My contract/supply was supposed to start on Friday. It's now the following Monday late evening that I'm writing this. Still with no internet since Friday and absolutely no communication in any shape or form explaining what is going on. Technical support opened a ticket for me and that's the last I've heard!!!??? Absolutely unacceptable rubbish is what I've received from day one. They had a 3 week heads up for the switch over so no excuses.

I decided to sign my mother up for this broadband due to the promised internet speed and competitive price. The box arrived two weeks later and might as well of been made of paper. The build quality was shocking. Few weeks down the line the internet goes off, apparently due to a fault with the telecom box in the area. I get given dates when it will be back on. When those dates arrived I still had no internet. Same thing happened again spanning out over a month and they still had the cheek to charge me. The customer service is shocking to say the least. Staff clearly cannot be bothered to solve issues and would rather pass you around. Wish I read the reviews before signing up. Terrible service!

Shocking and Diabolic. I can't believe a company like this is allowed to operate. I run a business and had no phone or broadband for over 8 days. Customer service is disgusting and have still heard nothing after complaining 2 months ago. Avoid at all costs!!

Worst experience ever!
For starters, never even got connected to this so called "Broadband". Never received their broadband package with modem etc. , They booked engineer to visit my property to install their services, he didn't showed up. When i tried to cancel my order, they put me on 72hours waiting list, 7 days passed, still no news about getting my money back. Online Chat operators are useless AF. They are cheap for a reason. Don't go near them.

Worst experience EVER. Half the download speed tested before they took over, condescending customer service and try to rob you with extras you haven't asked for (Kapersky) that YOU have to cancel. Terrible company

Once DD is set up, they will put on some free trials of something for the month without consent, then start charging for it straight after. They don't email the invoice so the monthly charge is doubled for months by the time you realise. Then you'd be waiting for days and hours to speak to someone who says they will get back to you or refund, but they don't. Impossible to reach out. They literally ignore your request of cancellation (I have spoken to 3 agents) and make it impossible to leave them. They keep making up email addresses for claims, where no human replys. I sent the router back - it came back as "address gone away".

*WORST BROADBAND OUT THERE*
I honestly could not dislike a company more than onestream. They have the most rubbish internet out there, we've been paying £29.99 for over a year for their super fast fibre broadband and even when your 1 metre away from the router you're still on buffering for minutes on end before you see the page. They also have the worst customer service, I was basically called a liar when I had try to complain about the internet speed and I was told that the internet is working and is very fast despite not being able to use it.
DO NOT I repeat DO NOT use them for broadband. Save yourself the misery and stress, now going to virgin media for £24.99 and looking forward to it!!

Worst company i have ever dealt with in my life. Did a home move with the onestream a month ago. Still no service. One email from them 3 weeks into the delay. 8 phone calls (on hold 20 mins + every time) from me to chase and find out whats happening. After a month they give me another go live date but send the engineers to my old address and have to send the job back. Completely inept. Avoid at all costs

Absolutely diabolical, so much wrong it's hard to know where to start. I'm not even sure they have a customer service team as you'll never get them, apart from when you want to leave there use underhand tactics and renew the contract despite saying no. Chat service doesn't work and no response to the service tickets. Appalling.

When we moved to our current house, the previous owners had Virgin fibre and no TV aerial. However the bills kept going up and up. We sorted the aerial and therefore didn't need Freeview and signed up to Onestream. However on the day the BT man came to connect the line, it was discovered that Virgin had physically cut the line, the BT man wasn't "qualified" to climb a ladder and so we decided to stay as we were. We have had constant bills from Onestream. I have emailed to say we are not with them. They have agreed and apologised and said they have cancelled the account. Then this morning I get a letter to say that they will be taking me to court unless I pay £18! This is a Saturday and there is no-one there over the weekend. I am not doing a formal complaint to the ombudsman.

Unscrupulous, cheats, liars. Avoid at all cost.
I joined paying £18 for first 6 months and by the end I was paying £42 a month. Extremely sly price increases (burying announced price increases in the fourth paragraph in an email). Then no emailed statements. Internet speeds were often awful - not unusual to have 2mb download speeds. Then I spotted they require the router to be returned after the contract ends - again buried in an email which could be easily overlooked, and so I dread to think what the fine would be if I didn't return it.
Not sure how they're permitted to trade and sell their products as they do.

People should just stay away from this, nothing works fine, speed not half as agreed, wifi arrived a week late, nothing went well. You won't even have a "my account" section on their website to check your account.

2 years of poor, slow connection. Poor customer service, lack of interest in resolving slow connection. Now when trying to end the contract 2 months in still no resolution and the cost has doubled since the start. I would never be able to recommend this company. Worst provider of internet services I’ve ever used!

terrible experience.
Since it was installed, the internet is very slow and keep breaking. I contacted the company in one month and I have got a visit to find that the router is faulty and they contacted the company in front of me with this. one months awaiting router that was never send, so called company to cancel as I never had the contracted speed and not fixing the problem. they refused as they must get 8 weeks to resolve the problem ! of course never refunded the time with poor service as promised.
I moved address, still with no new router, to find out that engineers can't install internet in my new flat ( had 2 visits). contacted customer service and had a very friendly treatment and decision to cancel with no penalty because of exceptional circumstances and the customer service person even asked me to write a review with his name ( which I did ). I cancelled my direct debt after receiving email with cancellation with no further billing. had calls from the company few days after trying to cancel the cancellation ! even sending bill to my old address. and still charging me via backup payment which I disputed with my bank.
Literally worst internet service I ever had. Company doesn't honer their part of the contract by decent service, fixing problems or their own resolution to problems.
Would recommend more know and trusted broadband providers.

If I could give 0 stars I would. No customer service at all. They have increased my payments 3 times without any communication. How can a broadband provider not have an email address or support line. There live chat is never available and speed alot lower than contract stated. Still having trouble now after contract has ended

Customer service is definitely the worse I've encountered. They try and change what you agreed at the end asking you to agree. Very crafty!! If you catch them out, they don't want your custom and say that their credit check system is down and will call you back, but never do. When you ring them back, they have no details., I even got a reference and name from the original customer services operator (I had to ask for it!!) AVOID, THEY'RE ALMOST LIKE SCAMMERS!!

Tried to cancel been told it will take 30 days to cancel even though spoken to bt and they said they can take over the line in 2 weeks,constant lies!!!! Reported now to financial ombudsman and ofcom bunch of conmen!!!!
Still no internet,still no answers, honestly this company got the nerve to keep adding fake reviews, please stop it it's embarrassing
Well I would like to say it is not a good start to joining these jokers, firstly had to chase up my router, as no email, of any kind to let me know I even had a contract with them, cannot get through to there online chat keeps crashing,got through eventually on the phone. Eventually got a email stating I'm going live on the 14/04/2021, which is fine, that day came and passed then was told the 19th, that date came and passed,
Now they're blaming openreach saying a delay on the line, cannot give me a date, on when my internet is going live. Please don't waste your time with them giving them one day as I know for definite that I'll be calling them and hoping I get through to cancel my contract, appalling service

If you are thinking of going with Onestream, because the price on the comparison sites look good DON'T, it will cost you more in the end, before the end of my mom's contract, they started putting the price up, and now it's double what it was, and they charge you nearly £5 a month for Router rental, which i have never heard of before, you have been warned STAY AWAY!!!

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

If I could give 0 stars for this company, I would. We purchased our broadband in March and had received an email for the delivery and go live date of the 8th of April, the broadband package was delivered on this date and an engineer appeared a few minutes after to install the broadband. It worked for a few minutes, and then I returned to the property the following day (as had not moved in fully yet), and broadband was off completely.
I had to phone Onestream on the same day, 9th, to ask for them to have someone fix this. The person on the phone told me that they would get back to me via email to give us some clarification of this issue as our go live date was the 8th. No email over the weekend, so I contacted them again on Monday the 11th in the morning to ask if they had any more updates, the customer service advisor told me that we should expect an engineer out on this same day. Low and behold, 2 engineers did actually appear and worked on the fault for over 6 hours, the men could not have been any more helpful or nice, they also managed to fix the fault.
A few days later, internet goes off again, I phone to ask about this but it then turns back on an hour later.
10 days after this - we are completely without WiFi, I had to phone Onestream from the Monday (25th April) afternoon that it happened on all the way throughout the week until the Friday - constantly being told that we haven’t had a go live date yet (although, the go live date can be up to 14 days after purchase, this was now well over a month). We were also told that there was no possible way for us to have been using the WiFi before this time as we hadn’t been given a go live date in the first instance, essentially calling myself and my partner liars? We then were told we would have the new go live date of the 11th of May!!! Two months after purchasing their broadband. We insisted that they fix our problem within 24 hours or we would be switching provider.
Stay well clear of this company, I hate to complain in most cases, but this situation from start to finish has been an absolute shambles.

Without internet for weeks. Then charged £10 more than the price, 2 weeks early, after being told I had a month free for the loss of service. Doesn't connect to all devices e.g. ring doorbell/smart lights. No responses by email. Call center is only open during working hours. Live chat function offline during opening hours. When online, no agent is available. Rubbish service, worst connection ever.

Do not sign up with these people one stream, they will charge you with loads of hidden charges that are not made clear until they have your bank details. They then make it a difficult as possible to cancel. Their email is not even monitored.

AVOID...AVOID....AVOID
VAT added to all prices so what you see is not what you pay
After 30 days they pull the plug on your connection and you can no longer get out of the contract i.e. good service with no disconnects in the first 30 days but after that up to 10+ disconnect per day, absolutely rubbish service.
'No sneaky price rises' promise is a load of rubbish as they just put up the cost of items that are 'outside' of the contract like eve & weekend call package so you are locked into paying the extra for the free call extra or extra just for the calls as you can't cancell the main contract for the phone or broadband without penalty.

Got phone installed but haven’t had broadband working at all since I moved over a month ago. Useless trying to call customer services as after waiting 15 minutes each time I gave up, they don’t reply to emails either. Installation charges are a rip off for a service that doesn’t work. Service and communication for a communications company are shockingly bad. Switched to another provider with no set up costs. Avoid onestream like the plague!

Thankfully canceled service before it went live. I was receiving emails from them stating my details had been leaked on the "darkweb" and needed the McAfee packages. Was charged to C/C even though service cancelled. (Thankfully c/c company refunded)

Since switching to Onestream, have had very low speeds at 300 kpbs vs guaranteed 38 Mbps. Limited chat time until 17.30. Customer service insufficient. They have not provided a solution yet, other than offering that I pay another £39 for a better wirless router (which apparently is at a discounted price). Cannot recommend Onestream, go with an established provider.

Avoid at all costs! Hands down the worst ISP I've ever used. Mainly working from home, my partner and I suffered connection drop outs 1-3 times a day, every day. Onestream tried to resolve the problem by sending BT engineers out to us with an ominous message that if the fault was down to us we'd have to pay £££ for the call out.
The router they provide seems to be the source of the problem. Reading reviews of it it isn't really intended to be a wifi router. From what I can tell it was made in the 90s and costs about ten quid on eBay. It's not up to the job and its range makes it basically worthless. It also can't seem to handle more than 4 devices connected at any one time.
While TP Links solved the range issue, the dropouts were still constant. Onestream accepted no liability and wouldn't replace the router.
We've since moved and cancelled (thank god) and gone with BT. Haven't had a single drop out since.
I expect they'll be out of business soon.
