    SLOW! Disgusting scum deleting reviews on trust pilot to create a fake score of 3/5 stars everywhere else its 1 star. They are a marketing company posing as an internet company destroying internet all over the uk. NEVER BUY! They also having been stealing peoples email data gas lighting the lot.

    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.

    Unethical business practices - Avoid at all cost!
    I started on a 12 month contract with Onestream broadband in March 2023 and had to terminate my earlier in September 2023 as I moved out of my property. Due to early termination, I had to pay for the whole duration of the contract plus early termination charges. I paid all the fees and even got an acknowledgement from one of the staff members (Aston) that my balance is clear with no further payment. Out of the bloom on the 27th of November, I receive an email from Onestream asking me to pay £19.99 and again today (07.12.2023) with more threats that they'll take me to court. I even replied to their billing email about the confirmation of payment, etc but with no reply. I am absolutely guttered with their fraudulent practices of trying to extort money from people despite everything has been cleared out. It's disgusting and I regret so much for having chosen this company. They will do everything to manipulate customers - avoid them at all cost! I have reported this to the Ombudsman and will now expose them futher on social media. I repeat - avoid them at all cost!!!

    On Friday I returned home from work to find my internet service was down. I tried restarting my router but nothing changed. As it was after hours for the customer service line, I decided to wait until the next morning to see if it resolved itself. The next morning it was still out, so I dug through the website (which makes it extremely difficult to find a way to contact the company) until I found the customer service number and gave them a call. They told me that, as it was the weekend, no technicians were available so I'd have to wait to the middle of the next week to get anyone out. Frustrating to go several days without internet, but I was assured the time I was without service would be factored in to my next bill.

    On Monday I got notice that a technician would be sent to my flat Wednesday morning and I needed to be there from 8 am - 1 pm to meet them. That meant taking time off of work, but I needed my internet service restored, so I arranged it with my employer.

    Wednesday morning, I get a message that a technician is on their way to me, and giving me their contact number. I wait several more hours, but as it gets closer to 1 pm, I'm nervous that I might not be able to get to work on time if they take longer than expected, so I ring up the technician. What do they tell me? "I'm in Scotland, nowhere near you, I don't know why they told you I'd be there today."

    Fuming, I ring OneStream. "We don't know why your order was sent to someone in Scotland, a mistake must have been made somewhere along the line." Can I get another technician today? "No, we don't have any contact with the technicians, OneStream employs them." So what do I do? "Someone will be in touch by the end of the week."

    So now I still have no internet service, I've wasted my morning and had to use my time off for no reason, I'll have to use MORE time off whenever they finally get someone to come out--IF the next person they send actually comes--and no one can help me because no one I've spoken to is actually responsible for anything.

    I've been a customer of OneStream for less than a month. This is absolutely unacceptable and if they can't get my service turned back on, I'll be cancelling and going with another provider. I know they'll hit me with an early cancellation fee, but honestly it would be worth it to get my services from someone who doesn't treat their customers this way. Disgraceful.

    Worst possible experience I have had with any provider. This is one of the most opaque operators I have ever come across. I had signed up by phone. A couple of unnecessatlry 'extras' were added that one could cancel by phoning customer service in the first month. Excepet customer service never answers the phone. There is no email access. To setup internet account one needs account no. which is never provided in any email they send you, which only include order no. So cancelling the service during the cooling off period is impossible. Once I got through but the person on the other end of the phone was most unhelpful. I asked to cancel all extras, but still got billed for totally ridiculous, unwanted antivirus. Had to fight through my bank to get my money back. The reduced broadband rate on offer was meant to last the whole year but rate was hiked after 3 months. It is not made very clear that one needs to give a month's notice to quit even when the contrat finishes. If customer service emails you, you can't use the reply function. The router (a very basic one), has to be returned within 2 weeks of end of contract, otherwise you will be billed £50.00. They aren't registered with ofcom, so some basic transparency is not provided.I am just glad that I am finished with this company.

    My cheap rate (£37) was due to run out on 11 Dec and I had an email telling me to "click here" to renew for £29. So I did, and then got an email saying the charges were £37 as I had to pay to upgrade my router and pay an additional fee for "Onestream Assured", which would mean I was guaranteed help if I needed it. Thought that would have been included as customer service, but never mind, I was cross that I had been cheated by an inflated price that I called to cancel my subscription. Got put through to an chap called T****r, who spent around 50 minutes trying to talk me into not leaving. He said he would honour the £29 as it was a great deal and I wouldn't find cheaper, and he got annoyed when I said I wanted to shop around first, saying I wouldn't find anything cheaper and what a great deal I was getting. I felt pressured into renewing. So, I agreed, but then looked online at other deals to see that I could get one for £13.99 and even Onestream was offering new customers deals for £20. At this point I rang back to cancel and was put through to T****r again.
    He wouldn't take no for an answer, even after he said "if I offered you it free for a year would you stay?". I felt totally bullied, but stood my ground and was told I had to give 30 days notice so my cancellation date was 21 Dec. I'm guessing the first part of the call wasn't recorded as we got cut off and he called me back and wasn't being rude or aggressive, just pushy. I cancelled. Then I got an email saying I would incur cancellation fees of £622 (yes, more than six hundred pounds) or I could "click here" to stay with Onestream.

    Seriously NOT happy with this service.

    Have since spoken to a very helpful lady in Retentions called L**y. Probably would have stayed with Onestream if I'd have spoken to her in the beginning. Overall a very stressful experience.

    Buyer beware!!!! Shocking company, worst Customer Service. Impossible to get through I waited for over 3 hours only to have my call hung up. I spent over 4 days trying to cancel my account. My online account wouldn't allow cancellation??? Call handlers are obnoxious. Had e-mails threatening bad credit on my file despite being fully paid up - utter shambles of a company. They added random Admin fees to my eventual account closure because I stopped my DD from allowing them to take more money from me. Broadband itself was unreliable!!!
