    Absolutely awful customer service. My phone line has had problems previously and for the last 5 days I have been unable to contact tech guys regarding same problem . Been left holding on answering service for about 14 hours over the las 4 days. Vunerable 84year old living here who is shielding and the use of a reliable phone is essential. Won’t be renewing my contract and would not recommend company to anyone.

    Changed over to JL broadband yesterday and unable to get connected, customer service told me an engineer would ring in 72 hours! I need to work from home and obviously I can’t use a cafe. 25 minute wait to get through to an advisor. Massively regret making the switch

    Horrid customer service. You are on hold for so long waiting for them to answer. Message says they are experiencing high call volumes. Well employ more call handlers.
    My advice? Just switch and bugger them

    Please do not bother
    This is the worse broadband I have ever used. It does not work in the morning or evening drop during the day and the Customer service advice is to disconnect and connect again ( which if you wish to use it need to happen 20 times a day) Please AVOID!I wouldn't pay £1.00 for this service

    This broadband is rubbish, slow, and pathetic. My mother spent £40.00 for it.
    The internet speed is terrible. I keep cutting out from it, it goes off for no reason then 3 seconds later, comes on again. My mother is considering to switch to a better one. Avoid this broadband. You got my advice.

    Since receiving my awful John Lewis wifi I have had the worst signal, the worst connection and overall the absolute worst time. I would rather not own a phone than deal with the stress this WiFi gives me. I would never wish this on my worst enemy, that’s how bad it is. Me and my three kids have not been able to watch the new croods movie which is devastating to the family. I hope whoever created this wifi is having a great time lavishing in our wasted money, period

    i would not advise to get this wifi brand, the signal strength doesn’t go far and barely connects to any devices. I have a breakdown at least a million times a day because of the WiFi. My 4g works better and if I could I would rate this wifi 0 stars because it is very tragic and i really do not advise you to get it.

    Please avoid John Lewis broadband I switched from Plusnet not realising John Lewis is Plusnet. Should have switched providers within 24 hours but ended up having no internet for 13 days John Lewis did not contact me to update me. They came up with different reasons why the account did not go ahead so I decided to cancel and go with a more professional provider AVOID!!!!

    Within a week of being connected with John Lewis Broadband, the connection started dropping out randomly. This is a particular problem as we are a household of NHS workers and rely on home broadband when working from home to try and reduce the risks of catching Covid from hospital workplaces. The intermittent internet dropout is interfering with our patient care.
    I rang John Lewis technical support the first day of the problem. I waited 25 minutes to get through and after a few minutes on the phone they cut me off. No attempt to call me back so I had to call again waiting 25 minutes again. The second call operative sounded disinterested and said their systems were down so he couldn't test my broadband connection so he would have to get someone to call me back. That was 8 days ago and I've had no contact from any John Lewis worker since. On a couple of occasions I've waited half an hour to get through but was still on hold so had to put down the phone as I couldn't wait any longer. When I first rang them they sent me emails saying I can respond through their website by leaving query messages. I've left a query message every day since, and they've not responded to any of them. Their website says they respond to messages within 24 hours. This is a lie.
    Their website says that you can get through to them on 08000223300 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This is also a lie. I've tried to get through this evening and tried all 5 options on their automated menu system and they all say they're closed. You cannot get to speak to anyone.
    On their website it says you can use their online 'contact us' to submit a complaint. This is also a lie. Trying to log in on that website comes up with an error message saying "This page isn't working because portal.johnlewisbroadband.com redirected you too many times". I've tried on two tablets, my wife's phone and my phone, all of which come up with the same error message. Now the online query system has also stopped working so I can't send them any more messages.
    So after two weeks of being treated like dirt by this company, who are making themselves as hard as possible to contact, I would say avoid John Lewis Broadband like the plague. I wish I had never switched to them.
