I have only given P.O one star for each category because there wasn't an option to give 0 stars! This internet 'service'is ATROCIOUS! I am amazed that they can get away with it. Their customer service is beyond terrible with excuse after excuse and never their responsibility. If you want ripped off, lied to and 1990's internet speeds they choose P.O.

I decided to leave a review as it appears only dissatisfied customers are leaving them.
I changed 3 weeks ago from Plusnet to Post Office saving £15.00 a month. The changeover went smooth as silk and I am getting consistently over 35Mb/sec connection speeds with very very few disconnections. Overall a very positive experience.

Great service. Change over was easy. So glad to be rid of talk talk. We've made 1 call to customer service, call was answered promptly and the agent was understanding, reassuring and knowledgeable. Really happy so far, not crashed once, it's only been a week but seem better than any other provider. Worth it for the comprehensive customer service. Oh, speeds are twice as fast as talk talk, whom they piggy back. Weird huh...

I have Post Office fibre. I find it very reliable with average speed 30mb. There is an occasional drop out but infrequently and then for only a couple of minutes. Customer service is easy to contact with minimal waiting times. Professional and friendly help from agents. I highly recommend this service particularly as it is competitively priced.

I honestly wish I could leave a zero review. I have just come off from one of the many many calls with postoffice trying to cancel as for 7 months I have had the most terrible experience. In the first 3-4 months I had barely any internet only to call them and they confirm that they had not funny completed the connection. A few months down the line having been struggling to just watch regular Netflix or use wi-fi on my phone without constant buffering or internet dropping....I've basically survived by tethering off my mobile. I call to request cancellation and told that there will be a termination charge unless I do a speed / line test and if it is below 10 Mbps - 17 they will cancel without termination fees. I do the test and get speeds is 1-3mbps. I call to follow-up and provide readings and get cancellation and they then start to deny that it was ever stayed that They would cancel without termination fees. They said they need to send an engineer. I've been promised multiple calls and return calls and nothing happens and yet I continue to be charged monthly for speeds of 1-3. I call again and the level of rudeness I constantly recieve is the most frustrating thing I have ever experienced. One advisor then say they will give me £54 if I stay with post office and upgrade to a more expensive one or otherwise I have to pay the remainder of the 6 months left. How is this fair when they have not provided a functioning service and therefore are in breach of contract. When I bring this up I get ride responses and it's like arguing with a child. I will be cancelling and reporting and resolving this through the ombudsman service as it is evident that they have no intention of helping customer resolve issues or cancel without getting money from it even without providing an actual functioning service. Please do no sign up as if you are trying to find a cheaper alternative it will just end up costing you more money, time, bring stress and it's not worth it.

This is the worse company you can switch your home phone and broadband, unfair people who talk to you as a customer service, they don't know how to manage, they don't care and respond about any thing.
I had a extremely bad experience .

Absolutely shocking. You'd be better getting a data contract with a mobile company and using 4G. Disgusting customer services to boot.

Laughably bad. I'm not one to write reviews or moan but post office broadband has been so bad I thought I'd try and spare someone else the ordeal. Mine has never worked & after 2 months despite (& I'm not joking) 229 emails, 20 calls, several letters & many social media post/requests no one has REPLIED, let alone fixed my problem. I know big companies can't please every customer but this is just silly. It's cheap but is obviously being run into the ground by its staff! I wish I just paid a pound more each month for someone at least mildly reliable.

The worst broadband I have ever used, customer service very poor, broadband service very poor, speed very poor.
The worst thing is I have not use my Internet for the passed 3weeks and am still paying for it. They have no engineering to come and fix it, And I can not cancel the contract because they are saying my Internet service is live and therefore if I cancel it, I have to pay £150, I have to wait until the engineer called me. This is the worst service I have had in uk. I do not recommend this service. I regret using their service.

NEVER GET POST OFFICE BROADBAND!!!
This has the be one of the worst internet experiences of my life! The internet was down more that it was on! At the of end the day we still pay money for the internet so they should make sure it works spot on. Fair enough it might be slow but there’s no need for the whole internet to completely stop working for days! I try and call customer service and they are soooo rude it’s unbelievable. They said it’s no upfront cost when you first get the broadband but they’re lying because I had to pay £45. I cancelled my account on the end day of my contract and I paid my final bill but now they want to charge me £30... for what??? They’re robbing hypocrites!
NEVER EVER PAY FOR THIS ABSOLUTE AWFUL INTERNET!
you might as well pay an extra £5 for something more reliable.

Have to phone customer service on mobile as you are charged on your landline(!!) albeit I was on their inclusive weekend phone package. Rude and contradicting call handlers. Luckily got out of contract as they put up price mid contract. Have gone back to Sky. Avoid these charlatans at all cost

Okay so I was with BT and my internet was acceptable at a stable 3.5mb. Not great for broadband and costing £41 a month I felt bitter, so I joined post office at half the price.
Post office was live and my speeds were exactly the same as BT. This lasted for around a week until BT switched off their service or however it works... My speeds then dropped to 0.4mb and is now the equivalent to dial up. Pictures don't load, video takes a lifetime and then cuts out a few times so you have to restart. Online games are just not possible and I feel I have been sold a product not fit for purpose. This speed is also less than half of the lower end estimated speed of 1mb. I'm hoping because of this that I can cancel this contract without too much hassle but I may be wrong....
My 4G on my phone is far better and I wish I was exaggerating. DO NOT DO IT!

When it's working, I get good speeds of 10-14Mb, however it drops the internet connection at least 6 times a day, often up to 10. Each time it takes 2-3 minutes to reconnect. The actual DSL link stays up, just the internet (PPP) connection drops, so the line is fine. I suspect it's their low-end Zyxel router, which they've already replaced once to no avail. I had a similar experience with TalkTalk (the same network) previously, which was fixed by an upgraded router. Customer service are OK, but I always get the feeling they don't really know much about the technology theyre' supporting. Whenever I ring them I get the same series of things to try, including testing my WiFi (which is fine), even though I give them a clear description of the problem. They don't seem to be able to understand the difference between WiFi, DSL connection and internet service. I've told them if it doesn't improve in 28 days then I will be cancelling on the basis it's not fit for purpose and they refunded my first month's fee while we work on it.

When it does decides to connect, the speeds are always as advertised. However, expect it to fully disconnect for 5 minutes randomly throughout the day. You may get lucky like we did and have the disconnects occur at the same time each day so you can plan your leisure time around when your ISP chooses that it doesn't fancy fulfilling it's job.If you don't have tin cans and string to spare, then the PO might be the right choice for you.

Please read this before you sign up to PO broadband. I wish i'd have read reviews before i did!
we all search for the best deal however on this occasion it didnt pay off. i have called several times complaining of slow speeds and poor connections. i get an average of 0.3 - 0.6mbps
i called once in the day time (a day off) and i got 1.8mbps
technical team told me there is not a problem with my line its because i use the internet at peak times, there is nothing they can do.i have 6 months of test data with low speeds that i am trying to use to get out of my contarct.
i would pay a few pounds more and go with a reliable provider, hopefully with fiberoptic and who doesnt heavily filter during peak times.

The speed ok at about 12 MBps but I'd be having really bad connection problems. I wondered if it might be a crappy router so I tried connecting my previous D-Link TalkTalk router and the connection stability seems to be much better (at least for the two days in so far I've been trying it out). If you do this you'll need to be comfortable logging into the Talk Talk (or other) router admin and adding the post office connection details. You can get these from the Post Office router back up file that you can export from the admin login and open in a text editor.

DONT BUY. Very poor went for PO as it was cheap, as the saying goes you get what you pay for in this case you pay cheap and get a bad service. Goes off constant and service staff isn’t that great either. I wouldn’t recommend this broadband service to anyone.

Absolute rubbish, constantly have to restart the router, the safeguard (while i agree in principle is way too strict) and too difficult and time consuming to even attempt. There own technician said on one of the many occasions of trying to sort it and i quote "It is by far the crappiest provider, unreliable and outdated service he has ever had the misfortune to have been in contact with"

Safeguard is blocking everything, even though it's turned off. Customer service is useless and won't reply to emails. Broadband speed is poor similar to talktalk.

This is an appalling service. Log in using password given does not work, so no access to any bills. Broadband speed under 1 mb per Sec! Also unreliable and not working at all at times. Customer service non existent. Telephone number given, through different filters gets you back to square one.

Absolutely the most shocking broadband provider I’ve ever been with. It’s impossible to stream anything, the internet goes down at least 4 times a day, forget about downloading a game on a console - it took me 3 days to download a Switch game and couldn’t even load Facebook on a phone whilst it was doing that. No use trying to get through to them on the phone and they don’t reply to emails. Don’t let the cheap monthly price tempt you, there’s a reason they charge so little. Currently been without any internet for over 24 hours! Can’t wait to cancel!

where to start I've been with the post office now for 13-14 months and they are crap the speed is slow the wifi connection is very hit and miss if there's one. and the customer service is the bigger joke ever. I've lost count how many times I've rung them to complain. they say the same thing and do the same thing ever time I ring them. they have blamed the bad connection on the router 3 times and sent me a 3 new ones and still it doesn't make a difference. so DON'T USE THE POST OFFICE FOR BROADBAND

This is the worst broadband i have had in past 7 years of being in UK across cities. The broadband was not working for weeks and then it keeps hanging. every week i had to calla nd they will ask me to take actions and it will recover and then next week start over again. The customer service is a lottery someday good someday bad. PLease avoid at all cost.

I would not recommend PO broadband to anybody, we have had an ongoing connection problem for over 3 months. Their customer services blame BT REIN team but won't provide any further information. They don't update us when they say they will, their manner varies between patronising, sarcastic or plain rude. We have told them we are reporting them to the regulator and they practically laughed at us, 19 phone calls and 3 months and we are no nearer getting a resolution. They have failed to provide a code of practice after being requested multiple times but they don't seem to have any problem taking money from our bank account. They have threatened to "release us from our contract" which of course doesn't resolve the fault.I cannot understand how these jokers are allowed to operate and I'm looking into options for taking this further.
Do Not Use!

So I got mine. I was dubious, but I am a bit cheap! I had read reviews and was a little worried. But it’s been fine. They said I’d get between 5 and 12 mb. I’m getting 10. I’m happy with that. Suits my family perfect. It’s hasnt dropped at all. All for £19 a month. All I would say is their customer service isn’t the fastest. I sent a query, took a week to get back to me and it was a very robotic answer. All in all though if you want cheap standard broadband, this fits the bill for me.

Wifi connection drops all too frequently using provided router to the extent that it is unusable most evenings. I have been given the run around by Post Office customer services, who never answer in less than 15-20 minutes on hold to no avail. On one occasion I had to take a day off work to wait in for an engineer and nobody told me that the appointment was cancelled. After more discussions I am now told that they only guarantee internet, not WiFi, like it's 2003 all over again... Worst provider I have ever experienced.
