    If I could give zero or negative ratings, I would. Dire customer service, broadband speeds not as promised and additionally they promised an engineer to visit for connection purposes on signing up. The engineer didn't show up and I had taken a day off as A/L. Losing a day of A/L. When i phoned they said even though I had received confirmation of the engineer visiting by email, my order had not yet been placed! No refund of anything given for this and internet connection delayed by a month. Please guys cut your loses. Do not sign up with JL broadband.

    Customer service is very hit & miss...more so miss. Entered a fix price 12 month contract which some months ago increased by £3.15 per month. We also asked for VAT receipts to be e-mailed to be told that it was not possible & that we were not registered as a company but we are a company & DD comes out of a company account. Got absolutely nowhere with numerous telephone calls & despite being told that the contract price was fixed no refund has been forthcoming & John Lewis are still debiting the increased amount.Initial set up was fine but ongoing service is totally unsatisfactory.

    A brilliant company to deal with, cannot praise them highly enough. Competitive pricing and great communication.
    Not like me, but I will not be shopping around for a bargain this time, John Lewis have been so good that I'm going to stay with them for at least another year.
    5 * Service, thanks John Lewis!

    Don't bother, 12 months at discount price was fine, when it was hiked I switched, phoned up before and told don't worry, we know, I don't have to do anything, they took a months fee from my bank the day my new provider started, phoned, don't worry they said, it will be refunded, they said, a few weeks later rang back, apologises, will raise a ticket and get it back dated and you will be refunded, a month later get a mail saying they are taking next months payment, then get a mail saying sorry your ticket was never auctioned, phone this number, I did, they hung up, don't touch them with a barge poll, reporting to ombudsman

    Terrible. Takes over half an hour to get through to customer services, that is if you ever get through. Broadband speeds are terrible, and to top it off they increase their prices mid contract. They make talk talk look good!

    Quite possibly the worst experience of a life time. Paid to get out of the deal and run back to BT.
    Customer service is operated by my cat.... “well everything is fine from what we can see at our end’. Well it would be wouldn’t it, get down here an you experience it! Several (over 15) calls placed with tech support if not more.

    Don’t be tempted by these cheap deals. Really awful apparently they white label the service to Plusnet. If you do take it read the small, small print as you will get stung for loads of additional charges for call thresholds etc etc.....
    HELLO BT XXXXXXXX WE HAVE MISSED YOU!111

    Awful - do not bother or waste your time with this supplier. Speeds are poor to say the least, Internet unreliable to say the least, customer service just go round in circles with customers. I'm completely fed up with this supplier and wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy

    Broadband as supplied was fine and as expected. No issues during the initial 12 months. But once out of contract the price rose by 25% so I looked elsewhere. Found a much cheaper provider and moved. Noticed several months later that no refund had been made on the last months overpayment. Had to check bank statements, find my old broadband account details etc. Rang up Plusnet, the JL provider and was given some half baked tale about why the money hadn’t come through. A cheque has now been received. I urge all leavers to check they have had any monies due. JL distances themselves from the problem. JL clearly Happy to take Plusnets cash for the name association, but not willing to take the flack from the same association. Shame on JL. I expect nothing better from Plusnet.
