED AND THEY WILL CHARGE YOU FOR THINGS YOU DONT ASK FOR.

The worst company I've ever had the misfortune to deal with, they load your bill with extras that you are opted into without your consent. These are free for 2 months, presumably so that people will be unaware of the increase until it's too late, I only became aware of this by chance when I came across the dozens of poor reviews from people with the same experience. I'm currently stuck with a bog standard router I didn't want or ask for that I'm going to be forced to pay nearly £50 a year for and that at the end of my contract I'll have to return at my own expense. I was informed that if I want to end my contract early I'll have to pay the entirety of the contract in full.
Customer 'service' was just plain aggressive and unhelpful.
Hopefully this review can save somebody the dreadful experience i've had, as well as a not insignificant amount of money.

Onestream Scammers!! entrapping into an expensive package
---------------------
Stay away from this company, I am an existing Onestream customer caught up in their scam.
Don't get fooled by their cheap price. They charge for EVERY single thing. Everything is free for 1st month after cooling off period they show their true colour. They have everything written in Small print which you will miss.
- First of all, you will lose your telephone line as they do not manage the telephone. Meaning you will not be able to receive any incoming or outgoing calls. If you want a telephone service, it will cost you an additional £30 per month
- They give you £10 crappy router, which is of no value and poor wifi signal. If you want a good router then you have to pay an additional £4.51+vat per month to have it. It is called Superstream Router
- if you want any kind of Tech support you need to pay an additional £4.51+vat per month, it is called Onestream Assured.
- OneStream signs you up with a couple of subscriptions e.g. Macfee antivirus for 1-month trial, after that OneStream charges £35 for a full-year subscription non-refundable fee.
The total cost per month is
(broadband fee) £21
+ (Telephone service (only incoming calls)) £30
+ (router fee) £4.51
+ (Tech Support fee) £4.51
Total = £60 + vat per month

When I moved house they could not provide broadband in the new location. They then said they would cancel my contract due to this.
A month later they charged me again so i phoned them, eventually getting through and spoke to someone else who said they'd cancel it again for me and refund the extra charges.
Now the next month there is no sign of my refund and they have just billed me again claiming that my contract was never cancelled. This is three times I have had confirmation of it being cancelled and still been charged.

I should have left when I had the chance, but was persuaded to stay when Customer Service promised they would be ablevto make the broadband cover each room in my small bungalow. Again, for the 3rd year running, I'm not able to get WiFi in my kitchen and dining room area. I used to be able to connect in the garden and on the driveway, but this is no longer the case again. They sent a different router and then proceeded to charge me for it despite the coverage issue being their problem. I complained to Customer Service and was just told to adjust the band I'm on - which has made zero difference. Each time I walk from my kitchen to my front room, I have to reconnect to the WiFi. Not ideal, Onestream don't care because they are getting paid each month for a crappy service that I can do nothing about. I definitely will not be renewing at the end of my contract this time.

The worst company ever. Impossible to cancel your contract. Once your contract is over they ignore your requests to cancel. Takes ages to get through on the phone and when you eventually do they ask you to email and never respond and back to square one. Avoid this company at all costs.

Absolutely shocking organisation to be held to ransom in the way of an agonising 12 month contract. They have been fined by ofcom in the past which still didn’t alert me to what I was letting myself in for. They lied about ending my contract which I have in writing, they still sent me a final invoice which I paid just to get them off my back. You can only contact them via chat on ( get this) Saturdays between something like 10am to 4pm!! They send an email reply saying they do not monitor the main email addresses for customer services or accounts. The most effective way to contact them in this hyper techno age is by posting a letter to them via the UK postal system using a cute little voucher called a stamp. Guess what? It’s faster than their internet, no I’m not joking, a system that is over 100 years old is the better way to get through to them. Have they not heard of the World Wide Web yet. The clue is in their shocking service, don’t let them ruin your mental health as I did.

Extras added automatically, even when you do not want them. If you do not cancel via customer service, you will end up paying extra after "free trial". Just been charged for a whole year of Kaspersky security, even though I did not download it during my "free month" or ask for it.

Worst company I have ever dealt with. Offer you a deal then keeping changing the goalposts. Adding on extra charges for products not required, then after offering 12 months at a fixed price and after agreeing,they then add it has to be a 24 month contact and second year is double the price! Advised 14-16 days connection followed by an email saying an engineer has to come out first which will be in 4 weeks.Now trying to charge me over £500 cancellation despite cancelling same day I received details

What an absolute joke of a company. Currently on day 18 of no internet or phone line due to an outside fault. Have sent numerous emails including complaints and not had a response to any of them.
Due to their sever lack of customer service I have had to call several times in order to obtain further updates of which there have been none. With having a job where I work from home and require internet access I have had no option other than buy a £50 bolt on so I can use a mobile as a hotspot. When I explained this during the last call I was informed that they would not be offering anything towards the additional cost as a good will gesture.
Steer clear at all costs, they are horrendous and are not worth your hard earned money

Only giving one star because it's not possible to leave 0.
Absolutely shambolic company. 5 weeks without internet or phone. Not once did they contact me. Finally got services restored and then haven't offered anything in the way of compensation. Been promised call backs from managers twice and heard nothing.
The worst customer service (if you can cal or that) known to mankind. Roll on Jan when the contract is finished.
Do not sign up to then, they are useless

Criminals that need to be shutdown.
Unwanted optional extras that they don't allow to be cancelled.
Slow internet through out.
Over doubled my monthly payments at the end of the contract, but no way to contact them to leave.
Please, everyone in the same situation (I know there are many), raise your complaints as far as you can, including Ofcom. OneStream need to be shutdown.

Worst experience with a business I've ever had. 1. A "system glitch" caused them to fail to ship my router on time, their direct rldebit system repeatedly failed to charge my account and then they did not give me a deadline to make up the payment before terminating my account and billing me £300. Their customer service over phone is awful and you will wait over an hour for an agent. I once emailed a complaint and instead of recev8ng a response in 3 days it tool 3 weeks. Do not give them your business and tell all of your friends to avoid them. This company does not deserve to be in business.

In only 2 months with Onestream, they have:
Failed to cancel my previous broadband provider contract.
Claimed I had cancelled the contract and demanded their router back (before it was received).
Sent a wi-fi router based on 2009 technology, delivering a far slower connection than the line.
Dropped service directly before a bank holiday weekend, with no support available.
Not responded to support calls - mailbox full.
Live chat support refused to even diagnose the problem unless I accept a £120 engineer callout charge.
Threatened me with a £370 cancellation charge.
Not responded to complaints calls - their advertised number is just static.
Not responded to complaints emails - auto-acknowledgement only.
Avoid like the plague.

- I was promised wifi on the 5th of September, still no connection by the 24th of October.
- Impossible to contact them, unless you're threatening to cancel.
- They automatically sign you up (without your consent) to a £30 per month Kaspersky service.
- Charged me a £60 engineering fee in which nothing happened.
I was able to cancel my the contract as I was within the 2 weeks of the 'go live date' and threatened to contact the Communications Ombudsman.
Do not go near this company.

Hopefully you're reading this before committing to onestream, if so please do yourself a favour and spend a few quid more per month and go with an ISP who is more credible and reliable. Customer service is terrible, as is technical support, that's if you're lucky enough to have them respond, the wireless router is just awful, and drops significantly when in another room, inconsistent speeds from terrible to worse, what can I say don't sign up.

Strange but they add a callout package without me asking for it and then when you take it off you you suddenly get broadband issues. Internet dropping out and slow speeds. Tried to contact them today only to find their agents are all offline and the telephone number advertised on their website is no longer in use.
So poor please stay away from this company.

Dreadful. I’ve just supposedly gone live with this lot… They don’t work weekends and limited hours on weekdays. Nothing works… Trying to call them is impossible; you just hang on endlessly and then just get cut off.., or in the unlikely event that someone answers, they are just clueless. I’m going to cancel. What a nightmare.

No customer service at all, was just talking to them and they put the phone down, tried again an dwaited over 25 minutes and no answer. Broadband went off this morning again as it's constantly dropping out. Useless company and now told them to cancel contract with them. Deal was supposed to be £25 per month but regularly charged over £30.
Would not recommend anyone sign up with then

Within 3 days of joining Onestream, I knew I'd made a bad decision. Connection was intermittent and speeds were dire. Customer support is poor as only live chat is available. Fortunately, I raised a complaint within the 14 day period and they allowed me to leave free of any penalty charge. My advice to anyone thinking about signing up to Onestream would be to think again. I've been with Sky, Plusnet and EE previously but I've never experienced anything like the issues that I have with Onestream. Go elsewhere and learn from my mistake.

My 18 month contract with onesteam started at £21 in june 2022 and today it is now £33 without notice. The speeds are so slow i could hardly turn a page on google news on my mobile phone and the pictures often wouldnt show up. Roku stick didnt have enough power to work at all on my tv. If i could turn clock back id never have chosen this company. Often i have no broadband at all and have to unplug the router box . Im a pensioner on a limited budget im afraid im stuck with this mob until later this year when i can then look for a decent company for my broadband service.

Over a week late in 'go live' and virtually impossible to contact - can only phone and they are always 'experiencing a high volume of calls' so it take over 30 minutes to get through and still no satisfaction. Big mistake! Yest they had 4 stars on trustpilot but I don't understand how!

Terrible customer service and overall service. No email contact, online forms not answered, and waiting over an hour to get a hold of customer services who are rude, unprofessional, and speak in platitudes. Constantly trying to upsell you.
Did not follow OFCOM's rule to contact prior to end of contract and then try to enforce huge increase in price.

If I could give them a 0 star review, I would. Do NOT use OneStream as your internet provider.
I’ve been with them for 2 years now and they have just ropped me into another 2 year contract that I didn’t want to begin with. They used my vulnerability to their advantage and promised me stuff that they knew they couldn’t uphold. And now they’re trying to charge me 500 pounds to leave them.
I’ve had nothing but issues with them from the beginning. Slow internet, sometimes I’d be without internet for days at a time. This has happened several times. And with a severely autistic 2 year old and 5 month old who heavily rely on the internet, this is not ideal in the slightest. And when it did work, it would reach one side of my bed but not the other. And may I add, the router is right next to my bed. I’ve complained several times about the internet service I have received and have not received any sort of compensation once. They’ve only just given me a free month of internet because I threatened to leave them. Not only this but their price has doubled since I joined them 2 years ago which I cannot afford. Not once have they told me they were increasing their price like they are meant to. I haven’t even received a bill notification since July 2022. They’re beyond over-priced for rubbish internet.
When renewing my contract, I was promised it would be live within 10 days which would have been the 22nd of May. Then that changed to the 26th. Now it’s the 30th. Apparently the average time is 10-14 days but they didn’t tell me that and again, took advantage of my situation.
I was then told I could leave them within 2 weeks of my contract starting. When I decided to do that, I was told that was for new customers only and there’s nothing they could do unless I pay the 500.
The customer service is awful to add onto that.
I was told I’m a valued customer and I get treated like this? Disgusting.
Do not waste your money with them, learn from my mistake and go else where.

Stay away from these. The absolute worst company I have ever dealt with.
They were on paper the cheapest broadband provider so decided to go with them.
First con to watch out for is McAfee which is an opt out service rather than the usual free trial so they took a good chunk of money out for a years service through direct debit which is totally wrong. Had to phone to get it refunded which wasnt terrible as they did offer callback.
Broadband service was not good at all its sync speed was slower than my previous 3 providers. It was also very slow to load websites and found when doing a DNS healthcheck the primary automatic DNS was bad so changed it to use public. Bills went up with the usual april increase but wasnt at all cheaper than my previous supplier.
Then got the contract is coming to an end email with my account number. This allowed me to access the portal as without the account number I had to ring again which was not happening. Found it has enrolled me in some BT protection cost. Was able to opt out on the portal which I wont benifit from as defiantly moving provider.
Then 15 days before the contract end they send me an email saying my broadband is going up to extorsionate costs and there is a 30 day notice period. Phoned to cancel and no callback function this time. Waited 12 minutes of hold music then silence and they hungup. Rang back and it was an 18 minute wait and got the same silence and now on again waiting to be answered.
Robbing con artists.

Confirmation email states total monthly price. Company tried to add VAT to this!
Compulsory upsell addons not removed from bill despite having followed procedure. Further action to ensure this was necessary.
Inflation increase added to the notional full price of the product which was never paid. Original fixed discount then applied meaning that increase was higher than contract. And VAT was still added!
Resolved by discount back to original price, but so much trouble to sort it all out
