Service was excellent when it was John Lewis and plus net but as soon as b.t took over the service is shocking takes forever to load Facebook and other sites. If I could I would leave but I'm stuck with them until September or pay to get out of the contract. If you try and upgrade your account you are pushed to join b.t. which price wise is extremely expensive.

Such poor service. Third time I've attempted to close this service and I'm receiving messages about how I must pay them.
John Lewis service is basically plus net. John Lewis broadband is closing down, but they still attempt to make me pay.
Terrible service.

Had great speed and great customer service but as soon as bt took over Plusnet the speed is a joke if you try and update your package via the online part of your account it directs you to sign up for an other contract. I have found better deals with over companies but stuck with them until September. Shame if could cancel my contract without paying an early release fee I would. Avoid at all cost

Generally satisfied with the broadband until I came to move house. I had still a year of my contact to go so accepted that I had to pay over £100 severance fee After some confusion as to whether I had paid this or not, I received a text threatening me with with the bailiffs if I didn't pay up. I tried to discuss further with JL but they said it was in the bailiffs hands. The latter said no. Eventually I was told i had to pay an extra £25 to the finance company. I have wanted to pay the bill from the start. So JL have not acted well.

Had a waitrose account for years and then they announced closing service so transferred to plus net.
No mention that the email address would immediately no longer be accessible. How can they make you ditch a 20 year old email address overnight?
Absolutely in o prehensile!

I pay up front for John lewis broadband and was selling my house so didn't want to commit to an 18 month package as I was moving in 6 months. The monthly price more than doubled! I checked online and I am paying £46 odds online in advance and don't use the house phone at all so won't incur any charges. I'm leaving the house on 28th November and called to tell them but the guy kept insisting I paid in arrears (check your own website mate!) And that another £46 would come out of my account on 5th December. Essentially they are lying and stealing £46 from me as I'm paid up in full for November! My new house certainly won't be using John lewis or plusnet!

Personally, the internet service is i receive from JL Excellent.
I have an antiquated old telegraph pole POTs line to my house. I left sky because it was like dealing with a monolithic brick wall. Download speed with them was a miserable 20-25mbps at best with upload at a pathetic 9mbps. There were acknowledged noise issues on the line, that Sky seemed incapable or refused to get openreach in to fix. Then they wanted to double the price to nearly 50 quid! at contract expiry. So i left. JL (piggybacking off of Plusnet) were £28 per month. The installation went well. I also reported the line issues to them, & they immediately OWNED the problem, got Openreach out, whereby THREE faults were found on my line and repaired. Low and behold, my Download speed is now a consistent 55-56Mbps! & my Upload speed is now a consistent 16Mbps! This is about as good as it can get on an old twisted pair POTs phone line! Well Done John Lewis!. The connection is stable and consistent!

They cut us off when moving a month early as someone misread the month. Very unhelpful getting it sorted. 4 months later the refund agreed still hasn’t come. Every time you phone they are lovely and promise a call back or email which never comes. They update your account but as they closed the account you can’t see it to respond. Just the worse service and worst customer service ever. No joined up care. No one looking at the the overall issue. 4 months and a multitude of calls and they really have no joined up thinking. The customer comes last. Would never ever recommend them. I hate writing bad reviews but they have had 4 months to sort this. Just awful.

Despite telling customer services that I needed to terminate the service they continued to take payments. They now deny that I contacted them and in my view have stolen a number of months of money. I will never use them again and would not encourage anyone else to use them.
