    Ever since setting up my account with them they have overcharged me. This month they advised me my direct debit had failed and so I rang up to sort this out. They took a payment from my debit card and also took the direct debit. Contacted them regarding the overcharges and the double payment and they refused to refund. The service isn't even that great - very patchy.

    To appreciate how genuinely bad Onestream are here is just one email in a string of communications between us:

    Written 25th March 2021:

    Yes, I do want a call tomorrow please.

    I do not accept your point of view. I am concerned by constant errors and poor service, and I don't appreciate your prior or latest written response:

    "...there isn’t anything else I can advise on. We’ve spotted an overcharge and have remedied it"

    Perhaps you could contemplate how poorly this, and your previous unclear written statement, appear to a customer.

    The fact is we've not been with you very long, but face yet another charging error. I am deeply concerned by the bills we've received to date all being massively over prior contractual cost expectations.

    As a result we have no idea how much we've actually spent per month to date. I have no visibility of the amounts of various refunds or dates of refunds being applied. I cannot assess whether credits have been applied correctly. I have no idea how much my monthly bill run-rate is or forecast what it will be. I'm frustrated by the contract tariff vs. actual costs and cannot easily audit cost variances to date; The billing errors, credits applied, numerous amendments, poor visibility of transaction dates, with no clarity of refunds, all add to the general chaos surrounding Onestream.

    In addition we've had to buy a BT home hub system to boast the WiFi signal because Onestream is the weakest home WiFi we've ever had.

    We can't get the usual caller display we've consistently had with other suppliers. We don't have a phone messaging system which has been free with every other supplier.

    I bought this service based on perceived lower costs yet in reality this is the most expensive and troublesome phone-wifi package we've ever had. That shocks me.

    To frustrate matters even further, the Onestream communication lines are a disgrace; the chat system is unresponsive and you don't take phone calls. I am solely reliant on this cumbersome email method.

    Genuinely I'm counting the days to being able to switch suppliers.

    In summary, Onestream has not provided a good technical service on any level to date. It's proving far more expensive than anticipated with excessive billing errors. Onestream customer services is not fit for purpose by any standards.

    So, yes please, I would like a call tomorrow.

    The agenda should include, but not be limited to the following:

    1. I'd like to explain my frustration your response caused and reiterate how bad it is to be one of your customers.

    2. I want a full explanation of our billing, credits, and refunds in total to date.

    3. I want a financial billing summary sent to us. Our business accountant can then confirm there is no mis-charging, that refunds and credits have been applied correctly and physically recieved to ensure there is no potential for fraud.

    I look forward to speaking with you and hope you can approach the call with an appreciation of how frustrating it is to deal with Onestream.

    Yours sincerely

    Keep well away from this lot!!!!

    I signed up for this lot but after reading reviews I cancelled. Nevertheless a router was posted to me. After speaking to a live chat member, I was told to send it back with the courier when it arrived.
    On 26 Feb I received an email asking for the router to be returned. I told them I had sent it back. On 19 March I received another email asking for the router to be sent back with a threat of charging me £52 if it was not returned. I have sent another email to them.

    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.

    Pretty hopeless on all accounts as far as broadband provider goes. An intermittent service, no ability to talk to anybody apart from over live chat. When you do eventually get through on live chat they don't seem to be able to fix the problem, or just deny there is a problem. The router they provide as part of the service seems pretty hopeless too. All in all avoid like the plague!

    Their website mentions no in-contract price hikes and it is a complete lie. We were on a £17.99 12 months contract and it went up to £30.98 within months. They are thieves...
    I couldn't even believe they get away with stuff like that

    Exceptionally terrible. I've been waiting 2 months for a service from them and they give me nothing but empty excuses time and again. Each time they promise they are doing everything they can, and week after week they do nothing. A truly useless bunch of wastrels. Avoid like the plague if you value your time.

    AVOID!!!!
    I am finally able to get on my computer and write this review......that's because today I finally left this god awful company and my old provider took over my connection. I have never experienced such dreadful service.
    NO phone contact
    Online chat was hit and miss.
    First 4 days were fabulous then it just went off and could not reach anyone. I never knew when i was going to be able to connect and work from home. They close at 5.30pm Mon-Fri and closed over the weekend - ZERO Help during that time, well zero help during office hours either! Could never reach anyone by phone, no reply to messages for call back. When i finally did get a call it was to ask "if they could sort this today would i consider staying with them" HA! I had been struggling with them for TWO WEEKS - 2 weeks it took them to try and rectify this and that was also a week after i submitted my cancellation form (from work as i had no internet at home)
    Absolute Joke of a company and Zero customer service!!
    AVOID AVOID AVOID at all costs!!!!!

    I placed an order for broadband and all I ever was an emil acknowledging the order. There was no router delivery and I could not speak to anyone in order to resolve the matter. In the end I had to go through my bank to get a refund of the initial payment. AVOID THIS COMPANY LIKE COVID19!
