    They are crooks charging you for services you don't want.that was a fight to get my money back off them only when I left a review on trustpilot they acted there speed is crap to when am watching something then if I put my Internet on in my phone it buffers had 2 stay another year coz they never sent me notifications when my contract was ending.now there charging me in March for the price increase in April.coz there bull**** says they invoice ne in a month in advance.so when I looked at my contract there now saying I rejoined on 31st of October another lie just to get me to pay more I had to rejoin on 14th October.this company is crooks and there filling up trustpilot with fake reviews about thereselfs how great they are when I looked they were 1.8 on scores a month later they went to 4 stars rubbish.and all they shining reviews about them and glowing references about there staff actually naming them.save yourself grief coz I promise u it will b if you join them.nevef ever encountered a company like them there after ur money hook or by crook the latter word being the right 1.slow speedslying agents and buffering like he'll AVOID

    Renewed at old price online in January but charged new price in February.. rang them to confirm that I had renewed at old price they agreed and said the March payment would reflect the refund that was due because they’d taken too much from my bank. Now the March payment has been taken and it’s even more than they took last month.... in all I’ve been overcharged by £33 in just two months... now it’s Easter weekend and I can’t get in touch with them and I can’t afford to put petrol in my car... I’m 71 and I could do without all this worry. I wish I’d seen all the bad reviews they’ve got before I signed up with them ☹️

    They will help themselves to money in your account for no reason they have done that to me in the past, they never deliver on the speed they promise, they will for a short period then it will drop off not even hitting the minimum contract speed, (which you need to get them to write into the contract because again they will try not to do it.) I've got their 550-speed package available at 230 MB speed 10mb below the contract 240 minimum. customer service your be waiting 20 to 30 minutes. they're very deceptive like offering you a discounted rate but when it comes to the April increase that can bill 12.57% of the original discount. Be careful, its not the fact it few quid but that adds up and if all suppliers are at it, if you are happy with them helping themselves, and they will it seems like a no brainer but it will hit a nerve when you catch them in your cookie jar, also they will not inform me of any price increase so this April its officially 8.8 % all the whole rate not the discounted rate which I got out the agent, , works it extra £5 pm for me

    Do not use this atrocious company. hey make it impossible to cancel the service. They're number cuts off after 15 minutes. They sales men lie on the phone to you. They're live chat cuts off after asking you questions that don't make sense. They essentially hold you hostage within your contract as you can never speak to them to cancel.

    Having been with onestream for 22 months i called them to enquire aboout taking an internet based phone line as copper is to be made redundent.
    Very quickly i was passed to new accounts and signed up for the package i required with no hassle and a straight swap of my account ( day 1 )
    Some 28 days later i still have no correspondence or hardware . I then had to take time away from work to call the help line that is only open normal woring hours mon-fri i had to ask for my new router to be told it had been missed and they`d send 1 out. Upon reciept i expected the usual installation email and details of my new phone number and when it would be active......Nothing so again i had to take time away from work to try and sort this mess out. Eventually i am told its been active for 24 days and try ringing it - i had no chuffin number to ring, so onward i go trying to explain they hadn`t told me to fir router they hadn`t given me a number blah blah blah 2 hours later i get a number and eventually i go home and install all hardware.
    My advice is if you work then avoid this company because they do not work past 5.30 or weekends so you can`t speak to anyone.
    Also they are totally inept at customer service and don`t keep in contact.
    Stay away

    Not the best broadband provider. I'll Move back to my old broadband provider. The provider did not include a hidden charge. It's best to avoid it and go somewhere else.

    The most difficult deceitful company I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. Contract prices are made up. Waste of time using the online help. My sincere advice is to avoid at all costs.

    Terrible company, terrible customer service. OneStream confirmed they were eligible in my building prior to setting up with them. On our go-live date, our services failed so I called them. They explained that there should be an ONT box in the building (they previously confirmed this and told us we did not need an engineer) but after extensive looking, we realised there wasn't. They then told us it would be 200 pounds to send an engineer and 14 working days, even though they were the ones who confirmed we didn't need one and failed to mention the fee! When I cancelled they told me I would incur no additional charges and then a month later I was charged 35 pounds for anti-virus protection. Run, run, run!

    I think Onestream need looking into, about how they treat customers when their contracts run out. They send you an email saying the prices are increasing and even though your ontract has finished, they still charge you about £25 in the last month and told me that I will be charged for leaving them. They make me feel too scared to leave them as I'm poor and disabled. Then say they won't charge it if you renew your contract at a higher rate than before. It says on the Ofcom website they need to inform you a month before your contact finishes and then give you details of their best rate, but if you ask about their best rate, they act dodgy. They even told me that I need to start paying more every month to hire their router, which is 3 years old and I paid extra money for what they told me is a super fast router when I first joined them, even though they now tell me that I don't have super fast broadband.
    All that is without a landline.

    nearly 2 months in and extremely disappointed. The router and live date passed without incident but I had poor speeds below half my minimum contracted level. Left it for a week or so to settle before contacting customer service who asked me to supply screenshots of the speed with various conditions, which I did.

    I was promised a resolution within 72 hours, then another 48, and another 48... and this has repeated ever since, to the point I'm still experiencing an unstable connection 6 weeks later with no route to a resolution except to wait longer...

    No escalation route available, no way to resolve the issue except being told to wait by incapable chat agents. thoroughly let down and paying for a service I'm not being provided.

    The contract says you can leave penalty-free if your speed doesn't reach the minimum, but if they don't try and fix it you've no recourse to start the process to cancel for 8 weeks.

    Furthermore, if you have an issue at weekends, or after 5pm, there's no customer service. Terrible choice and I'd urge potential customers to see what they're sacrificing for marginally lower prices before signing up.
