    Utterly terrible - easily the worst company I have ever dealt with. An enormous amount of fake reviews on other platforms as well. They have rebranded three times since I have been with them and they failed to get in touch about this, despite there being no access to the any informationt o the disruption in the service. They didn't answer emails for months - no exaggeration. They don't answer the phone, they still don't answer emails and their website portal is terrible. Internet is fairly reliable, but the speeds are usually woefully slow. They have even now stopped their call queue and the phone just rings and rings and rings. I had two 1-hour long sessions of listening to the phone ring, one 45-minute, and a couple under 20 minutes - all of which were ignored. I guess they are either busy sorting out all the problems they have with all of the rest of their customers or just kicking back in the office playing cards. This is the last company I would ever recommend to anyone.

    TOTALLY DISGUSTED WITH BIGBLU. DO NOT THINK ABOUT USING THIS COMPANY.
    They were quick enough to take my money, and although the equipment was delivered after two weeks I did not get a call for installation. After numerous calls which timed out after 30 minutes and emails, I was finally contacted a month after receiving the equipment. During the period of trying to get hold of a customer service agent I had done research into Bigblu and soon realised that my problems would have just continued. We all have busy lives and why should we pay for a company like them to abuse us. I asked the engineer to collect the equipment and arrange a refund. I did not hear another word from anyone. I continued to email them as I could not get anyone to pick up on the phone. Eventually I was emailed by a customer service agent and then an engineer. The engineer called to arrange a time to install the equipment!!! I explained what had gone on and he kindly came and collected the goods. This was 3 weeks ago and guess what, I cannot get my refund sorted. They are THIEVES. PLEASE LOOK AT ALL THE COMPLAINTS AND SAVE YOURSELF TIME BY USING A RELIABLE COMPANY

    Used to be ok but absolutely awful speed now. So slow the speed checker still had no results after 30 minutes.
    If I could give no stars for speed I would
    Can wait up to 25minutes for a call to be answered
    Definitely getting worse over time

    Broadband service has worked well for the past two years but fibre has now come to my village in rural France so I want to cancel my contract given that its fixed-term has expired. So far I've been on hold waiting for an operator on their 01869 number for 15 minutes now - really not good enough.

    If I could give this company zero stars, I would. We've had to pay nearly £700 to get it installed and it's never worked since its been installed. We've spent hours on the phone to Europasat to get them to reset it. We're so fed up, we've been trying to cancel our service for over two months and despite written notification, we are STILL being billed for a non-existent service. We'd have been better off (and with less damage to the exterior of our house) if we'd posted money down the drain.

    DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!! We have had months and months of sheer hell. Service never worked, finally after months of chasing we got refunded. Now they wont release the confirmation that the government grant we used to enable us to get rural broadband, has been repaid. Without this we are held hostage to them as we cannot get broadband with anyone else. They are keeping this grant money illegally. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not use them, I do not want anyone else to have to endure the stress we have had with this company.

    Absolutely scandalous company! DO NOT USE this company. Failures on every level. Service did not work, de-installed within days due to them confirming the speed would never be sufficient to even read the newspaper online. Promised refunds, got partial one, other one is on its way blah blah blah, months of chasing, still nothing. Nightmare to contact at every stage, incredibly stressful company to deal with and told us so many lies. Truth is that this service is too far still in its infancy to provide the broadband speeds it promises, now since informed that many broadband companies will not enter this area of the market yet due to it being in its infancy and not currently fit for purpose. I would hate anyone else to have to experience what we have gone through.

    Absolute rubbish in every respect. Bought a dish and signed up to a "pay as you go" service for our holiday home. The actual internet is painfully slow (like the old days of dial up) but what is more frustrating is the fact that you have to buy packages of data for 7 euros which last a few hours with very light use (few emails and social networking notifications). Then you have to log on using a phone network to reload (which defeats the purpose!) but they don't apply the top up until they feel like it, which can take up to 24 hours Monday to Friday or not at all at weekends or Bank Holidays. Sometimes the top up just never materialises but when you call them they claim you must have left a device on which has used up the data in the background (I am not that dim, nor is it possible for a device to do that in seconds!) DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY WITH THIS SERVICE!

    Terrible billing system, don't take payment for months and then all at once. Complained about this last year and was promised it was sorted. Received two invoices today to be paid 6th and 7th Feb. When we checked, no payments taken since November.
