    Shockingly incompetent. Months of grief trying to get the service working. 1 star is 1 star too many.

    I am extremely happy with my service from the post office the speeds aren't the best out there but I am able to use my xbox online with no problems and streaming netflix and youtube is perfect. The downloads stick at about 780mb a second but I'm happy with that whereas other people giving low ratings might not be I'm not speed obsessed as long as my gaming works and streaming I tend to be happy and all that has worked since the day i installed my router untill now 6 months later not 1 problem

    Post Office broadband is without question the worst broadband there is. You can't even connect a games console to it and you can't stream video or music without it buffering for 20+ seconds every 3 seconds. Also their so called costumer service is nonexistent. It is a complete waste of money and there are now cheaper and far better internet service providers out there. Do not waste your money on this truly awful service.

    Basic landline service, couldn't connect us -

    My father's an 80 year old pensioner, with serious health issues. He was left without the ability to make out going calls for 3 weeks. Engineers on pre-arranged appointments failed to contact him directly. He cancelled plans and stayed in for these visits. Clueless support staff did not address any questions directly over the course of 12 phone calls (20 minutes each). As others have said, they give you the run-around. Automated checklists / troubleshooting scripts in the post did not address any issue at hand. An engineer was required, not time wasting letters. Finally, their insistence on customers to conduct their own 'line tests' using mobile phones, demonstrated utter incompetence and sheer unprofessionalism. How many pensioners favour smart-phones? Why should owning one be necessary, for this provider to be able diagnose faults on a service they are supposed to provide?! Other telecom companies manage connection hassle-free within an hour, the P.O failed after 3 weeks. Researching the P.O
    online is revelatory, I'm glad I insisted he cancel the contract asap. Their customer care is truly abysmal and their service non-existent in our experience. Having an arrogant Nigerian on the other end of the line, a guy who could barely speak English properly, aggressively barking orders doesn't instil much confidence in a pensioner. Not good for any business providing coms service. Where ever you are NeWANAGU, thanks for aiding our decision... Please stay away from this provider folks.

    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 worst company i have ever delt with, customer service will not answer any questions when you dont agree with them. If you have a fault with your line you will pay £144 regardless if the fault is inside or outside of your property.
    They are liers and a bunch of crooks.
    Please do yourself a favour look elsewhere.
    I never had broadband with these idiots.

    I have been a Post Office Home Phone and Broadband customer for 5 years - the broadband has been unbelievebly slow but we put up with it because it was cheap. We recently lost all phone service so we called them - they said they'd send out an engineer (which they did) but neglected mention how much it would cost!!!! I was informed by the engineer that if they tried to chrge me to complain. Sure enough on my next bill was a charge for £144!!!! When I raised the query they said I had been informed of the cost when I called, which I hadn't because if they had told me it was going to cost that much I'd have cancelled the phone line as it was never used and we only had it out of habit! As I said we have been with them for 5 years never been late with a payment always abided by the term and conditions, and this is how they treat a good customer - by lying and ripping us off! STAY AWAY (sorry for the shouting but I wanted to make sure you heard me!) The way they treat their customers stinks and the way they talk to you on the phone is shameful - their customer 'service' providers are rude and the informatuion they give you is incorrect (and sometimes downright lies!). I don't care how cheap they are that level of service is not worth any financial saving.

    Never ever ever go with the post office!!! We were with them for 8 months and could only use the Internet for about 1 month of the whole time!! Constantly cutting out, would not send an engineer to check the line!! Then told us that another company had taken over our line and charged us a cancellation fee!! Absolute joke. Now refusing to give me my Mac code, telling me we do not have one!!! Avoid at all costs.
