    Switch over to first utility when i realized what i was really paying for my broadband and phone connection.
    Connection is good and has never failed since the switch.
    Excellent value and a great saving.
    :) :)

    Awful, awful broadband!!! I never usually leave bad reviews but I feel I should on this occasion. Like other reviews we were told when we changed over it'd be the same speed as our original supplier but cheaper. It's absolutely disgusting. So bad sometimes netflix won't load properly. Customer services are a disgrace as well on the phone for nearly 50 minutes then was told basically there's nothing wrong with the speed, sent us a speed checker of theirs and same speed as the test we done! Oh and when I used the ring back service no one rang back, I've reported this company to the ombudsman, I don't see why we should be paying for a service we aren't receiving.

    good solid connection and a lot cheaper as there's no TV advertising to pay for.BT spend the most on advertising so this accounts for the big price difference.
    Looking forward to saving thousands over the next ten years plus.
    If you don't switch you will never know or save.

    The worst service I have ever received.
    If there was an option for less stars I would.
    I am currently sorting a complaint that has gone on for 6 + months. This has now gone to the highest possible complaints department apparently, yet no resolution.
    They informed us our meter was broken and they would have an engineer out to fix it. Took 1 month to get the engineer and two call outs to fix a new one. (Engineer confirmed to us that it is broken).
    We still carried on paying monthly as we were of course using energy. They have now got a an extortionate outstanding bill from when the new meter was fitted. They have estimated what we use now to what we have had before and charged accordingly. Even though there in no way of proving how much we used.
    I argued this case and First Utility said that the meter wasn't broken and we are using roughly the same amount now as the meter reading were showing before (in actual fact were using slightly less now going by their theory). Trouble is we have significantly more appliances so you would expect our amount to be more now. There is no way of proving how much we have used as the meter was faulty so how can they charge us this estimated amount.
    Unreasonable and UNHELPFUL - constantly going round in circles.
    Having to call and chase the updates twice a week on the phone for 45 minutes at a time. COMPLETE WATE OF TIME! Just want the debt cleared so I can move on with another supplier ASAP!
    First Utility push back each phone call to next week. Always asking for more meter readings on each call after giving them over and over again. Wanting more time too look at our case because its gone on for so long!
    At a loose end with no light at the end of the tunnel. So waiting for another call next week. We are so angry, frustrated and annoyed at this horrendous company.
    First Utility will time waste as much as possible so that they can wrack up another bill.
    Unreasonable horrendous company. DO NOT USE!
    If you are with them LEAVE!

    I am absolutely disgusted with this service and have obviously been sold a pup. I can't speak to anyone so in desperation have moved to anothet supplier after the first month.

    not sure the reviews are accurate
    broadband speed advised in advance is correct for my area its shown in advance
    fibre depends on provider and price
    80mb is not the norm
