    Initially when I took on this supplier all was well - the speed was acceptable and service reliable. However in the last 2-3 months the company has disappeared and does not reply. Instead it has instead doubled its charges well outside the acceptable levels. The service remains the same. If you need good reliable service at reasonable price the avoid this provider. It is not even operated by John Lewis but masquerades as John Lewis.

    If there’s one thin I hate it is people that don’t care when you are or,I feel hard Tom make money and paying for a service. John Lewis is an typical example of customer service that simply don’t care about their customers. It’s a shame because John Lewis scores as one of the highest in my book when it comes to providing thee best service in the retail sector. In the broadband area I can only assume they have dreadful management. Bad management always results in poor service from star.

    I logged this ticket because my broadband connection kept dropping. I’ve not had a single response back. It’s now under 2Mbs so I might as well go back to the days of using modems. Even worse is they expect me to put up with this and pay fibre connectivity rates.

    This is poor service at a new level and John Lewis should get out of this sector and quickly. I realise it’s down to Open Reach and there’re generally useless but an update would have been nice.

    John Lewis use Plusnet for the infrastructure.

    I will be moving to another provider when my contract expires. Shame on you John Lewis. I was expecting so much more

    This review relates to my sjohnlewis (waitrose) email account. it used to be excellent - now total waste of time. Totally unimpressed. From reviews here and on Trustpilot it appears that I am not alone.I would not want to even award 1 star

    I tried signing up just over a year ago and the whole process was a real mess. They transfered only the line but not the broadband. I ended up cancelling and transferring everything back to my original broadband suplier. Keep away.

    I have been with John Lewis Broadband for some 10 years. I have been a very loyal JL customer generally but I have come to the conclusion that they are sullying their brand by continuing with this substandard service. The speed and reliability is nothing special but tolerable, but the Email service leaves much to be desired. The John Lewis name in the address means that many outgoing mails end up in people's Spam folders, this in a way is not JL's fault but with increasing security it is understandable and would be dealt with by changing the domain name. Recently thanks to the incompetence of Plusnetthere habe been several outages and delays in mail, the last straw being in the last few days- we are now on the 3rd day of a complete breakdown in the service. Many Emails appear to have been lost and all in all I am resigned to having to stop using my JL address completely. As soon as possible I will kick JL Broadband into touch and move to another ISP.

    Absolutely appalling. Have now been two days with no mail. Managed to get some this morning but no attachments downloaded. Changing to gmail. Don’t touch this with a barge pole.

    My overall satisfaction is zero. I have lost count of the number of calls I have made to them over the last few months - but nothing improves. Some days I get no emails at all and the next day everything arrives together. Enough is enough and I have got a new email address and am in the process of informing all my contacts of the change.

    For some time now I've not been able to access my account online. I was told that it was a software fault and that they are trying to fix it, but didn't know when access to my account would be available. Not good enough!
