AVOID!!!!
Absolute shambles of a company. Signed up to their 'Fixed and fibre' package, which was to include energy supply (electric and gas) as well as broadband. The energy tariff wasn't the cheapest available to me, but with the discounted broadband price it worked out pretty well. However I have now come to realise this was all too good to be true. I have now been waiting around 3 months for my broadband to 'go live'. This includes multiple visits from engineers and hours on hold on the phone to multiple people repeating the same story over and over and over. Every time I call they say 'we need an engineer sent out', then the engineer comes out and tells me everything is fine and tests it to make sure. Then I have to go back to SSE and repeat the whole cycle again. I am now currently on my 4th or 5th 'Go live' date with yet again no broadband. I could of went with another company and had internet in my property by now. I would warn anyone considering SSE as supplier to stay well clear. Not worth the hassle!

SSE try to be helpful but speed is dreadful. Was better off with Plusnet but they put their price up too much which made me change.

Couldn’t ask for better customer service. There were problems, which were down to the wholesalers, Daisy, and I had to wait 2 weeks past my connection date, but this would have happened with whoever I went with. The difference was whenever I called SSE they were lovely. They gave me £5 off the first month for the inconvenience and I didn’t pay a penny till it was sorted. The connection is great, once the 2 week testing period was over and although I chose the standard broadband, not fibre, it has been perfect, even when watching YouTube and BBC iPlayer in a town house, the coverage is brilliant. I highly recommend them.

Haven't even been able to get started with SSE broadband. Good communication while you're signing up but doesn't extend past this. I was given a 21 day wait start up time, lengthy but fair enough. Date comes and goes with no notification. Get a call a few days later saying they actually cancelled the order because of an admin error but will restart it. 10 days till start date, that then comes and goes. Phone them up, "oh just another 4 days" with no explanation. Another 4 days past this, phone them up once again, "That data got changed again, it'll be another two weeks, nothing I can do".
I can deal with disappointing wait times but to not even phone, email, text me to say these massive delays are coming, unreal.

SSE - the worst experience I ever had. I was attracted to the low monthly cost, about 20 quid. However, the consistent signal drop for 30 sec to 1 minute renders Netflix and Amazon useless. I experience that loss of signal when banking on-line!
I spoke to them, they gave me a pep talk about "you live in a congested area " and nothing else happened. Well guess what SSE? The traffic will only continue to grow. I feel like they are still in the nineties.
Imagine watching GOT and the fly of the dragons are frozen ... Relaunch Netflux ... Go back to "Resume" ... :))) pretty cool eh?
My advice to everyone reading this: avoid SSE broadband like a plague.
Horrible.
They are either a bunch of incompetents or a bunch of cheap corporate mongers practicing "traffic management". Pay up a tenner more for anyone out there and have proper internet, proper service.

The broadband keeps on cutting out. Also very slow speeds.
Had Sky before and wish I had stayed with SKY. Huge mistake to get SSE. AVOID

I had SSE broadband for about 4 or 5 weeks and speed seemed ok but noticed in the mornings I had sometimes dropped the connection. Then after about 7 weeks it began to get annoying. This never used to happen on Sky, plusnet, talk talk, all of which I had used successfully, especially Sky. Phoned customerservices and spoke to a very attentive Lucy who tried various things and I seemed to have a stable and fast connection for couple of days. Then it started dropping again. Lucy in the meantime recalled me as promised to check progress. It was acknowledged something was wrong and SSE arranged for Openreach to come and check my line out. They found no fault, but did update master socket. But low and behold I have had continuous service ever since. Lucy called me back again as promised to check progress and arrange for outage credit. All in all very happy, and fair dues, customer service very attentive.

RE what Greg Forrest, Consett, SSE 2019-05-11
This you wrote I have a few times and worse it seems this is the way SSE do business. They must be trained to do it this way.
'The Part of your post I refer to'
When i spoke to Rachel an arguement took place and i explained that if i had to pay the fee after all the issues that i wouldnt continue with SSE. She assured me i didnt have to pay any fees and the previous advisor was incorrect. She took no responsibility for any of the previous issues raised apart from the automated line complaint .A month later i checked my bill online and what do you know a £60 connection fee charge added to the bill , i rang straight up to try n speak with Rachel , she wasnt availiable and hasnt been ever since that moment and along with that she pretended as if none of what she said previously had even took place!
But you should know even when take a contract with them on the sales line. You ask something and in conversation ask something else they will over talk you in louder voice to drown what you ask until they finish talking. They always want and need to be the alpha it seems. Not that your competing why should you when you can end the call and get another provider. That is unless you have already signed up.
Do they also still talk through the whole contract which can take upto 2 hours to do. No other service does that and you don't listen either so what is the point. They go on and on and on bla bla f'ing bla yawn zzz !!!
