    It’s a real shame that it’s not in the least bit reliable!! It is as though when the customer service helpline closes the problems start which in my eyes is unforgivable! Although when you get through to them they advise you to turn the router off on then back on, it’s embarrassing to be honest with you

    Absolutely terrible… started with the broadband a month ago and still no connection. Terrible customer service, they tell you they will get back to you and they never do. Sent me two routers that do not work. Do not waste your time or money on this incompetent company.

    Terrible broadband.
    Nothing but issues since day one, been with them a month and again more issues with no Internet etc. In the first week we had to have someone out for same reason.

    Over 1 month since placing an order for unlimited fibre broadband with SSE, and still no internet. Terrible customer service, with me having to instigate contact and make enquiries 99% of the time. Very poor, steer clear.

    The worst Internet I had ever in my life, I had better speed 15 years ago with a different provider. Constantly dropping, terrible upload speed - around 0.05Mbps(!). I've been calling them multiple times and after waiting 30 minutes on the line got connected to a person which was nice but my phones had zero effect, it's worse with every month. If it wasn't provided by my landlady which doesn't want to change, I'd terminate the contract immediately.

    unreliable broadband. Also sneaky with contract information. My contract termination date was not provided on my online account or on my bills. when I switched provide they didn't bother to mention the £134 termination charge.

    Very very poor customer service I have experienced ever.
    They only good till we register with them, once we are in contract ,we have to keep on requesting them for each service. Wrong promise always.
