    Absolute nightmare of a company to deal with PO Broadband is the worst I have ever been with when I finally managed to leave them they do not communicate I think I owed £22 when I left I asked for a final amount owing they never got back to me. I was moving house at the time a few weeks went by and I got a letter from some debt collection company CCS COLLECT for £120.80 WTF It was printed on some tissue type paper looked a proper scam and came up as a scam on Google search they give you numbers to contact them blah blah blah none work no contact started to get phone calls from with held numbers phone was blocking them finally managed to answer one of these calls ended up paying £120.80
    never got a receipt but I have them on my banking app as commercial collect and guesse what just had a letter from PO broadband to pay CCS £120.88 well they can **** RIGHT OFF LETS GO TO COURT. DONT GO NEAR PO BROADBAND.

    Absolutely terrible broadband. Connection always dropping and no solution from technical team for 9 months to resolve. Switched early to Bt which worked straight out of the box...Avoid Post Office broadband

    Okay I cannot give a broadband reliability as it is so damned slow. 0.26 down and 0.19 up. I called on behalf of my 86 yeard old Father who was supposed to get 2-4 mbps down and no guarantee for up apparently needless to say I phoned they checked the line said all is fine they suggest I make 5 speedtest in a 24 hour period. On their advised site I said after testing what is ther speed on that line. OMG after saying its fine 0.26 down 0.19 up. Well I was fuming acceptable..?
    My Father has had this for 6 years paid 19.00 a month and the PO now offer 11mbits for 17.00 including landline in total he pays 29.00 a month for phone and internet. This is shameful and diabolical
    total rip off please do not use this service there are many better braodbands on offer

    Avoid at all cost. The worst company ever. They sent an engineer to install a new line in my elderly parents house . The engineer disconnected their virgin phone line and left them without a phone line. They told me to get virgin to fix it and it was nothing to do with them and it was up to us to contacts open reach ourselves. My father is 89 years old we went back to virgin and said good riddance to this shower. A full 10 days without phone yes even the virgin one due to their engineer. Unbelievable

    Genuinely surprised to read the reviews on here. Switched to Post Office from the BT monster ages ago and honestly had no problems at all. No speed issues, been totally reliable and good value. Customer service a bit slow to respond, but that's about it...

    "Abandon Hope All who Enter Here."
    Took months to get problems resolved. Many, many wasted hours on the phone. One example : Told me I needed a broadband engineer to call, so I arranged to wait in. They then sent the wrong type of engineer, who said I needed a broadband engineer. They repeated this error twice more !!
    Shocking incompetence. Never again.

    I tried other well known competitors for a 12 month Broadband contract only to be told that I need to pay (up to £100) for an engineer to come out re the phone line and, in one case, came in for a really hard sell in relation to fibre. I rang the Post Office and everything was arranged quickly and easily. No call out- they just swapped the line over- and everything else happened as stated; the router arrived through the post and the service began on the date agreed. I received correspondence throughout and, so far, couldn’t be happier!

    Having read the bad reviews i was sceptical, so wish id had listened. Absolutely terrible hardly ever connects to internet and when it does keeps dropping out or buffering. I live in a good signal area of Derby and only a few yards from distribution box so no excuse for it .moved on and gone to sky. AVOID.

    After 8 weeks, 3 engineers, 26 phone calls and 9 hours talking to their help desk we still do not have a working telephone or internet connection.In all those phone calls I have not once spoken to the same person. They appear not to have the systems or processes to deal effectively with technical issues. I will have to give up next week and try another provider and suffer the extra delay.

    Quite simply the worst provider i have ever had, if it ever actually works, it is so slow that i can easily make a coffee while simple non graphic intensive page loads up. The so called technician came, looked, and I quote, "your equipment, a laptop one week old brand new is too old". Damn pathetic, and obviously not well trained technicians. I rang sky, and have internet in less than 48 hours of placing my order

    I wish I had read the reviews first, this is the worst broadband I have ever had. Constantly drops connection, if it connects at all in the first place. Customer service constantly deny there is any problem with them although it has always been fine with other providers. Last time I spoke with them they said I was wasting their time and would have to pay to get out of contract. Do not, under any circumstances use Post Office broadband, I can't wait for the 12 months to be up so I can get rid of it.

    Had PO broadband for several months with no problems,running 2 NOW TV boxes in different parts of the house,suddenly had problem with wi-fi signal getting progressively weaker over a couple of days until I could only get it on my phone in the room with the router. Tried to explain this to customer service, asking for a new router. Spent 20 mins speaking to someone who was unable to understand this, told me I needed wi-fi repeaters....at one point she asked "how thick are your walls?" ...resisted replying "not as thick as you" and demanded to speak to a manager. Result,was sent new modem, problem solved. Told manager if I wanted this level of customer service I would go back to Talk Talk !!

    Totally not fit for purpose. Came off Plusnet who were faultless but it prices up so thought I'd give these a go. Had non stop issues with connections dropping and poor speeds throughout. Had engineers out, done endless speed tests and finally they're giving me a new router! Will be leaving as soon as I can, never to return!

    AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

    Surely the worst customer service, the worst reliability, the worst speed ? I could write pages on the problems we've had e.g sent the wrong type of engineer 3 times running, despite promising to send the correct one each time.

    Terrible unreliable broadband, and the customer service is worse. Tried to cancel an hour after going live but the 14 day cooling off period begins from when you sign up so they wanted me pay the full amount of my contract. Had it a week now and it’s gone off twice. Phoned customer service, it’s 50/50 wether they talk to you or cut you off once you have got through.Sat in last week waiting for engineer who never came, apparently that is fine, he may not need to come to the house and they don’t tell you your ok to go out. I could go on but you get the idea.

    Absolutely awful. Contract ends in a few days and it couldn't come soon enough. Working from home has been almost impossible. The last month haven't been able to stream anything without constant buffering. Will never go with the post office again.

    Unbelievable lows in respect of product and customer service. about 1.9mbps, may as well be dial up. Continually lie about giving you call backs to help sort out a solution. Mention cancel in contract and they immediately trot out that they meet OFCOM standards and as such there is nothing they can do. Clearly all agents are well briefed on this. Annoying thing is only under contract as moved house and remained brand loyal. Offered to put me on a fibre trial at more money to see if that helped. No guarantees offered though. I asked if this would start a new contract length, they said yes it would. So to attempt to get anywhere near a decent speed I have to pay more and gamble that it delivered, otherwise I am locked in longer to a more expensive white elephant.

    Warning - The people who answer the phones are lovely and it's cheap, but the broadband service is useless.

    Just did a speed test now and it downloads at 1MB/s!! I can't go through a Netflix show without the internet dropping for a few minutes at a time. Moving provider now that my year is up. Avoid.

    When I first began with PO a few yrs ago they were ok...a helpful Welsh customer service. This yr my internet has been off for 4 out of 12 months with no compensation. It takes TWO HOURS to get thro' to them by phone. They NEVER return calls. They ask you if you want to do a customer survey after the phone call. I always press YES, but there has never been a customer survey...I'm not surprised they don't want to hear the truth about their appalling service.

    I read previous reviews for the Post Office which were largely horrendous but decided to give them a chance. What a huge mistake! I specified that we needed to keep our old telephone number for various reasons - the main one being contact with medical services. This was ignored and after many frustrating phone calls to the Post Office I discovered that when I spoke to the agent on the phone he put in the wrong phone number which was subsequently taken away by BT and we were given a new number. The Post Office admitted it was their fault but said they were unable to give us our old number back due to technology. If technology can take a number away surely it can replace it. This has caused untold problems not only on the medical side but also because it was business number. I am totally disgusted with the attitude of the Post Office and I would strongly advise anyone who is thinking of taking out a broadband package with them to steer clear and not touch them with a barge-pole. Shame on you with all your promises of good service - its a total load of rubbish!

    Try using their Home Move service. I gave then 6 weeks notice. I then needed to change the engineer appointment and tried to contact them over 10 days ago. Despite repeated attempts I could not get through. I then sent them an email which was duly ignored
    I finally got through today and they cannot send out an engineer till the 5th Sept. This is the day I start work in my new job - hopeless.
    At the beginning of this year I was cut off for 3 weeks, a BT engineer had pulled my wire out of the exchange box. I have still have not had a refund.

    Mother in law aged 75 got broadband for first time from PO. Told would have broadband speeds of between 9 and 15 Mbps. She bought her first ipad and discovered her speed when using wifi was actually between 0.1 and 0.4, that was when the signal was strong enough to allow her to run a speed test! I spoke to customer services for her and was told she would have to run three speed tests over the course of a day and submit them. She did this and was then told wifi tests were no good as BT will only accept a test from a lap top connected by an Ethernet cable. I called the technical department to advise them she does not own a lap top and was basically told that was not their problem and in any event broadband and wifi were different services and they were not responsible for wifi speeds and people needed to ask the right questions before signing up. Bottom line was they would not do anything but would put me through to customer services who could arrange to compensate her as she was being charged from the 24th her start date even though she did not even receive her modem until the 29th. Held for customer services for almost 30 mins and then hung up. She is contacting another provider tomorrow! Can't give a star rating AVOID

    This is the first time choosing Post Office for my broadband supplier and I wish I had seen the reviews on here before choosing them. I too have had issues with signal drop out when my wifi stops working suddenly. I consider myself to be a light user of wifi and I live alone so cannot be due to to many users in the home. Also on launch day I was left with no internet for 3 days when they switched over. Customer service is slow, expect to be waiting on the line for at least 20mins before someone answers. I will be changing providers when my year is up. I would not recommend Post Office Broadband even though they are cheap.

    The problems started when trying to buy the broadband package on the website, which had a technical problem. The next issue was difficulty in trying to speak to an advisor as the automated system wanted a land line number (we don't have one). We eventually got through to an advisor and we were then given a date and time for an engineer to visit our address. Two weeks later and the engineer failed to appear. Another call to the PO resulted in an assurance that an engineer would visit shortly. Yet another two weeks have passed and no engineer has appeared or any communication from the PO. Needless to say we have cancelled our order. Truly terrible service and it is amazing the PO is still in business if this is what the average potential customer experiences. Not happy.
