To say the service is P**s poor is an understatement, ever since getting the service I have had nothing but issues with it, I have to reset the router every second day, YouTube is useless at times as is iPlayer,Netflix and Now TV due to buffering.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS ITS JUST NOT WORTH THE HASSLES

abysmal broadband strength - & this is in Central London, not some rural out of the way location.
Insufficient strength to access email or google on several occasions over the weekend, let alone watch Iplayer, which were all possible with previous provider

What people have got to understand is there are freephone numbers that will get you to be able to talk to nice friendly people, hence the good reviews, but if something actually needs doing you have no chance because of an abysmal customer service infrastructure, hence the bad reviews.
And that explains why most of the reviews are split into these two contradictory camps.
I'm trying to switch as an old current customer to the new offer service, which surprisingly is allowed! But try finding the full and relevant terms and conditions on their website. It's about time ofcom got proactive on such things

Broadband is quick, but they seem to charge you for everything that is free with other providers. IE CALLER DISPLAY £2.36 PER MONTH, 1571 £1.06 PER MONTH.PLUS OTHER THINGS, So really their FREE BROADBAND IS NOT FREE, BECAUSE THEY GET IT OFF YOU IN OTHER WAYS (ROBBIN HOOD COMES TO MIND)

I've been with SSE fur about 3 weeks - speed same as bt- however broadband started playing up and home phone no connection. Wanted to call fur assistance as important weekend and family needing to call from America urgently. SSE phone and broadband no. ( yes it's UK based) but it closes Mon to Fri at 8pm and Sat at 2pm closed all day Sunday! Question, when does a normal working person need their home phone and broadband - for me eve after 7pm and all weekend - no service - no contact numbers - no chance of any help - think before committing!

Broadband service AVOID at all cost!
My contract date started 18 Sept 2015 special offer, 2 years free broadband £8 for line rental.
After receiving all paperwork, contracts, no router arrived. I was without internet for 3 weeks, my phone line didn’t work for 2 weeks and when it started working, there was noise disturbance on the
Telephone line, I couldn’t make any calls, because it was so noisy . On the 9th October I called the customer services and was assured that my router will be sent to me in the next 7-10 days and broadband will work. I was very polite, and a lovely lady at the call centre told me that she would fail a complaint, because I was waiting a long time. 12 days later, after 25 min of waiting to speak to customer service, I was told that my broadband order has not even been placed. That they will look into the fault on my line and someone would call me back.
Nothing happened! I called again after 4 hours, to the point when I got to speak to SSE manager assure me that my broadband will be ordered and to explain to me, that because e they source their engineers from BT it will take a while.
22nd October: I called again, to check what the status of my broadband service was. This time I got to speak an engineer, that told me because on the fault on my line, he will have to send a technician to physically check the line and the earliest appointment is on Monday 26th of October.
I will come back and write a follow up . I am in London area of W9 \Westminster, so if you want to spare yourself this waiting agony, call them as soon as your phone line is connected and check on your order status. Call every day – is my advice.

Broadband service AVOID at all cost! No matter how good the special offer is, it's not worth the hassle!
My contract date started 18 Sept 2015 special offer , 2 years free broadband , £8 for line rental( not Fibre).
After receiving all paperwork, contracts, no router arrived. I was without internet for 5 weeks, after my old supplier was informed and disconnected me ,my phone line didn’t work for 2 weeks and when it started working, there was a very loud noise disturbance on the
Telephone line. I couldn’t make any calls. On the 9th October I was assured that my router will be sent to me in the next 7-10 days and broadband will work. I was very polite, and lovely lady at the call centre told me that she would fail a complaint, because I was waiting a long time .12 days later, after 25 min of waiting to speak to customer service, I was told that my broadband order has not even been placed. That they will look into the fault on my line and someone would call me back.
Nothing happened! I called again, to the point when SSE manager Michael Frankland called me back, to assure me that my broadband will be ordered. I asked to have it sorted in 3 days as a priority customer, for waiting so long, he wasn’t able to do so.
I am leaving SSE , and going back to SKY broadband – had no problems with them.

I just switched last week so early days, but after using talk talk and BT, it a breath of fresh air. The switch over did not go quite to plan due to BT but when I rang the customer support no menu's, no holding, just right through to a UK centre who are brilliant. I checked my speed last week before I switched and it was about 7.00 mb in the morning.(I used 3 checkers to get an average) As soon as I had my line connected I re checked the speed and was getting 18-20 mb. How does that work as its the same line. Anyway, as I said early days but its worth it just for the customer support!
