Honestly really pleased with how this went, the whole thing took about an afternoon from first looking at the site to having the connection live in our new flat. I was expecting weeks of phone calls and it wasn't like that at all. The engineer turned up in the window they gave and got everything working before he left. Had a few questions by email and they answered within the hour, which I didn't…
Read moreCompared with my old provider this is a clear step up on the speeds I'm actually getting in the evenings, which used to drop off badly. The price is a touch higher than the cheapest deal I found, though it sits well below what I was paying before. Ordering was clunky, the form kept timing out, and I had to try it twice before the order went through.
Read moreWe needed a reliable line set up in my mum's room at her care home so the family could video call her each week. I've been a customer with them for over five years now on our main connection, so I knew what I was getting. The install was booked around her routine and the engineer was gentle and patient. The video calls are clear and nothing drops, which is what matters most to us.
Read moreI needed a proper connection fast because I'd just started working from home and our old line kept dropping every few minutes. Signing up was easy enough and I liked being able to pick a start date. The install went fine and the speeds are what they said. Only thing was the router took a while to arrive, but it got here in the end.
Compared with my last provider this is noticeably faster in the evenings, which is when we all need it. The price is a bit more than the budget options but the reliability has been worth it for us. Had a small hiccup when the account needed a change of address, the reply took about four days, but once it was sorted the rest has been fine.
I did wonder whether the setup would be a bother, as I am not very good with technology, but the instructions that came with the router were clear and easy to follow. The only small niggle was that the support line kept me waiting for about twenty minutes before anyone answered, though once I got through the lady was patient and kind.
Compared with the other providers I was looking at, the contract is shorter which is what sold it for me. Quick to sign up on my phone. The tracking for the router showed it slipping a couple of days, and I'd have liked a heads up about that.
Looked at three other broadband deals before going with them and they came out cheaper on the monthly cost, but the setup was quicker than the others quoted. The engineer turned up on the day and the router worked straight away.
