    Placed my order on the 3rd, order was cancelled by openreach on the 10th, she’ll failed to communicate this at all, even when I rang on the 10th. Advised I had to wait until after the 14 day cooling off for install (absolute rubbish as plusnet installed within 2 days of order)
    Called on the 21st and was told my order was cancelled, no manager able to speak to you, no complaints dept takes in lunch calls. Useless company I wouldn’t recommend to my worst enemy DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!

    DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Broadband is incredibly slow if it even connects at all. I've been awake today for half an hour and it has disconnected 5 times already. Customer service has hung up on me twice now. Live chat person refused to investigate the issue and said the problem is with the router and sent us our 3rd router this year! They will not admit that their service is not fit for purpose instead choosing to blame customers. None existant customer service and unusable broadband. Complaints get ignored. I'm looking at ways to get refunded and I've cancelled my direct debit. I will not pay the rest of the contract.

    Ordered internet. “Installed “ on Friday, no service all weekend after many calls. Got an email on Monday saying we should have service. Still nothing. Called to cancel and will be charged £109 for absolutely nothing. Very irate!!! Don’t do it!

    TOOK ADVANTAGE OF A VULNERABLE MAN WITH LEARNING DIFFICULTIES !
    Inhumane and unethical practices - customer didn’t understand his basic Sufi would be DOUBLED in price per month at his new address - and even when family intervened and sent medical evidence that he wasn’t capable of understanding - they refused to release him from 18mths of paying a monthly DD he couldn’t afford - for a service/speed he didn’t need - during a cost of living crisis!
    A decision they will regret commercially and from a reputational perspective as it’s about to hit every newspaper and online review site in the U.K.!
    Avoid like the plague - appalling !

    This as a company, must be the worst in the U.K. without a doubt.First I had to contact the Ombudsman about the overcharging on my account which took months to complete,then I started getting intermittent termination on my Broadband when I swapped from one site to another they admitted a fault but would not change my Router, after terminating this service they wanted extortionate costs I had to speak to a manager who agreed to waver costs as I had never received a proper service as long as I waited a monthevery day we have had to RE-SET our password to watch our t.v.we are both pensioners and I am totally disablled.

    This is the worst internet service I’ve ever had in my life, I’ve had to top up my phone to use the internet because they said there’s a problem with their equipment but they want me to pay £75 for someone to come out to sort it out, it’s not my problem if you don’t do your job properly because I’m just paying for the services, not to fix your equipment, I can’t wait until my contract is over.
